Thankfully, nothing much happened after that and things returned to normal.
Or as normal as they could for someone in Elysia's position. She could still feel all the eyes on her as Eve held her hand close. That grip hurt but Elysia knew she had to endure it for now.
She could not let her expression of pain show up on her face or Eve would realize that Elysia lied to her and then get worried.
That was a scenario that should be avoided at any cost. The ceremony needed to go off without any hitch.
"Elysia looks, the Hoy Chalice is here. It is my first time being this close to the actual thing. What about you?"
Eve had the look of an excited kid on her face currently. Her eyes all but sparkled as she took in the Holy Chalice.
"I saw it a few times before when I participated in this ceremony as the temple's representative. But I guess it will be my first time facing the chalice from the other side. I guess it makes me nervous as well."
