The people that came to mind for pheromone capture were my parents and Lancelot.

I answered immediately.

“Family.”

His sharp gaze softened slightly. I opened my mouth carefully.

"I……. I'm sorry. I have caused trouble to the Holy Father.”

"no. It was me who chose to help.”

Shaking his head, he suddenly stopped.

Then, with an erratic gait, he walked towards the wall and leaned over, bending his waist and folding his arms.

His face was completely red.

It was fine, but it still looked bad.

She should learn how to capture pheromones as soon as possible, and take charge of the guides of the nobles.

I want to help him as much as I am sorry.

What he said was trustworthy.

“Yes, I will work hard!”

After thinking for a moment, he said slowly.

“Alone…… It will be hard...… how about this? What I see every day.”

I waved my hands to thank you enough for letting me know.

“I can’t cause trouble to the Holy Father any more than this. I can practice on my own.”

'Cause I just got the hang of it'

“You have to get used to it……so You can become a confessor.”

Well, in order to be of any help to Cassius, I need to learn how to capture it quickly and take the lead of the nobles. Would I rather ask for more?

“I will practice a lot so that I can learn pheromone capture as soon as possible.”

“Sonia will do it soon……. It's my first time, so...… Because I did it.”

“It’s not enough, but I ask for your favor. Can I come to Seonghwangcheong every day from now on?”

“Sonia was told she never missed a morning prayer. Starting tomorrow, I will also participate...… See you in the common prayer room.”

"yes."

Unlike me, who answered boldly, Cassius's posture, leaning his back against the wall, seemed very uncomfortable.

He wasn't too far from the couch, and he looked so tough he couldn't even get there.

“Can I help you?”

"it's okay. I am not sick.”

he blurted out.

***

Sonia returned, but Cassius still had a sore lower body.

The priest's uniform was loose, so an embarrassing situation would have occurred if it hadn't been for the damn thing.

Alone, Cassius wiped his flushed face.

His body's blood seemed to boil in response to Sonia's intense pheromone scent.

In particular, when he looked at Sonia's white neck, he thought his reason was cut off.

He wanted to bite the back of her neck right away and let her pheromone flow.

‘Crazy.’

He can't control one of these desires.

When he met her, his desires that he thought were gone were awakened.

He thought he would be able to contain it enough.

Far from holding on to him, all he could do was steer clear of his away from her and recite a prayer in his mind.

‘It’s because it’s an Omega I haven’t seen in a long time.’

So maybe he finds her scent particularly sweet.

Cassius closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against his hand.

He tried to shake it off, but Sonia's face, smiling brightly as she hugged Michael, did not disappear.

‘What kind of cat is that?’

Rejoicing as she stroked his furry beast, she seemed happy as if she had everything in the world.

Come to think of it, he thought it was cute when he first met her, holding a little candy as a treasure.

She says she is so happy with the little things. If I could do something bigger, what kind of expression would you make?

If he imagines that, his head will be filled with her soon after her.

I thought it had subsided, but my body got hot again.

'You're crazy, Cassius Seirand Magnus.'

He used his divine power to fill the empty glass with cold water.

Chowk, he drank water, but his thirst was not quenched, and he even poured it over his head.

Water dripped down to his chin.

Although he poured cool water on him, his thirst did not subside, he felt his blood boiling hot.

It was as if his body was broken.

Seeing how difficult it was, he didn't know it was an ordeal from God.

‘If it is a trial given by the Lord, you must overcome it.’

So, there was no need to deliberately keep her away.

He would rather meet her often, and practice the practice of mastering his mind.

From tomorrow on, he had to train not only Sonia but also himself to control the mind.

***

Her formal priests usually offer the morning prayers in her own room.

On the other hand, apprentice priests who do not have a private room use the common prayer room.

Cassius' visits were not surprising, as often high priests also visit the common prayer rooms.

but.

“I heard that the Holy Father never lost his first prayer during the probationary period.”

As such, Cassius got up earlier than his others and started the day.

