Even mentioning something like this was forbidden as it could only attract her wrath. That was why the Archbishop was so hesitant when mentioning it, worried about getting punished.
If it wasn't because the Priestess asked him to report everything of significance related to the Guests, he would never have mentioned it.
"There's no need for that. Let those beasts do what they please. It's none of my concern. Just finish the preparation for departure." The Holy Priestess didn't turn back towards the Archbishop, her gaze remaining on the moon outside.
She simply waved her hand, sending the Archbishop flying out of her room.
The Archbishop slammed against the wall in the corridor. Even though he only answered her because she asked, it didn't mean that he wasn't going to get punished for mentioning such vile things.
Placing his hand on his aching back, the Archbishop stood up while the door to the room of the Priestess closed.
The Archbishop respectfully bowed in the direction of the room before leaving to check up on the progress on the connection formation.
....
The Holy Priestess, after coming across Eren's disgusting aura and now hearing about his questionable actions, found herself at a crossroads with him.
Her opinion of him had already soured, leaving her disinterested in observing him any longer. She had no interest in watching a man play around in bed.
Meanwhile, the Archbishop was engrossed in completing the formation with the artificers. Both he and the Priestess were so distracted that they failed to notice the alarming disappearance of several guards.
These guards were unable to alert others before meeting their deaths.
Their deaths went undetected by the Holy Priestess, as the guards possessed only a faint trace of the holy blessing, far below Archbishop Nathaniel's level of awareness.
The Sea Dragon Empress opened her eyes narrowly, taking a glance at Eren who was a completely different person now.
Not just this aura but his entire presence was different. Even as the Sea Dragon Empress, she could not form any link between the two.
That's why there was no hatred in her eyes that was present for Ren Necroline when she saw him.
Looking at the reaction of the Sea Dragon Empress, Eren also sighed in relief inwardly. It appeared as if his disguise had worked. He was able to fool her.
The Sea Dragon Empress had a lot of questions in her eyes but she could not ask them as her mouth was closed to prevent her from using the Dragon Tongue.
"I understand that you don't know me. However, I am here to save you. I have already taken out the Guards here, but I'm not sure how long we have until we are discovered," Eren told the Sea Dragon Empress while looking at the lock of the cell.
Although the Sea Dragon Empress couldn't speak, her gaze made her thoughts clear. She was curious as to why someone would help her to the point that he would go against the Holy Priestess?
In the back of her kind, she even wondered if it was a trap set by the Holy Priestess. How else could someone get here with such ease, especially since the area was under the observation of the Sea Dragon Empress?
Eren already expected this question. That's why he already had an answer prepared. However, he didn't have to utter his answer. He simply showed that answer with her actions.
He whispered a few words while touching the bar.
Instantly, the lock was open. At the same time, the eyes of the Holy Priestess widened in disbelief. That was definitely Dragon Tongue!
She was even more shocked as the Dragon Tongue that Eren used was elementary yet more powerful and pure. Normally, a Sea Dragon more experienced than Eren couldn't open that door with just Dragon Tongue.
It was also when Eren used the Dragon Tongue that she was able to feel his Dragon Bloodline. With such close proximity, she was even more clear about it than anything else.
It was the purest Bloodline that she had ever seen, even more pure than the Royal Bloodline! This Bloodline was closer to the Celestial Dragon Bloodline than the branched Royal Sea Dragon Bloodline!
