Chapter 352 Arch Bishop Millan
The bishops froze when they heard that. They knew that if the emperor wanted to kill them, a snap of his fingers would be more than enough.

The emperor saw the fear in their eyes and smiled. "No need to be afraid. Everything that I'm telling you now is information I can give without worrying about your lives.
But let's talk a little about the hero candidate issue. After that, I'll take you to see the final stages of the demon blood experiment. We have come a long way since I got it, and this final phase can make or break it all," the emperor said.
The bishops felt unsettled by the emperor's mood and willingness to show them all these things, but they didn't speak. They were getting results, and that was all that really mattered.
"So you said that Silva killed hero candidate Leah?" the emperor asked. His expression went serious as he asked about it.
"Yes, like we said already," the bishops responded.
"Then why has none of my men told me about this? Why did it have to be the Holy Kingdom that came to tell me about it?" he asked.
"I believe that is because all the people you sent died," one of the bishops revealed. His words shocked the emperor.
"What?" the emperor asked with a loud shout.
"The one who can see the hero candidates told us about the death of the hero candidate, so we immediately sent one of our best priests, one that was capable of hiding even in plain sight.
He was able to get close to the captain of the Dark Dragon, but he could only watch from a distance to avoid getting caught, and he saw it all. He saw that your entire army had been destroyed," the bishop said.
"A few questions are in my mind right now, and I hope you will answer. The first is, how did you make it to the kingdom so fast?" the emperor asked.
"I have sat here listening to you two spew stupid bullshit. I know that the Holy Kingdom is in charge of watching the candidates until they become heroes, but there is no such thing as 'the one that sees the hero candidates.'
You found out that Leah was dead through another means, and you are lying to me. You have been ever since you walked in. The only things you have said that are true are the fact that my army got killed and that Leah died.
Everything else that you both have said is not true, so I wonder why you came here. What did you seek to gain with these lies?" the emperor asked.
The bishops looked at the emperor in shock, not knowing how he saw through their lies.
"Well, no need for you to tell me at all. I already know the reason, you conniving bastards. Tell me, how much credit were you promised if you managed to lie to me?" the emperor asked.
Suddenly, the doors swung open, and a man walked in.
He had a black bishop robe on him and a red cap on his head.
"Archbishop Millan."
Both bishops fell to the ground, bowing to the bishop.
"They would get no credits. These two bishops acted on their own. They took information that was not yet ready to be released and came to tell you.
The reason they had to lie is because of the holy oath that refuses to allow them to tell anything we at the Holy Kingdom consider a secret, so they had to make a workaround.
What they really sought after was to gain favor from you. Now that war is near, they believe you are the safer option, and they ran to you.
Or is my thinking flawed?" Millan asked the bishops.
