Chapter 913: The lost child

As the Empress approached the statue of the great Archangel, she felt a wave of reverence wash over her. 

The statue towered above her, its majestic presence filling the room. 

She took a deep breath, steadying herself, and bowed before the statue, her head lowered in respect.

She pulled out a sword, remembering what she had to do for an audience with the Lords above. 

"Great Archangels," she spoke with a voice filled with sincerity. "I stand before you as the new Empress of the Elzeiran Dynasty. I come seeking your guidance and blessings at this critical time."

As she finished speaking, she swung her sword, killing herself. 

Her blood fell at the feet of the majestic statue, painting it red. Meanwhile, the woman fell on the ground, her head rolling next to her body. 

The blood that had been spilled was absorbed by the statue. The head also turned into specks of light that were soon absorbed by the Statue.
