HANNA had somehow succeeded in calming the citizens of the empire who took shelter in the Imperial Capital.
Warm and delicious food was the answer.
When the servants with food carts came out one by one and the delectable smell filled the air, the crowd began to calm down.
She took that as an opportunity to announce that the operation to catch the reanimated corpses that filled the Imperial Capital was going well. Thanks to the good news, the people seemed to have forgotten about Neoma's death for now.
But there were people who couldn't and wouldn't forget about the tragic news.
[I barely stopped them from leaving the palace to get to where Neoma is.]
If they didn't receive a message from Dahlia saying that she would be returning to the palace with Lord Ruto, Nero, and Neoma, then Lewis and the others would have left already.
[Fortunately, Dahlia was quick to send a message.]
