Bernadette asked.
Lilith thought for a moment and said, "I don't know..."
"Then why did the Sanguine give you this?"
"Edward said... it was to apologize to me."
"Apologize?"
Bernadette was stunned. Every member of the Sanguine was an arrogant sort. How could they possibly apologize to someone so easily? Especially... to a cat with the same name as their Progenitor?
Wait. Could the apology have come precisely because her name was "Lilith"?
Bernadette knew very well that if your name "happened" to be the same as certain gods... or even certain angels, you might become a vessel for their descent.

Bernadette felt rather helpless. "I'm not trying to trick you. If Edward weren't busy, I would have asked him directly. This concerns your safety and his."

After finishing these explanations, Edward recited a few inspiring poems-serving as a bard once again.
When the "lesson" ended, High Priest Nim approached Edward
