We found the Black Mage Lilly

"We found the Black Mage Lilly" The boy blurbed it out "y-you ordered us to tell you at once, if we found..." You raise your hand, and he immediatelly falls quiet, kneeling and lowering his head. You ignore the warm liquid soaking your panties, an Empress shouldnt be seen as a common whore. "I am well aware of my commands, and I dont expect my envoys to lecture me on them. You did well to intrude on us" the Emperor coughed at the unnintentional pun "Where is she?"

Black Mage Lilly. You avoid glancing in the direction of the Emperor, sure that the memories would pain him. She was his first love, once a mere scribe, an assistant to the former Domini Ambassador. Bards still sing of Dhaos clumsy antempts to woe her, even to the point when he organized a great ball in her honor. But it is no comedy song, at this point the tale turns sour. It was in that very night, the night when Dhaos would propose her, that her heart turned dark. The songs tell how she treacherously summoned dozens of demons at the Capital of the Empire, pleading her body and soul for magick and eternal beauty. Her plan would have been completed with her beloved's sacrifice, and to date he still bears the scars to prove the truth.

Black Mage Lilly. One of the most dangerous Sorcerers to ever threaten the Empire; you swore to bring her to justice.

"She is gathering a dark conclave, training Black Mages to follow her rule. We found her in the Yrd village" Byrulon territory. Undoubtly she though herself safe under King Quinton's lecherous realm, it certainly had the largest army in all the Land. It didnt matter.

You acknowledged the messager's report, and he retreated. You already had the Emperor's permission, there was nothing else to be said.

"Wait" Dhaos voice sounded strange, weak. You didnt turn to see him."If possible... please spare her." You felt the words like a knife through your heart. No one should see you weak, no one. "She wont thank you for this, Emperor. But it shall be done."
