Book 17: Chapter 41
New church’s street.
“All right, everything has been fully prepared. It’s time I leave. Tonight is their time, but the future belongs to us.”
There were four men sitting in a plain horse carriage stopped by the side of the road. The new church’s pope grabbed hold of his brothers’ hands and sincerely said, “God will bless our pursuit. Where a noble cause is pursued, there will always be sacrifices accompanying it. That is a sad fact that we humans must deal with; however, we also have the courage to continue to forge forth after suffering the pain of our brethren.”
“All glories belong to God.”
“No, my brothers and friends. All the glory does not belong to our god, alone, but also us. God also exists thanks to us. Similarly, we are noble because of God. That is our creed. God protects us, his believers, but we believers must also let God feel honoured!”
The pope knocked on the canopy of the carriage with his cane. The coach whipped the reins and the carriage began to take off toward the exit of the city.
Hilles City restricted entry, but, usually, wouldn’t stop people from leaving. The new church’s pope and the other important personnel left Hilles City. The carriage went past where their member was executed and then northward at a fast pace before vanishing into the billowing green barley.

I pushed the door open to the three-storey inn. It was still early; therefore, they weren’t yet open for business. Usually, the first floor of inns was a small bar. In front of the counter were several circular tables. In the centre was a stove. By the looks of it, however, the stove must’ve been left unused in a long time. Nobody drank alcohol in the morning, which was why there was only the boss who was wiping cups behind the counter.
