Chapter 371: Gift from Eren

Cardinal Treniel stopped outside the door of the Priestess' Temple. He knocked on the door and silently waited for a response.

"Speak." After a few seconds had passed, a voice came from the other side of the door.

The Cardinal confessed everything to the Priestess, including his failure. He set aside the Minister of War and knelt down after completing his explanation, as if he were a sinner.

"It was an oversight from me. Please punish me."

The door of the sacred room slowly creaked open. Though the Cardinal was right there, he was unable to see inside the chamber.

As soon as the door opened, a blinding light erupted from within, forcing the Cardinal to close his eyes. Even with his eyes closed, the sheer intensity of the light was almost overwhelming, strong enough to make an ordinary person go blind.
