Imprisoned Pope

Bg194
Dias
Dias
Pope Aimerlin...!? That's stupid. If that's true...

Why are you imprisoned in a place like this?
Anym
Anym
I believe I told you that it was for the crime of aiding and abetting the escape of the great sinner, Lord Commander Basheeny.
Dias
Dias
Does that mean the Pope hasn't been replaced since then?
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
Correct... It is customary for successive generations of popes to take the name "Aimerlin," but from that time on, it is undoubtedly me who has been calling himself Pope.

Welcome, Dias Elysion. We welcome you... although that's not possible in a place like this.

Will you listen to me?
Dias
Dias
What on earth is going on...?
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
It's a long, long story, but the only way to get people to understand my purpose is to listen to it.

I think that is necessary in order to fulfill your purpose. What do you think?
Dias
Dias
Is Anym really your maid?
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
In place of me who can't move, she delivers various information to me... That's the kind of person she is.
Anym
Anym
Now you understand that I'm not lying.
Dias
Dias
I see... Did you really assist Lord Commander Basheeny in his escape?
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
Otherwise, there might have been other ways than being imprisoned.
Dias
Dias
But... Even if that were true, to think that the Pope would be imprisoned like this... That someone would rescue you from here...!
Anym
Anym
No. The purpose of the 13th and later Lord Commanders and the Corpse is...

It means taking control of the Pope and turning him into a puppet.

Even if they were to be rescued, the Lord Commander still has a replica of Excalibur...

Let's make it obvious which side has justice.
Dias
Dias
Because there's no way to prove it's fake...
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
That's right. Moreover, even though the great sinner was allowed to escape, Excalibur, the symbol of absolute justice, was able to be recaptured...

That's the kind of story that people want. We shouldn't lose symbols... like this...

Before we knew it, absolute justice went into hiding, and the intentions of a few people covered the continent.
Dias
Dias
Why did you assist him in escaping? There must be a reason why someone like you would do something like that... and...

If you only look at his actions, isn't Lord Commander Basheeny a great sinner?
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
Hmm... If you only look at behavior, I guess so.
Dias
Dias
Avis said that Lord Commander Basheeny's actions were the "biggest stain" on the Holy Guard.

But if that's what that guy says, I think there might be something behind it... That's why I don't trust him.
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
Hmm, how is that possible?
Dias
Dias
It's not like there's anything specific, but... There's something incredible hidden behind the words that man speaks...

I can't help but feel like that.
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
Hmm, Anym, you brought in some good people.
Anym
Anym
Thank you for your kind words.
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
I feel the same way as you. I don't think the word "salvation" that Avis speaks of means exactly what it says.

Besides... Waginau, who has control over the Corpse, and Avis are colluding to push something forward...

I can even sense a hint of that from Anym's report.
Dias
Dias
Waginau.... I see, that's the name of the person behind Gabirond. But what is he for?
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
I don't know the details. Maybe there's something that has the same interests. Anyway...

Even if he is not recorded in history, Waginau is the first Lord Commander of the Holy Guard.
Dias
Dias
...!?

Is Waginau... the first Lord Commander...?
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
Was it your first time hearing it? It's no wonder, since all the literature related to it seems to have been intentionally excluded.
Dias
Dias
That's it...! The first means that Waginau has been alive for more than 100 years... and...

The one who was once the Lord Commander has become the top of the Corpse, the dark side of the Holy Order...? There's no way I can believe that...
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
I'm just stating the facts.
Dias
Dias
Even if that is true... are Avis and Waginau really colluding? I really don't think so...

Or perhaps Avis' true intentions are hidden?
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
I don't know about that, but... at this rate, the "salvation" that Avis talks about won't be that far in the future.
Dias
Dias
What is that...?
Corpse Knight A
Corpse Knight A
If an intruder is found, eliminate them immediately!

Dias
Dias
Even though... the story isn't over yet.
Anym
Anym
Dias Elysion!
Dias
Dias
I know! Could you please be a little quiet...!

Later...

It's now!

Sleep! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Dias
Dias
The fact that the Corpse are patrolling here...
Aimerlin
Aimerlin
There is a high possibility that Waginau will hear about your visit here.

Of course... It won't even be heard by Avis. Before that, we have to continue talking.
