Chapter 37
Lukas, holding onto Aaron, who was sobbing uncontrollably, raised his voice toward Ian.
“The young lady is in danger right now.
The only one who can help is you, Priest. I’m not asking you to become her personal priest immediately. I’m asking you, as a servant of God, to save a person.”
As a servant of God... Ian’s lips trembled slightly. A wave of fear washed over him—was he truly worthy of such a title?
Ian stood frozen in his fear, while Aaron and Lukas watched him closely.
Amidst the tense silence, a small voice broke through.
“Ian... Priest Ian?”
Hearing Lukas call Ian’s name, Aiden, who had been standing quietly at the entrance, murmured it under his breath. He finally realized that this was the very priest ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) the Duke had sought to bring.
As Aiden spoke, all three men turned their eyes toward him.
Yet, despite their attention, Aiden remained unfazed, his unfocused gaze locked on Ian alone. His eyes, bloodshot from tears, burned red.
Slowly, Aiden took a step forward, moving toward Ian.
This priest... He could save Lady Selina.
