Aliyah was invited by the priest to the Church of Wisdom. She visibly hesitated so the other thought it was due to the assassination attempt on her life a month ago. But that was not actually the case.
The man put some effort into reassuring her safety with the church's knight, simply unaware that she was totally not interested in meeting whoever got captured by them.
She couldn't tell him this reason though, right?
"I'm sorry, Reverend. I've been feeling a little under the weather these past few days... I would have loved to go with you to the church, but... *insert drama and excuses*."
Nope… She sadly couldn't say that because her mother, the Viscountess, popped up at one point in their conversation. The older lady was a pious believer of the Goddess of Wisdom so she wouldn't tolerate any form of disrespect towards the church of its priests.
