"A blessing upon all of you!" The Pontiff exited out of a carriage with the shock of all present, managing to silence even the two opposed nobles that dared to speak up.
Law had no business intervening in the chaotic world of monsters and deities.
Though Griffith made sure to bow in presence of the cardinal, The Pontiff himself fully prostrated to the floor at the mere sight of the Falcon Of Light. Such actions would speak louder than whatever Midland offers could say to sway their biases to align with the other countries.
"Hear me now, children of god. A divine revelation has been given. The Falcon of light you see here is our true savior!"
As they were all reminded of the hopeful dream of the Falcon, Midland cheered as all doubt was implicitly cleared upon Griffith, while the remaining immigrants and visitors wondered why he needed no trial for his accusations.

"I do not understand, did you not harbor resentment against Vlad?"
"Not more than I do for injustice. Or my own work, if the recent events are anything to prove me. Do you believe we would have more added weight if we joined Ilos to look for more Iron Chain Knights? Maybe Jerome would be a valuable witness."
Azan merely shook his head in silence, confirming his death.

Stanley could not measure the extent of Griffith's knowledge, but he knew a man such as he would not show himself after doing what he did unless he was insane, or very calculative in his measures.
Femto himself was capable of undoing all the damage caused by Barnham, Vlad and Guts with the swipe of a hand. Nothing in his plans were altered to the point of worry. Much like Ganishka's grow, the magicians needed to have a beacon of light for themselves, only to be obscured by the true Falcon.
Should they ever prove to be too bothersome, Griffith knew of one he could target to completely demolish the astral creature's morale.
For one who sacrificed himself for the sake of others, isolation was the way too make him as weak as he was when he came onto this world.
