Finnian... after what took him almost a day... searching relentlessly around the Main temple, asking Helena (who oddly seemed to be following him after that), interrogating other servants, even questioning the carriage man who had taken the Archpriestess..... He finally found the Archpriestess—and the man who had stayed inside her room.
His face was thunderous with fury... a storm behind his eyes… when he heard his beloved Archpriestess had been forced by a filthy man!!
Finnian stormed forward, his footsteps heavy and echoing with rage as he approached Aether and the Archpriestess.... and then he saw it—Aether still holding the Archpriestess as though she meant nothing, as if her sacred presence didn't even matter... and that... that ignited something far deeper and darker in Finnian's heart.
'Fucking bastard! How dare he touch her!! My Goddess!!' Finnian screamed inwardly, his rage boiling just beneath the surface. But he didn't let his anger explode—not yet.
