A few days later, I was successfully promoted to full-time priest. Since I took the top position, I proudly belonged to Seonghwangcheong.

It was when I was packing my bags to move to my newly assigned room.

The public dormitory where the apprentice priests lived was noisy.

“Did you hear the story of Priestess Leia who was expelled? They said they manipulated grades by paying bribes.”

"no wonder. Judging by her usual behavior, she seemed inappropriate to become a priest.”

"right. How does she become a priest when she forgets to pray every morning? To be honest, I won.”

“Priestess Leia, no, Priest Robert, who took a bribe from Leia, was also expelled from the Holy Land.”

I heard about the circumstances of Cassius, whom I met while praying in the morning.

Leia's infidelity was collected by Schwarz.

'I got help...…'

After becoming a priest of Seonghwangcheong, I was planning to investigate Leia and Robert by myself. If it were me, it would have taken quite a while to find their infidelity.

Thanks to Schwarz's help, the case was quickly closed.

After packing, I took the last paper bag that Schwarz had handed me.

There were still a couple of cookies left that I shared with Ellie.

Cookies were different. It was as if they had swept everything in the store because they didn't know what to choose.

‘Are you sure you bought it yourself?’

I thought it was pretty cute when I imagined the big guy stopped by the dessert shop and picked up some cookies.

She was afraid and thought of avoiding it, but seeing this, he seems like a good person.

The next time we met, I felt like I had to say thank you.

I packed up my things and went out.

The priests, who were making a lot of noise in the common dormitory lobby, rushed towards me.

“Priest Sonia! Are you going to work for Seonghwangcheong in the future?”

"yes that's right."

“A few days ago, when Priest Sonia took on the role of Marquis, I was briefly with Grand Duke Lundmeer. How terrifying you are to stand still!”

The priest trembled and trembled as if reminiscent of Archduke Lundmeer.

“It's amazing that you don't tremble in front of such a terrifying person. I think Priest Sonia is the perfect guide for the nobility. I will support you!”

I think it's the right thing to do, but the Holy Spirit, Cassius didn't allow it.

"thanks."

In return for their support, I greeted and headed to Seonghwangcheong.

As a full-time priest, I was also given custom-made clothes and a new room.

The size of the room was a little smaller for the regular priest because she lived alone without a roommate.

But after spending a few years with Ellie, it felt spacious.

I changed into my new uniform and stood in front of the mirror. It was a formal priestly outfit that included partial embroidery and lace, and it was also an exclusive dress for Seonghwangcheong.

‘I became a real Seonghwangcheong priest.’

The feeling was new. I put my spirits up and headed for Seonghwangcheong.

"hello? Priest Sonia.”

"hello."

There were not many people working in Seonghwangcheong. So, one by one, I was walking down the hallway, meticulously getting to know face.

In the distance, the tower of documents was staggering towards us.

His face was hidden in the documents, so I couldn't tell who he was, but he looked dangerous and I wanted to help.

I got closer and whispered quietly so as not to startle my opponent.

"Can I help?"

“…… who are you?"

Oh, it was a familiar voice.

“This is Sonia who has been promoted.”

"ah! Priest Sonia. It’s been good.”

I thought it was a familiar voice, but it was Isaac.

He laid the papers full of papers on the floor with both hands.

When you're a cardinal, you can call in your aide and do it yourself.

‘Is it some important document?’

My eyes went straight to the paperwork.

The little boy coughed in vain, as if not to look at him.

“It is confidential. It’s so terrifying that you’ll regret it if you look at it.”

then don't watch it.

I quickly turned my gaze to Isaac.

“You thought well. If you read it, you have to stay up all night with me for a month. By the way, since we met like this, I want to entrust you with a job.”

I nodded my head as I had plenty of time because I was unemployed until Cassius gave me permission.

“What is it?”

“The Holy Father has instructed you to prepare for a bath. As you can see, there are so many documents, Priest Sonia, please take over for me.”

I was nervous about the word bath.

Maybe it was because I had seen his body once, so even if I tried not to do it, I could not imagine.

Isaac said looking at me a little nervous.

“There is nothing big to do. He doesn't want to show his body, so he tries to do everything by himself whenever possible."

Those words made my heart feel heavy.

He doesn't like showing his cursed body to others.

Nevertheless, Cassius was willing to show me his body.

