"-And this is your room, Duchess. Once again, you have honored us with your visit. This is something we will never forget."
The priest flattered the duchess once more, but she kept a neutral face. She was used to dealing with these people, and it was easy for her to see past their hypocrisy now.
However, just because she knew that these people were putting up a front did not mean she could treat them as she wanted.
The temple was too strong of an enemy for either her or the emperor. And the temple was not the only faction she had to be careful around—it was just one of the ones that worked in the open.
"I hope you have a nice day here, Duchess. I will come back soon to invite you for dinner."
The priest told her before he left. As soon as the duchess was alone, she decided to head out and warn the shopkeeper.
She had no doubt that the shopkeeper already knew he needed to be careful. And he also knew human nature well.
