81 Chapter 81: Trust

Jorael and his companions were left completely dumbfounded by the Grand Inquisitor's sudden request, and they sought the words with which to reply as the tension in the air was palpable.

"How can we trust the word of a man who just killed his subordinate in cold blood without even batting an eye?" Jorael asked incredulously, staring at the bloody corpse of Gunther at the foot of the statue of the Fallen Goddess Kalipso.

"He was just a naive tool and a perilous madman.

Yet, he needed to be stopped.

I used him on purpose because I couldn't have used anyone else, nor I could have trusted anyone.

This by the way wasn't the official plan, and I'm risking it all to be here." Thomas explained as he looked a bit stressed out.

Jorael remembered Inquisitor Rouel's last words and began to give some credibility to the Grand Inquisitor's words, however remaining doubtful and composed.
