Unforeseen Trust Or Knowledge?

"Haha... Zain, you should have trusted the Pope's word. I told you everything would be fine," chuckled another Holy Knight, who appeared to be as strong as Zain.

Respectfully bowing before the Saintess, the knight addressed her, saying, "Saintess Amelia, it brings me great joy to see you well!"

Curious about the Pope's message, Amelia inquired, "Captain Gray, what did the Pope say?"

Standing tall and composed, Captain Gray replied, "Upon my return a day after the three of you were transported into the Gate, the Pope, recognizing the formidable strength possessed by all three of you, decided to temporarily halt the rescue operation. He assured us that there was no need to rush and that you would eventually find your way out."

Amelia felt puzzled as she couldn't understand how the Pope knew about their situation. Was it due to his belief in their abilities, or did he possess some other knowledge? She couldn't discern the truth.
