Chapter 117 - 103 Who Is He Really?_2
On the fourth day before the execution,
The elderly Priest from the Pattern Garden, Dorias, arrived at the prison.
He was the priestly tutor of Prince Rui Ying and the person the High Priest of the Pattern Garden had arranged to visit Basel.
Priests of the Pattern Garden held an extremely high status within the Logos Kingdom, they were servants of God, elevated above the nobles.
Because of this, the priests of the Pattern Garden often enjoyed certain privileges, even prisoners sentenced to death.
One such privilege was the right to have a priest visit them.
It was customary in the Pattern Garden that if a priest was to be executed, someone must visit him before the execution.
Although Basel was not well-regarded within the Pattern Garden, he was still a member of the priesthood, so after careful consideration, the High Priest decided to send Dorias to visit Basel.
In doing so, they maintained the dignity of the priests while avoiding offending the heir to the kingdom.
Dorias stood outside the prison door, staring at Basel inside.
The poet stood deep in the cell, in the dark, facing the wall, his arms swinging.
