"Eva…" Loras watched Evangeline worriedly. 'He knew having Leo Thorne here wasn't a smart choice.'
'He's a natural troublemaker. How long has it been, and he's already dragged Julian into The Hive? Even a master at the Nine-star Extreme Realm like Drake was no match for The Swarm. If it's just the two of them, they'll be trapped and won't make it out if they get surrounded.'
Seeing the look on Loras's face, Genesis's own little face clouded with worry. He whispered, "Is Father Thorne okay?"
Evangeline handed Genesis to Loras and said calmly, "Let's go."
Loras hugged Genesis tightly, nodded, and followed behind Evangeline. When he reached the cliff's edge, he was about to jump down.
Evangeline grabbed his arm. She tilted her head and said, "We're going to a Contract ceremony. We can't make a poor showing, can we?"
Hearing the dangerous undertone in Evangeline's voice, Loras pressed his lips together and said nothing.
