Fang Hong was taken aback.
He involuntarily stepped back.
Yet the shock did not render him incapable of thinking; instead, his mind quickly raced, linking back to Ameya's enigmatic words some time ago, a clue quickly surfaced. The Lady of the Forest told him that the true pursuer wasn't her, but naturally, someone else.
The hint given was Marlan's Holy Emblem; at the time, Fang Hong dared not associate it with the Lady of War, thinking instead it pointed to one of her knights or a specific individual. But after witnessing today's scene, how could he not know what's happening, especially hearing from the aged knight that Marlan had been watching him since the Fenris affair.
But why?
Yet the aged knight did not respond.
He silently stepped forward, bypassing Fang Hong, heading toward the Holy Altar, only speaking without looking back after a few steps: "Since you have appeared here, I must notify Bishop Faris, no objections?"
"Who is Bishop Faris?"
