- You might not guess it, but I participated in the summoning ritual myself, so I know what I'm talking about! - He spreads his hands, eats a sweet, and takes a sip of coffee. - Well, I don't have good news for you. This man, the Patriarch, is beyond Her Highness's control. In fact, he even visited the villa, and they had such a psychic battle that I don't even want to remember! No names were mentioned, of course, but His Holiness ended the meeting with the following phrase: "There will be no exceptions, Your Highness. All are equal before the light of God's just eyes." So... you'll have to solve this problem yourselves.
-- As for the situation, it depends on how you look at it. Since Her Highness has already discussed her "wards" with His Holiness, it means we'll have to carry fewer recommendation letters. There haven't been any major mistakes on our part, so most likely the esteemed clergy will be satisfied with some protective tattoos and oaths not to cause harm... This is more than adequate.
-- Well, if I'm wrong and they actually go further, and even ignore our track record of fighting the Rinzai, then, of course, it's a bit sad, but what can you do? Some people have lived longer than fate intended anyway. It would be foolish, unfortunately, for me to draw my sword twice and be forced to part ways with my liege without properly fulfilling my duty, but... we need to accept things as they are without absurd struggles. It was an interesting adventure, thank you to everyone involved. ))
-- In short, thank you for the message, we'll get to work on it.
