"I wish that I would have known this, earlier. I want this place to be as authentic as possible to its original interior!"
Orren and Manguino looked at one another with puzzled eyes and Boyce continued.
"I had found out the history of this place from a few of the towns' people and I had decided to talk to a few of the people who have been within this house when it was lived in by the ruling Lord. I had every detail of their memories reconstructed. My academy will have the atmosphere it needs, to inspire our artisans and great thinkers."
"What's in here?" Manguino demanded of him, touching the cabinet with a few pats of his hand.
"Nothing is in there!" replied Boyce.
"Open it for me!" Manguino threw another order at Boyce.
"I don't believe that I am obliged to do so without being given a reason for my opening it!" Boyce denied obedience to them, knowing exactly who both of these men were.
"If you are to live in Pomperaque," said Orren. "you must learn to obey the ArchBishop. He wants you to open that cabinet and you will open it!"
Boyce put on a bewildered expression then sighed, nodding his head as he went to the cabinet.
He took a key from around his neck and put it in the slot of the cabinet door. His actions with the key, and the manner in which he used it to open the doors, disturbed Manguino but he made himself think that Boyce was told about the way that Brook handled the cabinet key.
