Along with three normal robes, boots, and accessories that were equally beautiful nonetheless! Along with even a jewelry box!
After finding such treasures the young prince had soon explored the room before then finding several pendants of Selphine and The Gospel of Selphine?!
Causing him after several moments of sheer amazement to then adorably calm down a put it away as well having wanted to read it with Selphie after all? Other than that he found six sets of Elf Priestess Bedding of sheets, blankets, comforters, and pillows?
All of which was pristine and entirely clean much like the beds themselves? Causing the young prince to then adorably put it away as well now hoping to find a rug?
In truth, the young prince would truly search the entire temple up and down collecting sets of anything really?
Now he really just wants to go to the armory while he waits for Desmen to return and Yunari to fix those puppets? At least not Void Puppets since they were quite different.
Unfortunately after dropping off the corpses and puppets Desman had requested to investigate the altar room that was for some reason untouched and sealed in the hopes of assisting this investigation and clear the area before searching the other rooms?
Causing the young prince to then reluctantly agree since Desman was being quite active even if he was simply a magic incarnation controlling a puppet? After what felt like three hours had passed Desman hadn't returned..
And the three other Three Legendary Puppet Commanders had been brought back from death even if they were still damaged resulting in them also assisting in the repairs of both each other and the forty of so Archmage puppets?
Causing the young prince after waking up from such a long nap to then adorably rub his eyes before then realizing he was surrounded by all four puppets while the forty or so remained outside surprising him before then noticing Desman hadn't returned.
Causing Yunari to then helplessly nod.
"No response back, I didn't wish to wake you, from last I remembered the Altar room itself should have remained untouched-"
Yunari explained before then quickly being cut off causing the young prince to then freeze having expected a mental message to wake him up but one never came.
Causing him to then frown before then nodding and switching to Aurea surprising all four puppets before then being cut off.
"Aurel, Aurea, same person! Accidental Ancestral Inheritances are fun.. now I suppose we should goto the armory, get free stuff, activate the puppets, and go find that hussy who stole my puppet!"
"I swear to the gods if she destroyed my prototype puppet I worked so hard on I'm going to bite her head off!"
Aurea angrily confessed before then simply transferring the explanation to all four resulting in all four simply looking at each other and shrugging the best that puppets could..
They also knew he had an Ophidian Royal Bloodline since most Legendary Puppets had abilities to check but simply didn't care while Yunari himself knew the effects of an Ancestral Inheritance and have been around those who did as well resulting in nothing really changing.
Causing Yunari to then ultimately lead the way and fortunately, enough nothing had breached The Temples' Armory causing Aurea to then quickly switch back to Aurel.
Causing the young prince after examining and reading what he could to then adorably places his hand on the door resulting in it subsequently recognizing both his bloodlines and titles strangely enough? Perhaps Selphie had updated it?
However, soon enough he was soon blinded by the door simply opening revealing a pristine armory of Temple Guard Armor and Weapon kits, training puppets, targets, temple guard robes, and many more treasures!
Before then quickly being cut off by what appeared to be an Elf Priestess of all people?
Causing the young prince after realizing something then adorably frown having realized this could still very much be in fact the blight-ridden void construct masquerading as a priestess even now?
Causing the young prince to then conjure up his staff causing her to then curiously look at his staff before then adorably giggling and both playfully and magically snatching it away.
"Mr sticky fingers shouldn't jump to conclusions! If you truly wanted to become a priestess you could have simply asked? As for how introductions go? I'm Lady Sephy The Third Holy Spirit of Selphine! I never would've thought I'd see The First Ever Prince and Holy Prince of both The Elves and The Temple of Selphine!"
"I welcome you precious teddy bear! But time is short! Much like what that bully had done I've masqueraded as a normal Priestess of Selphine since that messy accident?"
"Fortunately, she would've never known I was here so I've watched her as much as I could!"
Sephy adorably teased surprising the young prince having realized she was telling the truth not only that he felt a similar aura as both Selphie's.

Albeit not as much and would be most comparable to that of Celestine's causing Sephy after noticing this to then happily continue.
"Surprisingly enough she's sleeping now! She also did you a favor by killing off all of her blight in a fit of rage! So precious! I hope she survives! Those priestess robes and that Elf Bloodline of hers are truly precious! However, she's about to break through to The Sacred Realm any day now!"
"Since after all she used all her power to revive that Void Dragon to prevent anyone from interfering in such a breakthrough! Unfortunately with that being said she managed to combine both the Void and The Blight so that's not good either?"
"But what is 'good' is the simple fact that she had even managed to incorporate the light into the Void itself! I call it Holy Void Magic if there is such a thing?"
Sephy adorably added surprising the young prince having realized despite telling the truth she was apparently still unsure? As for The Holy Void Magic.. could it be the earlier version of The White Void? If so Keres or rather Alfinia would be furious!
In truth, Alfinia could have played with The White Void when she was much younger and predated the rise of The Queen of Senex? In any case, if it was true Keres would want to know!
Resulting in the young prince then helplessly speculating if that being was already a Sacred Powerhouse or if his gut feeling was unwarranted?
Causing Yunari after noticing this to then frown.. albeit as much as a puppet could? In truth, he was also curious about a certain matter.
"I have a question, your holiness?"
