The Pope was willing to cooperate to prove their innocence.
[Good. He offered it himself.]
Ferdinand was satisfied with the Pope's response.
He intentionally spoke the way he did to trigger the Pope into voluntarily reacting this way.
Of course, Ferdinand was not the one who thought about this, He preferred the non-roundabout way.
However, Raymond insisted on this since the Pope was the Overseer of humans. They could not force him to do what he didn't like, so they had to be strategic about it.
Thankfully, it worked. They did not have to do more to make the Pope move without directly telling him what to do.
{He's telling the truth, right?}
Ferdinand asked Arabella to verify just in case.
{Yes. He's telling the truth. He's not the one who gave the poison and is not involved with the weapon either.} Arabella replied.
The Pope was innocent. The same was true with Cassandra and the four paladins.
They were not involved with the poisoning and the anti-magic weapons.
