When no one made any response to his statement, Varion looked up to skeptical gazes. "It-it's true! I have no memory beyond that!"
"Hmm..." Zein stood up and walked away, approaching the sitting summoner. "I want to make sure if they truly have a connection to the cult, but I guess that's not possible?"
"It's hard; there's a reason we haven't found them yet," Radia crossed his arms. "Even spies would think thrice before peeking around the internal matter of an Old House."
There was a reason Old Houses could maintain their power and authority, after all. The only reason House Ishtera fell was because the conflict came from the inside.
"If we can get the evidence for that, however, we might be able to absolve a whole clan," Radia added eerily.
"Pardon me, but...what is this about a cult?" Darleon asked. "Also, can you release him now? It's not like we can escape or anything."
