An Unholy Act in the House of God

Within the City of Kufstein, the light of dawn shone through the Royal Palace's private Chapel. Within this room there was no priest, only an altar, and a large golden cross representing the glory of God Almighty. 

Kneeling before this altar was none other than the Empress of Germany, Adela von Kufstein. For some time, guilt had overcome this young woman. Months ago, she had engaged in a rather sinful act with her husband and his other wife. As a woman who grew up in a pious and righteous household, the images of what she did that night mentally scarred her.
