Tria's carriage had already arrived back to their house, she and Crei made their way towards her room, while Mexi went to find the others.
Tria was not in a good mood, and Crei could see it. He knew it must be because whoever was trying to buy her temple. Tria was silently walking along with Crei while in deep thoughts.
This was the first temple that will allow her to make a difference. The previous priestesses were never able to build their own because of the oppression of the opposition. She had bigger enemies than some noble who wants to spend their wealth on a whim. At the moment, she had to make a plan of action so when the temple is completed, she will be able to officially announce the priestess awakening on the Land and help the people.
"Wifey?"
"Hmm," she answered turning her gaze towards Crei.
"You can talk to me, anything you need to be done, I can complete it,"
Tria smiled at Crei, he has been trying so hard to please her and even came out all the way here. She silently looked him while smiling, which made him nervous.
"I think it's time for the next step of our marriage, husband."
"… the next step?" asked Crei, gulping.
"Where is your head at? The next step is for us to go on a date, no?"
"Ah right, hahaha, a date, of course," he was getting ahead of himself there, he thought.
"Well, do you have anything planned out?"
"I did, but that was for when we were back home, now that we are so far away, I shall make a few changes, how about two days from now wifey?"
"That's the eve of the temple's completion…hmm..alright!"
"Great, your husband will arrange everything, I will be away till then, I will come to pick you up at sundown?" he said while getting close to Tria, holding on to her chin attractively.
"Sure."
They stood there looking into each other's eyes, although no words were spoken, the way their eyes were hovering over each other's eyes and nose, and lips said it all.
This lasted for a full minute until Tria patted his chest and walked away.
"I'll be ready."
Crei silently watched her going into her room, with a smile on his face. Happy about their advancements in their relationship, he retreated away, fading into thin air.
Tria walked into her room and closed the door and slumped her back on the wall. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, while she felt a heat rush down her face. Although she has seen Crei all this time, she had never looked into his eyes and at him so intently, and she never thought the results of her actions would be as such. It's not she hasn't been in love before, but this feeling was different when they were standing and looking at each other, it felt as if they became one, it felt as if there was nothing else around, it felt surreal. She had never felt this way before, that is why she had to walk away from it, she feared that if she didn't she would have been sucked in by his feelings.
There also another feeling, that was foreign to her, and it was connected to the book inside her consciousness. Thinking about it, she calmed herself while directing her mind into the Golden Temple.
On the altar, the ancient book was already open, however, it was to a page, she hasn't been able to get to before.
