Chapter 71
After Cayena closed the prayer room door, her body staggered with each step.
She was not completely recovered.
Carelessness was not allowed.
She forced her legs out of the hall and into the prayer room.
“I still can’t relax.”
Cayena acted as if nothing had happened.
Coming out of the narrow passage into the prayer room, his field of vision widened.
The colored light coming through the stained glass window made her slightly dizzy.
She saw a high priest with glasses carefully reading something in that light.
Cayena opened her red lips and let out a clear voice.
“Father Danian.
The priest raised his head with a soft smile.
“Did I tell you my given name?
He never said that.
Cayena only knew his name because she had read the novel.
She turned to Father Danian with a faint smile.
“I hope my donation helps this temple.
“God's grace will reach Your Highness.
“In that case, can I assume you prepared an attachment for me?
At Cayena's request, Father Danian responded with great embarrassment.
“I'm afraid it's not suitable for Your Highness because it's in poor condition…
“Whether it’s Grand Chamberlain Luden or Father Danian, all the old men in this city are cunning.”
How much money have noble ladies donated here since this temple became known as miraculous?
It wouldn't have been a lot of work to fix the annex with that kind of money.
However, the temple had very few priests and servants.
The annex was abandoned so that no one would try to use it.
Everything was calculated to prevent people from remaining in the temple.
“This is what they need to do to hide Bayel’s presence.”
“Do I look like someone who doesn't understand the dignity of this temple?
Father Danian's lips stretched as he understood what she meant.
She was saying that she would ignore the strangeness and pretend it was because the temple had no money; in return, he was to hand over the attachment.
Cayena laughed innocently, thinking that her expression looked very pretty.
“Then I'll take you to an annex.
Cayena walked alongside Father Danian.
Her attendants, who were waiting in the lobby, followed her.
The knights were agitated because their footsteps turned towards the temple annex rather than the carriage.
“Aren't you returning to the imperial palace, Your Highness?
Cayena replied casually: — Can my prayers reach God with a single day of prayer?
The knights looked quite embarrassed.
Cayena mercifully said, “Pass through the imperial palace and gear up.
“Thanks.
Cayena returned to the annex in the back.
“What will you eat during your stay?
Temple meals were unsuitable for the imperial family.
It would make much more sense for the princess to go to a restaurant and pay with gold coins for each meal.
“I will eat the temple food.
Father Danian seemed surprised, perhaps because he received a different answer than he expected.
“You don't need to do anything special.
Just make sure there are no nuts in it.
“We will prepare your meals as ordered.
When Father Danian arrived at the annex's entrance, he politely said goodbye to her and returned to the temple.
Cayena's maid stepped forward, opened the door, looked inside, and waited for Cayena to enter.
“Jan.
The servant she called raised her head.
Her expression showed that she didn't expect Cayena to know her name.
“You can use that room.
And I don't have an appetite, so you can eat alone.
Jan nodded to let her know she heard.
“You don't have to wait for me.
Come when I call you.
Cayena, now alone in the room, exhaled.
As a person who spent several nights alone, his head was sore and tired.
Cayena took off her clothes as if she were tearing them and fell onto the bed.
She raised her hands.
Then, a strange energy swept across his fingers.
It was a new sensation she had never felt before: the power of magic.
The tips of Cayena's mouth lifted.
“It's a great success.
Her hands fell limply and she sank deep into unconsciousness.
Scene 13.
The Proposal of a Devil in the Form of an Angel
Rezef was safely reinstated in his position.
The authority of internal affairs was transferred back to him, and Rezef ordered Madame Dotty to prepare to enter the palace soon.
“As the weather is hot, would you like to wear something light?
Rezef isHe was being dressed by his servants to go out.
“Right.
He tied his hair neatly, resembling a field of gold, and wore a white silk shirt.
His appearance was excellent and his figure was good, so just a touch-up made him look amazing.
The servants who looked at him thought he was as handsome as Cayena.
It was a shame that his personality wasn't more normal.
“Your Highness, a messenger has just entered, requesting a private audience.
“Let him in.
He sent all the servants, leaving only the messenger who asked to meet him alone.
“Report.
The escort knight was also Rezef's secret assistant.
He had just returned from his mission to deal with Clarence Elivan.
“As you ordered, that woman's murder was disguised as suicide.
The tone was so calm that it could make a person sick.
His attitude showed that this was a family feat, that this type of murder had not been committed just once or twice.
Upon receiving his subordinate's report, Rezef donned a jacket with gold threads and matching accessories.
The attendant continued, a little tensely: — However, there were people watching Clarence El Bordivan.
It was impossible to fabricate a suicide note because they arrived at the scene too early.
Rezef thought about accenting his outfit with ruby or peridot for today.
Ruby wasn't good because it reminded him of Raphael's eyes.
It would be better to use peridot.
“They ran after me, but fortunately, I drove them away before entering the capital.
After finishing his preparation, Rezef checked his appearance with a mirror.
Although he still looked young, he didn't look weak, thanks to his height of 185 cm and his toned body from constant training.
He said to the attendant: — Do you know why the carpet in my room is always scarlet or black?
At the unexpected comment, the attendant inadvertently looked at the floor.
He could see that the carpet had ornate black patterns on a red background.
Rezef smiled coldly.
“It's to deal with useless insects like you at any time with my own hands.
Chwaak—!
Rezef drew the sword from his waist and cut the attendant's neck.
Blood soaked the carpet.
He looked at the mirror again.
Red blood was now smeared on the white shirt.
“That's why I don't wear white clothes often.
He clicked his tongue and called his other servants.
They recoiled at the sight of the corpse, but skillfully rolled it into the carpet.
“Call one of my advisors.
“Yes, Your Highness.
His assistant arrived while he was changing his bloody shirt.
“Did you call me, Your Highness?
Seeing all the servants pick up the corpse and leave, Rezef opened his mouth.
“How is my father's condition?
The adjutant lowered his head.
“The doctor says your energy has decreased rapidly these days.
He spends many more days with his eyes closed.
“It will be soon.
The adjutant bowed even more at the indifferent response.
“Also, I heard that my sister suddenly went to a temple.
“Yes.
After seeing Raphael, his sister suddenly went to their father and went straight to the temple.
His behavior was difficult to understand.
“Which temple did she go to?
“I heard it's an old temple near the slums on the outskirts of the capital.
“Why did she go to that temple instead of a cathedral or something?
A little embarrassed, the advisor replied: — This temple is acclaimed among noble ladies for helping them have children.
Rezef's eyebrows furrowed.
Children?
What the hell was that?
The advisor added: — He is also famous for helping to arrange good marriages.
“There is.
He scoffed at the absurdity.
He felt a little irritated.
Her sister's desire for marriage seemed considerable.
Rezef shook his head.
As her only sister, Cayena was more suited to stay within the imperial palace.
“All good.
For now, I'm going out.
Rezef was thinking about meeting Catherine Lindbergh today.
