Chapter 301:
“The performance of Ciero’s Dawn Army has been utterly disappointing.”
“……”
Pope Horma Kmuel glared at Cardinal Rohen Otter with a displeased expression. Beside him, newly appointed Cardinal Amila Endec clung close, openly displaying his allegiance.
Juan had been absent from meetings for weeks, using a medical leave as an excuse, but no one paid attention. After all, the Codex of Light Church was merely a puppet of the Watcher’s Council, so it hardly mattered whose side you were on. Even the Pope was no more than a mere accessory to the Council’s will.
Previously, they had at least maintained a facade of respect, but now it seemed they no longer bothered.
“I had hoped that Ciero’s momentum suggested the potential of a ‘false prophet,’ but at this rate, even naming him would be an embarrassment. We’d better incorporate them into the main Dawn Army before they collapse.”
“…Weren’t you the one who proposed using Ciero?”
The Pope finally lost his composure and snapped. Rohen smirked in response.
“I’m willing to use anything for the Codex of Light.”
