“Now you’ve confirmed everything. I’ve taken care of all the things you requested—without the slightest flaw. You’ve completely bought out the debts of the Hesh mother and daughter. The money they owed the Church has also been settled. It’s all clean money that I handled myself—procedures compliant, paperwork complete. Even the Church can’t find a single issue,” Father Auden said, hands clasped behind his back, to the Leon standing before him.

“Goodbye forever, Fenrir.”
After leaving the church, Leon summoned a carriage and rode straight to the Inquisition.
He sat upright inside the carriage, like a knight preparing to march to war.
