Chapter 49: No Healing Factor?

"This doesn't make sense. If our queen is the leader of the Red Cloud Theocracy? Why did we go to war with them 12 years ago then?" Crossing the sky on Nagini's back, Mithras' group recalled the previous events. Honoria was especially confused, unable to comprehend how Elektra had obtained such powers and authority over the Red Cloud Theocracy. 

"After Lyssandra's death, Elektra and I have been on awful terms so I'm not privy to the details, but from what I've gathered, she temporarily lost control of Gaiseric," while holding Mithras' wrists and checking the state of his arms, Cassandra ventured a guess. 

Cassandra wasn't the only one to be in the dark. Even Vel'Asha, who had many dealings and arrangements with Elektra. had no idea the queen controlled the Red Cloud Theocracy, seeing her as an ascetic more than a politician. 

Elektra would have liked to keep that fact secret for a bit longer, but due to Mithras' recent successes, she had to reveal herself.
