The meeting location was in the **Sanctum District,** a heavily guarded area of the capital where only high-ranking nobles and priests were allowed.


    I arrived at **midnight.**


    A hooded priest stood waiting for me at the entrance of an old chapel.


    **"Lucian von Kaiser?"**


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.


    I smirked. **"Depends. Who’s asking?"**


    The priest ignored my remark and gestured for me to follow.


    We entered the chapel, moving through its dimly lit corridors until we reached a **hidden chamber.**


    Inside, several high-ranking figures of the **Holy Church** were seated around a large table.


    One of them was a **cardinal.**


    And another…


    Was **Saintess Aurelia.**


    Aurelia, the most beloved figure of the church. A **holy maiden** blessed with divine power.


    She was also **one of the Seven Prodigies.**


    She turned to me, her golden eyes unreadable.


    **"Lucian von Kaiser.


    We need your help."**


    What? Too much for first meeting.**
