Chapter 60 The Western Church
Aiden was breathing heavily, and Olena had a smile on her face as she swallowed the rest of his seeds and licked the rest off his dick and her lips. Then she backed away and relaxed on the seat of the carriage.
Aiden couldn’t help as a smile formed on his face; that was possibly the best blowjob/boobjob he’d gotten, not that he’d gotten both at once before, but he knew it would be a long time before anyone topped what Olena did; she had set the bar too fucking high.
Aiden rested his back, taking a deep breath with his eyes closed when the carriage slowly came to a stop; his eyes shot open, and he quickly buttoned the cloak he had on.
He was glad Olena could get him to cum, because if she didn’t, then it would be impossible to hide the bulge, as it would have created a tent around his waist; now the cloak hid his body, and he turned to his side to see Olena fully dressed.
She arranged her hair and then made the move, switching to the other side, as the door was then pulled open by one of the priestesses in the church.
"Good afternoon Miss Olena. I hope you had a wonderful... Your Holiness." She spoke quickly, bowing her head again, and this time she didn’t raise it back up and simply moved out of the way.
Olena climbed down from the carriage, and so did Aiden; only after then did she raise her head back up. Aiden wasn’t expecting to be recognized since he wasn’t dressed for the occasion, so it surprised him a little, but she was a priestess, so he didn’t think much of it.
His eyes went towards the building, and just like the Eastern Church, a huge cross was placed high up on the walls.
The Western Church was smaller than the Eastern Church, but still it was large enough to serve tons of people. The building had a simple but beautiful design, with tall stone walls, large windows, and a large cross at the back of the raised platform.
Besides the church stood another fairly large building to its side with the doors left open, and Aiden immediately realized it was the church library; from where he stood, he could see some priestesses inside the library working on the books, cleaning, dusting, and arranging them on shelves.
"Should I gather the priestesses in the library?" The girl who opened the door for them asked Olena, but before she could answer, Aiden began walking towards the door of the church.
Aiden stepped into the Western Church with Olena and the other priestesses following behind. Inside, the church was empty, as most of the priestesses were either in the library or in their quarters, and Aiden sat down on one of the chairs.
"Your Holiness, would you like a new set of robes?" Olena whispered in his ear.
"Yes, I would," Aiden replied. Then Olena turned towards the other priestess, and she swiftly ran towards the living quarters.
"Has it been long since you visited the Western Church? You seem to be taking in every detail," Olena spoke with a smile on her face.
"When do people mostly visit the church?" Aiden asked.
"Currently, no one is allowed to visit any of the churches; the decree was made by the king, but Saturdays are the main day of worship, when everyone gathers at the church to praise the goddess of light for all her blessings"
"Though the church can be visited at daytime by anyone, in case of injuries, sickness, or simply to see and talk to a priest or priestess about anything troubling their heart," Olena replied.
"The king issued a decree? How come I didn’t hear about it?" Aiden asked.
"You didn’t? No wonder it was surprising. I’m sure a messenger was sent to the Eastern Church last night; maybe Ella forgot to give you the message. With Elaine gone, I hope the priestesses in the Eastern Church aren’t slacking off; maybe I need to visit to put them in shape," Olena spoke as she faced forward.
"Who’s Elaine?" Aiden asked.
"She’s the Head Priestess of the Eastern Church; she’s currently outside the city visiting Luminor," Olena replied.
"Ella isn’t the Head Priestess of the Eastern Church?" Aiden asked.
"Ella isn’t qualified to be the Head Priestess; there are better priestesses in the Eastern Church. She’s simply the oldest there; did she tell you that?" Olena asked.
"No, I just assumed," Aiden replied, and Olena nodded. Just then, the priestess returned with a new robe in her hands; it wasn’t as fancy as the one that got destroyed, but it’ll have to do for now.
She handed the clothes to Olena, who gave her an instruction; then she bowed her head to Aiden before leaving the church.
"Your Holiness, my office is over there; you can change there," Olena said, and Aiden stood up, following Olena to her office.
’So there’s another Head Priestess, and where the hell is Luminor? I really need a map. I’m sure the library here would have a map; I’ll take one’
[Luminor is the second largest city in the kingdom of Elaris; the kingdom of Elaris has 6 cities, and several villages]
’You remember the map in the throne room, right? Wait, Elaris had six cities, but I’m supposed to visit 3 cities, right?’
[Maybe you’re to visit the three largest cities, and with the drawing on the map, the three largest are Luminor, Northlight, Whitehaven, and Eldenwood; the two other cities are smaller in comparison]
’Alright then, just remind me to get a map,’ Aiden mumbled.
Just like the Eastern Church, the hallway leading to the living quarters was close to the raised platform where only priests and priestesses were allowed, but this time they didn’t use the hallway leading inside because besides it was a door which Olena pulled open.
Her office was on the small side, but still it was neat and comfortable. She had a simple table placed in the middle of the room with a chair behind it, and two more chairs in front for guests.
On her table were several books and scrolls, and beside them was a quill along with a small container of ink; the room was simple and fitted to Olena, who spent most of her time here.
Olena handed Aiden the robe and then stepped outside the room, not that she hadn’t seen everything, but her office wasn’t exactly private as any of the priestesses could just walk in.
Aiden quickly took off the cloak and put on the robe; it was almost a perfect fit, and he was starting to look good in the robe.
"Much better," Aiden muttered as he stepped outside her office.
"Shall we visit the library now, Your Holiness?" Olena asked.
"Alright then, lead the way," Aiden replied.
Aiden followed her out, and the moment he stepped inside, he was surprised by how large the library was. It was definitely larger than he imagined, and the sheer amount of books was overwhelming. His eyes then looked forward, and in front of him, all the priestesses in the library had gathered and bowed their heads.
"Your Holiness," They spoke in unison.
"You may raise your heads and return to your duties," Aiden spoke, and the priestesses all walked away; only one of them walked towards Aiden and Olena.
"Your Holiness, my name is Rona. I’m the librarian; I’m pleased that you visited the library. What books are you interested in, or would you like to browse by yourself?" She spoke.
"Rona, what a pleasant name... Tell me about the library," Aiden replied, and a smile immediately formed on her face.
"Thank you, Your Holiness... This is the main library of the Church where copies and some original books are kept. Most of the books here are available to everyone, though some sections are restricted to members of the church only," Rona said.
Aiden nodded as he looked around. He wasn’t really interested in most of the books, and there was no way he could read most of them, but still he would have to, to learn more about this world he was in; he needed to understand the history, the church, and everything in between.
"I’d like beginner magic books, spell books, and a detailed map," Aiden replied, and Rona nodded before calling one of the other girls.
She bowed her head and then turned to Rona, who instructed her to get what Aiden wanted. The girls quickly dashed away as Aiden continued walking further into the library.
The library was simple, a straight room with tall shelves, each one packed with books from top to bottom, and the room had no stairs. Since the shelves were high, a ladder had to be placed beside them to reach the books at the top, but each section of the shelves was labeled, and most of the books were also labeled.
There were several ladders in the room, and at the far end of the library was a large wooden counter. A single chair was placed behind it, along with a small shelf which had even more books.
Soon, the girl Rona sent came back, her hands filled with books, and Aiden counted 8 along with the map she held.
