There was no need to sneak into the dungeon because they brought Liberto out just then. She was sure that man selected for the execution was the one that stood next to him, whispering to him.
The Priest frowned when he saw her, but Cheng Xiu ignored him. She was sure that he was also a lackey of the Emperor. There was no way that she was going to talk to him in front of him.
"I need to speak with you," She said to Liberto.
"Miss-"
Cheng Xiu raised her hand to stop the priest from talking. She gave him a side-eye. "Don't you have a ritual to prepare for?"
The priest gave her a considering look. "I am assigned to look after the Lord."
Cheng Xiu snorted. "Calling him Lord in one tongue and raising your hands to kill him, the Godly Realm is very good!"
The man seemed to get what she was doing. "Are you try-"
"Leave," Liberto said, his voice carrying a graveness that forced them both to look at him.
