700 years ago

"Still no humans from the farms, huh? I haven't had human meat for two years now..."

"If we could just get some. Even an arm or leg."

"So so hungry...."

"The neighboring village has been wiped out. Everyone had changed into looking like monsters. It was truly a horrid sight."

"Ah, it's no good. We'll soon too be..."

Footsteps were approaching the weak people. A slender hand outstretched towards them. There was a cloaked young girl. "It's okay." She assured. "Everything is alright now."

"You know about her, Norman?" Emma asked.

"Yes." He replied. "Although I only know of her existence through second-hand information. 'Since she's been born, that demon has never eaten humans.' She's a singular special exception where, without eating humans, she can preserve her humanoid traits and knowledge. Her date of birth and origin are unknown. The earliest confirmed info on her dates back to 700 years ago. After the 'promise', before the farm system had been established. The girl had started to appear before villages ravished by famine. She was their messiah."

      "Messiah, huh." Y/n muttered.

"With only a small portion of her blood, she was able to infect others with that power of hers. They no longer needed to eat arms or legs. Not to mention they had no need to eat brains either. All with just one cup. With just one cup of that girl's blood, those demons were able to gain the same genetic makeup as that girl."

The three gaped at the new info.

"Demons that drink Musica's blood will have a form like Musica..." Emma reiterated. "So you're saying there were demons that were fine without eating humans?"

"Yes... and, using their blood, they increased the number of demons that they imparted that 'power' onto." Norman added.

"If we give demons Musica's blood..." Emma started. "...Then we can create demons that don't degenerate without eating humans."

"After that, sharing that girl's power with the village and the surrounding communities, she rid them of their hunger, and helped them escape being wiped out. Before long, those rumors had started to spread to the king and nobility. They conducted an investigation. So, the family and five regent homes captures all who were connected to that girl. They killed all who possessed that blood, and ate them."

"Huh?" Emma chimed. "Why?!"

"They were afraid of her power in the blood." Y/n stated. Emma looked at her with wide eyes.

"But now I see..." Norman continued. "In the records, although it said that she was eaten and killed at that time... she escaped and lives on..."

"But if that's the case, then Sung Joo wasn't originally a demon without the need to eat humans." Ray said. "He most likely used Musica's blood to avoid degenerating and survive, right? Also, the current royal family and five noble families... they're exceptions. The same as Musica."

     "Exactly." Norman replied. "Giran also knows of that. For that reason, wishes to kill and eat the royal family and five regent homes. That's why Giran wants to completely eradicate the king and nobility. As you know, the royal family and regent homes are exceptions. But this plan still won't run into any difficulty. The nobility is limited in number, so we can deal with them directly. As opposed to eliminating their food source and forcing them to degenerate. Therefore, in this case, we don't need to worry about your concerns for the plan collapsing. What's more dangerous than them is-"
