It was clear that King Varis had made up his mind.
He couldn't allow God of Darkness followers to interfere with his upcoming plans.
As the ruler of a nation, he had his own ambitions to pursue.
Duke Dzemael and Duke Haillenarte understood that they had lost the king's trust.
But giving up their faith was out of the question.
They exchanged a look, silently making a decision.
King Varis knew better than to force them into a decision immediately.
He simply wanted to remind them who was in charge, ensuring that they wouldn't obstruct his future plans.
This timing also aligned with the schedule Hanjun had set for the diplomatic missions.
With stiff expressions, the two dukes left the palace, their minds made up at last.
Since King Varis had firmly decided to eliminate the demons, the two dukes no longer needed to worry about his status as king.
They now regarded him as an enemy of the God of Darkness's followers.
