Sophia stood by the window, gazing at the beautiful scenery of the Elf City, lost in thought.

She always believed that the church was just and sacred, and the empire was prosperous and strong.
The books described it this way, the nobles in Zelolan Castle praised it like this, and she herself took pride in it and set it as the goal for her future endeavors.
