Two days before winter ended, tributes from various territories arrived...which were silver coins transported in carriages, as tax, to the Demon King Territory. The quantity was consistent with the figures from Vampire Leader Senata.
"The tribute has arrived, sourced from forty territories."
Senata reported during the morning assembly, but her expression was exceptionally grim. Not only her...everyone's face was gloomy, except for those who went with Yila to find the Harpy yesterday.
Even the Mechanical Body and the Black Knight, whose expressions were hard to read, were surrounded by a dark, oppressive aura.
Senata, with eyes burning with fury, looked at Satan Ye, who still had no clue what had happened, and reported through gritted teeth: "But, many territories did not pay according to the agreed proportions! Over twenty territories!"
