The people of the Beast Empire were no strangers to their customs. In fact, they accepted the current ruler mostly due to the church of Death's influence and the secret knights who patrolled the streets, kidnapping those who spoke out.
So when rumours of a new empress came in, someone from the Far East started flowing.
It became a monumental event!
"Extra! Extra! Read all about the new Empress! A new era for our empire!" A young group of orphans ran through the various streets selling cheaply printed papers.
Yet their high-pitched voices contained hope—a fresh breeze blew into the city.
"Oh my... the Princess from the Inukami clan? I heard their territory has many hot springs!"
"You're right. Could this mean the empire will lift that horrid travel ban?" Many noble women from the various clans felt restricted because the Empress in the past banned any travel to the Inukami tribe due to the influence of Mephisto.
