The moment Esther stepped out of that ancient temple, she mumbled something with her eyes closed, and the next moment, she appeared back inside the current Temple of the Divine at the outskirts of the capital.
She found herself inside the worship hall of the temple where the High Priest was already present as if he was expecting her arrival. She bowed to greet him.
The High Priest also bowed in response. "I hope Your Majesty gained an answer from your visit to my master."
She nodded but disappointment was eminent in her eyes. Neither she nor Theron wanted to give into the Devil's demand, and she also couldn't let her husband bear the curse on his body. There was no way to transfer the curse from the summoner to another. Then…
She let out a shaky breath as she made a decision.
"I want to summon the Devil."
