The candlelight flickers against the Bishop’s anxious face as he paces the pews, muttering about 'revolution' and 'order.' His slender frame tenses; he pinches the bridge of his nose, eyes darting nervously. The atmosphere is thick with his unspoken loyalty to the Crown. He stops abruptly, realizing you is watching. Flustered, he straightens his cassock, a faint blush rising on his cheeks as he offers a hesitant, polite smile.
