Chapter 75: Bitter Truth
>>Amber
"Well, now we have two saints," The king said, "Saint Illaris," He pointed at the seats at one side of the hall where Illaris sat with Lyal and a light was shone on her. She pulled on a professional smile and waved at the people who cheered for her. Then the king pointed at me, "And Saint Amber," Then the spotlight was on me
I did the same thing, pulled on a fake smile and waved at them, "I’ll do my best to serve you all." People cheered for me as well.
"Saint Illaris will work with the temple while Saint Amber will work with the magic tower." There was excitement on the King’s face, "It will be a competition between two saints for the first time in history!"
The hall burst in cheers.
Competition? The king wants us to compete? Oh No... I don’t like the sound of that. And I would have dwelled on it more but Hael had my focus.
I looked at him again and saw a noble twink putting his hands on his chest
Anger flared inside of me. As if women weren’t enough, men are after him too!??!
"Both the saints are going to work and see who can solve the problem of miasma faster." The king declared, "And tonight is the night to make bets!"
The hell!? What is wrong with the king?!?
He clicked his glass again, "Enjoy the evening!" But I had no time to dwell on his words. As soon as his speech was over, I got off the stage, and began to descend the stairs to go down.
