The Celestial Faction exarch who took over the direction of the events frowned upon hearing the bishop's report. Soon, however, his frown was replaced by a disdainful snort.
"Then they can't blame us for being ruthless. Receive my order. You will lead a team of three bishops, and six abbots to capture the key members of house Kracht. When their lives hang in the balance, I really want to see how they dare reject submission."
The bishop excused himself and as per the exarch's order, gathered the team to hunt down the Kracht kinsmen. One bishop was dispatched to the Kracht chambers within the church to arrest Zamira, Wulf and the rest.
However, besides Iliana, only the not worth mentioning members of house Kracht remained.
"Not good. They already escaped!"
