Up to now, not too many people know just how dangerous the current situation really is? They simply believe what they see is the entire picture, oblivious to the profound undercurrents swirling beneath, where dangers lurk every day. The Emperor and the Earl have always been protecting these defenseless civilians, with the hope of ensuring their safety.
This safety is not something that can be achieved through mere words; it must be attained via very important means and methods. However, most of the military power and protective capability have indeed been allocated to the armed forces. After all, during wartime, the military is of utmost importance. If anything were lacking in their allocation, it could lead to an even worse situation. Thus, most of the resources have been given to the military. In fact, the force deployment within the capital has become terribly insufficient; even the troops safeguarding the Emperor have mostly been reassigned to the army, let alone the civilians.
