Serenia walked back from Elias' office in joy. Although it was only a small victory, it was a win nonetheless. Against the big, scary villain, Elias Ashborn himself.
'At the very least, I've regained some sort of control over my living space.' Serenia didn't like how whenever she left her room, there were eyes on her from all directions.
Her guards were not allowed in her inner chamber unless they were instructed to. The maids, on the other hand, roamed free. Having them removed and Alia instated in their stead meant that she would now gain a larger room to act in.
"I should take my time to pray in the chapel~" Serenia happily headed towards her new destination.
Within less then five minutes, she arrived.
Unlike before, there were still some people inside the chapel, so she couldn't just go straight in and pray in the middle of the platform like before.
She greeted them, then proceeded to sit on the frontmost bench. She kneeled and began to offer a short prayer.
Ding!
