Sylvester had heard the name Degracia. It was a branch family of the main royal family of the Gracia Kingdom. It was not too powerful or wealthy outside the scope of the capital city, so it was amazing to see a mere boy from a branch family try to step on him. 

The Archbishop nearly boomed in anger, but Sylvester waved his hand and stopped him. "It's fine. We can help these hard-working, devoted men, I believe. They travel in such fine carriages on the hard roads, away from their homes, and eat tasteless food. We should help them when we can." 

The Archbishop knew what Sylvester was doing. He had done it, and nearly every high-ranking clergyman does it. This tactic was called 'Let the enemy dig his grave deeper first.'. It was a simple concept to not disturb your enemy when he's being a fool. Then when the time is right, you shatter their life.

'God save this young man.'
