When the morning prayer ended, I stood up and walked to the edge of the railing. My sitting position was perfectly lined up with the Goddess' statue so Ertha could see me. She smiled at me and nodded.
The other people also noticed me and bowed.
"Sir Arthur, are you going to…"
"Yeah."
I nodded at Sana, who called out to me. It was the perfect time to announce it formally.
A grand ceremony would mean nothing if there were no guests. I knew that Tris would love to invite only our friends, but I couldn't do that. I was a Paladin. And whether I liked it or not, any formal ceremony or event related to me would be big.
Eli looked at me curiously from the ground floor. She sat near the front area, probably thanks to the nuns coming with her.
As for Tris, she glared at me as if daring me to say what I wanted to say from the corner. Rania giggled beside her, and Sophia looked rather clueless.
