It had been late at night when Elysia was taken away by the temple. So Lucas had no choice but to wait for the sun to rise before going after her.
Otherwise, he would be giving the temple enough to work around him and void his plea to let Elysia go.
Lucas Dirac knew a few things about the Head Priest which assured him that Elysia would not be mistreated to an extreme degree. The Head Priest still wanted to make use of Elysia for his gains.
Not only that, but he wanted to control Elysia. As long as he could ensure that Elysia would not go against his wishes, he could rest easy protecting Elysia.
It was a grave matter for Lucas in the long run but it was certainly reassuring right now. The 'current' Elysia was not capable of refuting anything Head Priest Yohan asked of her. She was too well-trained to think of betraying him.
And Elysia would not think about that matter unless it came to a clash of wills.
