"Who... who's the Contessa?" you ask, in a mix of confusion and morbid curiosity.
"Contessa Amelia. She is the Matriarch of the Sisterhood of Divine Protection, the all-female guard designated by the Goddess's divine command to defend Antiuck against the Monstrous Tiranny of stinky-footed hordes. She was once a faithful servant of Our Lady, a wise councilor of the House of Nobles, a skilled general, and great leader of Men. She used to lead armies of thousands into battle against the Monster King's rising odds. Even as she was knee-deep in toejam, and she had a troll's foot shoved into her mouth, she would never give up!
And now, the Contessa would much rather medidate on theology from the comfort of Castle Violante, while, every day, hundreds of innocent people fall under the sway of the Monster King's soles! Everyone knows, but they're all afraid to say it: she has grown coward in her old age! Worse: she refuses to abdicate now that she has reached her 40th birthday, preventing the rise of a new Matriarch, and betraying the traditions that have guided the Sisterhood for the last two centuries!
Do you understand our grief now, stranger? While the Contessa is allowed to rule over the Daughters of Antiuck, the monster boys are free to infest these lands. But there are still those like me who are willing to push back. So, tell me: are you willing to push back?"
