"This is a sign from Hopelys herself this young man has done what the mortal had been seen to be impossible he is a treasure a king among kings a ruler of Elgrandia, the church must fully support this divine luminary on his path." The old arch-bishop said in a manic frenzy.
The whole hall went silent as some cheered but most just clapped as formality, he had just become a free chess-piece who didn't know his mother could care less about him he has no loyalty to anything and maybe they could change that.
"Honey you should be celebrating why are you scheming?" A certain duchess asked her husband who was looking at the confused nineteen year old.
"What if this weapon get's turned against us, what if a kid with such potential becomes our enemy that's what I'm worried about." he said looking at the greedy looks in all his fellow noblemen's eyes.
"What do you mean about being a divine luminary?" Auther was clueless but he wasn't an idiot he knew what being possessed felt like his ex-wife did that to him, this old man was trying to claim him.
"A being above all under the orthodox one who will bring back all defectors back to the goddesses way." The old man said and the whole room went still everyone at the edge of their seats, was this an invitation from a theocracy connected to a tier 1 species, was their hope being stolen?
"Stop trying to poach my own child won't you aren't the dragon's appeased with their large force hundred of heroics mythics and sleuths of legendries yet you want to snatch my own son from me have you no shame?" She said charisma oozing out of her.
"Wait is she making a speech this woman is crafty." Auther silently thought feeling slightly annoyed at being looked at like a weapon a bit like a nuclear bomb. Yet he wondered why he didn't feel stronger than before.
"Elizabeth how dare you bite the hand that feeds you, do you really think you can nurture such a prodigy, we at least have nurtured one supreme rank in the past what about you nothing." The arch-bishop clapped back at her, he didn't care about the people he wasn't putting on a show he was recruiting.
"Let's ask the boy what he wants it is his life isn't it?" the same duke said silently gulping his own saliva those two arguing were two Heroic ranked beings though Arch-Bishop Johannes was naturally stronger.
Being a dragon he has way better stats to build up on and he completely outclasses her in age.
"You ant how dare you?" The arch-bishop hissed a light beam headed to his head ready to pierce through, only stopped by a small ice shard which refracted the light back to it's source.
"This one gives me Viola vibes I'm definitely not going with him and with how the nobles are so quiet then this isn't the first time this has happened it seems they recruit quite a lot." he silently assessed.
"Alright lets ask him." the Arch-Bishop said looking incredulously at the small ice shard.
Obviously Auther chose the devil he knew, he wasn't and idiot at least that was wat he told himself, unaware of all the opportunities turned down