Yunari curiously asked causing Sephy to then excitedly nod having remembered Yunari.
"I'm so happy you survived! A spirit constructed inside of a puppet is no doubt someone who's very special! Losing such a person would be quite saddening! Right, my apologies! Ask away!"
Sephy adorably answered causing Yunari to then slowly nod.
"From my recollection, Holy Spirits are typically Gods responsible over faith, vaults, and perhaps even more? If so why didn't you even attempt to defend this temple?"
"Why masquerade as a simple priestess? Where were you when our brothers and sisters and even those Void Elves were slaughtered?"
"Where were The Temple Guards? And why wasn't The Temple Guard Puppets ever activated? They could have easily contained The Blight?"
Yunari asked surprising everyone including the three other Legendary Puppets having not expected Commander Foxtrot to ask such a question of a Holy Spirit while the young prince himself was curious causing Sephy to then adorably nod.
"You're right! Holy Spirits are typically gods as for me I'm a Silver God who'd eventually breakthrough to that of a Gold God! As for me not offering assistance, it wasn't my responsibility? Holy Spirits have strict guidelines! While for The Temple Guards and why their equally capable Temple Guard Puppets were never activated?"
"They had been ordered to evacuate the Orphans, Priestesses, Trainees, Guests, and finally themselves despite such a reluctance while The Temple Guard Puppets were 'supposed' to be activated but unfortunately by the time they were supposed to be it was already over!"
"So there really wasn't a reason to? I neither wished to wake her up nor reveal my identity so I didn't! If The First Holy Prince of The Temple of Selphine wasn't with you I would've never revealed my identity outside of that of a simple priestess!"
Sephy happily explained surprising everyone especially since she could have quite literally cleansed the temple with a single thought! Despite such a unique existence nothing below that of a Bronze God could truly put up much resistance?
As for the guidelines, the young prince had learned something similar from Lady Celestine?
Meaning he understood to an extent but Lady Celestine could still override such guidelines if needed meaning if The Vaults or even if The Celestial Vale was about to get smited by a Gold or even Platinum God she'd immediately react even if it meant her life?
Causing Jade to then remind him of the differences between temples, holy spirits and the personal choice of overriding such guidelines causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod.
While Yunari despite understanding it all felt there was nothing holy about allowing their temple to be ravaged, their guests slaughtered and nothing to be done meaning he was quite hesitant to take anything of what she said as truth?
Even if he still greatly respected her as both a Priestess and Holy Spirit? but unfortunately after discovering she was a Silver God he had to take this opportunity? Causing him after some thought to then simply nod.
"Let's make a wager your holiness?"
Yunari asked surprising everyone causing Sephy's eyes to then excitedly sparkle.
"Oh! What kind of wager?"
Sephy excitedly asked causing Yunari to then simply nod once more.
"Let's say for example if that creature had already entered into The Sacred Realm and perhaps much earlier than you estimated? In turn, you'd make me an Elf with the resemblance of who I was in my former life?"
"Celestial Prince Yunari Vulpes Vale.. and sixty-nine million platinum? And if necessary the sealing of The Entrance of The Altar door if.. let's say we were to be overwhelmed? As for what I'll give you if I lose.. Three bottles of Chilled Vulpes Brandy and I'd pray to you whenever I'm able-"
Yunari curiously wagered surprising the young prince before then quickly being cut off causing Sephy to then excitedly nod.
"I accept! But If I lose this wager.. I do 'all' those things and still get one-two Vulpes Brandies as a reward for considering this wager! So a fee! Now with that out of the way? For our First Holy Prince I offer you a wager or rather a deal as well!"
"If you spare her or find a way to seal her rather than killing that precious Priestess Trainee I'll allow you to access the vault and gather all the valuables or rather what you believe are valuables all it all together into my favorite space ring and give it to you! I'll also teach you how to become a priestess of Selphine!"
"But! If you fail you'll become a priestess trainee and have to look for all the goodies on your own! It'll take you hours to look in so many rooms so I wager that'll give you an incentive!"
Sephy adorably wagered before then disappearing and appearing behind the young prince causing her to then happily wrap her arms around him causing him to then adorably blush before then happily nodding in agreement.
"Good! As for the armory itself, I'll collect all the good stuff and throw it into a space ring as a freebie! As for the puppets.. I'll withhold the High-Level Sacred Temple Guard Puppets! I didn't say it was gonna be easy Mr sticky fingers!"
"Let's call it a test! There are fourteen Sacred Realms in Reserve, twenty-eight Legendary Realms, and two hundred and twenty-two Archmage Realm Temple Guards all together!"
"But I'll only allow ten Legendary Realm Temple Guard Puppets and eighty Archmage Variants! You can claim the rest after they're all done!"
Sephy happily suggested before then quickly finishing up!
"But before you do I'd like to give you a friendly suggestion? Requip yourself and your puppets with Temple Guard Armor and Weapon Kits! Be it the Blight, Void, Bugs, Darkness or anything else sinister those were created for just that!"
"As for a bonus, I'll simply conjure them all up and toss all their old kits in so you don't have to use the kits currently in the armory?"
Sephy happily suggested surprising the young prince having felt overwhelmed by so much and how easy it all was causing him to then feel as if despite it all sounding easier with so many puppets nothing at all is simple?
