293. 'Buying' Slaves

Something was happening in the dark, and there was no denying it. Someone was trying to exploit the poor pilgrims, and they were not just simple soldiers but ranked Bishops with power and pull. 

Sylvester only had the words of Zeke to focus on, and he believed in Zeke wholeheartedly. But, others didn't give the case much importance and merely brushed it off, considering Zeke mentally unstable. 

Meanwhile, for the woman and the child who were victims, nobody was even bothering to look for them, as the Administration ignored Zeke's statement. 

'This isn't normal. A crime as heinous as such occurred in the Holy Land, and nobody is reacting? This makes no sense, considering how angry the Pope is these days. Someone is suppressing what's going on here… Someone is trying to brush this incident aside as something insignificant.' Sylvester thought to himself as he rested in his moving stagecoach.
