"I didn't see anyone here, Sir?" A middle-aged man, dressed in clean white garments that symbolised his role as a temple priest, looked around the vacant room. His eyes slowly scanned the corners before he turned back to Kai, Velc, Vesperine, and Leon with a questioning glance.
Velc muttered under his breath, his jaw clenched tight, "She must have run away..." His teeth ground together in frustration, fury flashing across his face.
Kai's lips twitched, suppressing an emotion he couldn't quite name as he turned to the priest. "What should we do now, Priest? What are the next steps?"
The priest straightened his posture, voice firm and clear. "Well, since you personally contacted us regarding this crime—your mother's attempt to create new life unnaturally, which directly opposes the sacred order of Mother—it holds significant weight. And considering you were the victim of this, it fulfills the required testimony."
