"Clang—"
Within the Great Temple to the north of Eryxis, the grand doors were violently thrust open.
A blast of cold air suddenly surged inside, creating a current that contrasted the warm interior. Demeter stumbled into the Temple, her eyes somewhat lifeless.
The gaping hole that had been torn open in the roof had been hastily repaired, and the bloodstains surrounding the Temple were already wiped clean. At this moment, only a few mortal maids remained, constantly awaiting the return of the master of the Temple.
"Your Highness, do you have any orders?"
Bowing slightly, the movement at the doors immediately revitalized the few. Since the goddess had returned, the leading maid couldn't help but bow her head and step forward to greet her. Yet, before her, Demeter seemed as if she didn't see the girl at all, just staggering forward.
