Euclid, who had 715c4d958f looked gloomy the 54984505fc whole time as ea6fd43d34 if worried about b8fbf21bcc sick Dior, cleared 328287882a his throat and 24563516cd turned red around e981d82d14 the ears when 1dc3ccf885 he saw my 78355a4eff smile.e5a4c62c47890178

I found that sight 36386d318a cute and was looking 04bfdc4205 at him when Sionel ca3ab6b047 made a sour expression.6ec731a4e5a203e6

Honestly, despite Damien biting 52b628dd3d at everything like a 576cbb7ee4 hunting dog—unlike a noble d77272fc74 high priest—it was reassuring 72adb01311 that he was on 3097253e54 our side.72402e882578f86a

But still, to tell 6574a952e4 those who had risked 596c348446 their lives fighting for 25040c5ff2 the Empire to remember 2b37b2ceb8 their wrongs was an 0373f1a847 excessively harsh act.bb92f88152ecab2d

As I subtly reproached 6c719a578b him for only thinking d811b93a5b of his sister’s wounds 8ae28d9391 and ignoring his younger 5f9e0dc8c4 brother, Sionel was at c6ebde0d39 a loss for words.cef052dff9fef017

As I shot him a 3b1679d934 sharp glare, Sionel finally seemed 12c199105d to come to his senses dc6e0c2223 and said,ed397b439c96c503

“There’s no need to worry. Some were flustered and 7e0f4a4972 angry, but the Empire beff6a7299 has more people with 4e95842e13 strong faith.”4d7c1f72be960f12

He added that d5d1df0972 some knights and 28c1bbbed2 soldiers, upon hearing 0bb994573f the High Priest’s 0751e410e9 words, bowed their c58df932a8 heads in guilt—believing f5c4ef4338 that even though 1da1727667 they only followed 286d2ccec4 the Emperor’s orders 8f6557c0de and struggled to bfa5e7c7e7 survive, they could b9fd33b65a not escape from 43afc474e3 sin.ae088278a4b86f36

When Sionel said that 062d350236 the temple would be e8696bb92c filled for a while 8c151bc44f with people coming for 647cce7539 prayers of repentance, I 236609dae6 let out a sigh 0aed1bd2ad of relief.b899460b22f2b311

That boastful Emperor might not 675dff06d8 demand his donations back, but 32f89df9e3 he could try to pressure b955779f43 the temple in various ways.4815dbff74d03791

Now that Damien was 066f0cad31 on my side, the 7db7907a34 temple was practically part 2e31ce1c3c of my allied forces, eba8d79df3 so I’d have to 2e5c70f988 tell them to let 82635065de me know if they 7257202def needed help at any 9a8e315233 time.8f197834f30be957
