THIRD PERSON POV

"I didn't expect this to be the case when I first entered the Holy City. Is this what you truly desire, my dear bishop? You wish to betrayed your kin by giving in yourself?" Elpis asked the bishop who now kneels in front of her.

"I don't wish to see the demise of the Holy City, your highness. The holy priest has tainted our God's name once he has the power he desires. That man, Sylvester, was just an orphan when the church found him eating worms and hug in the middle of nowhere. Who could even imagine the deed he did once he's all grown up." Elpis scoffed.

"That's what you get for trusting the wrong person with your church. Why should I trust someone willing to betray his own superior? If you can do it now, only time will tell if you will betray me in the future." The bishop placed his head on the ground, showing his utmost respect for the shadow empress.

"This slave is willing to do anything for the empress. Even if this slave has to die for the empress, he is willing." Elpis begin to laugh at the bishop's dignity taken away from him.

"You kneel, begged, and even kowtow in front of me to save your city? How cute. Fine, I will entertain you only this time. Tell me, is there a woman named Cesaria in your city? I believe he's being held hostage by your holy priest." The bishop looked up.

"The queen is currently residing in the dungeon. The holy priest has turned her into his sex slave. This slave will show you the way to the dungeon of the empress is willing." Elpis turned to face Andromeda and Octavia.

"Do you hear that? The snow queen is indeed in the Holy City. Do you have a plan?" Andromeda nodded. Elpis smiled.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let Isadora leave my side. I need her to protect me while we barge into the city's gate. Since you two have a different mission, it's only natural that you bring the holy priest head for me. I want him begging for mercy before killing him with this Empire's sword." Both Andromeda and Octavia nodded.

"It shall be done, your highness." Andromeda's took the initiative and dragged the bishop away from the shadow empress.

"There is no need to hide, Isadora. Show yourself and stand beside me." The dame revealed herself from her hiding place and now to the empress.

"Now that we're here, what should we do, your highness? Do we slaughter every single citizen of the city and the holy priest, or should we just kill the knights and the holy priest?" Isadora inquired about her orders from the empress.

"Do not kill the innocent. Gather the nobles who reside in the city and kill the holy knights. The nobles and knights are working for the holy priest, after all. Let the citizen witness what kind of person their 'priest' truly is. We shall let the things happening in the dungeon go public." Isadora nodded.

"We have gained ourselves the bishop's help. Although the bishop may seem like the person who we can use for this battle, do remember that he is still a member of the temple. They will exploit you and your sources if it gets them the things they want." Isadora nodded as she heeds the empress's warning.

"What about all the friar and altar boys who reside in the city?" Isadora questioned before leaving the empress.

"Capture them and let them watch their holy priest become nothing but mere pieces of meat. That should be enough to tell the temple that the Empire is not a force; they should be challenging. I had enough troubles with the elders from the palace and, of course, the unknown force from the Magic Kingdom to deal with. Warn them that if they wish to continue to cause any more trouble for the Empire, I shall wipe their whole existence from this world. Even if I have to go to Hell for this, I shall do it." Isadora now before excusing herself.
