Subtle Development

In the end, I was unable to convince Leona to get tied to the cross again…

Cough, this wasn't because I was suddenly going easy on her because she was a woman. It was rather that using her as bait to lure out Karwenz was highly unlikely to succeed now that the trap had already been exposed.

With what Shirvan's church just did, even an idiot would know that there was a trap here now. I had also shown up here with my real appearance, so Karwenz would naturally know that I was here.

In that case, he definitely wouldn't come here unless he was willing to see me.

Recently, I had made it obvious that I was looking for him, yet he still hadn't appeared… Someone like him could actually wait instead of bragging in front of me? That seemed not to match his style at all.

Since this wasn't his style, then what "noble purpose" could possibly cause him to suppress his very nature and hide from me instead? This caused me to worry even more.
