"Do you know what's on this floor?" Karl asked the Dullahan.
"I have no slightest idea, my lord. Most of us don't," the Dullahan replied, his voice a low, hollow sound. "Only the inquisitors and ancient gatekeeper demons know what lies here. Me and the rest of the 66th Knight Legion were exiled here."
"Exiled?" Karl's interest was piqued. "Why? And what are 'gatekeeper demons'?"
"We actually do not know," Libera said from behind.
"But if I had to guess, it might have to do with my superiors and other knight legion commanders," the Dullahan mused.
Karl, with his business acumen, realized the reason instantly. "Ahhh... I get it. Jealousy?"
"Sort ot," the Dullahan nodded. "I defeated my superior, a Knight General, in a duel. He didn't inform me beforehand that it was supposed to be a performance."
