After ending the phone call with Great Swamp, Kieran didn't depart for Flame City right away.
He still had some things to take care of.
The night was getting darker.
The evening feast in the temple was reaching its end.
Without Kieran at the feast, it was like the God of Forest City was absent from the occasion.
The feast was determined to be merrier without the God, the guests raised their glasses with smiles and idle chatter, different classes of people were mingling, mixing around.
This was the exact goal of a feast, to express compliance and to expand social networks.
Morden's face blushed as if he was the dinner's main character.
Of course, it was just a saying.
The real main character was absent, thus the support characters were mingling, chatting with the other noteworthy people in the corner of the hall.
