freedom


Explanation:
Nisam baš nešto siguran, ali mislim da bi se freedom mogao uklopiti u rečenicu.

Give carte blanche, give the reins to, give scope to; freedom; leave alone, leave it to one, leave the door open; open the door to, open the flood gates; give a loose to.

indulgence


Explanation:
The angel of indulgence...
Koristi se u religijskoj terminologiji u znacenju "oprost grehova", u ovoj recenici ima smisla. Takodje znaci i "popustljiv", tj. "onaj koji se predaje"

U bukvalnom smislu moze i "The angel of surrender..."
