>>5200233"Vlad! Where did you go? I could have sworn Jerome was taking care of him..." Serpico is heard rummaging through the tents to see if you were still around.
"V... Phantom! Show yourself!" Farnese thinks about calling you by your name, but quickly corrects herself after seeing Mozgus' look of disapproval by calling a demon lord by his true name.
"I'll let them find you on your own, you look too tired to run anyway." Azan patiently waits for the holy knights to come to his place so he can promptly point in the direction of the blankets.
"There you are! Who said you could come out of your cage, monster? I shall whip you and whoever is responsible for this!" Farnese is back on her zealous mode, aiming her whip at your face until her hand was caught by the grand priest himself, Mozgus.
"Hold still, Daughter of God. Before punishing the heretics, it is common courtesy to remind them of their cardinal sins. Take his belongings to me. I will personally take care of his trial. Please focus on the task at hand." Mozgus' hand bleeds after blocking her blow.
"But I... He..." Farnese has mixed feelings about letting you go now that you opened her mind to different possibilities, but still stayed silent in order to comply with her master.
"You shall see him again in the tower, where you will guide all the others to in the following days." The square faced inquisitor finishes his explanation and turns over to meet his most curious subject yet.
"I have heard about your family before, Vlad Of The Santana Estate. Your father was a great contributor to our crusades, as was his father and his past ancestors. Without his generous offerings, plenty would not be here today persecuting the heretics." Mozgus reminds you that if you weren't adopted and treated like a cursed child, this is probably were you would have ended up on, right next to Farnese as a Holy Iron Chain Knight. Either licking her boots and hoping to get her approval like Serpico, or turning into a jaded non believer that did whatever he liked to in his offtime like Jerome.
"So why? Why hast thou resorted to heresy, lost brother of mine? Faking your death to the King to fix the swamp was something only a saint should be capable of, yet despite embarking on such a dangerous mission and even killing The Silver Eyed, you have learnt her magic and used it to help the agent of darkness. For every sin you have committed, an equal virtue was created."
"Your drive is admirable, but a sin is still a sin. What do you have to say in your defense?"
>The plague is nearly over thanks to me.>I am not a sinner, my powers are pure and only used for good.>There is great danger lurking in this area, you need my help.>Where were your praises when my family was being persecuted?>Farnese and Serpico can attest to my good character.>Run away.>Write-in.
