Prison Director Balon personally retried Yi Chen, yet this retrial was anything but simple.
Since the Monastery is regarded as the judicial authority managing the entire Old World, even if this 'judicial' authority greatly differs from human institution, acting more as a will of the world, the Monastery itself is still a place that emphasizes fairness and justice.
Even if Prison Director Balon wanted to save Yi Chen, he had to do so in a reasonable and appropriate manner, otherwise, if those at the helm didn't follow the rules, the entire order of the Monastery would be affected.
To expunge Yi Chen's earliest crime of being imprisoned in the upper echelon, Prison Director Balon intensified the priest's sins and used the argument of offsetting good deeds against bad to absolve Yi Chen of the first charge of "manslaughter".
