Nope, Experimentation Time

The Regent, formerly known far and wide as the Sun Mage, real name Elizabeth "Liza" Culday looks at herself in the mirror. She reaches a hand down to her stomach and rubs it gently, has she gained weight? Is she bigger? She tells herself quickly that she isn't pregnant, she just hasn't been able to exercise much while she was trapped in prison. She turns her attention away from the mirror and to the figure stuck down on the bed. The figure's name is Belleza, it means beauty and Liza thought she indeed lived up to the name.

Liza walks over and touches her hand to the woman's stomach, tracing the marking over her womb, it had taken her some time to figure out that it was some sort of parody of the Mark of Submission. Liza isn't a master of miracles or divine magic, she's the Sun Mage, the greatest sorceress of her age, "including that uppity cunt, Citrinas," she tells herself and then quickly shakes her head clearing it of her jealous thoughts. She enlisted the help of some priests to try and experiment. Their primary goal was to remove the mark.

She had assumed the woman on the table in front of her was one of those darkies, but it didn't make much sense for her own allies to mark her if that was the case. She wonders what kind of knowledge she can gain from this strange woman if the mark is removed. She snaps her fingers, "alright! You lot ready?" she asks the attending priests and they all nod. She smiles as they begin working. She isn't much use directly considering her lack of knowledge of divine magic, so instead she works as a conduit, empowering the priest's divine magic with her overwhelming power.

As they work she watches the woman on the table writhe, the mark glowing as it seems to try and protect itself, she enjoys the way the attractive woman squirms and wriggles in her binds, but her thoughts drift, remembering how she herself squirmed and wriggled as she was taken by the monster. She had been respected once... The Sun Mage! Even after The Hero chose Citrinas over her, she had been appointed Regent of an entire city and then... then that bastard came. He humiliated her, the first defeat she'd ever suffered in combat and worse than that. He defiled her. Not just physically, but her reputation as well. In the past people would bow in her presence, now all they do is stare at her stomach, she hears them whisper about her. Words like, seed bed, breeding sow and the like. She's not pregnant... She's definitely not pregnant, but still they all believe that she is and... sometimes she believes it hersel- "No! She's not pregnant!" she screams in her mind

"Ah... Liza! Your power just spiked... please stay focused!" one of the priests chastises her and she apologizes meekly, getting her power back under control. She also remembered When her own friend Olivia had attacked her. The feeling of betrayal, she had played it off when Doom appeared, but Olivia and her had been friends once and he had done something to her. That he had Marked her as well was Liza's bet and maybe if she figured out how to remove the mark from Belleza. in the future she could have her friend back.

She focuses on that thought, on freeing Olivia as she watches the priests work.
