The confessional room is small and cramped, offering access to only a single person at a time.  Once inside this small, wooden room, A person is alone with nothing but the cardinal and their own sins.  The confessional room has a single wooden bench and small table holding a candle, with a sliding window that allows words to pass through to the other side.  The cardinal waits on the other side, ready to absolve someone of their sins.

lady of the hour
a knight
I am a knight for the royal court. Protecting my city and it's people is of utmost importance to me. I always wanted to be a knight and having the chance means the world to me.
Fair Evening Yes, it is. I am being honored for saving that child. It's such a wonderful day. Indeed. The people of this city never fail to impress me.  I must ask though, what brings a hero such as you here to confess...nevermind.  Forgive me, that is between you and the cardinal.  ...I'll be honest with you. The reason the child was in the lake was because I pushed him in. You...pushed...him? Were we not in the house of the Lord, I would have choice words for you.  As it is, I would hear your story, if you choose to tell it.  Else, you may speak with the Cardinal, I will not interfere. He chose another woman instead of me. What can I say? I'm not as good of a girl as these people would think. And yet, he has spoken naught but your praises for "saving" him.  He will soon be in the grave if I have anything to say about it. I should probably speak more quietly. Indeed you should.  Do you not recognize a knight of the royal guard?  You must realize that you are speaking to one, now.  And though, as I said before, I have no wish to sully this holy place with such matters, you can NOT go about making such threats.   I was just kidding. Anyway, see you later. Of course, m'lady. I knew it all along.  Else you would have felt the full weight of the law.  Leave, take the candle from the table with you, it is dark out.  I will see that it is replaced.   Yeah, and could you put in a good word with me with the king? I'm trying to expand my renown.
