-Richard!
-I know. I already figured out the damn situation.- he exploded furiously.
There was the most intense and hostile climate of religious intolerance after the edict of religious freedom lost force and followers of the Order tried to gain new followers and build more temples.
-This is absurd. There are people without work in the village... - Cassie's revolt was genuine.
-There were before in Garrone, don't forget. Most of us were no longer able to live on land and have a chance to trade with humans. Most can't stand us for different faith.
She nodded. Those were turbulent days. It was expected that there would be less rigor in the laws. And the cults were increasingly full of believers trying to dominate the entire city.
-There is still hope of the new edict.
Cassie's astonishment was great.
-You know the wolves don't follow those cults. Wolves were Hecate's creation. We never go after these people.
He raised an inquisitive eyebrow at her, not knowing how to explain it. Already in the past, the atrocities committed in persecution by witches or forced conversion were not common. Some had simply died or disappeared forever between bars and were forgotten or buried alive. It was normal practice despite the hideous torture.
-Cassie, just be quiet and let's try to escape this mess.
-They are in the city and hunting everyone who is not of the same faith. She stomped her foot on the ground indignantly.
-I know that. But there is hope. They say that a new edict... There are promises the monarchy of the kingdom for a new edict to guarantee us the chance of survival.
