Elysia was curious to see what the Head Priest would do next. Would he back down or would he continue to persuade Elysia to conduct the ceremony he was talking about?
"Lord Dirac, please don't be too hasty. I was just trying to get Lady Dirac to participate in Herman's rite since she has experience. You do not need to be this testy with me. She also ended up losing the artifact we were supposed to use so I suggested this alternative for her."
Head Priest Akane seemed unwilling to back down and Lucas was not backing down as well. It was a clash of wills at this point and no one was going to win.
It would have to be up to Elysia to break this tense atmosphere but she also had no idea how to do it.
After all, it was mostly her fault that things had gotten to this point already.
