Chapter 279: Threat of the Holy

*****

"Is everything prepared?" After spending three hours in the room reviewing the documents, Gabriel came out.

"As you wished," Callum answered. He had been waiting all this time for Gabriel. 

"What about Avilia?" Gabriel asked, looking in the direction of the stairs. "Is she still in the room?" 

As Avilia slept late last night, he wasn't sure if she was still sleeping. 

"I'm not sure," Callum answered, looking slightly hesitant. "I couldn't gather the courage to check up on her."

Even though Gabriel told him Avilia wouldn't hurt him, there was still an innate fear in his heart. He had been hunted by the members of the Sacred Churches, and now, one of their leaders was there? How could he not be shaken?

Gabriel could only sigh in response. 

'This guy is usually so brave, but at his heart, he is also scared. Then again, Avilia does have a fairly impressive reputation. I can't blame him.'
