  2. 00:23: Confrontation on the Platform

    Leon demands a confession for the destroyed villages and slaughtered temple guards. Kyle mocks Leon's crescent chest scar and mentions Leon hiding under an altar as a boy. Leon grabs Kyle by the throat, but Kyle warns that dead men cannot name killers.

  3. 01:22: Interrogation in the Dungeon

    Inside the underground chamber, Leon presents the West family covenant crest to the chained prisoner. Kyle insists the wolves visited the estate for peace talks. He explains that another culprit carved the wolf claw wounds into the dead bodies after the slaughter.

  4. 02:11: Priest Samuel Halts the Questioning

    Priest Samuel walks into the cell flanked by armored guards. He ends the questioning and orders Kyle burned before sunrise. Leon quotes church law regarding fresh testimony, but Samuel commands him to ignore the prisoner's deceptive words and keep his faith intact.

  5. 02:40: Truth Behind the Holy Armor

    Samuel and the guards leave the interrogation chamber. Kyle walks toward Leon in the dim light. He looks directly at the paladin and states that the murderer who wiped out Leon's family seven years ago was dressed in the exact same sacred armor.

How Episode 1 Ends
