The [conferment ceremony] was held in the largest ceremonial hall of the Radiant Cathedral.
If it were a normal award ceremony, An Su would not have been so vigilant. But this time it was extraordinarily grand, first of all, by requisitioning the Ceremony Hall, the last time this hall was used for a ceremony was to appoint a Purple Robed Bishop; secondly, members of the Farlor Royal Family were to attend in a public setting, which showed the significance of their royal presence.
All the citizens of All Farlor were likely waiting for this grand ceremony.
But for An Su, this did not... signify a good thing.
Religion and royal power absolutely cannot be too deeply intertwined.
Princess Cersei was able to become the Imperial Saintess precisely because of her imperial family background; but the reason she was only the Imperial Saintess was also precisely because of her imperial family background.
