It was unintentional.” Hearing the apology, Yuniht senses something different about Adia, compared to the usual criminals. Then, in the final moment before the axe fell, she whispers, “A single silver holy flower.” Deeply unsettled by the final words of this notorious villainess, who was accused to have committed every conceivable atrocity, Yuniht wonders if he should investigate further.

Eventually, he arrived at a terrifying truth that he wishes he would never have known—. (Source: Shogakukan, translated)
