"Lucan-sama, you looked so impressive during the ceremony earlier!"
With the ceremony over, Lucan returned to his room, and Maris naturally followed him, praising him excitedly. They were alone in the room, as the Archpriest and other priests were still busy with post-ceremony duties, allowing the two to rest.
"As expected of Lucan-sama! For light to fall like snow... even the goddess blesses your sainthood!" Mairs smiled with hands clasped together.
"I think... I'm really blessed," Lucan said. He already knew it was Maris's doing, but why expose her?
"Absolutely right, you're blessed, and everyone looked at you with respect... ah, it was truly wonderful. I'm so happy. I'm so proud!"
"...Haah."
Seeing Maris's genuine joy, Lucan did feel a bit happy. However, being a Holy Priest was not as wonderful as it seemed.
Now as a Holy Priest, he had to maintain a fitting attitude and behavior that Holy Priests should have.
