He began to walk towards Halls with the men that came out of the mansion with him.
Those coenobites at Halls were all lined up on the wall of the quadrangle looking towards Boyce, when he yelled.
Cardinal Orren stood in plain sight and watched Boyce slowly approach with his men.
Manguino had listened to Boyce, also, from his office window and he was discomfited by it. He waited for Orren to return to his office. He needed advice on what to do with himself because he could not easily think on his own.
Orren waited for Boyce to reach the wall where he stood and he had ordered his guards not to fire at him. He stood on the wall dressed in his chromium armour and impressive helmet and he stared at Boyce as he stood at the base of the wall in his own majestic armour and helmet.
This was the first time that Orren actually had a good look at this man's battle garb. This time he was certain that he saw on his shoulders the black wing-like epaulettes bringing to mind the 'black feathers' line, in Jessuum's prophesy.
"We had known from the beginning," said Orren. "that you were not to be trusted!"
He looked at Boyce while he spoke and Boyce had a strange smirk on his face when he responded.
"It only means your own downfall, and don't stay under the misconception that you will live to see the end of this day!"
Orren laughed at Boyce, pointing at him, at the same instant.
