Liam knew exactly who it was. It was the same Blood Prince guy. Was he and the priestess in some sort of relationship? Considering how fucked up everyone involved seemed to be, Liam couldn't exactly rule it out. Not that it mattered to him.
Xerathuna's reaction only made him more curious. The panic that had begun creeping into her expression disappeared almost immediately, replaced first by surprise and then to fake happiness?
Liam could only stare in shock as he watched the high and mighty priestess turn into a damsel in distress in a single second.
If Liam hadn't personally watched her screaming about insignificant rats while trying to murder him less than a minute ago, he might actually have believed that she was some graceful celestial maiden welcoming her beloved after a long separation.
The Blood Prince appeared to be enjoying every second of it.
Liam almost respected the shamelessness.
