118. A narrow escape

Third Highest Priest Altrois smirked at her, "Lady Zephyr and her son. Though I am not sure if you'll even consider their lives as they weren't related to you at all. But do know that their lives are in your hands." 

He took a step closer to Mona and extended his hand, waiting for hers to reach him. "And the other two...well, they were probably barely hanging on their lives, I mean the Saintess and the second highest priest by the way."

Mona shuddered at the joyful expression of the priest, as if he was having fun while threatening her with people's lives. He was like a devil grinning down at her, watching the misery and devastation consume her. She gritted her teeth in anger. How could he think of hurting those people who had never done him wrong?
