At The Temple

Stella began living in the temple once she returned to Nigellus. The temple she expected was far from the one she saw.

The temple was so grand and huge. It looked like a smaller version of the Grand Palace where the Imperial Family lived.

'Right. The temple was a hub of the Nigellus Family who were once part of the Imperial Family.'

She had to remind herself that the second most powerful family in the capital was the Nigellus Family.

After all, the second most powerful person next to the Emperor was the Grand Magus, not the Empress.

She gasped in awe when a huge regal statue of the Great Sage greeted her right at the entrance. It looked older than the sage she personally meets though. Perhaps because the sage she knew preferred how his younger self looked. Everyone bowed at his statue so she did as well.
