A calm voice interjected amidst the stunned crowd
“The Canon of Seven Evils?”
It was a fa to look at the person who just walked into the room
“Ah…”
Large well-built body, gentle appearance like a grandela of ht now
“Prioress”
The nearby nuns bowed to greet her I actually felt rather light-hearted to see her We cooperated closely to fight against the demon lords in the past
We grew especially closer after Walpurgis’ death She was a precious coure The loss of soe to us
“I’ve read it before I can definitely help”
I hoped Angela would take er
“My! Who is this ruffian? The Canon of Seven Evil? That book is a myth”
All the nuns jolted a little at Angela’s rebuke
“The Abbess is ill! Is this really an appropriate tiue with a mere mercenary?”
“No, Prioress”
“Remove hiuest of Sister Walpurgis; but, all of you should have stopped hi into the inner sanctum at the very least! I said at once!”
Angela’s stinging disapproval concluded the situation in an instant I was irabbed me to escort me out
“We will not punish you for this, but know your place and spend the rest of your time here quietly This Convent is under crisis”
I was curious even as I was being pushed out Angela in my memory was a calm and wise person She was not so the Canon of Seven Evils
Then she kicksall of a sudden?
It was strange…
“The Canon of Seven Evils! My, what is this world coe in such fairy tales”
Some even ht I was telling the truth bowed to Angela in repentance
“Our apologies, Prioress Our faith was lacking”
In mere moments, I was pushed completely from their interest Even if I had to leave the convent, I really needed to prove ela’s She was trying to tellwith her composed look
Things weren’t all that is
followed We walked down a silent hallway devoid of people
“I aainst the idea”
Walpurgis apologized to me profusely It was quite clear she felt disappointed about the situation
“Valler, you tried so hard to prove to the the Darkness… You would have been a great help to the Abbess…”
“I don’t think you should feel so bad about it”
“Hmm?”
I pointed to ahead ofthere She et ahead of us
“Please, follow me, Mr Valler”
I understood how the situation was playing out now This elder was probably sent by Angela to guide us to where we could meet secretly As expected, ere led to a hidden area
“Please wait here She will arrive shortly If you will excuse me”
Angela arrived rather quickly
“Prioress!”
Walpurgis went and hugged her like a small child
“My, what an energetic young lady You can take off your ar me with your armour still on”
“I understand”
Walpurgis looked like her obedient daughter I finally understood why she liked the Order so much Other nuns filled in the place of the parents she lost at such an early age and siblings she never had
“Mr Valler, I aela”
Her courteous greeting was just as I reela I also took off reet her
“I’m Valler from Spandau”
“I heard that you saved Walpurgis I extendthe situation”
“No, I survived thanks to her I only returned the favour”
“You are a is vouched for you”
Everything from before was an act She seemed quite friendly to me just by the fact I had saved her The conversation flowed favourably due to that However, she skipped right to the point as the Abbess was not faring too well
“Mr Valler, you have read the Canon of Seven Evils?”
“Yes, with my own eyes”
Angela nodded when I confirmed it
“Goodness… My, such a thing For a legendary relic to exist”
“Do you believe me?”
“Honestly, I find it difficult to However, there is no reason to suspect you would be lying either That is why I prepared this ”
She was thorough yet logical as ever She was the kind of person you’d prefer to ith than others
“And it is for your safety as well, Mr Valler Itabout the Canon of Seven Evils publicly is dangerous We also do not know if there are other traitors in the Order as well”
“I was short sighted”
If I saved the Abbess earlier in front of everybody, it was highly likely for Pejaive anyone who ruined his schemes Further that even demon lords coveted
He would torturefully what could happen She was indeed wise
“Thank you for your concerns”
“No, I cannot put soer Even if it is not about the Canon of Seven Evils, it will be best to keep the fact you tried to help the Abbess a secret You et”
The circle of grudge knew no end I didn’t even want to think about ould happen if dery with onise them
“Mr Valler, may I confirm you have indeed read the Canon of Seven Evils?”
It was only natural This was so entirely separate with how she valued my character
“Of course”
