We'll get to that after the break!

(This chapter starts in Millana's perspective)

"We are arriving now!" Lycus called from the driver's seat of the carriage. 'Damn, I haven't managed to get much out of him. I feel he's been subtly controlling the conversation to where he wants, but I can't get the reason out. No matter what, I have to figure out more about this man.' Millana had never felt so intrigued by a man before. She was on her way back from another incapable suitor's attempt to court her. She didn't understand why her father still made her go on these trips. It was worth it this time, however. She had stumbled across something very important.

The man was exceptionally strange. He had been walking down the road alone, nude as well. This forest was a dangerous place, and he walked through it nude without any display of caution at all! Then, when she saw him approaching, she had diverted her gaze as to not see what the bandits did to him. But then... after a few moments she heard the bandit who seemed to be leading them cry out in fear. It was unbelievable. He would have to be a tier IV warrior to handle that group alone, let alone without a scratch! Perhaps if he was a barbarian, but he was perfectly composed!

This man was such an enigma. With what he performed, she should be terrified of him, but she simply wasn't. Sure, she was suspicious of him, but nowhere to the degree she should be. His body was as if it was sculpted by a god, though she was embarrassed to have been caught staring. Hearing his words, it wasn't impossible for his physique to have been a blessing from his god, but then we open the biggest mystery of this man.

Moged-Ruun... She was certain. She had never heard that name once in her life. Mathew Kiegan neither. A priest with the body of a warrior, giving speeches of a new god! She would have thought him insane had it not been for him rescuing her. Not to mention the horrific prophesies he spoke of. They were simply speculations of his, she could tell they were not gained from magical foresight, but they were still frightening thoughts.

She wanted-no, needed to find out more about this man. "Ah, it seems we are arriving in Wodegta. I am sure my father would reward you for your bravery today, if you would care to accompany me the rest of the way?" She would get him into the building, and make him open up like all men did. To seduction and ****. "Surely he would provide a great feast to thank you."

Mathew gave a strange chuckle before responding, "I thank you graciously, but as a priest I could not ask for any more than you have already given. These clothes and this ride are more than enough." 'There he is with that ideals speech again. It's bullshit, no priest is this pure. Even priests are greedy at times, and all can fall to advances. So how is he so... resistant?'

"A Shame." She had difficulty hiding her disappointment. "If you ever do change your mind, I will make sure my father has proper rewards for you."

The man gave a slight nod, "I will be sure to visit the Baron eventually, you have my word." 'That will do, all you have to do is show up, me and my siblings can get you to talk, one way or another.'

The carriage came to a rolling stop before Lycus called out once again. "We have arrived within the city walls, I shall contact the guard to place these bastards in more permanent bindings, and get us a proper driver."

Mathew stood and gave a bow. "It seems it is my time to depart. I thank you graciously for the ride and wraps."

'I have to think of something, this may be my last chance to catch this man myself, and not have to share the glory with my sisters.' "It was nothing compared to your gracious rescue. Are you certain you must go? I feel so much safer in your presence." She moved to accentuate her form, trying to appeal to his weakness that all men possessed. 'I don't care how righteous you pretend to be, no one has refused this act!'

To her great surprise, the man gave an almost disappointed shake of the head. "I apologize Millana, but I must attend to my duties as a priest. I am certain you shall be safe within the walls of your father's city." She could not hide the confusion on her face as Mathew shut the door. 'What? But... how?'

Isebell too gazed at the door in awe. "He truly must be a righteous man. I have never seen anyone you used that on avoid the trap." They sat there in silence for quite awhile until the door reopened. 'Aha! he must have come back! I knew I had not failed!' Millana thought in triumph.

Her disappointment grew immensely when she saw Lycus was the one stepping into the carriage, before sitting down across from her. He looked between the two's mixture of shocked and annoyed expressions for a few moments before addressing them. "What? do I have something on my face?"

"Is this guy gay or something?!?" Millana shouted out in complete bafflement.
