I touched the book using my tiptoes, looking at it anxiously.

However, just like any ordinary book, it didn’t respond.

The scene just now was so unreal that maybe it was just a trick of the light.

“What is it!”

My fingertips were still prickly.

After shouting like that, I touched the book carefully, this time with my hand. Fortunately, there wasn’t a response again.

“...What the. What kind of book is this. Why even make me nervous?”

Of course, the book didn’t reply even as I talked harshly at it. Then, I heard a knock on the door.

“Princess, are you ready? The high priest has already arrived!”

“I’ll be out in a second!”

It’s already time.

I couldn’t keep the high priest waiting. Hesitating for a moment, I snatched up the book 〈 Dawn of the Full Moon 〉 from the floor.

Again, fortunately, it didn’t show that same phenomenon as before. I left the room, carrying my luggage with me.

It was the room I’ve been living in all this time, but I turned my back without any regrets and headed outside.

It was time for me to enter the temple.

“Noonim!”

Lisandro, who was waiting outside, hugged me right away the moment I stepped out.

He couldn’t come into my room earlier because of my request to be alone, so he’s been waiting outside my door all this time.

“Uwaah! Noonim don’t leave... I, I’ll study harder and train harder so I can protect you... Can’t you just stay...?”

I hugged Lisandro back as he bawled so hard that he couldn’t breathe, patting him on the back.

“People are going to think I’m going to some faraway place.”

The temple readily agreed to the proposal my mother and I drew up.

But it’s true that it would be hard to change the temple all at once.

I thought this would be the case, so I didn’t expect anything to change all at once. Accepting my mother’s terms was enough for now.

From what Mother said, the members of the temple were truly blind to God and to fellow men that they truly were like angels without wings.

On top of that, they said they would trust me and let me do what I want...

Did they ever mention that in the novel? I’m not really sure because there wasn’t much said about Yurenia.

As I tilted my head to the side, I thought about it some more, but I couldn’t recall anything, so I quickly gave up.

“Not coming home for a while is the same as going far away!”

To be honest, I thought that the mansion would be a safer place for me rather than the weakened temple.

But Mother said it would be much safer to be in the temple.

The temple is said to be protected by the holy grounds that the saint had blessed, so it should be a place that could protect me from any threats.

Certainly, the book also said something about those who entered the temple without permission to try and kidnap the saint were punished by the heavens.
