The Deputy Chief Priest was the person right under Chief Priest Gersey, but he supposedly had his own trusted subordinates who took care of things for him.
There were about five of them who only listened to Gersey.

�I haven�t been able to put one of my people there yet.�
�That�s okay. This information is already extremely beneficial, Deputy Chief Priest-nim.�
�Then I�m relieved. Anyway, I put some notes down about my suspicions. Young master Naru, you unexpectedly speak in a way that sounds nice to the listener.�

She was being respectful to Naru as if she had never called Cale a little kid.

�Thank you.�

Cale gently responded to her as if it was nothing.

�It�s over now.�

Information on the underground facility and the last day of the festival.
And �Cale� confirming the Deputy Chief Priest�s face.

Cale had confirmed everything he had come for today.

�Alright, now then!�

The Deputy Chief Priest smiled brightly.
Cale was starting to get ready to say goodbye.

She then started to speak.

�Alright, shall we go check on the hostages?�

�What?�

Cale questioned his ears for a moment.

�Check what?�

The Deputy Chief Priest didn�t seem to have noticed Cale�s state as she headed toward the door she came from earlier.
It was the door heading underground.

�Hmm? What is it, young master Naru?�
�Ah, you see��

The Deputy Chief Priest went, �ah!� and continued to speak as Cale was trying to figure out what to say.

�Young master Naru, you must have been shocked because I called them hostages. Don�t worry, it is not as cruel a situation as a little kid would be thinking about.�

��Yes, ma�am.�

She continued to speak to the stiff Cale as if she pitied him. JrNovels.com
