Atop the grand hall of the royal palace, King Pentheus looked down condescendingly at the young heretic who'd been arrested before him and snorted in disdain.
"Apostle of Bacchus?"
In the "Sacred Words" and the "Divine Chronicle", Dionysus, Bacchus, Phanes... these were all incarnations and aliases of the God of Wine.
"We meet again, Your Majesty."
Luo En smiled and nodded, warmly initiating conversation.
"I've come at your invitation. So, how do you plan to deal with me?"
"Want to know?"
Staring at the fearless youth before him, Pentheus raised his eyebrow, revealing a hint of sinister intent in his gaze.
"Guards, put heavy shackles on him and lock him in the cave near the stables, then seal off the entrance!"
Upon hearing the King's command, the Divine Blood Guard showed troubled expressions, hesitating to move forward.
They had witnessed that miracle and unavoidably felt some reverence for that deity in their hearts.
