News of Emmeline, the fox princess, becoming Kelsey's lady-in-waiting spread through the noble circles within days. Any demon nobles who had been secretly considering rebellion were forced to reconsider. After all, the Fox Tribe was the strongest noble clan in the North after the Devil Dragon Clan.
Previously, those nobles had only dared to oppose Luca because they believed they could control him indirectly—by holding Kelsey hostage through Emmeline. Now that the fox princess served the human queen wholeheartedly, that plan had collapsed entirely.
Their rebellion died before it could begin.
That same day, Kelsey received word that her parents were returning to Boar Village. Wanting to see them before they left, she asked Emmeline to accompany her outside the palace.
"Are you close to the boar couple?" Emmeline asked, unable to hide her curiosity. She found it strange that a human would show such respect toward low-rank demons.
