The Cardini domain was a barren land.
Although the discovery of silver mines had made its lord wealthy, life for the people remained harsh and unrelenting.
The sole priest there was Serpino.
He strove to nurture faith and practice mercy, but was constantly thwarted by the cruel reality of life there.
Amidst it all were the constant temptations of the lord’s daughter, Lucrezia.
“I want to follow the priest’s voice. To reach out to the thirsty… isn’t that right?”
The gulf between ideal and reality.
Prayers scattering into emptiness.
Even his foster father, who had once been a guiding light, now faced peril.
As Serpino sank into despair, Lucrezia once again offered him her hand.
“I’m on your side. Don’t turn to her — seek help from me.”
A serpent’s whisper.
Yet by the time he resisted corruption, he was already standing in hell.
Was she a witch or a saint?
