"I was hoping… to find your ceiling. To see just how powerful the so-called chosen champion of the Goddess was."
He lifted his eyes and stared at Reinhardt. There was satisfaction and amusement flickering within those dim eyes.
"But it seems… My strength wasn't enough."
There was no bitterness in his words, only acceptance.
Just like Reinhardt had guessed, Giacomo was trying to find a way to die. So when he saw Reinhardt appearing, he couldn't help but issue a duel.
For him, it was a disgrace to become a demon. He wanted to fight and die like a knight until the end.
Reinhardt remained silent for a moment. Then he stepped forward. Stopping a short distance from the fallen knight.
"Why? Why did you accept the demon heart? Why did you kill everyone here?"
Giacomo lay against the shattered stone, looking at the ruins of the palace with grim eyes.
"Fine, since you defeated me I'll tell you everything."
