"In that case, I want to see the seal," Ben said. "There is a daemon I am looking for."
"Which one?" Isabella raised an eyebrow. "There are plenty of daemons here.
If it is one of the sealed ones, they are all in the same place, unless it is one of those that escaped."
"Escaped?" Ben leaned forward a little. "How many daemons have you actually fought here?"
"In total, seventy-two were sealed in this land," she replied. "Of those, thirty-three were unsealed during the war.
Three managed to escape.
The rest are still locked away."
Three escaped?
His mind moved quickly.
The barriers around this region were dense and layered.
It should have been impossible for a daemon to simply slip out without anyone noticing.
That meant they probably had not left the region at all.
They were still somewhere in the kingdom.
"If three escaped," Ben said, narrowing his eyes, "then this situation is not over, is it?"
Isabella nodded. "Exactly.
That is why I sent someone to find you."
