Episode 44.7 (1/2)

On the third of month six, Eda visited Ceres Temple, offered her prayer to God Ceres, and cast

on the temple head as well as a patient of the temple's choosing.

A surprising amount of people had gathered there.

Even townlords and priests from neighboring town came. And the biggest surprise was the presence of Marlia Fotos dispatched by the capital's Ceres Temple.

Marlia begrudgingly ranted on Norma. Complaining why Norma didn't accept Pentaros Fotos's proposal. But then as she continued on with her rant, she came to her own conclusion that Lecan was a much better partner for Norma.

Then she started deliriously making a fervent speech on how Lecan's and Norma's child should absolutely enter priesthood.

Norma nonchalantly implied how Pentaros has been scheming to take revenge on Lecan behind the scenes.

Marlia seethed with rage and promised that she would give Pentaros and the current head of Fotos a stern warning. Come to think of it, Amamir said something about how not even the head of Fotos Marquisate could go against this zealous woman.

Lecan made a huge amount of mana restoratives in the previous month, and Norma suggested to gift ten of them to Marlia. Marlia leaped and danced in joy, literally. Then after giving praises to the townlord, temple and Lecan, she went right back to the capital.

By the way, the vice temple head brought orphanage children to Lecan after the purification ceremony. Lecan almost found himself agreeing to come with the children to the orphanage as they surrounded him if not for Eda soothing them.

He made a visit to Chaney Company, but Chaney was out for a business at Vantaroy.

And so he finished everything he needed to do including making a mountain heap of mana restoratives.

It's finally time to take another shot at Dungeon Palcimo. Lecan and Eda left Vouka with Norma seeing them off.

”Ah, damn.”

”What's wrong, Lecan?”

”I forgot to give Jericho the dragon's meat I saved for him.”

”Lecan. Longarm Apes don't eat meat, you know.”

”W...what.”

Norma was enjoying tea with a blank stare once Lecan and Eda left.

Town of Vouka feels as if it's lost its lights to her once Lecan left.

The tea Jinga brewed even seemed flavorless.

It hit her like a carriage how much she loved Lecan before she realized.
