Chapter 66: Instruction

"You might see Ladies of the Goddess leaving the temple but that's only because we're always careful and we have enough power to protect ourselves. Apprentices don't and servants, even less!"

"This is why eating outside the temple is forbidden! Trusting any man or woman is also forbidden even if they're your bond or your guard! We're Blesseds and the moment you are no longer bound by the price you paid, in any form, you'll lose your powers," Lady Farona said, allowing her words to sink in, in the silence that pervaded the room.

"But what if we get pregnant after being with our bond?" Molija, who was usually quiet and never spoke, suddenly raised her hands to ask, with a slightly worried expression on her face.
