❝ They speak heresy ! ❞
Validar roared. He pointed an accusatory index finger at the heretics who’d knelt in front of him. Validar’s nostrils flared at the sight of Layla. She didn’t need to hear ! Layla was due any day now. It was unacceptable to spread such venomous nonsense — LORD help him if anything went wrong with her pregnancy — ! ! !
❝ Burn the heretic ! ❞
