In the end, Shard still accepted the [Desecration Cross], though he felt that Miss Swift had been looking at him with strange eyes since lunch.
After lunch, Shard left the auction house and took a carriage alone to the House of the Blind on Ruff Lane. Even though the weather was turning colder recently, Sister Delphine was still dressed in her dark gray, silk nun's robe as usual.
According to the agreement made last Wednesday, today Sister Delphine would take Shard to the headquarters of the [Spiritual Practice Order] and inform him about more information regarding the Order and the Primal Fire.
After confirming that Shard had a free afternoon, the two got on a carriage at the back door of the House of the Blind and then drove out of the city.
