Upon seeing Tara return, Shaer directly handed her the letter he had just written.
“Here, this is what you need to do next,” Shaer said softly, shaking the letter slightly in his hand.
“Yes, Lord Shaer,” Tara replied respectfully, extending her hands to take the letter, and then began to read.
Hmm... prepare the carriage to Beiansu...
Have Miss Adele pack her belongings...
Prepare the press release and promotional materials for the Goddess of Salvation to address the famine in Beiansu...
Oversee the church integration work and expedite the process...
Get ready for my promotion to Tier 3, to handle the more complex tasks ahead...
Tara scanned the information in front of her, then nodded towards Shaer and said, “I understand, Lord Shaer.”
Tara grasped almost instantly what Lord Shaer needed her to do... She was expanding the influence of the Goddess of Salvation.
She wanted the Goddess of Salvation to return to the peak it had reached during the Holy War era... no, even stronger.
Tara had no doubt that Lord Shaer would succeed. After a moment of thought, she said, “I’ll go prepare our luggage right away, Lord Shaer...”
“Stay here and focus on your tier advancement,” Shaer interrupted her.
Tara was taken aback by his words. She fought the urge to look up at Shaer, and after a long pause, she finally asked, “Lord Shaer... you don’t need me to accompany you to Beiansu?”
I knew it...
Seeing Tara with her head down, looking dejected as if she had been abandoned, Shaer gently shook his head.
In a way, Tara was no different from a puppy; she wagged her tail happily when her master was around, but her face fell the moment they parted.
Shaer seemed to have anticipated Tara’s reaction. He stood up, walked over to her, and placed his hand on her head, gently ruffling her hair.
“The church integration is at a critical moment, and the long journey will affect your resurrection ritual,” Shaer said, looking at Tara. “I’ll only be gone for a few days. I hope to see you as a Tier 3 ‘Radiant Bishop’ by the time I return.”
Feeling the warmth on her head and hearing Lord Shaer’s gentle words, Tara blinked, her eyes stinging slightly.
I can’t believe I let Lord Shaer comfort me... what a useless servant I am...
Not only did I fail to share his worries, but I’ve made him worry about me instead...
But...
Lord Shaer... is concerned about me...
Tara bit her lip and finally whispered, “Mm...”
She didn’t quite understand why her feelings were so complicated.
She felt sad about the separation, yet touched and happy by Lord Shaer’s concern.
“I will work hard, Lord Shaer. By the time you return, I will become a ‘Radiant Bishop,’” Tara took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions within her, and said with her head bowed.
“Then I can rest easy,” Shaer smiled as he withdrew his hand. “Now go prepare.”
Tara left the house to inform Adele and help Shaer complete the tasks outlined in the letter.
Once Tara had left, Shaer surveyed the room and stood up, preparing to leave as well.
Before heading to Beiansu to find the Dragon Eagle, he had some matters to attend to.
Say goodbye to Aivina, coordinate with Duke Russell and Pope Erigema to elevate the Goddess of Salvation as the new state religion...
Duke Russell would naturally not refuse, and as for Erigema, Shaer could offer her an irresistible condition.
The reason he didn’t bring Aivina along was that Amy’s “Queen Bee” resurrection ritual required Aivina’s assistance.
Instead of taking a carriage, Shaer chose to walk directly towards the Russell residence.
Meanwhile, Eleanor, who was waiting at the door, was sent by Shaer to bring Imogen to his home to wait.
