Pope Victorio was feeling uncomfortable. How had the Pope of the Valkyrie Temple over two thousand years ago failed to sense the presence of Lady Sophia?
If they had invited Lady Sophia back to Sacred Mountain in time, what would have been left for Lance to do?
What pained him most was the fact that Lady Sophia had died in the beast tide, and before her death... The person on her mind was that man named Lance.
She harbored fantasies towards Lance, believing that he would appear before her when her life was threatened... to rescue her.
But Lance, who had disappeared for a long time... failed to show up in time, and after Lady Sophia released a forbidden spell... she ultimately fell in battle.
Alas...
One couldn't blame the Pope from two thousand years ago, after all... who could have predicted that a Valkyrie, using the identity of Sophia while walking in the Human World, would be a gifted Frost Source Energy Mage...
