The official reason for the King of the East, Anu, coming to the Border Guard was Martai, but, of course, he had another motive.
“Has Naurillia gone mad, or is it the newly crowned king who has lost his mind? I need to figure that out. But first, I want to see the so-called Demon Slayer’s face.”
Anu made his name at eighteen by hunting lions on the eastern plains. Before he turned fifty, he had gathered his people and founded a nation in the East—a hero in his own right.
Yet, he had one bad habit.
Whenever he found someone promising, he wanted to take them back to the East. He had an insatiable desire for talent.
That wasn’t necessarily a misfortune for those he took.
“Do you regret becoming my brother? Then you’re free to leave!”
