204: The deal is sealed

'I need to do this. I need to go to the temple and find out the truth.'

Emma White had been grounded as soon as she had reached her home. Her father, who had been neutral this far, had suddenly decided to take harsh measures against Emma to stop her involvement with the Dirac side.

Instead, he wanted Emma to associate more with the temple and offer her support there. He had even arranged a meeting with a potential marriage partner for her even when Emma had reportedly asked him not to.

The only way for Emma to get out of her house was to make an excuse to show that she was going to the temple.

"Lady White, it is an honor to have you here with us."

The priest who had come out to greet Emma hurriedly bowed to her. Her family was a major power in the empire so it was important for the temple to treat her right.
