Capítulo 163: 160: Have Faith; everything will be alright

“Father William,” one of the nuns called out to the priest. After the sermon was over, Father William had been sitting in his office, filing through the ledgers.

“Yes, sister?“ He said, looking up with his facial expression gentle as a placid lake.

“The things you had asked for to be prepared are following their due course,” said the nun, head slightly bowed and hands clasped in front of her. “But may I ask the reason behind this amount of preparation, Father?“

Father William closed the ledger he had been reading and slowly opened his mouth as if to say something. Only to stop the next second, barely catching himself from divulging information he shouldn't.

Propping his chin against his knuckles, Father William blinked at the nun and said, after a long pause. “Sister, you need not pry into matters that are none of your concern.“ Then, he lowered his gaze and added. “This... This exorcism must not fail, under any circumstances.“
