"LADY NYSTROM, are you ready to offer a prayer for the Black Serpent?" Lilly asked her with a smile. "According to the legends, out of all the Ancient Beasts, Black Serpent was particularly fond of people who wished prosperity for their family. That's why in the past, a lot of married men and women with children devoted themselves to the Black Serpent. Since you're a newly married woman who's now pregnant, I think you should ask for the Black Serpent's blessing to protect your family."
"Okay, Miss Lilly," Tilly said with a smile. "I'll pray to the Black Serpent for me and my family. Thank you for telling me."
The priestess just smiled at her.
After that, she ushered her into the altar where Lilly gave her a black candle. She was supposed to hold that while praying to the Black Serpent. When the other priestesses closed her eyes, she did the same.
Since she was already there, might as well pray.
Hi, Mr. Black Serpent.
