In the end, Eren had no choice but to drape the robe over his shoulders, bearing the discomfort.

\'God, I will have to take another portal to enter the Holy City with that woman. Just kill me already...\' Rubbing his forehead, he pushed the door open and stepped out of the room.

He wanted to reach the Holy City on the Merchant Ship. However, he had never expected so much to happen along the way.

Instead of avoiding the portals, he had to take even more. Unfortunately, he couldn\'t even have any regrets about it as it was his decision.

Leaving the room, Eren caught sight of the Guards that were standing in both ends of the hallway. Unlike last night, they weren\'t stealthy anymore, making their presence well known.

It was clear that the Holy Priestess was still suspicious about them. However, she didn\'t attack him, which was good enough for Eren. As long as she wasn\'t certain about his position, she didn\'t have much choice in the matter.

He walked over to the neighboring room where his disciple was resting. Just like his room, he had also cast a barrier inside Yu Lin\'s room to make sure that he could sense if anyone entered her room.

With the barrier being intact, it was clear that no one disturbed her. No one would even think that such a young brat was behind it after all.

Eren knocked on the door and called Yu Lin out. Merely seconds had passed before Yu Lin opened the door, already appearing prepared.

Her preparedness even surprised Eren as he wondered if she was waiting on the other side of the door for him? He didn\'t ask her about it, believing it to be a coincidence.

Accompanying Eren and Zia, she left with the Guards to meet the Holy Priestess who was said to be waiting for them already.

With Yu Lin\'s departure, the door of her room closed. The room returned to silence, albeit for only a brief moment as a figure appeared to be standing in the room at a spot that wasn\'t visible from outside.

If Eren had noticed the woman, he would have been surprised, especially since the woman couldn\'t be detected by his barrier around the room at all.

She had somehow managed to enter this place without being detected. Even more shocking was that the Holy Domain couldn\'t detect the woman either, even though she had no shred of divine blessing.

Although Eren couldn\'t see the woman from outside the room, Yu Lin could see her. Still, she didn\'t tell Eren about it. It looked less like she was afraid of this woman and more like there was something else between them.

The woman had long hair that was dark blue in shade. Even her pupils were in the crystalline shade of ice, looking in the direction of the closed door.

The woman\'s icy gaze softened slightly as she turned her attention to the portrait in her hand. Her lips slightly curved up as a beautiful smile appeared on her lips, her fingers brushing against the person depicted in the portrait with a sense of longing.

"Not long..." she mumbled, the temperature in the room suddenly reducing to the point that it was freezing, all because of a few words.

The walls were covered in a thick layer of ice and so was everything else. Only the woman and the portrait in her hand appeared to be unaffected.

....

Outside, Eren and Yu Lin moved through the corridors accompanied by guards who were looking at them with weird gazes.

Zia knew why that was the case. If she was in their place, she might have done the same after the kind of sounds she had made last night.

Subconsciously, she reached out her hand and pinched Eren\'s waist, still feeling embarrassed about it.

As they approached the end of the hallway, Yu Lin cast a fleeting glance back towards her room. The gesture went unnoticed by Eren, whose focus was firmly set on the task ahead.

Soon, they reached the grand hall at the core of the Duke\'s Palace which was the most secure place. It was as if all the guards in the Duke\'s Palace were brought to this place to protect it.

It was also understandable as a passage to the Holy City was about to be opened, especially one that surpassed the barrier around the Holy City.

Even though the Holy Priestess was here, the Archbishop didn\'t take any risks after what happened last night.

Only he knew what kind of disaster it was going to be if someone like Devourer managed to enter the Holy City.

The Holy Priestess waited inside the Grand Hall, standing in front of a formation that was connected to the Holy City.

The formation appeared so intricate and complicated that even someone who had memorized it perfectly would struggle to recreate it.

Moreover, even if someone could memorize the formation and found the materials needed to create it, it was still going to be impossible for them to activate it.

The only person who could activate the formation was the Holy Priestess or someone who was authorized by her.

"Greetings to the Western Overlord," Eren greeted the Holy Priestess as soon as he stepped inside the hall. However, the Holy Priestess simply ignored him, not forgetting his disrespect of last night.

"Now that everyone is here, I will open the passage," she said as she started activating the formation.

With the formation lightning up, a portal started materializing in the center of the Grand Hall.
