Normal POV

The cool autumn breeze swept over the land, winter was fast approaching and the Winchester duchy was as busy as ever preparing for the cold ahead. The family was getting ready for the end of the month service, unlike other religions in the world Hyperions only went for a collective service on the last Sunday of every month, this was a way of thanking dianatea and Florentia for all the goodwill they had spread across the land and also to pray for whatever was lost within that month.

This was the first time Bella was attending the service as a member of another family and in all honesty, she was a lot more nervous than she thought she was never an overly religious type and the temple personally was too awkward a place for her especially when they had to pass the mana barrier which caused a burning sensation in her chest.

"My lady, please wear a shoal over your dress, we might still be in autumn but the Winchester duchy gets colder faster than other places," Mia said. The Winchester duchy used to be one of the six kingdoms of Egerheil and is located in the far northeast close to the hills and mountains

"Bella dear are you ready to go yet?" Elaina asked, she came into the room with the duke and told all the maids to leave along with siyue.

"Here let me help you" Elaina took the small pocket comb from her purse and combed Bella's short but frilly bangs neatly. "They're much better," Elaina said, she sighed rubbing Bella's cheek with her thumb.

"Is anything the matter your excelllency?"Bella asked looking over at the duke

"It's just. . .the temple has a mana barrier and I'm aware that ghouls have mana that is harder to restrain than other species, are you sure you'll be okay?" The duke asked he couldn't shake the look of concern off his face

Duke Theodore Asheron Winchester.

"I'll be fine your excellency the sooner we go the sooner we can get it over with," Bella said, although she knew what was ahead of her she still tried to reassure the duke.
