In the domed hall of the Church, only Motan, Yu Chen, and the current Pope, Saint Ambro Ashir, remained, making the atmosphere suddenly tense...
After all, without Xia Lian—the one almost raised under the Pope's watchful eye, who could joke freely—both Motan and Yu Chen were rather reserved before the Church of the Dawn's highest leader. Of course, it was merely a matter of formality, for not only were both of them players, but they had even, in a sense, met the Goddess of Dawn herself. Naturally, they wouldn't feel an almost 'pilgrimage' like reverence, nor would they dare to breathe too heavily like common believers.
After an awkward silence, Motan was the first to break it by bowing slightly to Ambro, "So, Your Holiness, we too..."
"If you don't mind, I would like to take a little bit of your time from your meeting."
