This was truly the last hope Kaito was left with and it left an ironic taste inside his mouth. In essence, this was a place that was not under his rule at all during his past life - perhaps, the only exception to his cruelty in his past life.
The temple was built as a sign of respect to the ancestral gods, the dragon and the phoenix which shared their powers with every living creature. As such, the head priest held almost the same authority in the eyes of people.
It was an enigma to everyone, a place that accepted everyone and yet no one knew what secrets it actually held.
Kaito avoided it on purpose, Jess's own dislike for this place rubbing off on him but Noah had liked it enough to be asked to assign here after he had been freed.
While he still served in the royal palace, Kaito was sure that his loyalty to this place had been bigger than to the one he had with the crown. Maybe that's why he became a guardian deity after Kaito's death.
