Chapter 287.1
Pides ran hurriedly when his eyes spotted a human-like figure lying still on the ground.
“Your Holiness?” Pides muttered out startlingly as he held up the limp body up into his arms, when he saw the long blond hair.
However, the old lady in priest uniform, whose eyes were closed and her face pale, couldn’t possibly be Sang-je. In fact, Pides had no idea who this lady was as there hardly had been any occasion for knights to come across with Anika, who had come into the palace to become a priest.
Although he can’t quite understand why her hair was blond, he had no doubt that this lady is powerful. Pides gave a gentle nudge at the old lady to wake her up. But since she showed no response, he decided to feel her pulse on her wrist.
Pides took his hand away with a start before he held his finger over her nostril to check her breathing. However, when he couldn’t feel any sign of breath from her, he placed his finger once again on the pulse on her neck.
“I can’t believe this…”
Looking much shocked, Pides slowly took his hand from her, realizing that the lady had long been dead.
Pides placed the old lady onto the floor and straightened the priest uniform she was wearing. He realized there was nothing else he could do for her. And now that he has confirmed her death, he would need to inform the other priests about it, so they could carry out necessary procedures to take care of her body.
“May your soul rest in peace and the grace of Mahar to be with you.”
