TYRANT IN THE MAKING

"WELCOME to Astello Temple, Your Majesty and Lady Roseheart."

Nikolai nodded at Dion Skelton's greeting as soon as he and Mona stepped out of the portal placed in one of Astello Temple's prayer room.

He was also glad to see that the former Paladin, now the temporary High Priest of the temple, heeded his request not to let the Holy Knights know about their arrival. The Holy Knights had been infiltrated by the crows once.

It wasn't like he didn't trust the Holy Knights anymore.

He just wanted to be more careful.

"Thank you, Dion," Mona said to the former Paladin. "It's nice to see you again after a long time."

Dion bowed to Mona politely. "It's an honor to have the chance to serve you again, Lady Roseheart."

"Unfortunately, we don't have time for pleasantries," Nikolai said. "Is the portal room connected to the Cyran Temple ready?"
