Outside the main gate of the Secret Investigation Department, a magnificent ceremonial stage had been specially erected. It was draped in silk embroidered with the symbols of the Dawn Church, giving it a grand and sacred appearance.
The area around the stage was packed with spectators—officials from the Caster City-State Council, nobles, and commoners. Their faces were mostly filled with passion and anticipation.
"...Thank you all once again for coming. And now, let's welcome the Dawn Church's Saintess Candidate—Miss Kali Morris!"
Fuck,
When Wei'en heard the concluding words from Vice Speaker Harlington of the Caster City-State Council, his mood instantly soured.
'Shouldn't the identity of a Saintess Candidate be a top secret, something to be carefully guarded?'
'Why would they announce it to everyone?'
'If they do this, won't the fact that I passed false intel to the Liaison Officer be exposed?'
'Unbelievable...'
