Chapter LVI: A Dark Omen

 

That night I was so tired that I fell asleep instantly. I couldn't talk to Cesare about the events of the day, but everything ended well. During my sleep, I felt like I was suffocating, so much so that I woke up suddenly and woke Cesare too.

"Antonio, are you alright?" Cesare asked me.

"I-I'm not sure… I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen these days…"

"Oh, come on Antonio… You are a bishop in the Universal Church, and I swore to protect you from any threat you might have… Anyway, after tonight, when you gave me this ring as a sign of our bond, I feel I would be safer if you were the one protecting me…"

Well, it seems Cesare is starting to become weaker when he's around me, but a true soldier will never stop defending their special person. However, I think something is going to happen in the coming days… I just hope it's a baseless feeling because otherwise, I'd have to handle things differently.
