Tangled By Fate

Chapter 13 - DUTY CALLS



Chapter 13 - DUTY CALLS

The heat of those two couldn't be controlled. The cool night breeze wasn't enough to cool them off.

Even though she was on the verge of fainting from the pleasure, he didn't stop playing with her hole. He persistently used his three fingers to slip them in and out.

"Hnng! Aaah!" Veronica couldn't help but scream. As the blood continued to pulse through her core, her wet entrance twitched and began to contract. Veronica's toned thighs began to tremble. She reached her peak without any warning.

Veronica threw her head on the back and her silver locks danced. A tingling sensation spread all over her body and it caused her to spasm. The blissful moment passed away slowly and her senses dulled. She had no strength left.

Realizing that her drug went off, he carefully laid her down. He saw her emerald eyes stared at the ceiling without expression. He looked down on her nude body with appreciation in his eyes before he wiped his wet lips with his hand and licked it.

After that, he got off the bed and went straight to the bathroom. The hot water was already cooled. He soaked himself in the cool water and sighed. He placed his hand on his hard member and moved his hand continuously. He recalled her naked body, alluring expression, seductive moans, sensual feelings, sweet and unique scent. His hand's pace quickened and soon he reached the climax.

"Haah… haah… haah…" he panted heavily and thought, 'It was a long night.'

Flashback ends –

Arthur felt his throat dry. In the morning, his body was growing hot.

"Huff! Huff!" Veronica panted as she reached the secret door to the kitchen. She ran so fast that she felt like her lungs were about to explode. She took a deep breath before going to the top of the tower where she lived and changed her clothes.

She was already ten minutes late. She didn't have enough time to bathe. Therefore, she only changed her clothes and stuffed the rest of the clothes under the bed.

She nervously went to the inner temple to report her presence. She stood up in front of the Head Priest's office and took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Come in." She could hear a stern voice coming from inside. She gulped and went inside. She spoke in a timid voice, "Please excuse me."

She saw a woman, around fifty years old, reading the holy book of Goddess Juvena sitting beside the East windows. The wrinkles on her face were prominent, complimenting her serious countenance rather accurately. And, a few of her hair strands turned grey. She was wearing a simple white garment and a golden colored belt just like Veronica.

Without lifting her head, she said, "A human's great virtue is punctuality. Have I forgotten to teach you this?"

Veronica lowered her head in shame. "No, Sister Josephine. I'm sorry. It won't happen again." It was the first time she had done something like this.

Sister Josephine adjusted her brown colored round spectacles and stated, "Don't promise something you cannot keep. You are fifteen minutes late. Hurry up and finish all the work you have to. If you managed to stay obedient for the following three months, you will be appointed as an apprentice priest."

Veronica gasped in surprise. Her lips quivered. It was her dream, being a priest who could bring peace to the world. She gleefully said, "Thank you so much, Sister Josephine."

Sister Josephine nonchalantly dismissed her, "Hmm, you can go now."

Veronica nodded, "Yes, I will! But, what about the Head Priest?"

Sister Josephine replied, "He went to the prayer room. If you have anything to tell him, do it after you are done with work."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Josephine." Thanking her once again, Veronica set off to start her duties.

The whole day, she was busy wiping and cleaning. She didn't have any time to think about yesterday's events. She only took a little break during lunch, that too for lunch and went to the kitchen.

Since she was late, most of the brothers and sisters were already done eating. Even the kitchen staff had left to take some rest. The only person she could see was the cook. He would stay in the kitchen until everyone finished eating. Meaning, he was especially waiting for her.

The cook saw her entering the kitchen and exclaimed in concern, "My dear Ver, why do you look so worn out? Are you having a hard time in the inner temple?"

Veronica sat on the bench and placed her head on the wooden table. "Why were there no people to help me?" She was so tired that she couldn't even move her arms, legs, and waist properly. It had been a long time since she worked this much.

The cook was a round shaped middle aged man. He had a curvy mustache. He always showed it off to everyone with pride. He had been taking care of Veronica since she was a child.

The cook served her meal and commented, "That's odd. Why would you be doing the chores all alone? The inner temple is larger than the inner palace!"

"I have been thinking the same thing. Uncle Felix, do I have to work alone for the next three months?" Veronica gave him a pitiful look.

Cook Felix stroked her head while replying, "Ver dear, you have to ask this to Sister Josephine directly. She manages everything."

"Sister Josephine," she mumbled the nun's name before taking a sharp breath. 'Could it be because I was fifteen minutes late? That's too much!' She cried without shedding tears.

Crying wouldn't solve anything. She thanked Goddess Juvena for the meal and prayed for the food provider's health and then, she began to eat.

Cook Felix sat across the bench. "Ver, there was something I had to say to you."

Veronica responded while eating, "Mm? What is it?"

"It was your birthday and I could only give you this," Cook Felix placed a small brown colored parchment bag and gently shoved it toward her.

Veronica opened the pouch and found her favorite cookies inside. She beamed with happiness. "Uncle Felix, thank you for the gift! No one gave me any presents on my birthday and you are late too." She pouted while complaining.

"I went to meet you last night to give you the cookies you liked. Unfortunately, you weren't home," he accused her as he crossed his arms.

"Ah!" The smile vanished from Veronica's face instantly. Her face paled.

She was out all night. How could he give it to her?

Everyone was supposed to retire to their rooms around ten in the evening. Since he couldn't get to meet her, that meant she was in the town at that time.

She nervously raised her head and noticed his curious look. It was very clear. He wanted to know where she had been around that period of time.

How could she tell him that she broke the temple rules? She was about to become an apprentice priest. She couldn't ruin such an opportunity just because of this.

She began to stammer, "Umm… the thing is…"
