After a few seconds, Dimitri inhaled deeply as he said slowly and in a serious tone, "Ioannis, Kayden, that is not the issue here. She did not count Laerad, that tree deity. She purposely said deified ones and humans. That already comprises seventeen people. Remember she asked us earlier if we wanted to know how many there were in total? It means, she did not include the non-humans yet."
I knew it. Dimitri never disappoints when it comes to these things.
After saying his piece, Dimitri held on to his forehead as if nursing a headache and he exhaled a shaky breath. I saw Ioannis grip tightly on to the sheets covering my bed, his eyes turning red but he chose not to say anything. As for Kayden, he hissed and cursed under his breath.
