Having gloriously become the Silver Witch Church's saintess, Lucia's life saw no new arrangements. She still had to follow her teacher every day to study Rune Studies, along with those mathematics lessons that made her head spin.
But there was nothing to be done about that. After all, the Silver Witch Church had only just begun and did not even have a temple yet. Even if they wanted to do something, there was nothing to be done.
As for Ivette, after remotely supervising the construction of the temple in Root Village through Faith Magic, she welcomed a new guest the following day.
It was a sweltering afternoon, yet the reception room of The Old Oak Inn was pleasantly cool. A magic array quietly operated, dispelling the summer heat. Ivette did not wait long before the door was gently pushed open and a tall woman entered. Her heels landed on the thick carpet with only the faintest muffled sound.
"Good day, honored holder of the Councilor's Card. I am Lailanier Wills, regional director of the Free Alliance. It is a great honor to meet you for the first time." The woman's voice was clear. As she spoke, she placed her right hand lightly before her waist and gave Ivette a slight bow.
Ivette examined her carefully and found that she was a tall Half-Elf. Her long flaxen hair, clearly different from that of a pure-blooded Elf, was tied into a ponytail with a ribbon. She wore a high-collared burgundy long coat with an excellent cut over a white shirt, along with straight-cut trousers of the same color and material. She gave off a practical, capable impression.
What was worth noting was that despite the blazing midsummer heat outside, she had entered dressed like this without a bead of sweat on her.
