The Trump Card

On their way to back to Descovick's Palace, Anastasia use the opportunity to feed Loren valuable information on her side, especially the defeat of Vasil and his legions of weak-blooded vampires, her decision to cast him out to assist Yori--their valuable soon-to-be trump card, Sachiel and what she have gained from the Celestial and an inevitable attack from the Holy Church.

Loren stopped advancing on their way back when he heard all of it. His face is full of anxiety and as if hope is nowhere to be found from all of this.
