Chapter 29 Olena [Part 2]
Unlike Miraleth’s, hers was refined, bigger, and brighter; he could tell she was someone important, but still he had no idea who she was, and he was definitely going to find out.
Aiden cleared his throat and spoke again, "I’m doing fine, so you are?"
"Ohh, I’m Olena, Head Priestess of the Western Church," She spoke, bowing her head down again.
"Ohh, the Western Church, I’ve heard about you," Aiden replied. He knew that since she was the Head Priestess, then there was no way he wouldn’t know her; at least this way she won’t suspect anything.
’This bastard, he’s acting like he doesn’t know me... It seems I have my work cut out for me; I need to pry into him more to find out what he likes or doesn’t, and he was staring at my chest earlier, but the Head Priest can’t be interested in my body’
"I’m pleased to hear that. I heard you healed the prince; the king would want to reward you with something. I hope you ask for something good," Olena replied.
"Ohh, when the time comes," Aiden replied. His head was currently blank; he didn’t have anything to say to her. The only thing, or rather things, on his mind were her oversized melons staring right at him.
"I just came to pay my respects to the new Head Priest," Olena continued. "The church has suffered a great loss, and so did the kingdom. With so many great priests gone, the future of the church now rests on your shoulders."
Aiden nodded like he knew what she was talking about. "I’ll do my best"
"That is reassuring to hear," She replied.
For a brief moment, silence filled the air, and Olena carefully studied him. Aiden was different, and not just because he was young, but he seemed calm, too calm around her. There was also an unfamiliar awkwardness about him, but she broke the silence.
"Since you’ll be leading the churches from now on, there’ll be many matters requiring your attention. If you ever need assistance with church affairs, I’d be more than willing to help."
"Really? That would be a huge help," Aiden replied.
Olena smiled warmly, though her thoughts were very different from Aiden’s.
’Just as I expected, he’s inexperienced...with the way he thanked me I’m sure he knows it would be too much for him to handle, if I become someone he relies on, leading the Western Church is just the first step, I can use him to make decisions that would benefit me in the long run’ A sm thoughtile remained in Olena’s face as she stared at Aiden.
’Damn... Look at those jugs. Now I’m convinced the goddess knows what she’s doing. How is it even possible to get boobs like that? I need to find a way to bring her to my side; that way I can play with those things’
"I’m glad to hear that," She replied. "After all, we’re all serving the goddess of light; working together is only natural"
"Mhmm..."
Both Aiden and Olena heard a sound come from the bathroom, and both of their eyes went towards the door immediately. That was when Aiden remembered Miraleth was still lying naked on the bathroom floor.
"What is that sound? It came from the bathroom; you heard the sound, right?" Olena asked, and Aiden chuckled.
"What sound? I didn’t hear a sound... So about the helping hand you wanted to..."
Olena knew Aiden was hiding something; she had no idea what, but she needed to look into the bathroom, and so she peeled away from Aiden, heading towards the bathroom when she heard his voice.
"STOP!!" Aiden spoke in a hoarse voice, causing Olena to turn around in shock. In her entire life, she had never met a man who had the guts to shout at her.
Even the male priests who were above her in the church still treated her with some form of respect; now she knew what he was hiding was so important that she could see it, but she still had no idea what he was hiding, as it never occurred to her that Aiden, who was newly appointed as the Head Priest, would have sex with a priestess.
"Your Holiness, I’m simply checking the source of the sound; it’s probably nothing, but I’ll feel much better if I check. We can’t let anything happen to the only surviving male priest," She replied.
"No need to worry, I have everything covered... The sound you heard is probably something that fell," Aiden spoke as he slowly walked towards the door.
He didn’t have any excuses to give, and he wasn’t sure he could convince her to keep it quiet; with the way she behaved, it seemed like she wanted to get something on him.
"That reminds me," Olena said, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Someone was assigned to remain here in case you needed anything. Yesterday there was no one in sight; the bathroom was used, so she’s supposed to be cleaning, and I saw plates in your room that need washing. Any idea where she is?" Olena asked
’Damn, she’s good, and I’m pretty sure she already knows what’s happening, and since she’s still pushing for it, she must want something. What the hell does she want?’
"Maybe she stepped out for a moment," Aiden replied, but Olena didn’t speak; instead, she took another step backwards towards the bathroom.
’She knew for sure he was hiding something, something that involved the priestess sent to watch over him, but she still had no idea what it was’
"She’s probably in the kitchen; maybe she fell asleep in there," Aiden quickly replied as the door to the kitchen was closed. Still, Olena continued, and now she was just two steps away from the door of the bathroom.
She still didn’t turn around to peek and continued staring at Aiden. She could see the look on his face, and finally she turned around.
