Side Story (24)

Scared out of her wits, Cassandra remained frozen. Her hand trembled, as her heart began to race in panic. 

She got caught red-handed!

And the last person she expected was the man behind her, the first highest priest!

Cassandra swallowed the lump in her throat as she retracted her hand. Her eyes remained on the beautiful bookmark which actually sealed a demon inside. Although her curiosity towards the item was skyrocketing, she remained mum for she didn't have time to think otherwise.

"I-I…ah…" She stuttered. She'll be punished for sure! And from the cold tone of the first highest priest, she was certain her punishment would be severe.

"You? Hm?" First Highest Priest Yunis stood behind Cassandra. It was the first time he talked to her directly. The time that he'd been waiting from the beginning. A daunting grin formed in his thin lips, and a gleam of amusement and a sense of satisfaction showed in his golden eyes.
