"You really need to go?" Alex asked in an innocent voice, using some tricks to stop her. However,
"The only way I can think of preventing you from going to the Blood Domain is through my authority as the Saintess. And for that, I need to return to the Cathedral."
In the first place, she only had a few days of leave from the church. Because of her identity as the supreme Saintess, she cannot wander around like this because of the threat of being targeted by other races or evil nobles.

For her, the church is the safest place. And before the Trials, she needs to maintain her reputation so she can support Alex if something goes awry.
Exhaling a weary sigh, Alex yielded, "Okay, fine. Do whatever you think is right."
