HAHAHAHA... Clevatess hustled Dorel, the guy sacrificed his body and only got Clevatess's shadow, and that was only because he wanted to take advantage of the guy thinking he defeated him.
But as much as I find fun seeing Dorel wasting his body... this does not change much of the situation, Clevatess now has a bigger picture to consider.
In a way, this was kinda already happening, I forgot which, but another King was already being pretty hostile to humans after they started taking beasts from her forest, I don't think she is the one that is behind Dorel, as Dorel seems to be the cause of her hostility against the locals in her area, but with this newfound info of a possible King being Dorel's patron or puppeteer... things are about to get even more complex.
Now... funny enough Luna's mother is alive, happy for that, a child should have their parents, but I kinda wanted to see how things would go if Luna only had Clevatess and Co to take care of him... not that the princess could do much, Clevates will still take care and guide Luna, and there is very little anyone can do.
I am curious how this story will develop in the grand scheme of things, i need to do a reread, but the things I think were implied is... that the people in this peninsula are forced to stay in it, don't remember if they were pushed to it, but it is clear that there is a bigger world outside... but that brings the question why the Devil Kings only stay in the immediate vicinity of this area.
There are some directions this could take that I would find cool, hope the author has a good plan for that.
