The priest here, Cardinal Richelieu is actually a real historical figure in 16th century France, an quite a famous one too. I find it nifty how this story references him a bit too accurately lol. The historical Richelieu is famous for establishing absolutism in imperial France. He was praying during the day but absolutely conquering the political scene...also during the day. And he was the mastermind of making France the ultimate European nation, which Louis XIV(debated to be the best ruler of France) continued during his rule (and got a nifty castle that was formerly Richelieu's). It's nice when authors add in historical references, be it events or people, and doubly satisfying if you know em. Don't skip school kids : D
