The Two Empresses
The Great Priestess

Slowly a girl of gentle and graceful stature, in a roman-style dress that showed off almost all of her white skin without a single speck of stain entered the room. His face was covered by a white hood, but his smile was unable to be blocked. Both of them were unable to cover their admiration and were impressed. The Great Priestess took off her hood and displayed the exact same look as Saciel, just a different hair color as bright as a violet flower. His face was sumringah and immediately splashed into the arms of the red-haired girl.

"Sister!" his screams with an unstoppable happiness.

"Cerlina! I miss you, my twin sister," said Saciel, hugging her tightly as if she did not want to be separated. "You look so pretty."

"You too. I didn't expect you to come to see me that determined," Cerlina said. "Even Phillip."

"He dragged me here" Phillip said.

"Just boy. You want to come, why blame me?" saciel Syndicate. The purple-haired priest only laughed faintly hearing that. "From that, are you okay?"

"Yes. They took good care of me, even treated me like a princess" he replied.

"But you're not happy, are you?" ask Phillip. Cerlina nodded, her face looking sad. "I understand very well you're suffering here."

"of course. I was separated from my family when I was 3 years old. Not only did they forbid me from meeting my parents, but they educated me to become a Great Priest. When Mama and Papa died, they didn't even let me see them just to pay their last respects" Cerlina said.

"I understand how you feel, Cerlina. Though many of us are twins, but none of them are forced to become temple women" Phillip said. "What is this.something planned?"

"Can be. My family is one of the 7 Eternal Wizards, automatically our position is quite high," said Saciel annoyed. "Huh, why was it that I was the only one who came? Which other one?"

"I don't think they're invited, huh. I didn't see their names on the list that the receptionist brought in" Phillip replied.

"It's just a political game, no need to think about it" Cerlina said. "They just want their rotten intentions not to be caught." They just shut up and look at each other. Not long after, an old priest came in and saluted.

"Time is up, please leave the temple immediately" he said. Saciel snorted and pulled his collar.

"I don't remember any time limit when I came here" he said cynically. "Who limits my time?"

"Archduchess Arakawa, I hope you stop oppressing the priest," Cerlina lerai. He covered his face with a hood and gave a faint smile, "don't make trouble here. Your late parents won't like."

"Curtain, dammit," he said. Encouraged the old priest and turned to Cerlina with her face made as flat as possible.

"I understand, Great Priest. Let this despicable fellow return to the city with his comrade. Thank you for the time you've taken for us" Saciel said. Cerlina simply nodded, then returned to the throne. Tears slowly fell on the floor and no one knew. Phillip pulled Saciel with a little force, not caring about the moans and gestures that slid from the red-haired girl's lips. Upon arrival at the entrance gate, two nuns waited in their clothes.

"Can you show us where the dressing room is?" phillip asked while taking clothes from them.

"Follow this road and you'll reach the barn" said a nun. They rushed towards the warehouse without caring for the cynical gazes of the two nuns.

"I think the news has spread far, eh?" saciel Syndicate. His hands snatched away the clothes Phillip was carrying and regardless of his existence, removed the robe and thrown in any direction. Phillip could only stare and instantly turn around.

"Heh, I thought you'd enjoy it" Saciel said. Phillip snorted annoyedly at hearing that.

"Indeed, but I realize I'm just your friend. I also still have my pride, so please understand," Phillip replied no less cynical. He immediately changed his clothes and folded his robe and the girl's robe neatly. "For the sake of God Oorun, can you behave like a girl in general?"

"I don't think the general definition can be easily explained" Phillip replied as he placed their robes on the ground. The magical girl immediately flicked her fingers and a fire appeared suddenly and engulfed the robes quickly without any residue. "Hand."

Phillip immediately grabbed his wrist and Saciel flicked his finger again. They are now moving in front of an old building in the city center. Red flags with black sun emblems dotted the entire city. Some little ones were busy playing with the toy dragon in their hands.

"Red Sun Festival? I was hoping to bring Cerlina here, let her enjoy the festival without the burden of responsibility as a sucks "great priest"" Saciel said. His hand picked up a flag that fell and his gaze glazed over, "when we were 3 years old, Papa and Mama took us to the festival. I remember how happiness emanated from his face, his fear of facing the attraction of imitation dragons and the pain of falling from the stairs. If time could come back."

"That's impossible" Phillip said. "But at the very least, Cerlina could go out for a moment from the temple to lead her ceremony."

"You're right. Oh look, I think the army's picking us up" Saciel said. A group of soldiers walked towards them with flat faces.

"Saciel Arakawa and Phillip Arlestine, come with us to the elders" the leader said.

"Why are you telling me to come along? And again, where's your manners?" Saciel asked with a threatening tone that was able to make the soldiers wink.

"On charges of wreaking havoc at the Oorun Temple and injuring an old priest, Archduchess Arakawa" the leader replied.

"Oh? Did the old priest report everything?"

"No. A temple girl did it," the leader replied. The two men frowned at hearing it.

"I don't know if there's a temple girl there" Phillip said. "Aren't they all nuns?"

"No. In the room of the Great Priest, there were several temple girls appointed to serve him without the intervention of the nun monks" the leader said.

"I think he's peeking out from behind the throne" Saciel quipped. "Because there are witnesses, let's go meet the elders or we'll end up in a painful punishment."

"Before that, we have to handcuff you," said the leader. The soldiers handcuffed their hands behind their backs.

"That's smart. I can't do anything if you handcuff me, let alone with special handcuffs" Saciel booed. "The strongest spell that only my family can have."

"Wouldn't that make it easier for you?" ask Phillip.

"If I'm able to master it, it'll be very easy. Unfortunately, I've never been taught anything about this magic" Saciel replied.

"Let's go!" snapping a soldier while pushing them to walk. The two walked while grumbling in their hearts. No one spoke during the trip, making the air around feel heavy.

"St, Saciel. You sure you don't know anything about this handcuff magic?" whispered Phillip.

"Do I look like I'm lying to you?" reply lirih.

"To be honest, you're a magician with a poker face so I don't know what your real face is right now."

"Well, let's see it later in the palace. I want to see how angry Elder Erika is to us" he said, smiling blankly.
