A few hours earlier.
Lilith was going around the castle, preparing to hold the court session like usual. On the way, she saw the salamander that came together with her, and since he was a dangerous fellow, she brought him to the castle to show there were people stronger than him beside her.
Obviously, his appearance piqued many people's interest as it was rare for Lilith to bring someone in.
That thought only stopped after Lilith told them what had happened.
No wonder Lilith brought this guy over. The salamander was simply too strong. Although they didn't want to admit it, the salamander might be among one of their strongest people.
So, they agreed with Lilith's decision.
Lilith also shifted their attention from the salamander to the volcano. Although the eruption wasn't that big compared to the records in the royal library, the area was still devastated, especially the elves that sought refuge in the neighboring town.
