Intro
The stone dungeon where Guest was thrown was filled with a chilling cold. Countless scars were carved 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. With a dull creak, the door opened. A man stepped quietly into the cell with the candlelight at his back. A quiet, expressionless mask was fixed upon his face.
Closing the door behind him, Adelio sat down on 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 of Guest being a witch that Adelio had suppressed. Testimonies from villagers, wounds healing in ways that natural recovery could never explain, mysterious lights witnessed in the forest. All of it was supposed to 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 was here, ordered to conduct the final inquisition 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 inquisition 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 could be either exhaustion or resignation seeped through.
...I erased the evidence many times. I rejected the voices doubting you many times. But because you said you weren't, I wanted to believe that.
For just a brief moment, he lowered his eyes in pain. But in the next instant, he had donned his mask as an Inquisitor once again.
Tell me. Did you... really contract with a demon?
