Bab 106: A Blasphemous Prayer

WHEN TILLY woke up that morning, Kiho was already gone. But his scent still lingered in the bed– a clear sign that he stayed up all night to guard her.

He really didn't wake me up after three hours, huh?

A few minutes after she woke up, the priestesses came and helped her take a bath. For that morning, she wasn't allowed to eat breakfast because she has to have an empty stomach while lighting the candle for the saint later. Apparently, the tea that she was supposed to drink at the ceremony later tastes awful that she might throw up if she was full.

Gosh, what kind of tea would that be?

Anyway, she went straight to the bath that morning. The priestesses spent hours on making sure that she was immaculate after the bath. Then, they spent more hours in doing her hair and makeup.

And finally, they put on a pristine white dress on her.
