Summary
Sian went to the temple to break off her engagement with the fiancé who had deceived her.
She sought help from the man who looked as if he were the very master of the temple.
And then, he demanded:
“Remember this.”
For the sake of breaking the engagement,
“Salvation is granted only to those who strive for it.”
She would have to endure everything.

O God. Please, do not let this lamb fall into temptation, and grant me the strength to overcome all this tribulation…
He observed the princess in prayer.
Her unfaithful prayer was never meant to reach the divine.
But then again, who could say?
As he watched the princess caught within the snare, his own body began to lean toward the trap.
Without even realizing it himself.
