Chapter 638 - Why

"[Reptilian] N-no, it's not like that…" The Guard Captain, Tak nervously swayed his head and his arms as he tried to deny the accusation. Though in the end, he gave a bittersweet smile as he muttered. "W-well, maybe it somewhat is, but… It's just for me, the guards, or for that matter, the church will have no knowledge about it at all! I swear to my life!"

"[Reptilian] And why would we want to do that?" Thinking about his words for a few seconds that felt like several minutes for the nervous skink guard captain, Aiden looked over at the man once more flaunting a calculative smirk on his face.

Tak gulped audibly at the sudden screening, taking a few extra moments to collect his thoughts before replying. He sighed once more, confirming his determination on revealing the crux of the matter. In the end, he reaffirmed his belief and decided to trust these figures.
