Chapter 228: who are you?

Grat didn't flinch. There was no fear in his deep green eyes, only resolve. "I understand. I'm willing to do whatever it takes for the survival of my church members."

Eva studied him for a moment before nodding. "Alright. I will brand you and grant you the ability to brand your subordinates."

She stepped closer, her fingers cold as they touched his forehead. Grat felt a strange, bone-deep chill as a white triangle mark appeared in his eyes for a brief moment before fading away.

"Don't worry," Eva said, her tone indifferent as she stepped back. "This mark won't overwrite Barbados' brand. It simply establishes that Aurianna holds the highest authority over you. Barbados comes second."

"Understood," Grat said, bowing his head slightly. "Thank you."

"The High God..." Grat began, but Eva cut him off with a sharp wave of her hand.
