"Prophet Velvet will make the speech in the courtyard of the governnt building! Please co there!" A man in a blue and silver official Ascaind uniform was walking around the city, making announcents. He was escorted by several soldiers. "She will address last night's disaster and talk about the future of this country!"
The refugees gathered on the street exchanged glances. So followed the official's words to go to the governnt building, so remained silent because they were injured or too tired, and so approached the country's officials. The soldiers imdiately moved to block them from coming to the announcer.
"Is the prophet going to help us, Sir!?" one of the n asked frantically.
"Has she defeated that dragon!?" Another man joined in.
anwhile, a woman was crying. "Please, can I ask the prophet to help find my missing son?"
"You will find the answers to your questions in front of the governnt building." The official kept walking while the soldiers protected him. "So, co there, et the prophet in person!"
Ascaind officials don't just pass through that street. The other shapeshifters and succubi do the sa thing in all corners of the city by disguising themselves as officials or soldiers.
Apart from that, several real officials and soldiers from that country were forced to do this too. They have no other choice. The governnt they know is gone, and they can only depend on the prophet.

[Vorn's POV]
The crowds of people had already echoed from outside the governnt building where I was now. I sat in a room with ministers who could only look down in fear.
Well, for now, I still need them. They are in charge of carrying out the decisions of the council mbers. They know the condition of this country and how to manage it.
"It's okay, ladies and gentlen." I smiled at them. "Yes, change is inevitable, but I guarantee it won't be as bad as you imagine."
They didn't answer and just kept looking down.
"I am proud to witness this great thing, my lord." Ayre, sitting next to , said. "I'm looking forward to what will happen in the future."
I held the shapeshifter general's hand. "Yeah, but it's still early, Ayre."
Not long after, Velvet entered this room accompanied by several female soldiers. The color of her eyes and hair has returned to normal. Her fangs have also disappeared. However, I wonder if her scales are still there because she is already wearing her white-gold armor.
"Have you made any acquaintance with them, my lord?" the prophet asked.
I shrugged and got up from the chair. "Well, it seems they're still shy around ."
She approached , and I put my arm around her waist.
"It's going to be a great day, my love." I hissed in her face.
And she flashed a faint smile. My heartbeat soared at the sight of such a sweet thing. Finally, she can smile after a long ti of sadness and anger.
"Yeah, I agree." She answered, and I lightly kissed her mouth. My ears can catch gasp from those ministers.
"Ah, I haven't told you about my relationship with the prophet." I faced those people while continuing to wrap my arms around Velvet's waist.
They could only stare at the prophet with a frightened expressions.

The two of us went to the top floor of the building. Velvet nodded at , then out through the big window onto the balcony.
The people outside imdiately burst into cheers.
My gaze fixed on her figure. She carried a hefty burden on that tiny back. Everyone has enormous hopes and expectations for her.
I promise, Velvet. I will remove the burdens that tornt you.
The people outside fell silent as soon as the prophet raised a hand.
"Ladies and gentlen, all of you know that a giant dragon monster appeared last night! That thing went berserk, destroying our beloved city!" She exclaid in her distinctive deep voice. With the help of magic, her voice echoes far away so that many people will hear her. "But don't worry, we have defeated that creature!"
People applauded Velvet again. The prophet raised his hand a second ti to calm them down.
I know you are also suffering to tell this lie. What makes the destruction is you, after all.
Unfortunately, this must be done. There's no way you're telling the truth.
"And soone helps us in doing that." The prophet continued her speech, then turned her head to .
On signal from her, I entered the balcony, sparking a flurry of chatter from among the crowd.
I smiled at the thousands of people gathered, then raised my horns. So of them scread like crazy because of that.
"It's a demon!!!"
"Is that Vorn!? Vorn is with the prophet!?"
"What really happened!?"
"It's ti we eliminate discrimination against the demons!!!" Velvet let out a thunderous sound that miraculously made those people silent again. "Not only did he help us defeat the dragon, but he also exposed our corrupt governnt. So of you must already know that and go on. You can spread the stories of our vile officials. I will guarantee your safety. All council mbers and the pri minister is dead."
Those people were still silent. It seed they were shocked by the prophet's last words.
"You know what!? I think the arrival of the dragon monster is a punishnt from god!!! That creature is coming to exterminate the evils ruining this country from within!!!" Velvet clenched her fists up, and her voice grew even more fiery. "You may not believe it! But rember this! These words co out of my mouth, the prophet herself!"
"How could we believe you!?" One of the spectators near us shouted. "You could be a demon in disguise! It's impossible for a prophet to coexist with a vile creature!"
Commotion erupted. Those who worshiped Velvet began to mock and attack those who agreed with that person.
"Silence!!!" Velvet shouted again, and suddenly those people's bodies were covered with white light.
I checked my own body, which also experienced the sa thing.
Even after everything that happened, she can still perform miracles, huh?
