"So no holding back anymore," Alfred smirked at Esmond's words as he felt a weight leave his shoulders. It was a storage feeling despite knowing the danger level had increased tremendously, it also meant he could finally unleash the old man on the church's forces. "I'm sure you have plans already on how to deal with things. Just don't go overboard. If the Bishops start dying then the Church will be forced to intervene,"
"Of course Your Majesty. Also, what do you want me to do with those ones you have singled out."
"Give them a hard time. Don't overstep your boundaries but make their stay as unpleasant as you can."
"By any means?" Esmond asked slyly and it got Alfred to smile happily.
"Any means Esmond. I won't let the Church have its way." The man smiled getting the response as Alfred stood up. "I must leave you, I need to meet William." Esmond gave a bow and followed him out going the opposite way as Alfred walked two doors down and let himself in.
