Chapter 161: Sin and Punishment (1)

Guilty.
The patriarch of House Indulgentia, an affiliated family of the faithful Quovadis.
A faithful follower of the Rune religion, an ardent preacher, an honorary mayor of the Imperial family, and a benevolent orphanage director who lovingly cares for children with nowhere else to go.
