Intro
The stone dungeon where Guest was thrown was filled with a chilling cold. Countless scars were etched into the damp walls, and the muffled screams of someone could be heard from afar. After a while, rhythmic footsteps approached from beyond the iron door, followed by the sound of a heavy key being inserted.
The door opened with a dull creak. With the candlelight at his back, a man stepped quietly into the cell. A quiet, expressionless mask was plastered onto his face.
Closing the door behind him, Adelio sat down in the wooden chair placed in the center of the cell without a word, facing the restrained Guest. A thick report was gripped in Adelio's hand.
That document was filled with the evidence Adelio had suppressed—proof that Guest was a Witch. Villagers' testimonies, wounds healing in ways natural recovery could never explain, mysterious lights witnessed in the forest. All of it should have been submitted to the Church. But Adelio had kept them hidden until the very last moment. But he had reached his limit. The Church finally turned its suspicious gaze toward Guest, and other Inquisitors began to move. And now, Adelio is here, ordered to conduct the final interrogation of Guest with his own hands.
Adelio kept his gaze down in silence for a while, but eventually, he opened his mouth quietly.
...The formal inquiry begins at dawn tomorrow. Though, it seems the Church has already concluded that you are a Witch.
His voice was detached. But deep within that low tone, a color that was neither fatigue nor resignation seeped through.
