Of course, Kiho was with her the entire time to help her calm down. Sadly, he was only allowed until the entrance of the temple.

”Honey, stay strong,” Kiho whispered while caressing her face between his hands. Then, he kissed her forehead. ”I'm staying near the temple. If you quit, I'll fetch you right away.”

”Having you stay near the temple makes me feel safer,” Tilly said, hugging Kiho tight and sniffing his manly scent that she loved. She would miss him even if she was only supposed to stay in the temple for three days. She wanted to engrave every inch of him in her mind. ”Winter and I will hurry back to you, Kiho.”

AFTER TILLY was ushered inn a chamber inside the temple by a priestess named Lilly, she was asked to change clothes.

Unlike what she was used to, she didn't have any maids to assist her in changing clothes in the temple. Not that she minded. Taking off her light dress was easy even for a pregnant woman like her.

And wearing the plain long-sleeved white dress was easy. Instead of boots or fancy shoes, the dress was paired with flat ballet shoes.

Oh, the outfit they gave me is very comfortable.

The chamber that she would be using for her stay was also smaller compared to her room in the mansion. But it was spacious enough for one person. It also had all she needed: bed, a small tea room, a balcony, and her very own toilet and bathroom.

I kind of like it here.

Also, she was glad that the staff there didn't confiscate her belongings unlike what Luna told her. They simply reminded her that she couldn't wear any piece of jewelry except her wedding ring. After that, they helped her bring her belongings inside her room.

I'm yet to meet the High Priest though.

She was testing how soft the mattress was when she heard a knock. Then, a few moments later, the door opened and Lilly entered the room. She noticed that the priestess was holding a tray that had a cup of tea on it.

”Lady Nystrom, please drink this tea before we begin our lesson. The tea we make here is good for the health, especially for pregnant women like you,” Lilly said in a soft and gentle tone while placing the tray on the night table. ”We will teach you what you need to do for the following days. Once you're done drinking the tea, you may go out and join us.”

”Okay, Miss Lilly,” she said with a smile. ”Thank you.”

After Lilly left the room, she stood up and drank the tea.

As soon as she had taken a sip, she felt dizzy. She dropped the cup on the floor while her body started to fall on the ground as well.

Ah, she should have been more careful.

Damn it, Tilly said when she felt her body hit the cold floor. I didn't expect them to attack as soon as I arrived!

HOWARD was shaking while holding Lady Nystrom's wrist.

He secretly put a sleeping pill in her tea and sneaked in her room to do his job. To be honest, he didn't want to do this to a guest. Much more to a pregnant woman. But Emperor Aku would surely destroy the church if he didn't do as he was told.

Please forgive me, Lady Nystrom. I just need a drop of your blood.

Howard swallowed hard, then in one swift movement, his hand moved to slash her palm with the dagger that he was holding.

He was expecting blood to come out of the duchess's hand but instead…

… a bright red flame suddenly came out from her wound!

He gasped when he realized that the flame was about to burn him. But for some reason, a thin layer of ice started to come out from Lady Nystrom's body and literally froze him in his place. How come the duchess could use ice when she was supposed to be a Fire Mage?

Unfortunately, he didn't have the time to think about it when the red flame grew bigger and was about to burn him alive.

Howard could only scream in fear. ”Please no!”
