"No, ordinary people can't visit the Temple. Among us, only Commander and few other Nobles can," the man answered.
At that, Seraphine had the urge to roll her eyes. Even the Temple sought after the influential. No wonder the religion wasn't widespread across the country.
Seraphine did read about how the Temple wants to keep it's surroundings pure and all that. However, if that were to be the case, the person selected wouldn't be based on status.
Status has nothing to do with how darkened one might be.
Nonetheless, Seraphine made no comment on how power hungry the Temple was and spoke out, "What name do you go by, Sir Knight? Of course, if you aren't displeased to answer that."
"Certainly not." The Knight chuckled. "You can call me Daniel Chizer. My rank isn't that high among other personal knights of Commander Clementis.
Nonetheless, I am
"Repay the favour?" Seraphine questioned raising one of her eyebrows. "Ah! Your land, so your snow. Is that how it works here?"She received no reply from Kayden and carried on, "Commander Clementis, my life belongs to you. How about it? I will do anything you like.""Keep that in mind," he stated.With that, Kayden began to step forward, and a wide grin formed on Seraphine's face before she questioned, "So, am I allowed to play or not?""Do as you wish."Hearing that from him caused Seraphine's eyes to sparkle, and as for the promise made to Kayden, she didn't worry much about it, trusting the man to not do anything unjust to her.There's nothing of use Kayden can take from her, and moreover, she was grateful to him. Being under his presence worked as protection for her. She was well aware how she would be long dead if it wasn't for him taking
This was the second time she was meeting Noah after changing bodies. Conflicting emotions rose in her while she observed the man. Last time, she wasn't able to properly watch him.Despite his age, the man was still attractive. In fact, it felt as if the time added more charm to him. Given that now she was Seraphine, she would've praised on his everlasting handsome face.Just as Seraphine felt Noah's eyes on her, she instantly turned away her gaze. It was mostly instinctive on her part.When she finally looked back to him, he no longer paid attention to her and exchanged greetings with Kayden prior to sitting beside him.The two of them started to discuss matters. Everything was strictly business, and only few parts of it was something Seraphine was able to understand.The condition at the North was terrible after the recent war, and Kayden came here to distribute th
Those words of his caused Seraphine's lips to part while she gripped on to the material of the couch tightly. No matter how she tried to hold in her emotions, not direct her thoughts towards her family, it was impossible.The Vougeious is a huge part of her, and thinking about the condition her brother was in made her heart clench painfully. What was worse that she couldn't see or confirm his health on her own?Previously, it was her who rushed off to each of her siblings' side when they were sick— most likely due to her busybody personality— and now she was incapable of checking up on Clayton.This hit her hard and upsetted her. Tears were starting to well up in her eyes, and in order to prevent anyone from noticing them, she began to force happy thoughts in her mind.She decided to start thinking randomly. However, nothing could help distract her mind, and her attention kept on ge
Seraphine's jaw dropped. What was with timing having everything against her? Although she couldn't recall the contents of her conversation that day with Hamilton, what she was sure of none of that should have been heard by Noah."Oh," that's all Seraphine could say. "I apologize.""You needn't," he voiced out, "You awfully remind me of someone."Seraphine wondered whether that someone existed or Noah wanted to get information out of her. Her brain was tired of trying to figuring these puzzles out. Why can't everyone be straightforward?"How was that person?" Seraphine inquired."Smart yet foolish— at least she knew how to live happily. I wonder if she is feeling the same right now. That's enough for me," he said prior to a sigh escaping from his lips.The mood went down, and Seraphine could feel, although Noah was smiling, he was depressed at this momen
Kayden's pair of eyes that looked at her at this moment was very intense. Her breath felt as if it was snatched away."Staying by someone until the end," he confessed.Seraphine blinked her eyes, trying to process his words. Then, this made her curious on who that person was, and thinking about possible options got bitterness to settle in her chest.Nonetheless, Seraphine prevented those unpleasant emotions from displaying on her features and raised her thumb."That's so romantic!" she exclaimed."Is that what you think?" Kayden questioned.Seraphine nodded. That was a line out of a romance novel— one that made both the heart of female lead and readers' melt."Say, Sir Kayden, who is this lucky lady?" Seraphine probed, curiosity present in her eyes."Guess," he answered.Seraphin
Seraphine's eyes fell on Kayden who had just come from shower, and she averted them immediately. These days taking in his half-naked appearance without being flustered was little too hard for Seraphine."Nothing much," Seraphine answered, "I was reading through this letters and slightly frustrated. That is all."Kayden nodded prior to getting dressed. Following that, he got on the bed and looked through the documents.Seraphine found her eyes being drawn to the man. It was a basic human nature to appreciate the beautiful, and Kayden's profile right now perfectly fit that category."Commander Clementis, will you be busy over this period of time?" Seraphine questioned."Somewhat," he responded."Then, wouldn't it better to leave me at here? I doubt I would be of any help regardless of how you phrase," Seraphine voiced out."It would b
Kayden suggested to have a duel with her. According to him, it was because he wanted to check out her level of skill.Initially, Seraphine thought this training would be Kayden providing her few tips here and there while she practiced on her own. Who would have thought Kayden will test her this way?Nonetheless, his words were absolute, and Seraphine saw no way of turning the man down. Sighing, she could only comply.Staring at the man in front of her, Seraphine took in a deep breath. Staying on the safe side, Seraphine decided to apply only the skills Blair was aware of.She didn't dream big. There was no hopes inside her of defeating Kayden, although it would be great if she could. Nonetheless, Seraphine preferred to keep everything realistic.Seraphine checked out his muscles carefully and was sure the man could easily overpower her barehanded even if she faced the man with a
Seraphine turned back and was greeted with the pleasant face of Daniel Chizer. Instantly, a smile appeared on her face, and she stood up.“What are you doing here?” she questioned.Although she had only talked to the man for a day, she had a feeling they would get along well and was looking forward to establishing a friendship with him given that he was alright about it.“Was called by Commander Clementis to discuss certain matters,” he responded. “Are you staying with Commander Clementis?”Seraphine nodded, and the man was amazed. She wondered how incredulous would he appear if he happened to know they shared a room as well.Not wanting to give this potential friend of hers a heart attack, she held back that detail. Intuition told her this information wouldn’t fare well with the man.“You must be impressive,” he commented.“I doubt,” she said, “I ha
