"Do you want me to get you a towel?"

Liora asked gently, then handed over a warm towel and covered Theresa's shoulders.

He is still so considerate, and the towels are warm.

Theresa took the towel and gently wiped her hair and cheeks.

"Would you like something to eat? I'll go get you some food. Please sit down for a while."

After saying this, Leora turned and walked towards the kitchen and started to busy herself.

Theresa sat at the table, her eyes inadvertently falling on the lantern outside the window.

The flame in the lantern flickered in the wind and rain, but never went out.

She picked up the fork on the table and spun it gently. Since Liora could control fire, why did she always let her light the way when hunting?

Oops, the fork slipped.

Theresa jumped down from her chair and leaned over to pick up the fork. As she looked up, she caught a glimpse of light in the depths of the room.

Three faint beams of light danced in the room, and her heart beat wildly. Her instinct told her that there was something ominous hidden behind these lights.

Although she didn't have a clear definition of light now, nothing good ever happened when light appeared.

Theresa swallowed, trying to calm her panic. She carefully picked up the fork and stumbled towards the mysterious door.

"Bring...Bring..."

The sound of my heartbeat echoed in my ears, in sync with the flickering lights.

She reached for the door handle and was about to push it open when she was interrupted by Leola's voice.

"All right, little Tracy, come and eat."

Liola's voice was gentle, which made Theresa feel relieved. She put down her hand and loosened her grip, picked up a tissue, wiped the fork carefully, and returned to her seat.

"If you drop your fork on the floor, just wash it. You eat first, I'll get some side dishes."

Leora put down her plate and went to the place where Theresa hadn't opened the door.

Faced with the sumptuous food, the flickering candlelight, the typhoon raging outside the window, and the three mysterious lights just now, Theresa felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

With all these circumstances, who can eat in such a depressing environment?

What was Leola doing in the room?

“Thump…thump…”

Leola walked out of the room, came to the dining table with crisp steps, and put six red balls on an empty plate.

Theresa didn't dare to blink as she stared at the red ball on the plate. This was exactly what the Fire Cult that Akzan and the Church were fighting against was looking for.

There were traces of burns on Leora's clothes, and the unique smoky smell stimulated her sense of smell.

"Why are you standing there? Is it not to your liking? There's a typhoon outside today, so please bear with it for a while."

Liora's voice was soft, and she picked up the fork and knife with graceful movements, cutting the red ball precisely in half. Then she held a piece with the fork and brought it to her lips, savoring it carefully with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Yes, this has to be fake, right?

How could Leora be involved with them?

Didn't he disappear for the past few months to find his beloved girl?

Haha, it must be fake.

He must be eating some braised meatballs.

Theresa tried hard to control her emotions and enjoy the food when she inadvertently saw the three rays of light in the room behind Leola disappear.

"I heard you went to Hiyori Castle. That place must be charming, right? Did you see her on the street? After all, everyone likes her very much."

Theresa's mind was not here at all at the moment. Her thoughts were in a mess, but her face was as calm as water, without any emotional fluctuations revealed.

She could only maintain her composure and continue to listen to Liora's words.

"Life there was so comfortable and happy. However, why, after I left there, could I no longer feel her response? If this was destined to be so, then why did I hold on to the hope of survival in the first place?"

There was a hint of sadness in Liora's voice, and his words seemed to hold deep emotions and unanswered questions.

"However, your words reminded me that we are not on the same level. I am not favored by God, so it is impossible for me to receive her special care. So I decided to find another way, a way that may allow my existence to match hers, even if it is only a little bit, maybe it will make her notice me." After Leora finished speaking, she ate another red ball.

Instead of using a knife, he grabbed a red ball with his hands, put it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully, as if he was savoring the ultimate delicacy.

"Ah, it's delicious. Little Tracy, I remember you said you wanted to meet her, didn't you? Looking at those portraits and statues in the square in Hiyori Castle surely isn't enough. Do you want to witness the miracles of the goddess Astra with your own eyes?"

There was anticipation in his voice.

Theresa's heart began to beat violently, and her fork fell to the ground again with a sharp sound.

Whatever you ask for, you will get it... Whatever you ask for, you will get it...

The girl that Liora longed to see was actually the goddess Astra, the legendary god who would respond to every prayer?

Theresa's heart was filled with turmoil. She knew it was impossible for the gods to appear so easily. It was impossible for Liora to do that.

However, a bold idea suddenly emerged in Theresa's mind.

If I can't see God, then I can at least suffer God's punishment, right?

Is this what Leora is thinking, ready to bear all the consequences?

She couldn't help but feel scared. Was he really crazy?

Isn't this kind of crazy behavior common among fire-crazed pagans?

Theresa realized that Leora might have become obsessed and was willing to anger the gods in pursuit of a miracle.

But why is he so persistent? Is it just because the goddess Astra no longer responds to him?

Theresa also had an experience where her prayers went unanswered, but she still couldn't understand it.

"You must be curious about why I'm so persistent." Liora said slowly, "You know, the gods always favor the talented. But demons are different. They won't ignore any hardworking soul."

"And you, little Tracy, are a perfect example of her preference. I've seen many people with golden eyes in Hiyori City, but none as beautiful as you. When you said you wanted to rival her, I couldn't help but laugh. I've lost my faith, forsaken by the gods. What virtue do I possess? I thought I was the only one like this, but what happens? Others get responses just as well."

"Boom!"

Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, lighting up the room.

Liora slowly stood up, and flames began to ignite on the eye mask, then slowly dissipated, revealing his eyes burning with red light.
