Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The moonlight shone in from the window, and the bright moonlight was as clean as snow. The residential area of ​​the Governor's Mansion was very high, high enough to penetrate the haze and clouds of the factory.

The faint moonlight sprinkled on the head of the bed and shone on the gray-green curly long hair. Her face was sleeping quietly like a picture, and her shoulders rose and fell from time to time with her light breathing.

Vito sat up on the bed beside her. He looked at Olivia's sleeping face, then quietly got out of bed, put on his pants, put on his clothes, and walked out of the door quietly.

He didn't wake her up. After the door opened silently, he came to the corridor with the moonlight, and then raised his hand as if instinctively to catch something that was thrown.

He looked at the thing, "Back?"

The person he was asking was in the shadows, but soon walked into the moonlight. Her silver hair emitted silver light under the bright moon.

"Yes, if you want to ask, everything went well, no one found me."

"Not surprising, you didn't cause any trouble, right? I mean."

"Yes, no one died, just as you implied." Sarah said, leaning against the door, leaning against the porch and looking inside, "It seems that you had a good time while I was busy."

Vito remained silent, while Sarah laughed and moved her arms, "Don't worry, I'm not that petty, since we will have fun with others, then you have the right to do so."

"Does she still satisfy you?" She asked again with a challenging tone after a moment, but Vito did not answer. He closed the door silently, and then walked into the living room on the first floor with the camera in his hand.

Sarah shrugged and followed silently behind, her footsteps were so light that she seemed to be floating, her long silver hair swaying with the moonlight, and Vito spoke again after they arrived in the living room.

"I didn't ask you to do this, did I?" He said, sitting on the dim sofa, and the moonlight shining through the steel frame outside the tall floor-to-ceiling window beside him hit half of his body.

"But you want it, right? You don't trust me, so you need something more convincing, and it's better to see it with your own eyes."

"Sarah."

"Don't say such sensational words, you know I'm not interested, the facts are clear to you and me." She said nonchalantly, and then sat on another single sofa with her legs crossed, bathing in the moonlight.

"Okay, don't look at me with those eyes, open that thing and take a look." She said, "It saves me from narrating it again, it's very troublesome."

Vito did as he was told, he turned on the rear screen of the disguised camera to check it out, and everyone kept quiet while he was watching, the whole living room was silent, it seemed that even breathing had disappeared, only the low voice of conversation in the picture sounded from time to time.

He finished watching it quickly, then turned off the camera and threw it aside. "Their plan is good. In fact, I can't help but want to praise them."

"Tzeentch has come up with an interesting idea this time, using the Empire's method to deal with me. If I force it, I will confront Guilliman and Terra. If I don't solve it, I will have to bear the consequences."

"But this plan was exposed at the beginning. You sent two undercovers." Sarah said lightly.

"Tell me, does that chick know that you sent someone to monitor her?" She muttered, looking at her nails with nail polish.

"Is it the same when Lily and you are adventuring?"

"Don't you empathize with her?"

"Indeed, but Lily doesn't know if you also sent someone to follow her." Sarah said, "Just like you sent me to follow Petronilla."

The hall was quiet. He was silent for a while and then shook his head. "No, I didn't. Do you believe me?"

He answered calmly and simply. Sarah didn't look at him or speak. She just nodded silently after listening, and then leaned on the sofa and stretched out her arms.

"So what are you going to do? Kill them?" she asked.

"No, that would be too troublesome. Tzeentch hasn't finished this game yet. He will find new pieces to the table. I don't plan to guess what he is going to do again."

Vito picked up a pen while turning the table in his hand, "I plan to continue playing, let them put all the cards on the table, and then eat them all at once."

He continued, with his hands on his knees, "Besides, no matter what, Anthony was sent by Guilliman. If I want to kill him, I must have an absolutely suitable reason that he cannot refute, so as to avoid other people gossiping and giving Tzeentch more room to play."

"This way, Tzeentch can be quiet for a while. He will rethink how to calculate me. This will take a while, and I can also have a longer time without dealing with these troubles."

Sarah nodded and changed one leg to cross in front of her. The nun's combat uniform on her body fits her whole body, and under the slightly dim light, it looks like she is not wearing clothes.

"So what are you going to do? Wait and see?"

Vito leaned back on the sofa, the pen in his hand was as deft as a skinning knife, "Let them think they can win, put out the bait, let them eat it, and then eat the next one."

"Finally, at the right time and the right place, I will take the prey." He smiled, as if he was playing a joke on someone. Sarah glanced at him and then shrugged.

"It sounds interesting, so how are you going to make them take the bait? Use her as bait?" Sarah said, looking back at the bedroom door on the second floor.

Vito looked at the closed door and was silent for a moment. He clasped his hands in front of him, "I will arrange everything. She will be fine, but I will make them believe that everything is as they imagined."

Sarah shrugged slightly and lifted her long hair from the back of her head. The snow-white hair was flying in the moonlight, like a falling snowflake.

She sat on the sofa, her graceful body looking like the best dream. Vito looked at her in silence, and she also looked over. The two looked at each other and fell into a long silence.

The clock at midnight ticked, accompanied by the sound of the pendulum, and the footsteps of the guards of the Governor's Mansion in the distance gradually became clearer. In this silence, they sat looking at each other.

After a moment, Sarah stood up and said, "Go back, go back to your bed, just like she found you disappeared, but she won't be as generous as me."

After saying that, Sarah turned and left. Vito stood up unconsciously and looked at her, "Sarah."

He shouted, and she stopped. She listened carefully and then smiled in the moonlight, "Forget it. Anyway, you and I have nothing to say except business. You don't want to talk to me, right? Even when we go to bed, , you are silent."

He remained silent, as if Sarah expected, she shrugged and threw an Eldar Soul Stone to Vito, who also caught it.

"It's empty, take it and use it." After saying that, she walked into the shadows at the edge of the living room and disappeared without a trace, leaving only Vito standing alone in the living room.

He stood under the setting moon and saw the portrait of the emperor on the TV cabinet. He placed it there, staring at him wordlessly with his eyes.

"Shut up, I know."

After speaking, Vito picked up the camera on the sofa, walked up the stairs to the second floor, and walked on the creaky steps to the window where he left.

No one knew about the midnight conversation except the Emperor in the painting who witnessed it all.
