"Let us not forget history. It was John’s father, Alexander II, who was once sought out when he plotted to remove the High Priest from his rightful seat. A king of Balian himself, turning against the very Church he claimed to serve. And now, here we are again, watching Balian take up the defense of a blasphemer who denies GOD Himself." Vincenzo's eyes sharpened as he went on. "Alba's officer acted as a true servant of GOD should, and for that, they are condemned? No. I say to you all, the real fault lies with those who seek to protect the blasphemer, rather than uphold GOD's law. If a child speaks against GOD, then let her be taught by word or by mark. Better a scar in this life than damnation in the next."

Estevot got the distinct sensation that someone he sincerely despised gave him another reason to dislike him. Then he sneezed and realized it was just seasonal allergies. O Lord give him strength.

Kaba stood before the bulletin board of Elizabeth’s city, her eyes scanning the royal missive pinned upon its weathered wood. As she read, memories stirred, visions of that night when she and her fellow soldiers stood vigilant, guarding a council that never came to pass.

 

“I almost hope they fail to appear once more,” she murmured, voice laced with quiet defiance. “Then, at last, perhaps we may take action.”

 

With a final glance at the proclamation, she turned on her heel and strode back toward the barracks.

"So rather than teach a child the error of her ways calmly, they have opted to instead force her into a life of fear. Shearing ears drives elves away from faith, not towards it." An elf huffs.

Vincenzo saw Estevot from a distance, his gaze narrowing as he watched the man. His thoughts were sharp, lingering behind a calm exterior. "Perhaps your allergies are GOD's way of reminding you that when a man spends too much time in the company of heretics, heathens, and devil-spawn, even the air around him grows foul. You speak kindly of those who stand against the Church, Estevot - Vortice, Darkspawn, and all manner of filth. It does not surprise me to see you sneer at those who still walk the path of righteousness. But know this: I would rather be despised by you than praised by a man who kneels beside monsters and calls them friends." Vincenzo traced the Rhodesian cross over his chest. "So pray for strength, Estevot. You will need it when GOD calls you to account for the company you keep."

Bon'Ox would send a horseshoe to Duchy of Alba with few pieces of parchment paper attached to it.

Estevot felt a gaze watching him...he felt the need to return to Balian with his family. Quickly. He doesn't know why, but he feels the same way before many events he narrowly avoided when he listened to this feeling. More often than not, he didn't. This time however, he wasn't alone, and the people in danger weren't people he needed to run towards. He looked at his baby twins, and his wife. He prays to GOD for strength and safety in getting them home before those the deceivers and their deceived go after him and damn themselves in the pursuit of "Justice."

"A true servant of God does not try and cut down a child who knows no better." Bishop Josefina muttered to her friend, Cardinal Godfrey.
