167 090. The Inquisition of the Seventh Imperial Prince -1 (Part One)

**

It was late at night. I had an audience with the Holy Emperor and he told me all about the Church of Caiolium.

Not only did this religious order desire to be fully independent of the imperial court, it was also the hidden backer of Third Imperial Prince Ruppel as well.

After giving custody of the Second Imperial Prince to the emperor, he informed me about the fate regarding Ruppel and White. While the latter was placed under 'house arrest', the former was currently locked away in the underground prison.

This discussion of ours took place three days ago.

And now, I was currently walking along the imperial palace's corridors.

Whenever servants and maids ran into me, they jumped up in surprise before hurriedly bowing their heads. It seemed that all of them were frightened of me.

'Isn't that obvious, though?'
