Chapter 81: Discussions [2]
With a soft sigh, Matilda spoke "Tomorrow morning, you will have an audience with the Supreme Pontiff, the Sacred Triarchs, and the Empyreans of the Divine Order. The most powerful figures within the Church will be gathered to speak with you."
"Further discussions can be done there."
"I understand that this is a lot to take in, but it is necessary. There are matters that must be discussed... your role, your future, and the expectations that come with it."
Hearing this, Brandon nodded his head and she spoke "Arrangements for your stay have already been made. You will spend the night here within the Inner Sanctum. Your quarters will be prepared accordingly, ensuring comfort and privacy."
"The Inner Sanctum is one of the most heavily protected locations within the Church. No one unauthorized can enter these halls. However, given the unusual nature of Lord Brandon’s existence... additional precautions will be taken."
Charlotte rolled her eyes "I alone am more than enough to protect him."
With a bow, she muttered "For now, rest. I will ensure that your quarters are prepared."
With that, she left the room, leaving them alone.
Charlotte reached for the bottle of wine that had been left behind and poured herself another glass before taking a slow sip.

Brandon was lying on the bed in his assigned room and took a grape from the stool beside him before tossing it inside his mouth.
