'Neah?' Kyran could not help but frown at this. He knew the Nobles had been after the Saint and that the fake Somuli Sovereign was behind it. But he did not know the latter's intentions. He wanted to ask Azikh and Gidan about it, but since he had just arrived and had not earned their complete trust, he stalled bringing up the topic.
Before Kyran could ask Dusk if he knew why the fake Somuli Sovereign wanted Cyneah, he already began explaining.
"Apparently, the Sovereign was smitten by the Saint and her Divine Armament," Dusk explained. "From what our informants gathered, the Sovereign coveted her the first time she healed him.
"In the beginning, the Nobles could easily pressure the Saint into accepting the Sovereign's proposal, but the Abbot intervened and announced that she was already betrothed to his son. Thus, the Sovereign could not have her."
Kyran's face had always acted indifferent, but after hearing that, he froze for a split second.