I said I didn't know anything, but I somehow felt sorry for staring at his body.

“Priest Sonia can take out towels and robes from the cupboard outside the bathroom and keep them. I'd like to tell you in person, but I'm too late for work right now...… Can you do it on your own?”

Usually, bathing service includes wiping off the water and putting on a robe.

But Cassius was different. It looked like he was wiping himself because of the curse.

It's not difficult to put out towels and robes.

"I could."

“It’s nice to have a cool answer. Then please.”

“Go carefully.”

After handing the key along with the location of the bathroom, Isaac slowly walked away with a pile of papers again.

‘Now, let’s get started!’

It was her first mission at Seonghwangcheong.

I made up my mind and went to the bathroom that Isaac had given me.

The bathroom was located not far from Cassius' bedroom. A huge flame was painted on the door.

It seemed to be a place where the energy of fire attribute and divine power was strong.

'nice…… Big.'

Just looking at the size of the door, it seemed to be equivalent to the grand hall of the Imperial Palace.

I thought of a bathroom as a room with a bathtub, but I thought this might be the level of a bathroom.

The door was tightly locked. It looked like it was locked from the inside to prevent an accident from happening.

I opened the door with the key that Isaac gave me and went in and locked it again from the inside.

As soon as I entered the bathroom, I felt a warm feeling and moisture.

‘This seems to be the preparation room.’

It seemed to be a place to recuperate and store things.

As Isaac pointed out, I found the cupboard and pulled out a clean, well-dried towel and robe.

And headed towards the bathroom entrance.

From the long curtains hanging down, warm underwater air was blowing out.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, it looked like there was something like a hot spring.

There was a small table made of marble at the entrance. A folded towel and a robe were placed on it.

‘Mission completed.’

There was no reason to stay here.

I wanted to go out and learn the faces of the priests working in Seonghwangcheong.

“Is it Isaac? You're late."

At that moment, Cassius' voice was heard in the bathroom.

“It’s Sonia, Sungha. Isaac Yeha was busy, so I came instead.”

with a splash! There was a loud banging sound from inside.

Accidents happen frequently in wet bathrooms.

Many people fall because it is slippery. If you do it wrong, you could have twisted your back or had a concussion.

I asked hurriedly, wondering if he was hurt.

“What happened to you?”

“Oh, no. nothing."

It seemed like nothing.

“Then I will go away.”

“…… Are you busy?”

“Unfortunately…… I have nothing to do today.”

What do you do when you think you're joking?

It reminded me of Isaac, who stayed up all night for a month. For nothing, she replied coldly, fearing that she would work overtime with him.

“If I don’t have a job, I have to look for it. Seonghwangcheong said there was not enough manpower, so I think I will have something to do.”

“If it’s okay with you, please speak to me.”

“talking to you?”

“I am bored to be alone.”

It was also a job to bring prosperity.

The most basic thing for her to do is to be the talker of the person she serves.

“I’m not good enough, but please take care of me.”

“…… Don't think it's too much work. I just want to talk.”

Oh, did you hear that the answer was too clerical?

Embarrassed, I scratched my cheek.

“How long does Sonia plan to work?”

until when?

Hmm, I just ran with the goal of becoming a priest, and didn't think about it after that. Now that the High Priest has come close, too.

“…… I never really thought about it.”

“Doesn’t Sonia have any intention of reconciliation?”

Reconciliation means taking off the priest's uniform and returning to the worldly world.

In the case of children of aristocratic families like myself, there are many cases of transference after becoming a priest.

Working as a priest means that you have studied a lot, learned all kinds of etiquette, and have built up connections with the Holy Kingdom.

It is very popular as a marriage partner, so if you are not the eldest son to inherit the family, they send daughter or son to Seongguk.

However, the training process was very arduous, and few people reached the level of a formal priest.

Having endured everything, I must have been the first bride-to-be who looked up to me in the aristocratic society.

“Um, I have no intention of turning back.”

“Then it means that you will continue to be a priest.”

"yes."

I became a priest for a different reason than ordinary nobles. So, for a while, I wouldn't quit my job as a priest.

Perhaps it was time to escape from the dangers of obsessions.

Exactly when Lancelot, who works as a perfumer, develops a pheromone perfume.

Pheromone perfume was not an imaginary thing. Because it was something that definitely existed in a previous life.
