Dragon City, Holy Mountain.
The melodious sound of bells, carrying a marvelous force to soothe people's hearts, spread to every corner of the Holy Light Cathedral.
Cardinal Mensai, dressed in a red robe, passed through the tranquil long corridor and walked into the prayer hall.
In the hall, another Cardinal, Noputon, was praying in front of the statue of the Lord of Glory.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Noputon ended his prayer, turned back to look at the slowly approaching Mensai, and nodded a greeting.
Mensai didn't mind the other's somewhat indifferent attitude. The three Cardinals of the Glorious Church were all candidates for the next Pope, so some competition was inevitably present between them, and their relationship couldn't be described as harmonious.
Upon hearing the news of Turennes' death in Dragon City, both Mensai and Noputon were somewhat ambivalent.
