Brandon pushed open the large wooden doors to the headmistress's office and stepped inside.
His eyes immediately flickered toward Esmery, who was seated behind her desk.
However, it wasn't Esmery who drew his full attention... it was the unfamiliar woman in the room.
A woman is sitting on the chair with elegant composure, facing Esmery's desk.
She was draped in formal red and white clerical robes, and a black veil cascaded over her head, partially covering her long, silver-white hair.
One of her eyes was hidden beneath a blindfold, while her other eye revealed her clear blue iris.
Brandon walked to the desk and sat on the chair beside the new woman.
Esmery smiled gently and spoke "Brandon, this is Acolyte Valiene Himelle, from the Holy Church of Rhéanne."
At the mention of the name, Brandon's brows narrowed slightly.
Himelle? That was the name of the divine figure worshipped in the grand temples across the world... the goddess Rhéanne Himelle.
