John approached Boulanger...
Inside the Storm Church, the Pope watched John with excited, grateful eyes.
He said to John:
"Young man, thank you..."
Hearing this, Boulanger immediately showed dissatisfaction and bellowed at Xitell:
"Whelp, whom are you calling young man? Galewind has my gratitude, and were it not for our difference in years, I would have liked to become sworn brothers with him."
Xitell, a dominator of the church, who had swayed the continent for centuries, was chastised like a grandson!
Indeed, a grandson!
After all, his grandfather considered John a brother, and for Xitell to address John as a 'young man' was indeed a bit improper!
Xitell looked at John with a complex expression.
