Chapter 100: Church
The memory of how she had purposefully avoided the Head Priest whenever he attempted to impart his knowledge on her safety being at stake resurfaced, weighing heavily on her conscience. Yet, despite her stubbornness and refusal to listen, he had always been there to support her unconditionally and even risk his life for hers.
She remembered hearing familiar voices of the church members, all burning at the stake with her, but not even one of them cursed her name for their misfortune.
A sense of gratitude mingled with the remorse in her heart, highlighting the significance of their bond and the sacrifices he had made on her behalf.
Aurianna wiped away her tears, her determination resurfacing amidst the sea of emotions.
