Chapter 150: Fenrir and Snow White
“You, search over there!”
At the mouth of the alley, Bishop Beckett directed the knights to split up and search through the neighborhood. Then he glanced toward another squad of knights rushing past the distant intersection—that was the group dispatched by Cardinal Zeven.
The objective of deliberately letting Weiss escape and expanding the impact had already been fully achieved.
Weiss had been fleeing everywhere in order to suppress her blood craving and murderous impulses, which also meant that the number of witnesses continued to increase.
Cardinal Zeven wanted to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, but the first step was to find Weiss, who was running loose within the diocese. To do so, he had no choice but to ring the alarm bell and impose martial law across the diocese, sending knights everywhere to search. In that case, the spread of the incident across the entire major diocese became inevitable.

When something like this happened, anyone with a little brainpower could understand that even if Weiss were a Witch—even if she were temporarily assumed to be a heretic who had infiltrated the Church—after finally climbing to such a position, how could she possibly self-destruct in such a meaningless manner at an event like this?
But in the eyes of ordinary civilians who knew nothing about transcendent powers, Weiss displaying the form of a Witch in front of countless witnesses made her, without question, the perpetrator of a terrifying incident—the culprit responsible for the casualties among innocent civilians present.
And even if the upper ranks of the Church knew Weiss had been framed, they would still have to give the public an explanation.
