Under Vivita's relentless assault, Ashu soon surrendered his "offering."
Before Ashu could fully relax, Anna suddenly said, "Huh? Guess who I just sensed?"
"Who?"
"Kakarim. The Cardinal of Kakase is personally coming toward the manor."
Hearing this, Ashu, while enjoying Vivita's meticulous cleanup, furrowed his brow. "Is he really coming to beg for my forgiveness again?"
Forgive Kakarim's son, Kakayather?
Ask Ashu a thousand times, and he'd give the same answer every single time—absolutely not.
Anyone who dared threaten Anna was trash. Trash who deserved to die.
Ashu gave Vivita's head a gentle, affectionate stroke, then got up to go meet the incoming visitor.
He had Summon Holy Shield Knight ready and waiting—just for this.
…
When Ashu stepped outside the manor—
He saw Bishop Geoffrey standing there, along with five other elderly men dressed in similar robes.
They turned to look at him at the sound of his footsteps.
