Chapter 231
“…Haa.”
Isella sighed deeply, feeling as though the ground beneath her was sinking. She lamented why she had to worry so much.
In the cathedral garden, there was an early-blooming rose garden. It was a beautiful garden, driven more by capital than by praise for God.
However, it did not meet Isella’s standards, and there were many other places to visit in the capital, so she didn’t feel the need to visit the rose garden. At least, not until today.
Isella felt pitiful, unable to go out to the city or enter the cathedral, nervously praying in the garden. She was even praying herself.
‘God, what should I say to Carynne?’
Staying at the cathedral, Isella had started praying to God for the first time in years. It felt awkward since she hadn’t done it in so long, but she couldn’t avoid it. It was that much of a headache.
“Donate only when it’s good for tax purposes, make the most noise when helping others, and never get involved in undesirable situations.”
She should have followed her father’s advice to stay out of matters that didn’t bring benefits. Isella clasped her hands together, looking up at the grand cathedral between the rose bushes.
‘Why did I do something I don’t normally do….’
She couldn’t bring herself to enter the main hall to pray. If she, who never usually prayed, were seen praying, any priest would ask her what was wrong, and Isella wasn’t confident she could answer naturally.
