The first to get the news wasn't Morvius—even though he had been watching Agatha carefully, waiting for the moment she would lead him to Clyde.
No. It was the Demon King Bael who had prepared more thoroughly than anyone had realized.
Long before this day, after a cold and veiled visit to Graemory's private chamber, Bael had already planted a secret spell on her. A watcher—silent and patient—that clung to her like a parasite hidden within her soul.
It didn't activate or interfere, only recorded and followed her. Not even Graemory herself knew it was there.
Bael had grown paranoid ever since the rumors of anomalies like Clyde began to spread. He didn't trust anyone in the Hell Realm anymore. Not even his fellow Demon Lords.
So he had cast hundreds of subtle and complex surveillance spells woven into the stones, the air, and even the blood of his generals. He even use a lot of his artifacts to enhance his magic power so that he can maintain the spell to keep activating.
