Aiden had anticipated that after he had taken nearly all the benefits, the Witch Coven would certainly not let things rest so easily.
Having not been ambushed on the way back, it was quite likely that they would block him at the prison. On his way to the heresy tribunal to deal with the aftermath, Aiden guessed that Qiqimora might have already sneaked into the prison waiting for him.
"The warden should be clear about why I have come," narrowed her eyes Qiqimora.
"To invite me to dinner? I'm sorry, but as you've also just heard, I have plans tonight," Aiden leaned back in his chair with ease.
Unlike the first meeting with Qiqimora, filled with surprise and doubt, after observing her battle with Sister Neve, Aiden had somewhat figured out the effect of Qiqimora's divine words.
Aside from erasing her presence, she seemed to be able to eliminate specific targets' interference and influence on herself or on others; presumably, she navigated the prison unimpeded by using this power.