She couldn't keep her superiors waiting, so she moved earlier than usual, got ready, and headed to her prayer room.

The temple of dawn was covered with twilight.

The air is chilly, so I decided to bring a separate blanket to wear over the priest's uniform tomorrow.

Eventually, she arrived at the prayer room in the central temple.

‘You must not have come yet.’

Because I came earlier than usual. As I opened the prayer room door, I paused.

A candle was lit in the prayer room.

It meant that someone had already arrived at the prayer room.

I silenced the sound of footsteps and went inside cautiously.

In front of the statue, Cassius was praying with his hands folded.

‘You have already come. What kind of prayer are you praying?’

He looked serious enough to be reverent.

Unable to disturb his prayer, she sat quietly beside him, clasped her hands tightly and closed her eyes.

I also had to start praying today.

‘Lord Magnus, please take care of me so that I can safely become a member of Seonghwangcheong.’

I opened my eyes slightly and glanced at Cassius.

He was calm, and he had a slight impression on him, and his tightly clasped hands trembled slightly.

He said that if he concentrates on prayer, he gets as hard as doing strenuous exercise.

It seemed that an apprentice priest like me was thinking of a cause I couldn't even imagine.

I concentrated on prayer again.

‘I wish Lancelot could develop a pheromone perfume as soon as possible.’

God Magnus was less responsive than usual.

She had to pay a bribe to grant her wish.

'Obviously this business is going to go well. If it hits the jackpot, I will donate a lot of money!’

I felt my heart get hotter than usual. He seemed to like the content of the prayer.

I opened my eyes.

Cassius, who had finished praying, was looking at me.

First of all, greetings.

“I see you, the Lord of the Holy Kingdom, His Holiness Cassius.”

“Yes, good morning. Sonia.”

“You came early. Do you always pray at this hour?”

“It is earlier than usual. I have something to take care of today, so I came here early on purpose.”

As Cassius was praying to God, something seemed difficult.

It seemed that he had come early to offer a big prayer for a cause, not a wish mixed with personal desires like mine.

“It’s not enough, but I’ll help. What prayer can I pray for you?”

“ ....thank you It's just a trial God has given me. I have to overcome it alone.”

If it's an ordeal from God, I can't help.

It was also strange to bless the prosperous Cassius, saying that he wanted the Lord to look after him.

So, I decided to focus on what I could do, guide the nobles.

Cassius spoke first.

“Have you practiced?”

"yes. It is easy to unlock pheromones, but it is difficult to capture them. Shall we start with the opening?”

In order to capture it, you must first release a pheromone.

“You don't have to. I can still smell Sonia’s pheromone scent.”

It still looked like a human air freshener.

Suddenly, Cassius rose from his seat.

And he headed towards the dark wall that the candles had not lit.

“I will watch over Sonia from here.”

“…… Isn't it too far?"

There is a street and it's dark, so I won't be able to see well.

“Sampling training should look at the whole body.”

That's why you're trying to watch me from afar. such a big meaning!

“You must be busy, but thank you for your help.”

“Don't open the pheromones, just focus on capturing them. Give it a try.”

I was careful to capture the pheromone in his words.

I tried for a while, but it felt like there was no progress at all.

He said quietly staring at me.

“You need to practice a little more. Come tomorrow at the same time.”

Then, in haste, he disappeared.

‘Because you must be busy.’

It's been a while, but thank you for taking the time for me.

Left alone, I practiced the capture method a little more.

I thought of my precious family, the method he taught me, and I also thought of Michael, who was chirping in my arms.

It certainly seemed to be helpful in capturing the moments when I was happy.

Cassius, who taught me how to capture it, looked at me from afar the next day and the next day as well.

He often licked his lips with a slight frown, or, saying he was thirsty, made cool water with divine power and drank it.

One day he was having a hard time breathing heavily, so she asked cautiously.

“Are you really okay?”

Are you tired of waking up earlier than usual because of me?

“Don’t worry. I am also practicing.”

After answering that, he prayed to God and struggled.

I thought that the ordeal that God gave him must have been very difficult.
