The assassins crossed the bridge and entered one after another through the back gate that had been left open. Jan tilted his head slightly at the state of the back gate, which was different from last time, but assumed they were planning renovations for security and simply watched over his gathering companions without thinking much of it.

Edward was tormented by Sylvia’s voice, calling his name in tears. The effects of Domination and Contract were no mere illusion; he could hear her no matter how far away he was.

At some point, he must have wished for this. He wanted to take control to protect Sylvia from all sins. But when it actually happened, all that remained was a man struggling to handle a crying child. Seeing Calogero’s distress, one of the maids stepped forward and picked up…

“Edward, I need to talk to you.” When Calogero called out to him, Edward considered ignoring it but slowly turned around. “…As you know, the recent bandit attack has kept me extremely busy. After all, I am the only one left who can fight.” Edward wanted to curse him. The bandits were assassins from a neighboring country, targeting Calogero.

Edward carried Gina to the bed and, in order to treat her, stripped off her clothes… or rather, tore them apart. He thought to himself that if Gina later demanded he take responsibility, he would accept it without complaint. Sylvia had just woken up, but upon seeing Gina’s dire state, tears welled up in her eyes, and soon she was crying aloud. Edward wanted to comfort her, but there was no time for that. Hearing the commotion, the servants rushed in, and Edward quickly gave them…

The relentless attacks were slowing down, and Calogero’s magic was holding on, though just barely. However, he could only cast a few more Barrier before his strength ran out. Watching Gina anxiously, Calogero had no idea what to do. Why had she appeared here? Why had she come to his aid? -No, with all the commotion earlier, Gina had likely entrusted Sylvia to Edward and come to check on the situation. Upon finding Calogero under attack, she must have decided to intervene, or so he…

From the bridge connected to the rear gate of the fortress, they infiltrated one after another. Along the way, they split into two groups, with some heading in a different direction. As they were guided forward, they discovered a servant’s entrance. “-So there was another entrance here. We didn’t have to force our way through the other one.” “There was no choice. We have…

The High Priest was at his wit’s end. Because of his own skills, Calogero had become devoted to the sinless Lord of the castle. Although still young, to be sinless suggested she had been kept sheltered, or perhaps… She was incapable of perceiving guilt. Through conversations with Calogero, this had become clear: If the person recognized something as a sin, then it became sin. Thus, if they did not perceive it as something bad, it did not become sin. A young child learned this by being…
