Half-step Purgatory

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet:
"I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf."
"You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles."
"But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.'
Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Durin's Diary

At night, Tanya, having taken a bath, came out in her robe to announce some good news to Durin.


It was said that today's negotiations went smoothly. The High Priest of the Prime Creator refuted the slander against Northern Doctrine by Robert's eldest and second sons, declaring that the conflict engulfing the Northern Kingdom was solely due to Professor Jason's death, meaning that the Prime Creator holds the two princes responsible for the turmoil.


The Prime Creator does not overly interfere in human affairs, but the mutual pardons between Jason Cain and Vastinia Big Toe were granted with the High Priest of the Prime Creator acting as a witness and guarantor.


So now, both of the pardoned have died, the High Priest could be shameless, but for you young people to handle things this way, where does it leave the face of the Prime Creator?
