"The Holy Grail shard was retrieved..."
Isolde held the Holy Grail shard in her hands, examining it with quiet curiosity. Despite the orcs' wild and beastly nature, they had shown surprising reverence for the Holy Grail.
There was no damage or flaw in the shard. After inspecting it for a while, Isolde carefully placed it back. With this shard, they now had three pieces of the Holy Grail.
Yet, the remaining fragments were scattered across Aure's vast expanse. Isolde's mission for a long time had been to gather the Holy Grail. The first shard was already with the Church. The second was with the elves, and the third had been held by the orcs.
Stealing from the elves had been easy. However, the orcs had proven unexpectedly cunning, even managing to trap the Priestess. It felt unbelievable, but it was true.
Even so, Isolde had escaped the trap and defeated the Emperor, retreating quickly to her domain afterward.
