“Gone.” It was a loaded word.
Belian’s confident smile didn’t match the absurdity of his statement.
Who in the Empire didn’t know Veneris?
The prophet’s reputation preceded him.
And yet, Belian was mocking him?
Claiming to know what he would do? 2025-04-22 08:07:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Harnie needed time to process everything.
Carsein readily agreed.

Harnie’s eyelids fluttered, then slowly opened, revealing her violet eyes.
It wasn't just her eyelids. Her entire body felt heavy, drained of energy. She needed rest.
