"I received a notice today that states that William had declared war against you, and anyone who joins your side will be treated as his enemy," the Headmaster of Hestia Academy, Byron, said. "I would like to inform you that Hestia Academy will not be taking part in the war between you and the Ainsworth Empire."
"Well, I never expected any help coming from you in the first place, Byron," the Pope replied with a sneer. "Just go and hide in your little Academy, while I deal with the Prince of Darkness myself."
The Pope had received similar communications throughout the day after William had sent his messengers to every part of the Central Continent to inform the Kings and Emperors that he was about to wage war against the Holy Order of Light.
"You and your organization don't stand a chance," Byron stated. "It will be best if you surrender. At least, your life can be spared if William is compassionate enough."
