Step into the year 1521.Niklas Brandt, a 29-year-old imperial secretary, has just arrived in Worms. His duty is simple: transcribe the proceedings of a trial. But the man on trial is Martin Luther — and as the words echo through the chamber, Niklas begins to question everything he once thought neutral.This calm, cinematic narrative retells the Diet of Worms, where Martin Luther was summoned to answer for his writings before Emperor Charles V. Told from the perspective of an imperial stenographer, the story explores the quiet tension between truth and duty — and what happens when a witness begins to care.The story is fictional, but grounded in historical accuracy and drawn directly from eyewitness accounts, trial records, and letters.
