The empire's Chancellor has finally been exposed.
And since Ethan had several private interactions with the Chancellor recently, the royal family naturally identified him as a remnant of the Violet Commune. However, the arrival of the old lady did address his curiosity about why Balmon didn't have the signature hair tuft — it appears now that Balmon wasn't a legitimate member of the Margaret Family.
"Surrender, rogue!"
The Forbidden Guard shouted.
Since that dramatic upheaval, the Violet Commune became a taboo term in the Imperial Capital, and the remnants that should have been eradicated during Henry V's era have come back to life once again today.
"Understood!"
Ethan said, glancing at the hunched old lady and her right hand hidden behind her back.
It seems the old lady isn't completely senile, as this time, what appeared between her fingers wasn't dough but five small, intricate silver blades.
"Since you've discovered us, there's no point in hiding anymore."
