“What’s okay?”
Noktavius had been saying incomprehensible words for a while now, but strangely, Ermeldine found tears welling up at his calm voice. A feeling that everything might truly be okay. She could endure the gazes of the other priests who were scrutinizing her to some extent.
“I apologize for the rudeness in our first meeting… Being in the temple after a long time, emotions overwhelmed me.”
As expected, it was futile. The openly mocking laughter of the priests echoed painfully in her ears. However, Noktavius still retained a warm smile on his face.
“This is a place where gods are revered. No need for apologies based on feelings.”
“I see.”
‘Luckily, he won’t die. It’s genuinely fortunate that I won’t have to kill him.’
Although they had just met briefly, the mere presence of Noktavius made Ermeldine feel a sense of clarity in her soul. She understood why this elderly man was the high priest. He emitted a refreshing aura, unlike the ordinary priests filled with resentment towards her.
Trying to suppress her tears and hold Noktavius’s hand, they moved towards the place he was guiding. Instead of the modest room she had seen earlier, an extravagant chamber appeared, far from what Ermeldine had expected.
“What is this?”
“This is the space where Her Majesty the Empress will stay.”
“What? Isn’t it too grand for just praying?”
Certainly, it couldn’t compare to the Empress’s palace in the imperial palace, but recalling the modest room of Noktavius she had seen earlier, Ermeldine couldn’t easily agree to using this place.
“Her Majesty the Empress is not a disciple of the gods, isn’t that right? Since the maids who came with you will also stay here, please make use of this spacious area.”
“Ah…”
Ermeldine wanted to ask if Valier had also stayed in this room, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak. While she was feeling awkward about what to do, an annoying voice was heard.
“Why, is this room too shabby for Her Majesty the Empress?”
With a slight frown, Ermeldine turned her gaze, and there was Arvian, whose seemingly pure and white appearance didn’t match his despicable facial expression at all.
Although she had felt it a little while ago, he was truly a person who made an unpleasant expression that didn’t suit his pretty face.
‘In the original work, he appeared somewhat unpleasant, but not to this extent…’
In response to Arvian’s excessively cheesy remarks, Ermeldine was at a loss for words. However, a vulgar voice was heard before the situation escalated further.
“Why is this, huh? Why has this parrot been chirping like that since a while ago? Is he really a priest? Both his speech and facial expressions are so fake!”
At the provocative statement of outspoken Luni, Ermeldine, as well as Arvian, had wide-opened eyes.
“L-Luni…”
“A priest, huh! He even dares to disrespect Her Majesty the Empress! Ignoring me is fine, but disrespecting Her Majesty the Empress is not allowed!”
“Disrespect? Do you know how much Her Majesty the Empress has done to end the epidemic? You fool!”
“Ugh!”
Before the words became more intense, Ermeldine desperately covered Luni’s mouth with her hand.
“Please stop.”
“I don’t want to! This little brat keeps disrespecting Her Majesty the Empress! It’s fine to ignore me, but Her Majesty the Empress is unacceptable!”
“Little brat? I… I didn’t even know she was behind me because she’s so small. Where did this ignorant fool…”
“Enough!”
This time, Noktavius interrupted Arvian’s words.
‘What’s going on during our first meeting? It’s completely ruined!’
While Ermeldine looked serious, Noktavius maintained his relaxed attitude.
“Apologize to Her Majesty.”
“What?”
“Apologize immediately.”
Even Arvian, who seemed to have a strong personality, couldn’t resist the mentor’s words and immediately lowered his tail and bowed his head.
“I apologize for the rudeness.”
Although Arvian’s shoulders sagged as if all the energy had drained out, his eyes still contained full venom, like looking at a small dog that hadn’t calmed down even after being scolded by its owner.
“Luni, you apologize too.”
When Ermeldine gave a signal, Luni, as if reluctantly, slouched his shoulders, put strength into his eyes, and apologized while staring at Arabian.
“I’m sorry.”
Luni, with deep blond hair, resembled a small yellow dog.
‘Even though these little ones act like this, they’re still cute.’
“All right, for today, that should be enough. Unpack your belongings and take a break until dinner. Formal prayers can begin tomorrow.”
Noktavius, still forcefully pulling the leash of the puppy that hadn’t calmed down, disappeared while offering a warm eye greeting.
Ermeldine, still holding onto the leash of the still-temperamental puppy, awkwardly caught his eye with a forced smile.
“Luni, I apologize for the first meeting.”
Rather than reflecting on Ermeldine’s words, Luni widened his eyes even more.
“He was rude first!”
“Him… being a priest…”
“Whether he’s a priest or not, it doesn’t matter! If he acts disrespectfully towards Her Majesty, I won’t tolerate it!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
