Kapitel 90: Talk With The Saintess Candidates

As I sat there, Maria and Seraphina approached me and placed their hands on my shoulders, muttering a chant under their breath. 

Feeling a bit awkward with the silence that followed, I decided to break the ice. "So, how's life inside the church?"

"Good!" they both chimed in unison.

I rolled my eyes. "You guys are good liars."

Their faces fell, and they quickly protested. "No, we're not lying! We're living to honor Eden!"

I couldn't help but shake my head at their blind devotion. It was a problem with the Church's doctrine. Sure, Eden was important, but they took it too far. I mean, even the Pope was corrupt, and he worshipped Eden more than anything. It had twisted his thoughts and made him do terrible things.

Believing in someone or something was all well and good, but over-believing could lead to a twisted opinion and fake happiness. I decided to test their loyalty. "Do you believe in your grandfather?" I asked.
