บท 371: The Warning

After that test in the grand hall, the three of us, Estelle included, were led to the inner sanctum. We talked for a bit after they introduced some key figures in the cathedral and corresponding head disciples of temples within the grounds. They also briefed us on what would happen in the upcoming ceremony and how it will go.

They are planning to debut us all together in public. Meaning, our faces will be shown to all the citizens of Rosenthal as three holy maidens, with Sera as the principal figure as the saintess.

My somewhat peaceful— no, who am I kidding? My life was never peaceful.

But anyway, the slight peace and freedom I have will completely disappear.
