After getting over my initial surprise at seeing Vanessa dressed in church robes, she led me away from the main hall.
The cathedral was packed today.
Pilgrims, students, nobles, and believers from all across the continent filled every corner of the building, making it impossible to have a proper conversation.
Fortunately, Vanessa seemed to have quite a bit of authority here now.
The moment she gave a small nod to the nearby sisters, they quietly excused themselves without asking any questions, leaving us with one of the private rooms reserved for the nuns.
The door closed behind us.
The outside chatter immediately became a faint murmur.
Vanessa took a seat across from me before tilting her head curiously.
"So... you're looking for Emmy, Senior?"
"Yeah."
"That's unfortunate..."
She smiled apologetically.
"Emmy left the cathedral not too long ago."
"...Where'd she go?"
Vanessa let out a small laugh.
"Honestly?"
"I have no idea."
"..."
