"Trap? What?" Vera looks even more confused. Heading again into Vera's mind, she finds that the nun still hasn't tried to resist, meaning that she quickly finds the blocked memories. Pressing forth, she manages to break through the psionic barricades, and suddenly she feels herself in Vera's body as she relives the memories.
"Damn you! You think I'll betray my order? I'd rather die, whore!" Vera's voice cries out loudly. It takes Elena a second to get used to the first person view, but soon enough, she acclimatises. Looking around, she sees that the memory is taking place in the Imperial Palace of Constantinopolis Secondus. Elena feels phantom pain, as Vera tries to bite her own tongue and die rather than continue to be a captive. "Damn it, stop her!" A female voice calls out, and two imperial guardsmen grab Vera and stop her from killing herself. "Nice try." The female voice chuckles. "No, I don't think you'll betray the order. Not willingly, at least. Don't worry about a thing, you won't remember it, dear." The source of the voice walks in front of Vera, and Elena sees that it's Ingrid, the emperor's personal confessor.
"Nothing personal, of course. It's just that your mistress is in danger of getting between me and his majesty. She has to be...removed. Her, and the other priestess on the council." She puts a hand on Vera's head. "Like I said, don't feel bad. Even after you've sent your sister superior to her death, you won't have any idea that
you were the traitor." She grins, as her hand begins to glow.
Elena's mind kicks her out of the memory after that. What follows is an incredibly painful psionic brainwashing, which Elena's subconscious has no desire whatsoever to endure.
