Spoiler!
Camilla prepares to meet a guest who is a priest named Daniel (he is Emperor's number 1 lackey). She is not very fond of religious people because of her bad past experiences with them. However, she meets him politely. Daniel tells her that the church is interested in her because they believe her special ability might be a divine blessing. He invites her to attend the opening ceremony of the Festival of Abundance, an important event held by the temple. Before leaving, Daniel gives Camilla a “sacred relic,” a necklace said to have divine power and bring eternal peace. Camilla feels uneasy hearing the word “eternal,” but hides her discomfort. After he leaves, Chris tells her that the relic is quite popular and believed to protect people from illness. However, Camilla finds it strange because the necklace looks simple and not very special, making her question why people value it so much. 
 
Camilla hears about a red stone necklace that people believe can prevent illness and improve health. It’s treated like a sacred treasure, but it’s very expensive and can only be obtained after making a large donation to a temple. Camilla finds this suspicious, since the priests who preach equality are clearly favoring those with money. Still, she wonders if the stone might really work.
I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule you will find me in most romantic historical manhwa comment sections

@Introvert  So
Spoiler!
She decides not to use the necklace herself and instead plans to give it to her father, even though he rarely gets sick. Later, Camilla remembers the necklace and examines it more closely. While holding it, she feels a strange warm sensation, and suddenly the stone cracks and breaks with a spark. She is confused and annoyed, thinking it might be poorly made, especially considering how valuable it is. However, she can’t ignore the strange feeling she experienced when it broke. 

Before she can think more about it, a servant urgently calls her to meet a guest. To her surprise, it’s Jayner, the son of Duke Escra. He arrives claiming he was sent by his father to stay close to Camilla and protect her. Duke Sorfel, Camilla’s father, doesn’t like this situation but allows Jayner to stay as a guest.
 
When they are alone, Jayner drops his polite act and reveals his usual sly personality. He tells Camilla that her recent actions in Javenil caused quite a stir and that his father was worried about her safety. Camilla realizes this is why Jayner has been sent to stay with her. Jayner also mentions he has work in the area, which involves dealing with “bad people,” hinting at his role as leader of assassination guild. Camilla is uneasy but tells him not to get caught. Even though she finds him annoying and troublesome, she admits it’s better to have him around than risk more danger. The ceremony takes place in a large, neat garden behind the temple. The place feels calm and almost like a forest because of the many old trees. However, one tree stands out because it has no leaves and looks dead.
@Introvert  then
Spoiler!
Chris explains that this is called the “Tree of the Supreme Deity.” Camilla finds the name overly grand and thinks it’s strange that even a lifeless tree is treated as something divine. She also learns that the temple gives out special necklaces that promise “eternal rest,” which she doesn’t fully trust. As the event begins, important figures arrive, including the pope and High Priest Daniel. Everyone shows respect, but Camilla notices something unusual, she sees a ghostly priestess standing next to the pope. The ghost looks like a young woman in white robes and behaves rudely, muttering insults and even calling the pope foolish. Camilla is shocked that a priestess, even as a ghost, would act this way. She realizes the ghost is staring angrily at the red pendant the pope is wearing, which looks just like the necklace Camilla received.

The ceremony continues with long prayers and speeches that Camilla finds very boring. Even the ghost priestess complains about how dull everything is. Eventually, the pope steps forward to perform a blessing on the special tree. He uses his divine power, and small leaves begin to grow on the previously dead branches. The crowd is amazed and happy, believing this means a good harvest year. Camilla, however, feels confused and thinks people are reading too much into it. After that, everyone attending the ceremony is asked to pray to the tree. Camilla is not interested but has no choice. While looking at the tree, she suddenly notices something surprising a small red dragon flying above it. She recognizes it as Draggy, whom she met before in the Gracia Empire.
So
Spoiler!
The dragon happily flies to her and even lands on her head, calling her out as someone it knows. Camilla is startled and wants to react, but she holds herself back because of the crowd around her. The dragon explains that it is natural for it to be there, calling itself connected to the season of autumn. Even though the situation is strange and unexpected, Camilla tries to stay calm while dealing with both the ghost priestess and the dragon at the same time.  
Next it was Camilla’s turn to receive the blessing and red dragon is like if you want I can make that tree bloom and everyone will praise you but Camilla stopped him because even though she doesn’t do anything everyone's attention is always on her, so she doesn’t want more attention and he should refrain to use his powers or else she would summon Isla from the spirit world to torment them and then red dragon is scared 😂 So when Camilla went to receive the blessing the dead tree bloomed all of a sudden as she prayed under it and everyone is shocked by this but Camilla was so furious at the season dragon that he fled the place 😂😂
