Claude is good hubby. Doesn't let no one talk shit about his wife.
That guy sure did a lot of accusing and pontificating without answering any actual questions.
I was kinda hoping for this to be a convenient out where he goes "Well, if you're so unhappy with my actions as the Holy Sword wielder, you can take it."
He loses a lot of political sway, probably, but he'll also have a good excuse for no longer using the sword in public, and it's the church left holding the bag because the public understanding is gonna be, "the Agentine house made a cure and the church responded by confiscating the Holy Sword."
