[Author's note: This chapter is a continuance of the past of the Holy Empress.]
The Holy Empress stayed at the church working and doing whatever she could to help. In return, she was given basic food and water as well as a small room to stay in. The Priest and nuns noticed her stomach getting larger but they didn't comment. They found that she didn't speak much anyway.
As for the reason why the church decided to help her: no one knew for sure. Perhaps her beauty moved them into helping. Or perhaps, the snake around her wrist made them realize that her identity was something special. Either way, they allowed this quiet pregnant woman to stay and help.
