"...They fought?"
Liliana asked as she opened the door to the prayer room.
Agnes gave an awkward smile and then nodded.
"It seems Liber couldn't recite the prayer correctly. The commander ordered him to copy it five times, but Liber insisted that twice was enough..."
"...Oh dear."
“But don’t worry too much. They agreed he would do it twice for now, and if he can’t memorise it, it’ll be increased to ten times.”
"That's a relief."
Liliana smiled faintly and slowly approached the statue of the goddess.
When she knelt down, Agnes bowed at the waist in greeting and quietly left the prayer room.
It had already been a month since the second wedding.
Altus, who had been displeased with Liber, was trying to accept him as promised.
Liber was also making efforts to adapt to the temple, but perhaps because of their differing personalities, occasional clashes were inevitable.
‘Back then... we really got along well.’
Liliana thought about the nights she had spent with her two husbands.
She still couldn’t understand why Goddess Aurora had made her like that.
Was it really because of that wish she made at the wedding ceremony?
But looking back, it didn’t feel quite like a punishment...
'...No.'
Liliana quickly shook her head.
It was wrong to have other thoughts during prayer.
She was Goddess Aurora’s closest daughter, and the goddess was always watching over her.
'Mother.'
Liliana clasped her hands reverently.
Since that day, the ridiculous situation where her waist got stuck in the wall hadn’t happened again, but she still couldn’t understand the goddess’s will.
It wasn’t something she could ask the priestesses for help with, so she simply prayed every day, seeking an answer.
‘Please give guidance to your foolish daughter.’
At that moment, the statue of the goddess watching her flickered faintly.
Had she imagined it?
Liliana narrowed her brow slightly.
—You enjoyed it, didn’t you?
Startled by the sudden voice, Liliana looked around in surprise but sensed no presence nearby.
She stared blankly at the statue of the goddess before lowering her head.
'...That's true.'
