Javier picked up a thick, juicy slice from his own plate and took a generous bite. His eyes lit up.
"Mmm… delicious as always," he said, smiling at Liana and Gloria.
Liana gave a soft smile. Gloria looked pleased.
Javier spoke again in calm voice.
"Let's just hope those beliefs don't start spreading inside Armand. You both remember what they did to that village, right?" He chewed slowly.
"They burned it. Called the people devil worshippers just because they refuse to join their believe. They killed everyone."
The smile faded from Gloria's lips. Liana's gaze darkened.
Javier continued, voice lowering.
"And Kenjirou…" His hand tightened slightly around the wooden plate. "The so-called 'hero' who slipped into our land with his party. Who claimed to fight for justice. Fight for true belief."
He paused.
"But they burned one of our villages to the ground. Slaughtered every man, woman, and child. Not even a baby left alive. All while saying it was the will of the gods."
