The city lord leaves to practice, but he is interrupted by the president, who asks him to act as if he is his own home. He tells the city lord that the dark guild and the sacred family share some "unspeakable secrets" and that they need "conclusive proof" to link them. The dark guild has planted a pill to trace orders, sent men to find them, and planted a cerberus beast to track down orders. The president says that the city walls are growing higher, but that talent is decreasing.
