    Summary

    Tedesco is searching Bellini’s face up and down in stupefied frustration, making a discovery he’s missed a hundred times before, lower lip twitching, hopelessly trying to fish out useful words. At first Lawrence is tempted to say Aldo’s audacity infuriates him, but the rage comes too late.

    The truth is, it doesn’t seem like it wants to come out at all.

    Then Tedesco’s face colours, oddly pinkier than usual. “... Eminenza Bellini.

    Cardinal Bellini blows the smoke back. Cardinal Tedesco, much to his chagrin, is stirred.

    Summary

    This neverending cycle of gravitation and overcorrection—it was something that no one deserved to endure at his hands, surely. Whatever twists of fate the future might hold, and whatever actions Reynauld might someday feel compelled to take in the name of safeguarding his eternal salvation, he thanked the Light daily that Dismas hadn’t already left him for dead in one of these dungeons just to be through with it all.

    It would be a fitting punishment, Reynauld figured; lenient, even. For all that he’d done, all that he wanted, all that he was.

    Dismas makes his intentions toward a certain crusader known with a fitting present—or so he thinks.
