Mary did not refuse him “Please speak, Your Highness

Nolan began. “I once read in a book that God saves those who are destined to be saved. Do you think someone like me can be saved?

Nolan raised his right hand, the one had wielded a sword for years. He looked at it. The fingers were long and well–defined, but the skin was covered in scars.

Just like the wounds hidden beneath his robes, it was ghastly, brutal, and ugly.

His fingers curled slightly, and as his expression hardened, the air around him grew sharp. “Reverend, you say that true devotion requires severing all earthly ties and attaining complete purity. But for the past two years, I have known no peace.

There are whispers in my ears. I dream every night, dreams filled with blood as if I have descended into hell, unable to escape. If this is my fate, does it mean God refuses to save me? Or is this simply my punishment?”

Mary closed her eyes brielly. “Your Highness, you fought for your country and defended the people from invasion. Though your hands are stained with blood, you have saved countless lives.

He chuckled. That is fate. Is it not?”

Mary hesitated.

Nolan immediately seized the opportunity. His deep gaze sharpened, carrying a quiet intensity. “Reverend, you should understand. I am not disturbing Serenity’s practice. I am simply following the will of fate.”

After completing morning prayers, Eliza quickly gathered her Bible. When she turned around, she noticed that Nolan had not moved an inch, still waiting at the entrance of the great hall

And at some point, Mary had also joined him.

Eliza clutched her Bible and jogged over. “Hi, Mary, Your Highness.”

“Morning prayers are over?” Nolan asked in an easy, familiar tone. Without waiting for a response, he reached over and took the Bible from her lunds. “Let me take a look”
