Synopsis

Driven by a perceived divine calling, the Archbishop orchestrates a scheme to undermine the influence of Mikhail Walpurgis and discredit Kassandra’s prophecies. He spreads fabricated divine messages claiming Walpurgis is a threat and that the current Pope is corrupt. He also positions himself to manipulate the upcoming warrior selection, hoping to gain more power. The chapter also shows that other knights are beginning to doubt their own beliefs and seeking guidance.
