I really liked the way your did the love scene for Aine and Reynold. The buildup with the festival was lovely. Alternating between their two points of views as things progressed really worked well. And your screenshots are artistic and beautiful. Well done!
GlacierSnow:
As for Kat, she's going to hopefully be a comical character, and one whose general attitude might be oddly out of place for this period in history. More of her next chapter, if I keep my notes in the right place! I look forward to introducing her properly. I'm really glad you liked that scene cuz I worried I made it too cheesy or, you know, too uhh...much? XD I really love flicking between PoVs during these sorts of scenes. I worry it comes across as jarring, but I like seeing two characters' simultaneous thoughts on each other in the same moment. Thank you < 3 Ahh yeah especially in the ending of the chapter. I had to go REALLY careful how I shot those scenes and had to discard about 3 screenshots for being too much XD

Also, about Reynold--
Hmmm I don’t know if I can answer that without being potentially spoilery, I’ll see if I can: i’m not actually sure if any previous Abbot or Abbess was ever a witch, so it’s hard to nail down. Peterans generally practice acceptance of all, so for a Peteran to be anti-witch wouldn’t be particularly by the book, but then not everyone follows guidelines and some can easily make exceptions for acceptance- so we’ll see what happens later down the line maybe. I haven’t fully thought those bits out yet but you’ve made me realise I do need to soon : p
I really like Katlego as a character. She seems feisty and smart. My kind of woman.
I'm very curious to see what happens with Gideon. I enjoy well-developed antagonists, and it feels like you are off to a good start with him. I love how exasperated he was with the nobleman who kept just giving him the vaguest reasons for why he thinks those women are witches.
As for Gideon, I’m glad you said that because that’s what I’m going for with this story. A lot of the antagonists in my other stories are generally more obviously ‘evil’ for lack of a better word, since sometimes people are just plain awful but this time I’m going for something different and a bit more complex. Whilst a lot of my other antagonists know they’re doing wrong but don’t seem to care, In this universe almost everyone does what they do because in their minds, they are doing the righteous thing. They’ve been told witches are evil, people fear for themselves and their families and so the best thing they can do in their minds is to put a stop to them.
EDIT: There may be a delay in the next chapter. I know it won't matter since I don't upload infrequently, but I accidentally updated my game and what with the state of the recent patch issues... XD
I am liking Katlego more and more with every encounter.
"I diagnose you with denial"
And I have also the impression that we will have to keep an eye on Reynold's sister, she looks quite dangerous...
I was wondering if Gideon was going to find out he'd been tricked. Good suspense you've created with what's going to happen next.
Excited to see Katlego and Aine teaming up.
And Reynold... intriguing comments about his "blood". Mother Joyce sure seems worried.
