Chapter 7

About 30 minutes later, Diana, who was walking behind the new priest, was escorted to the vacant lot right in front of the side gate.

“The person waiting for you is behind the door 601.”

The priest pushed Diana’s back with a voice that had no emotion.

“Goodbye.”

Diana’s body leaned forward with the power of his push.Diana’s body leaned forward with the power of his push.

After finishing his work, the priest turned away with a look of relief. Even though he deals with the candidates who belonged to the temple, he couldn’t be so cold-hearted.

Diana stared at the breeze and began to walk forward.

Until now, she has always been abandoned by the people of the temple. As she could not get out of her destiny, she was betrayed and betrayed again.

But not this time. Unlike in the past, this was the result of Diana’s own will.

“I wasn’t abandoned this time, I did it first.”

No matter how much everyone denies, the fact that she is the next saint does not change.

Live without a saint. Temple of Igad.

Turning against the temple, the sound of her feet became lighter. It felt like one of the shackles hanging from her ankle had been released.

Outside the side door, Ben was waiting for Diana. Ben, who saw Diana coming out, put a straight smile on his face.

“I was waiting, young lady.”

Ben bowed down in an impeccably polite manner.

“Yes. Good morning.”

Diana, who was startled, bowed deeper than Ben. Ben’s excessive kindness was only burdensome. But this time, Ben bowed even deeper than Diana. Diana was at loss for his action.

“Miss, you shouldn’t lower yourself like that anymore.”

“But it’s because I’m uncomfortable.”

“Can you remember one thing? You are now a member of the Tersia family. Your actions are the honor of your family.”

“…….”

“It’s still early, but you’ll get used to it.”

Ben’s advice was soft, but it contained a clear message. Diana understood what he was trying to say.

If she was really adopted by the Grand Duke family, then, she must act accordingly. For the sake of DeHeen’s reputation, who brought her out from the temple. As she thought about it, Dyna’s body flinched and her eyelashes trembled.

‘I’m really adopted by the Grand Duke family.’

After being treated like a nuisance, her life was completely changed at this moment.

“Have you finished greeting your friends?”

Diana, who had been dazed for a moment, came to her senses at Ben’s gentle voice.

“Oh, I don’t have any friends.”

“………Is that so?”

Ben gave Diana a quick surprised look. Even though she said she had no friends, he was worried because there was no agitation.

‘What’s that attitude?’

It was not childlike at all. A child doesn’t take on that kind of attitude. In Ben’s eyes, Diana seemed like a child without any regrets not only towards friendship but also to the world. It was a vague impression that could be erased at any moment.

Even then, Ben was still wary of Diana.

Of course, he will treat her as a lady, but he will observe her behavior for some time. But he changed his mind. He thought at least a child shouldn’t look like that. He wanted to help her laugh properly.

“We’ll get to know each other a lot from now on.”

“Yes.”

Diana only nodded slightly to Ben’s sweet words. Wanting a friend was an old story, and now, she has no desire in making friends.

After walking a little beside Ben, there was a fancy carriage prepared. Even among the carriage that Dyna had seen countless times, this carriage’s appearance was so gorgeous that it hurt her eyes.

“Your Grace is waiting inside.”

“Are we riding in the same carriage with Grand Duke?”

“That’s right.”

Diana’s face darkened a little at Ben’s response.

It takes quite a while to get to the Tersia Territory, but she felt suffocated when she thought about being with the Grand Dukes in a closed carriage throughout the journey.

But she couldn’t be foolish. Diana nodded calmly, saying she understands.

Soon, Ben opened the carriage door and saw DeHeen’s large silhouette sitting inside. Diana’s heart began to beat as if it was popping out. She pressed her trembling hand and stepped on the stairs of the carriage.

Then, DeHeen extended his hand to make it easier for Diana to climb in.

“Come on.”

It was a monotonous statement without any particular emphasis, but it was enough to relieve Diana’s anxiety. Diana grabbed DeHeen’s hand tightly like a rope. His cold hands were surprisingly very warm.

“Thank you for coming to pick me up.”

” I’m a man of my word.”
