– See, it’s still hanging there, in a prominent place, – Kamistella showed Faineant her own portrait, painted by an artist at the very beginning of their acquaintance. In terms of attractiveness and the prominence of its placement, Kamistella’s portrait was second only to Kimchilla’s in the gallery.
She showed the lunar elf the statue of Arselia. Perhaps, this is where something was wrong with it. Kamistella revered Akonia, but the only deity that held power in the mansion remained Arselia. But for some reason, this did not bother the mistress herself. Perhaps Kimchilla worshipped Arselia. Or perhaps she saw the statue as nothing more than a decoration for her home. And therefore, Kamistella never felt the slightest dislike for the elegant creation of the unknown master. However, she would not refuse a statue or even a portrait of Akonia. Or even a portrait of Rinze. Just for the sake of beauty, of course.
- Hmm, even harder than mine. – After thinking about something else, he added to his thought. – Still, I like Arselia more than Anuzish, who doesn’t have an official image. What’s the point of a goddess to whom you can’t even strangle your own snake?
– I believe you are well aware of the history of this sect, my friend, – without the influence of the painting, a mysterious light ignited in the lunar elf’s eyes, – it is ironic that it gained widespread popularity around the same time as the ascension of Empress Naria. The Coven of Passion is an unexpected example of how our world can also become a threat to others. And while the Church is firmly convinced of the malevolence of otherworldly beings, the otherworldly beings themselves can easily and simply accuse us of the same. It’s amusing. And what do you think about this depraved sect, my friend?
