Banquet of the Golden Witch: Difference between revisions

Line 70:

After reading Beatrice's letter at dinner, the adults attempt to contact Kinzo to verify the authenticity of the letter. Receiving no response, Eva and Rudolf take this to mean that Kinzo's implicitly condones the content of the letter. However, the family remains suspicious regarding the true identity of the person who handed Maria the letter in the first place. Recognizing that each of the siblings had alibis, several come to the conclusion that a 19th person, a mistress Kinzo had kept, was responsible for the letter. Furthermore, the siblings reach the conclusion that, if Kinzo's mistress really was responsible, then she was already in possession of the gold and planned on exchanging it for headship of the Ushiromiya family.

That night, Beatrice appears before Kinzo and reveals that he was selected as the first sacrifice of the witch's ritual. Genji, Kanon, and Shannon enter Kinzo's chamber and witness Beatrice incinerating Kinzo. Beatrice tells the servants that they too have been selected as part of the first twilight. Kanon resists this fate and Beatrice offers to spare him and his loved ones if he can defeat the [[Seven Stakes of Purgatory]]. While he manages to defeat [[Lucifer]] in single combat, he is unable to defeat the rest of the sisters. Genji quietly kills both Kanon and Shannon in order to spare them from a painful death at Beatrice's hands. Beatrice's servant [[Ronove]] then kills Genji in the same manner.

Annoyed that Genji killed their prey, the Seven Stakes of Purgatory seek out and kill [[Toshiro Gohda|Gohda]]. They then attempt to kill [[Chiyo Kumasawa|Kumasawa]] but learn of Kumasawa's true form: that of [[Virgilia]], the original Beatrice.
