The City Lord, clad only in a robe, stumbled and crawled towards the city wall, accidentally colliding with the similarly robed bishop of The Radiant Cathedral.
The two almost tumbled down the stone stairs together.
Recognizing each other as the City Lord (bishop), they swallowed the curses that had almost slipped out.
"What's going on?! Why is The Coldcrest Knights here in the middle of the night?? Why did you provoke that calamity?!" the bishop asked irritably.
The City Lord was almost in tears, "I-I-I-I-I didn't!"
Then he said something that instantly assuaged the bishop's doubts, "Would I dare?"
Bishop: "..."
Both took a deep breath simultaneously, supporting each other as they climbed up the city wall.
They cautiously poked their heads out, looking down.
Below, they saw a mass of Dark Secret Silver Armor.
They immediately pulled their heads back, and the bishop closed his eyes in despair.
