Lady Geist seeks somebody to pawn Oathkeeper off on due to her failing ward. After a discussion with her grandson on who to give Oathkeeper to, [[Johann Geist Jr.]] suggests giving Oathkeeper to Maximilian Fairfax, to which Lady Geist notes that he'd likely bind or weaponize Oathkeeper.

In Storyline C, Lady Geist decides to pursue the idea of giving Oathkeeper to Fairfax, and proceeds to meet him at his office. After a stiff greeting where Maximilian asks Lady Geist if she knew where Pocket was, the two begin discussing why Lady Geist is there.

The visual novel showcases some of Maximilian's characteristics. When Lady Geist asks if Maximilian will offer her a drink, he tells her to help herself since he's not here to serve her. When Lady Geist tells Maximilian that he is a man with powerful enemies, he responds by telling her that he has enemies, yet describing them as "powerful" would be generous. Maximilian tells Lady Geist that nobody contacts him unless they want something from him, to which Lady Geist retorts that he doesn't return calls if he thinks they're going to waste his time.

Lady Geist wants Maximilian to take Oathkeeper as she's "tired of bearing his weight", and believes an entity as powerful as Oathkeeper needs a strong hand to guide it. She offers Oathkeeper to Maximilian in exchange for guarantees for her foundations and her safety. Maximilian agrees to the terms, and arranges a notary to make a blood contract to seal their deal. Three days later, the deal is complete and the blood contract is signed, as Oathkeeper is transferred from Lady Geist to Maximilian.

Storyline C ends with Maximilian asking Oathkeeper if he's ready to change the world.
