Chapter 15 - 14 Child of God?
"Sylphia... why is that bald uncle kneeling?" Reyhan asked, his tone filled with curiosity. He still couldn’t understand why a large, dominant man like Gardon suddenly acted like that.
With barely contained excitement, Sylphia replied, "Uncle Gardon probably realized that Father is... a god!"
(For those who forgot why Sylphia thinks Reyhan is a god, please revisit Chapter five.)
’What the hell... what did she just say?’ Reyhan held his breath—if he still had lungs. His head spun, not from the wind, but from sudden panic.
Meanwhile, Gardon could only freeze in his kneeling position. His eyes widened, his lips trembled like he wanted to say something, but his tongue was paralyzed.
’A god? Did I hear that right?’ he thought, cold sweat running down his temple.
’So it’s true... Verin is the child of a god... even if just adopted.’
His mind filled with questions, yet he dared not ask a single one. He was too afraid.
’You really shouldn’t have said that, Sylphia,’ Reyhan thought, wanting to scold her but ultimately deciding to keep up the act.
"Sylphia, you mustn’t reveal Father’s identity like that," Reyhan said gently, as if not wanting to make the little girl feel guilty.
"S-sorry... so I’m not supposed to?" Sylphia replied in a small, trembling voice. Her clear eyes started to glisten, staring blankly as if she had just dropped her favorite birthday cake.
