"A human in the mountain range?!" The Head Priest was puzzled. "How did you meet that human? Was that a traveler?"
The series of questions made Veronica flabbergasted. She realized that she shot a bullet on her own foot. She wished to bury herself because of her stupidity.
'Calm down, Ver! This isn't the time to worry about unnecessary things. Just starve a day for lying to the Head Priest,' Veronica told herself.
"I haven't seen the face of the person. I was resting in the mountain cave when I saw him lying in the corner. He was severely injured. I thought he was a mountain climber. He must have accidentally fallen and injured himself. That's why I saved him," she lied in a swift motion without holding back. In her mind, she was stabbing her heart. Her guilty conscience was killing her. She didn't show her inner struggle in her expression.
