At Theon inside the fortress which now acted as a temporary base of operations for the Military of Ikarus which was under the command of the Fourth Prince Estafan.
A soldier entered the office of the Commander and told him that "You have a visitor, Sir." Estafan who was cladded with a black mask which only revealed his shiny blue eyes and silver hair along with a black shirt which hid his entire upper body along with a black gloves which hid his hands.
He would nod at the soldier as an indication of allowing the visitor to come in. The visitor was a priest from the sect of Michaellism.
Goddess Michaella was prayed upon by two sects, one being male lead with male only members and other being a female lead female only members.
The priest walked in, he was wearing light blue pants with his upper body revealed which only had a chain with a pyramid hanging on it.
The pyramid was the sacred symbol of the religion, it was a black pyramid which had shining sapphire gem on the very top of the pyramid because the Goddess loved the colours blue to the point where her blessings would appear in that colour.
It is said that House Angeras was blessed by the Goddess hence why they all have blue eyes which was a unique aspect.
The Priest sat down and said "I hope I am not taking your precious time." The Prince responded by saying "I have already conquered this place, my presence now is to ensure none dares to think of fighting again so I have all the time in the world to spend."
The Priest would smile at those words before saying "You very well know why I am here right." Said in a serious tone where he continued "I follow the will of the Goddess of Justice... And what you did in the lands you conquered is something against the will of the Goddess."
But Estafan said "I love your Goddess and I do believe in her but I never conquered this land for her so I did not go against her will." Those words got a quick response from the Priest who said "Everything we do is a will of the Goddess.. we took you in because we believed that you had potential to bring justice in her name but you ended up going against her will."
"Everything I have done in my life was my own will." The Prince continued to say "It was my own path, a path which I took, a path which I paved for myself... It is true that your Goddess did abandon me or else she wouldn't have allowed them to kill my mother. Where was the justice then?"
The Priest said with a calm tone "The Goddess will bring justice." But the Prince refuted those words "No, she never did. I waited for many years but she never did, that is why I killed one. I would have done more if I weren't banished but here we are."
The Priest asked the Prince "But that doesn't mean you could kill civilians, including children in sheer brutality which would make God of destruction feel nauseous." Those words made him chuckle. "Ah.. thank you for the compliment, that was funny."
"Be serious." The Priest slammed his fist on the table "You will be put under her chains of justice if you continue this path of violence... Return back to the sect to her bosom so she can guide you back to the right path.. path of righteousness and justice." But Estafan refused "No.. I would have considered it but your Goddess truly finds me bad or else she would have answered my calls when I called for her."
The Priest explained "The Goddess will not come to your aid whenever you need her... She will come when you really need her or when the time is right." The Prince refuted those words "Yes, when I was ambushed with my mother where my mother died. I called for her, she never came. In fact I survived by my own will or else I would have died on that day as well."
Estafan continued to bicker "I am sure of it." He said with an annoyed tone "Your Goddess only likes them, the ones who killed my mother.. my kitten.. or else she wouldn't have made me suffer and gave them a better life."
The Priest said "The Goddess will punish them." Estafan denied that "No.. look at my brother Leprian.. he killed a small baby because it was off a different race.. he tortured a small kitten who I loved, the one thing which gave me hope in that palace where I was forced to be alone.. he along with his brother tortured it to death.. and then killed many other kittens as well because I liked them.. if I hadn't killed his brother that night then he too would have had a nice life because the Goddess loves them."
The Priest simply sighed "You truly underestimate the great Michaella... She will show justice to those who deserve it but if you continue this path Estafan.. you would only meet her wrath and trust me.. you don't want her anger falling upon you because you will not be able to handle it."
Estafan nodded "I am ready to take her wrath.. if need be I'll continue this path of revenge or else my soul will never be satisfied because I do not want to go to the afterlife and tell those who have been killed for being loved by me that I failed them all. I would rather tell them that I made those criminals repent with their blood and screams.." those words made the priest stand up "Seems like you fell deep into the hole of bloodlust... I am sure of it, the Goddess will save you because Michaella will not abandon her children."
The Priest walked but he stopped when Estafan said "I do hope she won't abandon me as I want her to support me when I kill them because that is true justice." Those words made the Priest laugh before he left.
