Inside the spacious worshipping room, the Emperor had suddenly erupted in a burst of violent laughter. "Hahaha! This is even better than I excepted!"
The Holy Mother who was close by scorned, not even trying to hide her feeling of disgust. But all of that was hidden behind the veil that covered her face. Still, they were in the middle of a serious conversation, so she was forced to say something to the man that she found sickening. "I have already warned about the consequences that you will have to face if you fail, but it looks like you are already tired of living. Shall I take your soul now?"
The Holy Mother talked in an almost mechanical way, not wanting to let this man witness any hint of emotion in her voice.
