[Current location: Holy empire – Capital city – Holy Castle – Throne room]"…"
(Okay! Am I fucked?!) – thought Iron Will as he was on his knee alongside the Daughter Of Mercy.
"…"
"Stand up." – said the holy emperor.
"…"
Without saying anything, both of them got up.
"I've read the letter from Godfrey and I understand the situation….. But."
"I want to hear it from your mouths how it went."
"…'
(OKAY! IF I SCREW THIS UP, I WILL REALLY BE FUCKING DEAD!) – thought panicking Iron Will.
"The…. The enemy knew that they could not win a head on confrontation with us….. And so, they chose to hinder us." – spoke up Iron Will.
"They took down all of our current means of obtaining supplies while also attacking locations that stored our food supplies."
"We obviously tried to gain new means of obtaining food…. But the enemy also sabotaged every single place, be it a farm or a monster infested locations…. They destroyed everything, leaving nothing for us."
"Afterwords…. Our entire army began starving, losing power…. We were not able to push forward anymore and be forced on the defense…. We were able to hold them back somewhat at first…. But as our search for the food failed over and over…. Resulting in massive scale starvation….. Afterwords, our troops were not able to hold back the enemy any longer, we started losing the ground….. Before then ultimately being defeated."
"Before then taking one of most reinforced ships with the elite escort in order to at least bring Daughter Of Mercy to the safety, away from that lost war."
"And then you were rescued by my other daughter as your ship was about to sink." – said the holy emperor.
"Y-yes…" – replied nervous Iron Will.
"…"
"And you are saying, if you didn't lost means of securing the supplies, you would had won that war?" – asked the emperor.
"Yes…. The starvation was the main reason we had really had lost the war." – replied Iron Will.
"…"
"I see." – said the emperor.
"…"
"…."
"?"
(Am I safe?) – thought scared Iron Will.
" Honestly, I should punish you both, since not only did you failed my order, but also order from the heavens themselves."
"But….. You had saved my daughter and was lost already at that point, therefore, there won't be any form of punishment."
"If anything, I will reward you later for bringing my daughter to safety."
"For now, dismissed, both of you."
"!"
"Yes your holiness!" – said the Daughter Of Mercy as she bowed her head alongside Iron Will, before then quickly leaving the throne room in hurry.
"…"
(HOLY SHIT! I'M SAFE!) – thought panicking Iron Will.
(I've thought I would lose my current nobility status or something, but no?! I really just got rewarded?!)
(Honestly, we all fucked up big time and everything! Hell! I was even expecting some sort of harsh quest as punishment, like the hell mode type of quest, but nothing?!o her wasn't just meant to steal her hearth, but also her authority and divinity. A good part of it was stolen and instead replaced with a curse."
"We already removed the curse…. But the damage it has done was far worse than we had originally thought."
"I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do anymore."
"…"
"Then how did he even got here….. HOW THE HELL A GOD OF HELL GOT INTO THE HEAVENS!? HOW DID HE DO IT!?" – shouted the mother of light.
"We…. We don't know." – said the lady wearing a vail, the daughter of the goodness of beauty and fire.
"Before anybody had realized, a portal suddenly opened…. And before mother could had reacted… She was already struck down by the demonic god, before then he disappeared after plucking out her heart."
"…"
(Dammit! Nothing makes sense here!) – thought the mother of light.
(Even if the one that struck down my daughter was a god of hell, there is no way he would had been able to do it!)
(I mean, this is heaven! His authority and divinity should had been weekend by just stepping a foot in this place!)
(And yet he left my daughter in half dead state while her own power was stolen?!)
(….)
(There is many question regarding this….. But most importantly would be this.)
(What does he plan on doing with my daughter authority?)
