The sound of breathing between a woman and a man was constantly heard.

    Ellin covered her ears, but the occasional sound of the man’s beast-like breathing and the woman’s voice tormented her.

    Although she was not a saint, she still had the values ​​of a saint in her head.

    How could they do this in the holy temple! Even in the prayer room overlooked by God!

    She was genuinely angry.

    God will not leave them alone.

    Even after they finished the act, Ellin kept her mouth shut and curled up. It was such a terrible time.

    She still couldn’t believe it. Did a woman that had the role of a ‘Saint’ did that with a man? Even in the sacred prayer room?

    Ellin grabbed her hair and opened the door to the prayer room.

    Her face was red with anger.

    Ellin saw the statues of the saints on the pillars of the prayer room.

    How could they do that under this statue?

    She was genuinely angry.

    It used to be the most reverent and sacred prayer room in the world, but now it feels unclean.

    Ellin covered her mouth as she felt nauseated, opened the door from the prayer room and went out into the hallway.

    She tried to erase what she had just heard, denying it.

    Let’s be calm. Let’s think calmly. They are also human beings with desires.

    ‘Maybe my thoughts are old-fashioned.’

    She thought a saint should be the most pure. Of course, they can’t get close to a man and they can’t get married.

    This also applies to all priests.

    But, Arkan ignored the rules and abducted Ellin to the imperial palace, causing a big problem for everyone.

    There were times when Elena too wanted to give in to desire. But not this way, she had no intention of having an affair in the prayer room.

    ‘Liliana, what the hell are you doing?’

    Recalling the conversation, it seemed that they did this not just once or twice.

    No matter how far the Saint’s Palace was from here, this was still the domain of the priests.

    She also didn’t know it at first, but how surprised they would be if they found out about the saint? And what would happen if it went into the Pope’s ears? The secret room inside the prayer room would also be discovered later.

    Ellin was afraid of what the Pope will do.

    As she was about to move again, someone’s strong hand grabbed hers.

    Ellin tried to scream. But a soft hand covered her mouth and hugged her waist. Her heart was pounding.

    “Shh.”

    “……”

    It was Erich’s voice. Ellin opened her eyes wide and looked back.

    The moonlight came in from the window and Erich’s face was seen clearly.

    “Don’t scream. Alright?”

    She nodded her head.

    Erich removed his hand from her mouth. Ellin realized that she was too close to Erich.

    Erich’s firm chest touched her back. Erich’s arms were still wrapped around her waist.

    They were so close that if they moved a little bit, they would kiss each other. Erich lowered his head, pursed his lips, and whispered.

    Ellin’s heart raced.

    “Priest… How.”

    “Sir Paul is standing over there. If you go there, Sir Paul will kill you.”

    “……”

    “It seems that he has noticed my presence, not yours.”

    “Ah……”

    “Follow me.”

    Erich led her away.

    ***

    “This is…….”

    “This is my room.”

    She knew. Because she often wander around when she was a saint. However, Ellin looked around the room as if it were the first time she had come here.

    It had been a long time since she had seen Erich’s room when he was not yet the Pope, so she felt nostalgic.

    Ellin completely entered Erich’s room.

    “Yes, Ellin. What did you see?”

    Erich said softly.

    Sitting on the sofa in his room, she felt strangely drowsy.

    The moonlight illuminated his face. His orange eyes filled with a strange light curved softly.

    The shadows cast on his face made his expression look mysterious.

    For some reason, this Erich felt different from the Erich she knew before. Is there such a difference when he treated the saint and a commoner?

    She was confused and her heart was pounding.

    Ellin tried to ignore that feeling. She pondered whether to tell what she had seen before or not. She couldn’t even open my mouth.

    What if he doesn’t believe her? And she might be considered as presumptuous.

    Erich, who noticed her, burst out laughing. The tense atmosphere was relieved by the sound of laughter.

    “Ellin, Sir Paul and Saint went to the prayer room. They probably wouldn’t pray together, and it’s obvious what would they do.”

    “…….”

    “You, too, came back from the prayer room. That means…….”

    Erich looked at Ellin.

    No way… … .

    It always seemed like Erich knew everything about her. But surely he didn’t notice that she went to the secret room, did he?

    It’s definitely strange that she, who was an outsider not so long ago, knew that the secret room existed.

    When Ellin looked at Erich with a nervous expression, he continued.

    “Did you secretly pray and when the two people came in you hid?”
