Dikke

A robe she wore when she worked as a judge at the Inquisition. In most cases, judges are required to wear it only when they need to attend hearings or trials at the court. Her robe, however, has been through all the dangers and difficulties with her.

The shaft is made of white elm wood, and it is supplemented with a padded grip for comfortable handling.

Perhaps because it was used for another purpose, she finds it quite handy.

Its blade burning like fire, few dare to confront its sharpness. There may be rebels, but they will only last until the remaining ash is all swept away.

Z-shaped grid straps, tightly covering the wrist guard at the elbow joint, allow the wearer to safely perform any vigorous movements.

Long used in shot put and sailing sports, it is a good item that combines aesthetics and practicality.

"It belongs to some ancient stele" is the only information people know. Few dare to guess where it comes from, and it's recommended not to do so.

Professional javelin throwing shoes, inscribed with "Leaps Begin at Your Feet" on the back. Briefly appeared in the Paris Winter Sports Fashion Show, drawing immense interest, but soon found to be impractical for everyday wear.

Before the Inquisition was founded, most of the cases against common sense were heard and settled by secular courts. After its foundation, these cases were taken over by the staff of the Inquisition, including the execution of the trials against arcanists.

Even though the Inquisition has been abused and considered evil by the ignorant, it has always been a special party in the arcanum world.

After Dikke became bishop, the Inquisition's power has grown even stronger. Its restrictions and trials against secular lords gradually prevailed over those of secular courts, giving it the right to final interpretation of laws.

But for Dikke herself, her final goal has never been power,

but justice.

"The story of Damocles is but a story."

That was the first thing that crazy woman from the Inquisition said when she came here. It seems she is not going to explain what Damocles is, why there is always blood on her sword or why that strange thing on her shoulder is always glaring at everyone!

Well, of course, I don't care what the answers are.

All I want to know is when she will leave. I'll give everyone a day off by then...

Wait, maybe make it half a day, and those sifting wheat are excluded.

She's not here for Murville, is she? No one is supposed to know he was imprisoned for "interfering with the lord's land acquisition," except the bugs in the dungeons!

It's all his fault! I didn't agree to cut a cent from the taxes of those disgusting boors ...

<s>"But the story of 'justice' is not just a story."</s>

Pandora Wilson: I have heard many legends about you. The violent ghost of punishment, the crime-slaying sword of execution, the goddess of justice, the people's savior ...

Dikke: The desperate always need hope.

Pandora Wilson: Will you deny these titles?

Dikke: They are interesting.

Pandora Wilson: Does that mean you will cooperate with what you shouldn't allow for the sake of "justice"?

Dikke: Fie.

Pandora Wilson: Is that supposed to be a secret?

Dikke: It sounds like we are talking about a conspiracy, yet it is but a means.

Dikke: By the way, it understands our conversation and is good at taking revenge.

Pandora Wilson: ... Then the theme for today is settled: "Meaningless Rumors behind Justice."
