My lips dropped in utter shock
"Y-your maiden?" I asked, confused as to what they were referring to.
The high priestess looked at me, her face still solemn.
I realized I had blurted in the middle of a ritual and looked down at the floor.
"His maiden." The high priestess said to me.
"W-who me?" I asked in surprise.
"But of course." She said. "I see no one else around."
"No, he just brought me because I couldn't walk well," I said.
The man coughed, and then I realized what I had said.
"N-no, I don't mean I couldn't walk because of anything we did. I just." I realized I was talking too much, so I stopped and took a deep breath. "He was just assisting me. I'm not the maiden."
