[An Unknown Base of the Church]
In a room that looked like a chamber taken from a prison, multiple people sat around a round table.
Every single one of them would be respected and admired in the real world.
Beings who ranked among the highest in the Church of all three Gods.
First was Zekiel Michael, the current Head of the Michael Family. His sharp golden eyes remained closed while he leaned back in his chair.
Beside him was Lady Seraphina Uriel, wearing a flowing gown that shimmered like sunlight.
And then Head Caldus Raguel, gaunt and stern, whose presence weighed down on the room much more heavily.
Along with them were two more, the Holy Lady Irisveil and her apprentice Helena.
And finally, on the other end of the table opposite Michael sat a woman with long golden hair streaked with platinum.
She had bright golden eyes that glowed without any sunlight.
Ashlyn held the staff in her hand tightly, with her gaze drifting downward.
