"Xavia got what? Show the letter to me." Lady Aurora took the letter and read it in a low voice. 

"Big brother, this is Raven Maxwell, Gabriel's sister. I work as Mother Xavia's assistant. I am writing this to you because Mother Xavia refuses to, for she fears it would worry you too much. Two days ago, when we had gone to the villages near the Holy Land's border to oversee the free health camps, two men attacked her and stabbed a small dagger in her neck while shouting—Death to God's Favoured. Thankfully, Sir Zeke was the guard and protected Mother Xavia, killing the two attackers in a tough battle. 

"Mother Xavia is out of danger, and you need not worry. She has received the best medical aid and is conscious, but her voice has temporarily suffered. The two attackers were men from Clergy as well. They were Archpriests—Jeffery Rivers and Harold Bloom. I just thought you would like to know the names—as you'd know best what to do with the information.
