Synopsis

The chapter begins with a warning about revealing the truth about Aschel, due to the risk of angering the Knights of Light. The narrative shifts to a reflection on Aschel's unwavering trust from everyone, including the protagonist's father, and even himself, that now feels suspicious. It's implied that Aschel was chosen as a savior not because of his personal qualities but because a savior was needed, making his rise to fame almost automatic. The protagonist plans to confront Cecilia to uncover her reasons for betrayal, while Cyan has revealed some truths but won't share the full story yet.
