His death not only removed the Church Court's last opposing faction for Carlo but also provided a perfect reason to launch a holy war. It incidentally tarnished Ave-Margaret and the empire's reputation, putting them at a significant disadvantage in public opinion before the war commenced.
This inevitably led Veronica to recall another strange event.
Similarly opposing the war against the empire was the Spirit Communication Sect's leader "Spirit Mother" Yayouma. On the day Carlo publicly declared war, someone in the Church Court witnessed Yayouma aggressively confronting Carlo at the Dawn Cathedral entrance.
What happened later was known to everyone.
Carlo used a miracle to heal Yayouma's eyes, which had been blind for many years, and Yayouma changed her stance, becoming a supporter of the war.
Yet, there were still some peculiarities.
When Yayouma left, her two followers did not come out with her, and after so many days, those two have never been seen again.
