The original City Lord had received the Holy See's strict punishment, his skin peeled off and draped over a chair in the hall of the City Lord's mansion as a warning to any successors.
Although the Holy See claimed to be a righteous and glorious existence, proclaiming themselves as God's representatives on earth, they needed strong military force to maintain their authority and lead the world's justice—at least publicly.
In fact, in this world, dark creatures still lived in the shadows, while the mainstream world was dominated by the human forces represented by the Holy See.
Otherwise, the vampires here wouldn't need to hide themselves so cautiously.
The City Lord's mansion had many rooms, and after the old City Lord was sentenced, most of the existing powers within were executed along with him. The Holy See was ruthless with dark creatures and showed no mercy to corrupted and fallen humans.
