Woah, i really like this FL's attitude towards the original Renee... neither trying to pretend to act like her, but not condemning her either. Saying she'll be the one person to trust her in this world... I can't lie, I really love that. Plus the setting meaning she doesn't know the plot, and her being boss enough to just bribe a Visibly Corrupt Priest? Love it.
Create one person who believes your innocence...
