"What if it was Grey?"
After a brief silence, Iver suddenly spoke.
He looked at Cardinal Matilda and repeated, "What if the person here were Saintess Grey? What would happen then?"
At that, Matilda hesitated for a moment.
Before she could respond, Iver continued softly, "If Saintess Grey would run into trouble or danger because of this, then it wouldn't be an accident."

After all, the two of them had reacted far too strangely back then. It wouldn't take much thought to realize that
