The people of Sorex only knew that Edmon was the one who kidnapped Rose and took her away from the Holy Temple.
Even so, they believed that Rose was no longer pure and that she had become a taint upon the Holy Temple.
For that very reason, the Holy Temple decided to revoke her title as the Saintess and pass that title to a woman they considered purer than her.
"This is your home now," the Cardinal said.
He was still looking at Rose with that same smile on his face. The longer she looked at it, the more disgusted she felt, but Rose was too numb to show it.
She was too numb to be angry, too numb to care about anything happening around her. After everything she had lost, none of it seemed to matter anymore.
"Every morning and every night, you will pray at the temple," the Cardinal continued. "If you miss even a single day, someone will punish you."
