114 The Feast II

Their carriage stopped in front of the staircases, leading into the temple. Emelia slightly pushes the curtain to the side, looking at the temple structure. White tall poles that were about 15ft high stretched across the other poles. 

In front of the carriage door stood tens of holy knights. Holy knights are under the temple. They have nothing to do with the royal family. People say they are the chosen ones by the gods. But there are several reasons for them to be a holy knight. 

"Announcing His Imperial Majesty and Princess Emelia presence," announced a deacon, and the holy knights wield their swords out, pointing up to the sky. 

Elliot walked out of the carriage and followed Emelia, who held onto Elliot's hand upon going down. They looked at each other before walking in between the holy knights. Emelia kept her head up and grips her hand tightly on his hand. Elliot takes a short look at her, and his lips curled.
