Chapter - 74
Remus frowned. "An introduction? To whom? The Lord? You already know him."
"Higher," Leo said.
"The Baron?"
"Higher."
"The King?" Remus looked alarmed. "I cannot get you an audience with the King."
"No," Leo shook his head. "I want an audience with the High Priestess."
Remus froze. His mouth dropped open. He looked at Leo as if the boy had just asked for a meeting with the sun itself.
"The... High Priestess?" Remus whispered. "Her Holiness? The Voice of the Light?"
"That's the one," Leo nodded.
"Impossible," Remus snapped. "Absolutely not. She resides in the Capital. She is the most holy woman in the Kingdom. She speaks only to Royals and Archbishops. You are... you are a mercenary! A commoner! Why in the name of the gods would you want to meet her?"
Leo remembered the cart ride with Grendel. The old man's lecherous grin. The description of the High Priestess who had visited Auravale years ago.
