Sharle came back right after that. When she confirmed I had not killed the Cardinal she let out a relieved breath. She had probably judged, like the collapsed woman, that he had information.
The miniaturized Marionette the Cardinal had. From the bad atmosphere and feel I knew immediately it was a Marionette, but originally they were a little bigger and I did not think other people would notice right away. Miniaturized Marionettes had not been used even during the war. So it was natural to think it had been modified in another country, but the existence of a Marionette this small was far too dangerous.
It was my first time seeing one too. A Marionette small enough to attach to a necklace…
