— Yes, yes, dreaminess, extreme romanticism... You have just confirmed my theory, Sir Rogdan. — Lucretia stood up, walked over to Lian Fay, took her chin with the fingers of her right hand, and lifted her head, examining the heroine as if she were a curious oddity. — I gathered a group of thirty volunteers who soon came under the command of Matthew Ariston, and what do you think? In the past month, only two of them have managed to perform the summoning ritual. I confess, — having finished examining Lian Fay, the countess stepped aside, thoughtfully looking around the room, — in the past, I have heard about your "belief," but I perceived its followers as fanatical history buffs and nothing more. Fortunately for me, you two have managed to prove to me that my opinion was wrong. If this project is implemented correctly, "Legends of Vistaria" could become a very useful tool... Answer me this question: if the all-loving Arteria responds to the prayers of the priestesses of the church and its followers, then how did it happen that the cultists also enjoy her blessing?
"A tool?" — Rogdan thought he had misheard. — As for the group of volunteers, I am sure that all of them, like us, would be immensely happy to serve Your Highness without any doubt, but perhaps it is sometimes extremely problematic to convince oneself to change one's own spiritual nature to fit certain life views... Answering Your Highness's question, — the baron thought again, — I believe I see two possible options here. If the blessing of the goddess Arteria descends from above, in other words, her influence on the souls of her followers is decisive, then it is possible that, for corresponding reasons, both groups of her followers respond to her ideals in their own way. The second possibility is that the key factor, as is probably the case in our belief, is the soul of the follower himself. In other words, a society of people who are extremely passionate about certain ideals, even with their own interpretation of divine teachings, is still capable of independently gaining a blessing through sincere faith in their ideas.
