Chapter 87: She Was Our Enemy
A few minutes later, Leon led Weiss into the reception room.
“Please have a seat, Bishop.” Leon invited Weiss to sit before walking toward the tea cabinet.
“I’ll make some tea for you.”
“No need. Let’s save some time.” Weiss stopped Leon, pointing to another chair by the tea table to signal for him to sit down.
“Alright.” Leon turned back and carefully took his seat.
“Regarding the criminal’s situation, could you explain it to me in detail? Why are you so insistent on not transferring the criminal to Saint Rosalia Prison?” Weiss asked Leon.
“Bishop Weiss—” Leon spoke while thinking through a suitable excuse.
“You should have already seen the case file and gained a certain understanding of the criminal’s situation. I believe you already know this: the criminal has a daughter. The reason she was forced by the underworld to become a witch and refine mana for them was because her family owed a huge sum of money. She did it to prevent her daughter from bearing that debt.”
“I know. Her daughter should already be in the local reformatory now.” Bishop Weiss nodded.
