Lafrenia

The sudden monologue of Miroluba Tabemyslovna caught the soldiers off guard, visibly disconcerting them. First, they were saddened by the realization that there were indeed people in this cave, and therefore, demons, whom she was trying to protect with her speech. It seemed that they themselves were not entirely convinced of the righteousness of their cause. If not against demons, they were at least not eager to use violence against other people. However, the voice of the cardinal, clad in armor, snapped them out of their stupor and restored the combat readiness of the squad. “You speak well, young lady. Very well, but it’s all empty words… The Oranian Church has already shown weakness, and look what it has brought this continent to, blessed Lafrenia? The Apostates of the Seven, consumed by their pride, greed, gluttony, envy, anger, lust, and despair, led its people down the path of sin… Abelia will never forget this, and our underwater mother will never forgive it! The purity of our souls is more important than the integrity of our flesh, and we would not be devout followers of Dante if we did not cure our world of the symptoms of the great disease that has enveloped it. I implore you, young lady, reconsider and go home. Find a good husband, have children, and live a happy life; this is not your fight.”
