Bab 102: Time inside church

Hadeon rang the bell and quickly commanded the butler to bring them a bowl full of salt. The butler didn't hesitate or question the unusual request; he simply fulfilled it and left.

Mallory watched as Hadeon carefully poured the salt into the corners of the room. Once he finished, he stood back and said, "Now that the room is secured, let us take a walk, shall we?" The corners of his eyes crinkled. 

"Is there a church nearby that I could visit?" Mallory inquired, feeling a pressing need to pray and seek God's protection.

"If it's confession you're after, I'm all ears," Hadeon replied with an enthusiastic tone, walking alongside her through the corridors. "I could even arrange for you to stand behind the wooden divider and experience the atmosphere of a confession box."
