Neoma sipped her (sweetened) tea while listening to her Papa Boss.

"His Excellency would definitely demand to know what exactly happened to Saint Zavaroni," her Papa Boss said. "After all, their followers would also look for His Holiness."

"What's going to happen if we tell His Excellency the truth?" Neoma asked, then she gently put the tea cup down on the table. "Must we tell the temple that His Holiness turned his back on Yule to be with my Aunt Nichole?"
