Chapter 259: Chapter 252. Gilded Lily

Just because Zein wanted to, didn't mean he could just go up to the Temple. 

In the first place, he was supposed to stay hidden for the time being. And him being literally on the Temple's bad side made an official visit a tricky business. Generally not a good idea.

Even Radia had to sit still for a good while to contemplate all the risks and calculate what he needed to do for them to thread on this safely. However much he loved these two, he couldn't afford to make a jeopardizing move. The fate of Trinity and even Mortix was hanging in the balance, and he couldn't sacrifice hundreds of people just to satiate one man's jealousy--even if that man had no idea how to spell the 'J' in jealousy. 

All the while, the only thing Zein could do was watch Radia finish three golden needles before finally, the older man got up and told him to wait in the annex. Once again, Radia walked to the main house, and when he got back, a white robe was in his hand.
