The pair of sea green eyes and that of crystal blue stared straight into each other, making the atmosphere which was already quiet into quieter. The former being curious about while a young child would wander alone without any company and the latter being glad for not needing to sneak into the inner ground.

But immediately after meeting the person, Lucas got sweaty over thinking about a question.

'How do I greet a priest properly?'

Before, Lucas didn't have that much of an interest in the cathedral. In fact, it would be true to say that praying to the god never came to his mind since the beginning which is why he didn't visit any other church or cathedral, making him to have no experience in greeting the priests or such. Thinking back, even when he met the god, did he even pay any respect?

"What might you be doing here, then? Is there anything that I can help?"

Lucas was glad that the priest offered to initiate first and at the same time, surprised at how soothing the voice of the priest was. He wouldn't be amazed if someone said this person was capable of calming a fight or quarrel immediately without much effort.

"Actually, to be honest, I am looking for a person, Sir Priest."

Trying to be as polite as he could, Lucas replied to the conversation with a little bow. Lucas didn't want to be rude to the person for two reasons. First, the person seemed like someone of high position in the religious sector by looking at the simple, yet, more refined clothing compared to the other priests that he had met.

And secondly, Lucas wanted to make a good first impression on the person in front of him.

'I shouldn't be rude to someone who might be going to have to help me in the future, should I?'

And that was why Lucas was concerned with greetings, the ways of speaking and the choice of words, without knowing that his actions had made the owner of the sea green eyes to be stunned a bit.

'Are the Evandalls used to be that polite?'

With rare white hair, crystal blue eyes and the ability to come roaming around the holy cathedral alone had already made the priest aware of Lucas's identity, expecting some blunt conversation just like the behavior of the other Evandalls as usual but the posture of the boy in front of him and the way he politely spoke almost made him to be speechless and made him create a small smile unconsciously, in remembrance of someone.

"Is that so... Can you tell me who might you be looking for? I know most of the people in the cathedral."

Hearing the priest offer his help willingly, Lucas looked around to make sure that there was no one in the room. It wasn't something that the others should overheard since the book stated that the veteran didn't want the world to know much about the Book of Knowledge.

"I'm looking for the owner of a book. The book which contains the blessing of Lucian."

There are two ways to describe the Book of Knowledge. Firstly it was just 'The book of Knowledge' which may be weird for the normal people who didn't know and might raise curiosity. Secondly, it was 'A book containing the blessing of Lucian.' as it was said that Lucian blessed the family with such knowledge.

The second way of describing could be confused as just a normal history book of Lucian blessings to the world to the ones who didn't know but the one who knew would react differently. And it was what Lucas was aiming at. After all, in the book, the veteran said that for him it was the book which contained the true blessings of Lucian for his family.

'And I think I have already found him.'

Lucas almost grinned seeing that the smile on the priest's face disappeared for a moment. It might be just a few seconds but Lucas, who didn't even blinked to check the reaction of the priest, caught the loss in composure immediately.
