Aiden and Miraleth, who was still on the ground, quickly turned towards the door.
Aiden heard the sound and knew someone was definitely there, and not only there she probably heard them inside the bath. He quickly dashed towards the door and pulled it open.
In front of him was another priestess, currently on the ground holding her legs from the fall. She heard the sound of the door opening and turned towards the door.
Her jaw dropped the next moment as she saw Aiden standing in front of the door, completely naked and his dick semi-hard and dangling in front of her eyes.
She couldn’t face away and remained on the ground. Aiden knew he couldn’t stand like this waiting for her since another priestess could come in at any time, so he walked towards her.
The priestess didn’t move as Aiden held he hands and brought her to her feet. She still didn’t say a word as Aiden pulled her along till she was inside the bathroom; then he closed the door behind.
"Anna..." Miraleth said as Aiden brought her in, then she turned her head to see Miraleth standing fully clothed in the bathroom.
Her dress was a one-piece, and she didn’t have any underwear on, so it was very easy for her to slip it on while Aiden was at the door. Even though she was tired and she still felt weak in he legs, she couldn’t remain naked on the ground.
"Miraleth..." She muttered as she turned her head towards her.
"So your name is Anna, right? So, Anna were you sent to spy on me, given you stood behind the door before wanting to leave without quietly?"
"No, Your Holiness, I wasn’t sent to spy on you, nor did I try to spy on you; I simply came to inform you that the..." Anna paused again as her eyes lingered on Aiden’s body before moving downward.
Aiden was just inches away from her, and from where she was, if she pushed her body forward a little, her waist would make contact with his dick.
She couldn’t move her mouth or say a word as her eyes were glued on his shaft. Even Aiden was a little surprised; he expected her to be surprised by his size, but still she couldn’t even complete her sentence.
"My face is over here," Aiden spoke as he held her chin bringing her face upward towards him.
"I’m sorry Your Holiness. I came to inform you that the prince is on his way. I checked your room and you weren’t inside. Then I heard a strange noise and came closer. I wasn’t going to tell anyone I was simply giving Your Holiness space" Anna muttered.
"Really, well then, I’ll go get ready, you can go" Aiden spoke as he let her go then moved away from the wall blocking her.
Anna backed away a little and bowed her head before Aiden. As she raised her head once again her eyes lingered on his crotch once again before backing away and leaving the bathroom.
"I’m sorry, Your Holiness," Miraleth spoke.
"Why are you apologizing? Go get ready, and try to keep an eye on her" Aiden spoke, and Miraleth nodded before exiting the bathroom.
Aiden stepped into the bath to wash up before the prince arrived. Since the prince was close he had to rush the process. He didn’t have time to think about Anna, but given the fact that she was eyeing him like a candy, he knew there was nothing to worry about; she was going to be his next target.
Aiden didn’t take up to a minute in the bathroom; he had spent too much time so he had to rush. Soon he was back in the room; he quickly put on his underwear, and then the robe on his bed before walking out of the room.
Aiden walked through the hallway, passing through the princesses’ quarters. Most of the girls were already out but a few of them were in the bathroom. Aiden could see them as the bathroom door was opened, but he didn’t look inside as he continued walking.
Aiden finally arrived at the church and most of the priestesses were there. Some of them were still making sure the church was clean, but as Aiden stepped in, the priestess closest to the hallway saw him and immediately lowered her head.
"Your Holiness," She spoke loudly and then the rest of the priestesses stopped their cleaning and bowed their heads too.
Aiden nodded with a smile on his face. Some of the girls were still looking at him strangely, but none of them was his concern right now as he walked to the church entrance.
The morning sun had fully risen, and the streets around the church had become much livelier.
Few individuals continued to move through the city; merchants had begun opening their shops again, and soldiers could be seen patrolling every corner. Although the capital had survived the attack, the atmosphere was still heavy.
Also they were armed guards stationed in front of the church for Aiden’s safety, given how the last Head Priest was attacked the kingdom wasn’t taking any chances.
As if knowing he was ready the first carriage rolled in. Aiden stood at the entrance of the Eastern Church with his hands behind his back.
The black and gold robes of the Head Priest rested neatly on his body, while several priestesses stood behind him in two orderly lines. Miraleth and the girl Anna were still in the bathroom so they were not around. The rest of the girls remained silent, waiting for the arrival of the royal family.
Even though Aiden appeared calm, his mind was still unsettled as he had no idea why the prince was coming.
’I wonder how I should act in front of the prince. Am I supposed to bow or is he supposed to bow?’
[Just act naturally. You’re the Head Priest, a beacon of power in the kingdom. The Crown Prince is probably coming here to thank you, or not, still nothing is going to happen]
’Easy for you to say.’
The soldiers standing near the church gates immediately straightened their backs. The priestesses lowered their heads slightly, while Aiden kept his eyes fixed on the approaching road as the carriages came into view.
It was painted white with golden decorations running along its sides. On the carriage doors was the royal crest of the royal family, a lion crest shining brightly under the morning sun.
Four white horses pulled the carriage at a steady pace, while a group of royal knights rode beside it, carefully watching their surroundings. The carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the church.
One of the royal knights quickly climbed down from his horse and opened the carriage door.
The prince stepped out; Aiden could only tell he was the prince because of his dress. He had forgotten the face of the prince he saved yesterday.
He looked to be in his early twenties and wore finely made white clothes beneath a long royal cloak. His hair was neatly combed, and although his face still looked a little pale from yesterday’s events, there was far more life in his eyes than before. He stood tall as he looked toward the church entrance before a warm smile appeared on his face.
The moment he saw Aiden, he walked forward without hesitation heading towards him. The royal knights followed a few steps behind him, while the rest remained near the carriage.
The Crown Prince stopped a few steps away from Aiden. He placed one hand over his chest and lowered his head respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Holiness."
The priestesses watching from behind widened their eyes slightly. It wasn’t every day they saw the Crown Prince lower his head first, even in front of the Head Priest, especially since he was younger than the prince.
Aiden returned the greeting with a small nod and did the same, bowing his head.
"Your Highness. I’m glad to see you’re recovering well." Aiden spoke with his voice calm.
The Crown Prince smiled before speaking, "That is all thanks to you. Had you not acted when you did yesterday, I wouldn’t be standing here today."
For a brief moment, silence fell between them before the prince continued.
"I came here today for one reason."
He took another step forward and looked directly at Aiden.
"On behalf of myself, the royal family, and the people of the Elaris Theocracy... thank you for saving my life."
As soon as he finished speaking, every royal knight behind him lowered their heads, followed by the priestesses standing behind Aiden; they couldn’t keep their heads up when the prince’s escort bowed.
The entrance of the Eastern Church became completely silent.
