An Arch-Cardinal was always someone whose status was only below the Holy Light Emperor himself. It was said that there were five of them in the Holy Light Palace, but most of the people had yet to see these five in public.
These people never liked meddling with worldly affairs. In fact, although their status was beneath the Holy Light Emperor, collectively, as a group, they needed not fear the might of the Holy Light Emperor.
It was just that they remained low profile all these years and had never intended to pursue the position and status of the Holy Light Emperor. To them, reputation and status were just worldly desires that people should let go of.
However, there would always be one odd out from the group. He was also the youngest Arch-Cardinal of them and most probably the weakest. But he was not someone to be taken lightly. His prowess could be said to be only beneath the other four Arch-Cardinals and the Holy Light Emperor.
