The meeting location was in the **Sanctum District,** a heavily guarded area of the capital where only high-ranking nobles and priests were allowed.

  I arrived at **midnight.**

  A hooded priest stood waiting for me at the entrance of an old chapel.

  **"Lucian von Kaiser?"**

  Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

  I smirked. **"Depends. Who’s asking?"**

  The priest ignored my remark and gestured for me to follow.

  We entered the chapel, moving through its dimly lit corridors until we reached a **hidden chamber.**

  Inside, several high-ranking figures of the **Holy Church** were seated around a large table.

  One of them was a **cardinal.**

  And another…

  Was **Saintess Aurelia.**

  Aurelia, the most beloved figure of the church. A **holy maiden** blessed with divine power.

  She was also **one of the Seven Prodigies.**

  She turned to me, her golden eyes unreadable.

  **"Lucian von Kaiser.

  We need your help."**

  What? Too much for first meeting.**
