Chapter 84 – Confession from the High Priestess
The words of Cassius were followed by a deafening silence, the High Priestess looking at him with dilated eyes, her face twisting and crunching on itself, as if the woman was in a harrowing battle against some inner demons.
Cassius said nothing at first, staring at her with his steady red eyes, despite feeling all the hairs of his body standing on end like spikes, a deep profound danger cloaking him all over.
[Dangerous.] Ananke whispered, [She is losing her self-control. She can attack and kill you at any moment, Cassius.]
'I know.' He said, narrowing his eyes faintly, 'But I also know that she will try her best to not kill me, not only because of my family but also because she wants to know.'
He clenched his jaw, the joints popping slightly, raising his right hand and placed it atop the one of the High Priestess which was choking him with overwhelming strength.
