Chapter 118: Priests of the God of Lies and Deception (3)
“I heard you came to see me,” Milayna said as she wore a slightly perplexed look.
Naflas nodded. “I do apologize for visiting so suddenly and causing trouble.”
“It’s fine.” Milayna trailed off. Their appearance caught her completely off guard.
If this were any other time, she would have refused outright. She had a mountain of tasks to handle and no spare time for strangers. However, they had arrived as representatives of a church, so she could not easily turn them away.
Naflas introduced himself. “I am Naflas, a follower of Kalosia, the God of Lies and Deception. I serve as an Elder in our church, though I claim little merit.”
“I am Hayes, a priestess of Kalosia’s church,” Hayes added.
Milayna gave a half-hearted nod. “Ah, yes... It’s nice to meet you.”
Her expression held a hint of hesitation, as if she felt uneasy about worshippers of Kalosia.
Naflas offered a wry smile. “I understand your concern. We mean no harm. If you wish, I can even swear it in Kalosia’s name.”
“No, that won’t be necessary,” Milayna said, hastily shaking her head. “I’ve heard your church has changed its policies.”
She cleared her throat before continuing, “So, you want to meet with Arkemis?”
Naflas and Hayes had come seeking help for a pressing matter: a crisis caused by the dark mages attacking Kalosia’s holy land. They hoped to ask Arkemis for assistance.
