Chapter 567
The real difficulty had been deciding to return to Edina—getting there was the easy part.
In my beast form, entering and exiting the Temple was a piece of cake, not because I was an animal, but because it seemed like the guards had been informed beforehand that I was Ellen’s cat.
It felt like I had received an invisible Temple pass. I wasn’t sure if any wild animal could come and go as they pleased the way I could.
Once I left the Temple, I used the teleport scroll Harriet had crafted to return to Edina immediately.
Though it felt wasteful to use the scroll, I couldn’t summon Harriet to me since she didn’t know I had been taken to the Temple against my will.
After leaving Charlotte in charge and disappearing unexpectedly, my sudden comings and goings were not unusual, so no one was particularly surprised.
Naturally, the first person I sought out was Harriet. Despite the late hour, Harriet was in her lab and not her bedroom, engrossed in something.
She wouldn’t rest unless someone told her to.
Upon seeing me after my absence, Harriet explained that nothing significant had happened in Edina.
