"This palace isn't just for the emperor." Zara explains. "It's a huge complex, home to hundreds of functionaries, and all their staff. It's natural that there are places to go for entertainment." Horst chuckles. "I've been searching for those three for a while."
Alright, now to focus on the taxes issue. Between Aurelios, Lysandra and Isabella I think the good Bishop would be the easiest to deal with and persuade. Maybe I should use the chance to visit the religious distract and try to speak with her. After that... maybe Isabella? Previously I was thinking of starting with Aurelios, but maybe I should leave him for last... Eanne called over her butler and instructed him to discreetly find out where and when she could meet any members of Aurelios' crew – or Aurelios himself. After that she looked at Bec. “Time for a visit to the religious district, and you are coming with me. Bring along a few more guards, just in case, even though I do not expect any trouble.” She instructed.
Delphis nods, getting to work, while Bec stands and straps her sword to her belt. "About time." She cracks her neck, and then selects a few troops to join them. According to the data slate, Lysandra is in the Great Cathedral, where she watched the emperor's coronation not long ago.
'I see, so this is also a cultural site,' Xavier smiled, 'If I ever feel inspired to make my own play or film script, I'll be sure to consult with the both of you and hire you to assist me.'
The admiral nods, and has the comms officers send out their demand.
"It was our pleasure." Horst smiles. Zara nods. "Depends what your tastes are. There's a race about to start at the Hippodrome, if you're interested in racing. You should be able to make it without having to rush, though. I think there's a military parade, as well, if you're interested in that kind of thing. And of course, there's the Great Cathedral in the religious district, the largest in Terran space, besides the ones on Holy Terra that non-clergy can't go to, obviously. Oh, and there's a nice social club in the entertainment district that's also quite nice, I'll give you the address."
“Good morning to you as well. I was thinking of having a quick look around the Great Cathedral – it is very impressive.. and I would like to speak with Bishop Lysandra, if possible.” Eanne informed the young priest and gave him a friendly smile.Delphis nods, getting to work, while Bec stands and straps her sword to her belt. "About time." She cracks her neck, and then selects a few troops to join them. According to the data slate, Lysandra is in the Great Cathedral, where she watched the emperor's coronation not long ago.
Inside, a young priest greets her. "Good morning, my lady. How can we help you today?"
"You poor woman." Yannika muttered and then began to pray. "Goddess Jaya, keeper of the Sapphire Hearth, watch over this woman and lend her whatever strength she needs in her torment. By your grace, care, love, and protection will she endure and with her this world. Forgive me my sins of ignorance and grant me the wisdom to help her in this trial. In your name Great Mother."
"Ah, of course. The bishop mentioned that someone might be coming to see her. Follow me." He returns the smile and leads her into the private area of the cathedral. In front of a pair of double doors guarded by the massive figures in full body power armour, he explains the situation. "No weapons, no guards." One of the figures says.
The address takes him to the lively entertainment district, filled with people drinking, playing music and dancing. He finds the club in the more respectable side of the district.
Rhaiya shakes her head. "I'm not sure. I think he bought it from someone. Or they sold it to him. An off worlder. He seemed like a trader."
He raises his hand, and again Vizelle begins to squirt as every muscle in her body tenses up. "You're in my world, girl." With a flick of his fingers, she's raised into the air. "Why exactly do you want this?" He walks forwards, running a hand over her chest. "You think you can manipulate me if you seduce me?"
Yannika huffed in frustration. "You say she's aware of what's happening around her?" she knelt close to the priestess. "Sister Barra? I am Yannika of House Wulfkin, Lady of the Holy Mother Church, Sworn Sister of the Sect of the Sapphire Hearth, Church WHORE, and Envoy of the Emperor. I'm here to help you."
