THE BLESSING

"So, what's the story here, Your Grace?"

William asked as he gave himself some stretches because as soon as he started he knew that it would take a while to be done.

So, he just asked simple questions that he just blurted out without thinking too much. William didn't really expect to get the answer from Hugh.

However, much to his expectation, what the Northern Duke shared was much from his assumptions.

"She needs blessings from the Goddess."

With that kind of direct explanation that Hugh gave, William abruptly looked at him, surprised as well as speechless.

Because that alone gives him a lot of explanations and conclusions. He could also form theories inside his head.

"Wait… Is she a witch? Did you find a witch, Your Grace? Do you know what will happen when the Church learns about this?!"

"Isn't she supposed to be a citizen of this land? Well, specifically the North? But why does she still need blessings?" William added.
