A Bad Day(1)
Jade was pissed.
As a member of the bishop's own guard, she had expected a life filled with privilege and safety.
That was counterintuitive, but until the present bishop had come along, that was exactly how it had been for this very prestigious post.
For as long as anyone could remember, bishops had always been extremely pious individuals who were focused on staying inside the sect and converting as many people as possible. They might undertake missions, but these were often of the sort where they would send out their guards to poor places where people could be recruited for the holy cause of the sect.
That was it. But because it was such an important role, the resources that could be accessed by one who managed to get it were unthinkable for anyone who was merely a priest, or climbing the ladder to get somewhere they wanted to be.
And on the Mainland… Everyone knew that resources made the difference between almost endless life and an early death.
