Chapter 191
– Disobey, and you’ll be handed over to the Inquisitor to face the Church’s torture chambers?
It’s something many rebellious children often hear from their parents growing up.
Of course, as they grow older, they inevitably realize the absurdity of it all. “Why would the Church even have a torture chamber?” or “The Inquisitors only go after heretics!” they’d say, rebelling against such notions.
It’s a perfectly reasonable reaction.
After all, what is the Church?
The Church, a sanctuary dedicated to Deus, exists to serve and bestow endless kindness upon all, following His teachings.
Why, then, would a warm and serene place like the Church have a torture chamber buried in its depths?
And even if such a place existed, why were no screams ever heard?
Even children who once feared the Church eventually dismissed these tales as mere rumors upon pondering such questions.
