In the giant dark throne chamber, the devil lord sat on his throne with his usual laid-back demeanor. However, only he knew how annoyed he truly felt about how things had turned out. The events in the Doria Empire were spiraling out of his control, and he hadn't expected the entire devil network to be exposed instead.
Initially, he wanted all the devils and their assets in the empire to continue operating as they had before. After the war, there would be a crisis of faith among the nobles, the populace, and even the imperial family itself. The Doria Empire would be consumed by its own suspicions and eventually crumble from within.
However, things started to go south when their information network was suddenly compromised, and the emperor broke the Envy Devil's curse. Everything began to collapse like a row of dominoes, spiraling out of control. Now, the devils' operations in the Doria Empire have essentially come to a halt, with no devils or pawns remaining in strategic positions.
