Capítulo 410: Reflection [3]

The smell of burning incense lingered in the air. 

"Thank you all for coming. I'm Cardinal Francis, and I will host the mass." 

Cardinal Francis stood by the large auditorium, staring at the numerous cadets sitting opposite him. Garbed in a white tunic, he faintly smiled.

"I would like to first thank those from Haven who allowed this Mass to happen. Without their help and contribution, none of this would've been possible..." 

Though quiet, his voice managed to reach every corner of the room. 

The eyes of several students shone at the presence of the Cardinal who he appeared like a ray of sunshine amidst the darkness that lingered across the dimly lit surroundings. 

By his side, on either end, stood men clad in white, gripping their necklaces tightly. They were the priests of the Church of Clora.

They all stood in silence while watching the Cardinal speak.
