Elysia tried to keep her mouth shut in this situation but the silence was too much for her. Eve hardly ever ignored her and she never ignored Elysia in the company of other sisters and temple members.
But the current situation was different from their usual norm. Elysia was not a member of the temple but a noble of the Duke's family.
"Eve, are you not going to ask me anything? I can see that you have questions for me."
Elysia decided to be the first one to break the ice. She felt like it was her responsibility to take the first step toward establishing communication.
After all, it was her fault this awkward situation occurred in the first place. Had she not gotten involved, this conflict would not have occurred between the Dirac house and the temple.
"I'm sorry Lady Dirac, but I am just trying to establish boundaries between us. It will not be proper for someone of my status to talk with you directly."
