Capítulo 84: THE CONFRONTATION  

Yosef did not take long on the road. When they arrived at the monastery, the monks were coming out of the chapel where they had just finished the morning Mass.

The monks were of various ages; young men, middle-aged men, and also some old men. They were dressed in the black habit with white sashes around their waists. 

Yosef approached one of the monks who was coming their way, "excuse me, monk."

"Yes knight, praise God!" Replied the monk when he saw this middle-aged Knight Templar greeting him.

"Praise God brother, I am knight Yosef, and my colleague over here is Commander Gallo Francis." He introduced them before approaching the issue which had brought them.

"Knight Yosef and Commander Gallo, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Brother Fredrick, how can I help warriors of the church?" The monk asked them.

"We wanted to meet Abbot Jeromy, was he there in the Mass?" Yosef asked him, hoping the answer was going to be positive.
