The Priests, loyal to the Priestess to a fault, didn't hesitate. Their gaze burned with righteous fury as they glared at the Holy Emperor. They haven't forgotten the sufferings they went through after they lost their powers.
The Holy Emperor had ordered their arrest and everything that they owned was taken by the Empire. They had not only lost all the wealth that they had accumulated, but even their titles and influence was snatched away.
They were treated like criminals, even worse than mortals. As people who had lived in glory after being selected as the Priests, this brought endless shame to them.
They had never thought that they would get an opportunity to have revenge on the Empire. It was all because of the new Priestess that they had managed to not only recover their powers but also grow stronger.
