Chapter 66: Priestess

"I'm the priestess. I know a lot of things you don't." Lilia said, smiling at him.

Reigan then remembered that before that priestess was chosen by god, he thought before asking her about the whole of those things, but now that she spoke of it, he remembered it again.

A snort was heard behind them, coming from Roland. "Know everything? Priestess? Why would the gods choose someone like you as their interceder?"

Lilia only gave him a look. "It was upon you whether to believe it or not."

"Then show us the mark of gods, and we will believe you," Prince growled.

Reigan could feel the tense atmosphere. He had no idea why they were so worked up about the priestess thing. Little did he know, only once a century would the gods choose from Fania a priestess. It was an honor for every tribe to be chosen as one.

Reigan then saw Lilia clenched her clothes and a bit of trembling. "Guys, don't be a bully! She was still recovering, give her a break."

The two turned silent but their eyes showed anger.

"King, be careful," Roland said, then he turned his back and sat on the stone, opposite to Lilia.

Prince did the same,e. After baring his teeth on Lilia, he sat at the side. He will protect the female from Lilia if she did any funny thing.

Reigan scratched his head, then sat beside Lilia. He could still see her biting her lips, trying to control her shaking. He sighed and decided to put his arm on her shoulder. "It's okay now. You are here. You are not alone." Reigan coaxed her, hiding her face from the two beasts while speaking in a soft gentle voice.

Lilia turned stiff. She felt her eyes become sour, and her eyes felt hot. She was having a struggle but then Reigan pulled her in and rubbed her head.

It felt that the warmth from his hand traveled to her heart at this moment she felt stuffy.

No one knew how much she needed someone during those years she had suffered from being a so-called priestess. She was taken to an unknown place and suffered a lot of injustice. She was scared for those things to happen again, scared that all the freedom she currently received was just a plain joke, but she also knew that these things had their limit.

They said that being a priestess was a great honor, but it was not for her. It was not only taking away her identity but also taking away her liberty.

The tears fell on her cheeks, racing to see who would fall first, while Reigan was still shushing her.

He had no idea what happened to her, nor did he know why she was crying. It was just a part of him that wanted to take care of her and wipe her tears away. It was because he could feel a weird connection at this moment with her. Although it was fleeting, it was enough to move him.

It was as if a force told him to protect that familiarity that he could sense from her.

He also didn't mind indulging in it, because he still had some questions he could gain from her. He didn't mind giving her support, but it didn't mean he trusted her. He still never forgot the thing she had done and Camilla was a two-faced character.

If Camilla could do such, wouldn't her twin also do that?

After almost half an hour of embracing her, he felt that she had fallen asleep.

He took the mattress from his storage space and laid the deep sleeping Lilia.

"King, you should never trust her." Roland suddenly spoke after making sure that Lilia was comfortable.

Reigan only gave him a nod.

He knew that he shouldn't trust her. He also didn't trust the two beastmen. Even though the two were nice to him, he knew it was because of his charm.

If not, then why did these two stay and help him out, so he was certain it was his charm, forgetting he was still in his female beast form.

Reigan sat between the two. "Hey guys, thanks."

Prince stood up and made a gentlemanly bow toward Reigan, while his eyes showed a charming smile, giving shivered on the spine for Reigan. "I wouldn't mind helping a beautiful feline like you, over and over again," Prince said.

Reigan mouth twitch. "Hey bro, I am a male. Okay."

Prince only gave him a hum full of pampering. Obviously not believing a word that Reigan said.

Reigan rubbed his head in frustration, only to feel those ears on the top. He normally didn't touch the top of his head because of the egg, worried the little one would plaster his face on the ground. But at this moment, not only he couldn't feel the little egg, but also he could feel those fake ears.

Then he glanced at the two beastmen.

Ah, no wonder. He was beautiful even as a female beast. Tsk tsk tsk, but it was not right to keep deceiving the two.

He was about to grab the mask but a pair of claw-like hands were about to touch him, making Reigan dodged. He looked at who it was, it was Roland.

Roland glanced at him, then exhaled, while opening his hand to show the familiar-looking egg. It was just that the egg was gray, but the appearance he used to know was the same. It was the stupid little egg who makes trouble.

Reigan's heart beats wildly, taking it away from Roland's hand. "What happened?" He whispered.

"It just turned gray when it was following you," Roland said.

Reigan checked the little egg's status, showing that it was in a dormant state, with a level 50.

➖

Name: The little egg

Status: Reigan's blood-pact, dormant ⚠️

Level: 50

HP: -

MP: -

Luck: 50

Special Ability: (Unknown)

➖

Reigan clicked the inconspicuous ⚠️ sign, then glanced at the little egg with complicated eyes.

It was because of what was written on it.

➖

Dormant ⚠️

Because the host died and lowered the level, the egg entered a dead-like status. It would only be lifted up when the partner was on the same level. Failure to do so would receive a high-temperature clause.

Days left: 9 days

➖

Reigan held the egg, feeling complicated.

He died... When did that occur? And not just that, the warning notice told him that he needed to turn level 50 before 9 days.

Looking at his empty experience points and quarter of his strength and agility.

He clenched his fist, he needed to wake up the little guy, after all, it was his only way to be completely healed and able to know who he really was and be able to use his special abilities.

And for it do to so he needed to do was to level up!
