"The fox clan has always been close to the Moon Goddess, and as the princess of the clan, there's no way I couldn't feel the divinity radiating all over you." Her tone carried the weight of ancient knowledge, matter-of-fact and unwavering.
"If you already knew that," Marcus asked, his brow furrowing in confusion, "then why did you try to kill me earlier?"
