* Lord Geelan did cruel things after his FaceHeelTurn such as killing the children of the Five Regent Families, and he had planned from the start to betray Norman and the other humans, but his downfall and death are still shown into a tragic light. Flashbacks reveal that he lost his wife and his entire family after the Queen and the other heads of the Regent Families betrayed him. His own subjects sacrificed their lives, allowing themselves to be eaten by his and his vassals' feral forms. 700 years later, he and his clan finally have an occasion to get their revenge. Geelan's vassals sacrifice their lives without hesitation to weaken the Queen, and to give him the chance to kill her. At one point, Geelan is about to deal Legravalima the finishing blow, in a panel featuring him surrounded by all his companions and friends who gave their lives for his cause... Only for Legravalima to destroy his body in one blow. Then, she cruelly mocks him by showing him the corpses of his friends, taunting him that justice doesn't always win, and that he's long stopped being on justice's side, before she kills hom.

* Chapter 113. The partisans of the second William Minerva raid a factory farm and kill all the demons there. They arrive to the main room, filled with children trapped on the machine that feeds them and keeps them alive. 'William Minerva' frees one of the children and says that they're there to help them, but the boy can only utter gurgles as tears fell down his eyes. Minerva and his supporters can't bring the children with them, as they are brain-dead and couldn't survive without the machine's life-support. The only thing they can do is offering them a MercyKill by shutting down the electricity, and breaking their chains to allow them to at least die free.

* Aishe's horrible childhood - or rather, her ''lack'' of one. She was considered "defective goods" due to the massive scar on her face, and was set aside to be disposed of when she was just a baby. However, a demon with a similar facial defect took pity on her and snuck her to his home. At first he raised her as a pet, but as time went on she became more like a daughter to him. When Minerva's army raided, he ordered her to hide while he fended off the raiders, and got horribly killed for it. The reason she's only spoken the demon's language since then? So that she'd be able to openly declare her hatred of Minerva's Army and desire for revenge without them realizing it.

All the "demons" had to do was drink one drop of their blood and they could maintain their human intelligence permanently and give birth to "demons" with permanent human intelligence as well. But because of the "demon" royals and nobles and the Ratri family's greed and paranoia, they were all eaten by the royals and five regents until only Mujika was left.

that Connie had been killed what they just witnessed was a mistake or a trick or just ''something'' that wasn't real. An equally shaken Norman tells her whole world had literally been shattered. that it was real, leading to Emma screaming in anguish and saying that she doesn't want her family to die.

* Isabella had loved a boy named Leslie when she was younger, and of course one day he was shipped off and she discovered the truth about the farm. The one thing she had to remember him by is a song he sang, and which she sings to her child in the womb when she was pregnant as it was the only thing that kept her strong.
** But her expression when she hears Ray singing Leslie's tune means that Ray is ''her own child'', and Ray tells Emma he remembers everything even when he was inside the womb. He even asks her why she gave birth to him.
