There , the church or the nuns

Isabella could not think of any reasons for the nuns to make up an order, since they were abandoned and discarded Judging from their pale, eht of starvation would kill the to do by recalling all the for the Cloud Ladder and the Old Holy City unguarded?

Trying to set aside her speculation, Isabella looked at the leading nun and asked, "What should I call you?"

"I aht of getting out of here?"

"What, why?" The nun seemed surprised

"Granted that the walls are high and the gate is thick, they're not ih for all of you to make a wooden ladder or stack the firewood at the bottoate to burn the planks and et yourself out of here," Isabella said confused whilst trying to ascertain the validity of the situation "Since you could send a representative to report to Herether? With the food supplies severed, you're facing a certain death even without the ar moment to come back froo if we leave here?"

All the residents of the cloister lowered their heads at the question

"I've never left the cloister"

"Nor have I"

"Although there's notto eat I don't think the outside world would be better" So for food, then our lives will revert back to the one we used to have"

As Isabella thought of this, she weaved an idea in her head "I' Listen carefully!"

All of theed," Isabella said loudly "Mayne was no real pope He not only betrayed Lord O'Brien but also stole the throne! In fact, there was another successor to whom Lord O'Brien meant to pass his power"

The words were like a stone that created numerous ripples as it was tossed into the water The listeners burst into an uproar

"The successor was his first Pure Witch, Zero," Isabella said She did not knohat His Majesty would think of those words, but since she started off, she would do her best "Graycastle isn't our enemy Instead, in order to defend the real enemy, Lord O'Brien even hope to ally the church with Graycastle"
