"The Hero of the Prophecy," a young priestess sighed dreamily while clutching her leather-bound holy text tightly to her chest.
She stood near one of the towering white marble pillars, staring at the boy with open admiration.
Her eyes traced the golden trim of his uniform, completely ignoring her elder matron's harsh, clicking tongue and scolding glare.
"He carries the true light of the Goddess… Look at his strong posture… He actually fought the First Demon King in Kakune Town… He is so incredibly brave."
The news of him being split in half was only distributed among Higher nobles… so it was obvious they wouldn't know.
The surrounding groups of young devout priestesses and high-ranking noblewomen swooned in unison.
They giggled quietly behind ornate fans, pushing each other playfully, entirely captivated by the walking legend passing through their halls.
