The fact behind the story

"As you please."

The elder nodded casually at the bishop's question as though he was answering somthing trivial.

"Then I shall call you Duke Wayne. After all, since you plotted to set up the Knights of Dawn and the Church of Shadows, it would be a little awkward if I still addressed you as Your Excellency," the bishop said.

Then he sighed as if he suddenly realized something.

"Before I saw you, I was angry, confused. I was angry because of your betrayal, I was confused because of your failure. But who would've thought that I would be so delighted after seeing you now? Although it was you who lead the priests from our church to ambush the Church of Shadows, they must have left an unhealable wound on you, am I right?"
