Chapter 58: The Interrogated Witch
Rena sat in front of the table, one hand cuffed in shackles, the other end locked to the table leg beneath the tabletop.
Two oil lamps were placed on the table, illuminating the cramped space.
Opposite her sat a masked Inquisitor, his entire body exuding a cold, oppressive aura.
“Rena Lothark?” the Inquisitor asked.
“Y-yes…” Rena replied uneasily.
“I won’t waste words. We already know that you are a Witch. According to Church regulations, you have committed the crime of heretical blasphemy. On top of that, you are also implicated in the large-scale production and sale of Mana, which is an aggravating circumstance. You may very well be sentenced to death.
“But if you cooperate now and truthfully confess all your crimes here, you still have a chance to receive lenient treatment. This is your only chance. Do you understand what I mean?”
The Inquisitor tapped the table lightly with his knuckles.
“I-I’m not a Witch!!” Rena shook her head with an innocent look.
