Chapter 107: Good News
I never actually thought I would be in times of war, I never thought I would experience it first hand, and more I never thought I would be in a position where I would have to pray for my husband’s safe return.
☆Banging Bells☆
It was the temple bells. I placed my palms together, bending my head and closing my eyes. It has been two months since I found out my husband was at war, two months since my unfortunate accident and the death of Princess Alice. Dear gods of this land, I pray for a safe return for my husband, please. My body trembled, it has been nothing but torture without him, I barely slept and I couldn’t help but feel worried all the time or be in a daze of what he might be passing through over there, I knew nothing of what a battlefield would be like but I could only imagine, please gods and goddess, let him come back to me, let him come back to us.
I will wait for you Cedric, I didn’t mind how long as long as he comes back.
"Sylvia", at the sound of her voice I turned to Mother beside me. She smiled.
"Let us go"
I smiled with a nod.
We both came here on some occasions to pray for Cedric and his victory for battle, it was traditional in the Empire. We both descended the temple stairs, other wives were still coming in too, there were a lot of them and I knew just how much of a reality this was. I adjusted my hood properly as the wind got strong.
"Emperor Edric time is almost up" Mother began.
