Prologue
“William Henry Howard. Pleased to meet you.”
“Ah.”
Before me stood a woman priestess who looked to be of quite high status, and two knights clad in armor.
Without warning, they entered my room and stared at me with cold eyes.
“Pleased to meet you, um… may I ask what brings you here…?”
“There are many interesting rumors about you, so the Holy See has come to see you.”
The priestess slightly curled the corners of her lips into a gentle smile, but her eyes were not smiling at all—an unnatural expression.
“May we have a moment of your time?”
“If I say I don’t have any, will you just leave?”
“If you’re busy, we can specially make some time for you.”
As the priestess emphasized a particular word, the two knights standing behind her placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
“Looks like I’ll have some time after all…”
“Hehe, thank you for cooperating so willingly.”
…Damn it. I’m screwed.
