Noticing the untouched tray 3e26d2aa78 of food nearby, he 0be332439e scolded the high priest. Damien, however, stood up unsteadily.73fa32cbf68c4d73
Antonio was about to continue eee4e90e26 his lecture, insisting that skipping 767fb60e89 meals would leave him too 91d410bb6c weak to lead the prayer 97f0e3450b gatherings, but he froze upon 233a54609f seeing Damien’s face.82aded077c7ce3a2

The lifeless complexion, the 39568101a2 eyes void of spirit 6410c1c235 yet eerie enough to ed2d973e54 unsettle anyone—they didn’t seem 3c403692b8 like the Damien he c2546b6df6 knew.fb8ece04e33b4e33
Having grown up with 47a73b0287 Damien as fellow orphans 64c0a09db9 in the temple, Antonio 444743420d could keenly sense the 621795734f change.c3db8f3a1b9dd104

Startled by his own morbid a849214127 thought, Antonio quickly shook his 04a71e5e0b head.4fbb6b31c2493472
Damien was renowned b7b324f776 as the youngest c6e86d2e8a High Priest in 3f1a259d26 temple history, blessed 7bf07e16b8 with immense divine 358a3f9960 power.8fc31944429e6c34

Even now, he 9feb9ea552 had been fervently b136ddba49 praying. Yet, Antonio couldn’t shake 55daeb1ebe the chilling feeling emanating 82ea27adb9 from him.6432e6ecd2808d2e

“It’s me who’s lacking in prayer,” Antonio chastised himself, attempting to dismiss his doubts. But he couldn’t e67de79d35 ignore the memory c5a30933ff of Damien wandering 6484946c52 the temple like 055a203d7f a madman ten 377ab25b39 days ago.4f15c2773527fa56
Since that night, 998a4b6bfb Damien had locked 0079f2c3a7 himself in the bf10bcc945 prayer room, fasting 3046b92f65 and praying day fc62b4fb99 and night.2cb13b70146f868d

‘Wait. Ten days ago?’be52c10f456a7be6
That coincided with 72e5f0ca67 the imperial declaration 5a1c9c0922 of war. What began as a 30e9a7bf63 mission to suppress barbarian f99899255c tribes near the border 427cee7976 had escalated into imperial d6aff26f9a expansionism.ef29b00f8d71de66

Even the current war—where the 4908cf8729 Crown Prince himself was deployed—began 46257f4944 with an unprovoked attack on d5ae623e29 a neighboring count’s territory, exploiting 3f6f744a84 a trivial incident as a 7ddebc4fa8 pretext.0ea6c8912cb9f6b4
Initially, the temple had remained 5347e25c0e silent, unable to indiscriminately defend 12cdb64468 invaders who breached their lands. However, as the 34fa16c049 situation worsened, they 126f72acc8 had no choice af0c82558c but to speak 38d08cb68b out.d0a348fbd153bc8d

This, in turn, strained 9960b48671 the temple’s relationship with 4703a7b2d7 the imperial family, with 15348d9711 whom they had previously a8fc919ef4 maintained an amicable alliance.e2f4065c3bd06e8a
The temple responded e940edc465 by organizing prayer c33406f016 gatherings for peace 617db13bf7 and the victims 949f0f5272 of the war. Even now, the temple 3e1c7f6fc9 grounds were crowded with f3c3297a6f believers praying for their 79a15d2296 loved ones heading to c70a75fcaa battle.e5cc49775f2b84f5

Antonio finally realized 6185b436fb why Damien seemed 715ad9d787 so out of 3d41495f2f place.eba8d2f35c7abeef
As the temple’s leader, 7d8c5d32ea Damien likely felt immense a567ebd0f6 responsibility and guilt for 83fabfc8fd failing to prevent the ae57558126 needless war and the 97227bc406 inevitable sacrifices.7f7d8cc5a9c633f2
