None of the servants who had been cleansed showed signs of being compromised, which Erik immediately denied as a possibility.

The priest was skeptical too, as he had been informed of the attack on Erik's kingdom. He had even been allowed access to the nobles' homes that were massacred during the incident. The gore and blood were one of the reasons he took his new assignment seriously, as he knew an enemy capable of this wasn't good for their own kingdom.

Both the Priest and Erik stood stunned, looking at the servants. 

"I think I should try again," the priest said after a while.

Erik had a look of disappointment on his face "No need, trying a second time will just make us look like fools unable to accept the reality of the situation"

"But how do we find out who is the demon's spawns? I cannot let such an existence do whatever it wants to my people" the priest said, causing Erik to sneak a glance at him before looking away.
