TO THE LIBRARY

The Head Priest came at the exact time. He smiled at her when he spotted her.

Veronica noticed him too. She went closer and greeted him, "May the Goddess shine the light upon you, Head Priest."

"You are here. I had a hard time recognizing you. This black hair wig looks good on you. It changed your appearance completely. Did you wait too long?"

"No, I just came," Veronica lied. She waited twenty minutes.

"Great. I brought you a set of temple uniforms. Go, change into it." He handed her a package.

It was early morning. The shops hadn't opened yet.

Taking this chance, Veronica went to a public washroom and changed her clothes there. When she came out, she looked like a devoted nun from the temple.

The Head Priest nodded his head in appreciation. "Very good. Let's go to the Royal Library before we attract people."

"Do many people go to the library, Head Priest?"
