Chapter XLII: The Return of the Lost and the Day of Judgment

That night none of us could sleep. Not even Vlad could sleep, let alone me or Cesare. Nevertheless, during all that time, we prayed and contemplated all the terrible deeds we had done.

"Cesare, I need to confess. Could you listen to me?" I asked while we were kneeling on the cold marble of the Cathedral.

"Right now? Well... I think it would be good if we all did that to receive divine mercy."

That night, all three of us confessed before God and received plenary indulgence and forgiveness of our sins. I hadn't felt so relieved in almost a month and now I can say that I feel closer to Divinity than before.

The next day, the most important day of the year arrived. The entire capital and groups of people from all over the kingdom came to be united with us in a holy celebration where we would ask for God's mercy upon us.
