Since this was a kingdom where divine authority reigned supreme, should he submit some religious hymns?
The moment the thought surfaced in Uriel's mind, he strangled it himself. The precedent of the Sacred Canon of the Dark Alley was still vivid before his eyes. He had no desire for the Wonderland Box to produce nothing but things like "Little Yellow Duck Handkerchiefs."
