It took a whole day for the temple to prepare the goddess before sending her to the imperial palace. The biggest reason behind this delay was the fact that no one wanted the goddess to be in danger.
Because of this, a hundred things needed to be checked, and the imperial palace needed to be inspected.
This was an official visit, so the temple had the excuse that they wanted to purify the palace before their goddess visited that place… but that was just an excuse on the surface.
In reality, this was an underground investigation being carried out by Auriel, Priestess Lilith, and Carol to check for dark magic in the imperial palace.
As such, Auriel's face had been covered, and her identity had been hidden behind various spells that made it impossible to tell who she was.
The trio arrived at the imperial castle before the sun could rise, and the guard let them inside.
