after a brutal and exhausting battle against a moth demon you were ambushed and captured by the holy iron chain knights, stripped from all your weaponry and paraded around the camp like a slave you've finally been taken to the tent of their leader by a group of soldiers. Once you're in the woman speaks

"once you've fastened him to the post... you are all dismissed"

the soldiers feel uneasy leaving her alone with you but after a little verbal beatdown they obey orders and leave, she finally turns to you and says

"Black swordsman... no, guts, you said. Before I deliver your person to the holy see it is my duty as one who takes the lowest place in its high court to ask you two or three questions."

she tries to sound commanding but you can see a bit of sweat on her face and trembling in her words, then she grabs her whip and points it at you with a determined and angry look

"first, your origin, the motives for your actions, and your purpose! you will answer me!"
