"I simply wanted to ask, perhaps, you knew what they were after. After all, you were way too calm earlier. I was watching from when the monsters came and there was no sign of surprise on your faces. You expected it," the Pope said without any sign of fear despite his words seeming to accuse them that the monster attack could have been their ploy, or they were involved in it.
Arabella pursed her lips. She didn't like how the Pope was already going to conclusions and accusing them like this. Moreover, if he saw the monsters right when they were summoned, couldn't he have sent out his magicians earlier?
If her husband and his knights, Rendell, Alwin, and Riley were not there, there could have been a lot of casualties.
Or did the Pope wait and see, to gauge their reaction?
