Chapter 310:
“What is this…? Wait, Priest Ciero?”
Devan’s initial delight at seeing the Kran royal heirs quickly turned to shock when he saw who had come with them. The key was to bring the children without Isaac or Ciero knowing, but Ciero had ended up coming along. One of the men who led the abduction hurriedly explained the situation to Devan.
Devan’s expression shifted from surprise to one of disdain.
“Of course. This is exactly the kind of person you are. I thought you might have changed after running away and coming back, but… ha.”
Ciero, ashamed, kept his head down. He knew that whatever was said, staying near these children was the most important thing. However, Devan still did not trust him and ordered a search of Ciero’s belongings. Finding nothing that could reveal their location, Devan clicked his tongue.
“If we run into church officials after we get out, it might be useful to have a priest around. As long as he doesn’t get in the way, bring him along.”
“Thank you, thank you!”
Ciero expressed his gratitude, bowing down at Devan’s feet. Devan kicked at Ciero’s hands with disdain still painted on his face.
“Let’s go.”
