'What happened? Is double promotion even a thing? Did the Pope pull some strings this time?' Sylvester wondered in silence and digested the great news. He tried to keep himself as calm as possible, though, as that was expected from him.
"This is a surprise to me, respected Holy Father and the Cardinals." He saluted all of the Supreme Council members. "But if you believe I'm worthy of this position, then I shall continue to give my all to the continued hegemony of the church, so the Light of Solis may keep drenching the world in the holy warmth, and leave the sinful as nothing but swarth."
