That was why the priests were busier than usual right now.

Gersey started to speak after seeing the White Star�s gaze that seemed to be asking if it was okay that he was here when it was such a busy time.

�I left the festival-related tasks with the Deputy Chief Priest so that I can slack off like this.�
�Ha! The Deputy Chief Priest will be upset if she hears that.�
�Hahaha, do you think so, sire? But I�m just so full of anticipation. I can�t focus on anything else right now.�

Gersey smiled brightly.

�I am extremely looking forward to the true day of the festival.�

The White Star�s gaze sunk down.

Gersey looked at him and continued to speak.

�The last day.�

The last day of the festival.

�That day will be a festival for me.�

Pfft.

The White Star chuckled at Gersey�s comment.

�Gersey, half the people here will die. Is that entertaining?�
�But that means that you will be that much closer to becoming a transcended being, my liege.�

The two of them looked at each other and their smiles became thicker.

The White Star started to speak again in a low voice.

� �Those things� are safe, right?�
�Yes, sir. They�re fine.�
�And their feed?�
�We are feeding them properly. I do need to go feed them again in an hour though.�

Gersey continued to speak with an expression that seemed to be saying that he was extremely fidgety from excitement.

�I can�t do it, sire. I must go check on the �feed.� Those terrible things cause such a ruckus when we don�t feed them and they are very scary to look at.�
�Aren�t you usually the type to follow the rules?�

The White Star looked at Gersey as if this was odd.

Gersey was the type who was always strict about being on time and following the rules.

He would normally move according to the schedule. JrNovels.com
