The kingdom of Uta was currently in a state of lockdown as they all anticipated the demon lord's next move. Every street and shop in the kingdom was ordered to shut down and there was hardly anyone on the streets. The people were not allowed to go out past a certain time because of a kingdom-wide curfew and there would be no goods coming in or going out of the kingdom for now! The kingdom made sure that there was no chance of someone sneaking into the kingdom no matter what. They didn't want to be caught unaware by the demon lord.
The person that put this law into place was Priscilla! After she called in all of the Grand Commanders around the kingdom, she put them in charge of handling the curfew while she secluded herself in the castle! Priscilla didn't do this because she was trying to protect the people, but instead, she wanted to make sure that if there was any trouble in the kingdom, the Grand Commanders would be able to stop it for her.
