"Cardinal Bishop! What a pleasant surprise to see you again. But didn't you say that you won't be attacking me again? What a surprise to see that you went back on your word so soon?"

Priestess Cana spoke softly, but she had no emotion in her voice.
Her spearheaded toward Layla again with a sharp edge, but Mary's axe stopped the holy spear, causing the air to share as two opposite forces collided.
Raizel pushed Layla behind her as he got ready to defend her. He was not asking questions, but his determined gaze made the Cardinal smile.
The older man stepped forward, and Layla tensed up.
