Pov Athena:
We arrived in less than 3 days in the capital of the Black Empire, from the information we have this must be the place where Queen lissa is hiding and Gregory Roux has already discovered this.
Our target must not be here yet, from the letter we found it will still take 1 day to arrive at least.
Entering this city was much easier, I borrowed a letter of introduction from Lilian before coming, this was to et the people of the Empire to seek information if possible, but this ti I need their help.
With this letter that bears the 7 horns mark on the flag of the Black Empire, the normal soldiers did not recognize it, but their commander was surprised to see the symbol and let us in, actually guided us personally to the second floor of a restaurant.
"I want your best fruit plate, I'm not a at fan." (I)
"Should you eat in that kind of situation?" (Angela)
"We must not fear them, besides, poisons from this continent will be useless against us." (I)
When we reach the second floor we go to a VIP room where a middle aged waiter appears to take our order while the commander of the gate guards leaves.
"Athena is right, they have no reason to do anything against us and even if they did it would be useless." (Darius)
"The best thing for us is to show that we are not a threat, we are here to do sothing that will help them, even if it's another reason it doesn't change the fact that it will help all of them." (I)
"I'm curious to know how much of your words are true, I would also like to know where you got that letter."
A woman appears to appear out of nowhere as if she's been transferred here using space movent magic, but the truth is she was using magic to hide in this room before we even entered here.
"My na is lissa, I am the Queen of this Empire." (Queen lissa)
"I already knew, nice to et you, your majesty." (I)
She had long straight black hair, golden eyes, snow white skin, and 4 Horns, 2 of these Horns are on the side of her head and the other 2 are on the corners of her forehead, the 4 Horns seem to form so sort of crown, I can't see her wings and tail, but she probably has the common ability to hide these parts of her body.
On closer inspection, she doesn't look weakened as the information we have claims.
"I wonder why people from the Church of Light ca here, let alone a Celestina like you." (Queen lissa)
"Surprises to be discovered so quickly, what gave us away?" (I)
"You can try to hide your strength, but that's not an easy thing to do if you're not able to hide your Auras completely." (Queen lissa)
"It was exactly their Auras that showed their strengths and the elent of light that they all share." (Queen lissa)
"So you assud we were from the Church of Light, not far from the truth." (I)
"We used to be part of the Church of Light, but not anymore." (I)
"You expect to believe it? Why not kill all of you now?" (Queen lissa)
"Because the magic you've been working on while trying to distract us with all this talk might destroy this restaurant, but it won't do anything to ." (I)
"Besides, if I wanted to do sothing, then I would have done it another way, I wouldn't have to expose myself that way." (I)
"..." (Queen lissa)
I had already noticed the 5 ritual annihilation spells in this room being controlled by her, I learned early on to be sensitive to demonic energy and miasma, for to feel these 2 types of energy is as simple as breathing.
"What do you want? How did you get this letter?" (Queen lissa)
"We are on a mission, this letter was delivered by your aunt, you must understand the aning of this, right?" (I)
"..." (Queen lissa)
I must say that this ruler is well qualified, she possesses strength and intelligence, she has shown no reactions to anything I have said so far, and has been trying to find out the truth from my words and expressions.
I didn't expect anyone to be able to see through my disguise so quickly and I'm glad she was able to believe Kinshasa's words, I don't want to start a battle in the middle of a city.
"How is she?" (Queen lissa)
"As always, striving to serve the Blood Goddess alongside the High Priestess, furthermore she asked to tell you which students of hers are with her now." (I)
"I already knew that when they left with their families it could only be to be by her side." (Queen lissa)
She smiles as she talks about Lilian, but soon her gaze turns serious as she looks at .
"I take it you are my aunt's companion, right?" (Queen lissa)
"Yes, we serve the sa High Priestess of Blood, plus we live in the sa city." (I)
"(Unfortunately I can't reveal more than that, I hope it's enough for her to agree to cooperate in our mission.)" (I)
"Did you say sothing about so kind of mission, what is this about?" (Queen lissa)
I spend the next few minutes explaining our mission to kill Gregory Roux, in exchange for their cooperation I'll pass on important information about their troops.
"Just killing him is useless, otherwise I would have killed him a long ti ago." (Queen lissa)
"I've waited a long ti, even before I was crowned Queen of the Black Empire." (Queen lissa)
"I've waited for this idiot to try to take the throne all this ti, it gave him plenty of opportunities he refused to take advantage of, unfortunately, I was caught off guard when he finally made his move this ti." (Queen lissa)
"Did you want him to cause a civil war?" (I)
"No, I never thought he would have spread his influence so much across the Empire without being noticed, I'm glad that Monster Wave gave him the conditions to advance his plans, probably he wanted to wait until the turn of the year for the next Annual Monster Wave." (Queen lissa)
"But even if it was on a larger scale than expected, the result was still sothing good when they're all dead." (Queen lissa)
"You an..." (I)
"This whole uprising helped find all the conspirators hiding in the Empire or at least most of them, thanks to Gregory Roux I can now openly attack to cleanse these plagues that corrupt this great Empire." (Queen lissa)
