The First Child Ezra Lancaster also gave his approval towards the candidate directly, confirming that the blessing she had received was truthful and should be celebrated. In front of all the watching eyes, he asked the Cardinal for permission to mingle with the candidate.
Everybody knew how much the First Child loved the Goddess, so no one found it odd that he wanted to get along with whoever was his kin.
The Cardinal also thought similarly, and remembering his last meeting with Ezra, he permitted the request. He thought that with this, the future powerful Saintess will be tied down to the Holy Land, and she might even be able to shake the mind of Ezra, who up until now refused to stand in the name of Palla.
Their strength would grow! It seemed like the day when the Holy Land would stand taller than the Empire was nearing.
