1004 Vice Leader 1 (2/2)
Although the master of craftsmanship intent was their very first Den Mother, this position had obviously been passed down many times. The voice currently sounding in the ears of the two young girls was the current Den Mother of the nunnery.
”Yes, a core disicple came earlier.” Mia answered in place of both of them.
”A core disciple?” The mind of the Den Mother immediately flew to one person. ”Was it Dyon Jafari?”
A major part of the reason the sisters immediately began by bewitching Dyon was exactly because of this information. Of course, they were aware that Dyon had become a core disciple. Normally, they only used their bewitching arts to hide their scars, but they took it a step further with Dyon, attempting to force him into telling the truth.
”We cannot confirm this, Den Mother. He or she was wearing a mask.” Bella interjected.
”A mask?” A slight rage vibrated along with the Den Mother's voice. ”Absolutely no regard for the rules! How dare you let him do as he please?!”
The shrill voice was like a thunder clap in the ears of the girls, causing them to immediately pale as a small stream of blood dripped from their cherry lips.
”Please rest your anger, Den Mother.” Mia replied quickly. ”If we insisted on him or her removing their mask, it wouldn't be in line with the core teachings of our Cathedral. It would do more harm than good. It would also prove that, in the case that he was in fact Dyon Jafari, that we were on guard against him, which is of no benefit to us.”
”Hmph. Spend more time training your younger sisters as opposed to fantasizing about nonsense. You two diseased sisters don't have much longer to live anyway, you might as well do some good before you go.” The Den Mother snorted, but she knew that Mia was correct. If Dyon had remained covert, and they learned of him through their channels of information, they could deal with him quietly. But, now that he had so publicly advertised himself, and even became a core disciple of their best sect in such overbearing fashion, it was impossible to deal with him as they pleased.
Plus, even if they exposed him as Dyon, it wasn't as though they could act against him right here. The twin sisters were far from strong enough to take on Dyon alone.
After this exchange, the Den Mother left the two girls with a cold sweat down their alluring backs. They didn't even dare to be angered…
However, it wouldn't be long after this that The Cathedral received reports that Dyon had in fact entered Cathedral City, but had left through teleportation station many hours before this mysterious masked core disciple ever stepped foot into The Cathedral.
For reasons even they didn't understand, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't like the idea of the person they so closely identified with also wanting to destroy the place they called home, it was too conflicting…
