"...I understand,"
Aiwass had a sudden epiphany, "You stole the Tears of Time to harm the Pure White Saintess—your goal was to destroy both Freya and Grey at the same time!
"You didn't want the research on Amberficate to continue, nor did you want the legacy of the Eternal Saintess to be passed down. So, you planned to use the potion being synthesized by Freya to murder the Pure White, thereby framing Freya!"
"Hmph."
Loki smiled, neither confirming nor denying it.
In that case, this part adds up.
Why only a third? Because there was originally only one person to be murdered, and even considering performance degradation, this amount was enough.
If Bishop Mercedes had not died, if Gloria had not had an accident, Aiwass wouldn't have connected the stolen potion to Loki and the Pure White. They would have only gone to the Eleventh Ring to ask Cardinal Loki who the perpetrator was, even seeing Cardinal Loki as an ally NPC.
"...So."
