Synopsis

The chapter opens with the Masked Monarch encountering someone who wants their weapon back, which he obtained from the Castle of Confusion. Instead of returning it immediately, he proposes to clear the castle first and assess the reward's value before making a deal. He also promises to share the clear method exclusively with the Emperor Guild. Later, he encounters a dying Demon Soldier who asks him to bury a precious item with his wife. The soldier expresses remorse for not doing it himself, leading to a happy moment where he learns about the soldier's marriage and impending parenthood.
