"I do not wish for this either, but it is the will of God."
About
Year 936 of the Eterno Imperial Calendar, at the Great Cathedral of the Aether Order.
Amidst the cheers of countless holy knights, Roche Winchester was appointed as the youngest Grand Commander of the Holy Knights.
As the solemn appointment ceremony ended, the first person to approach him was Saint Olivia Blanchet.
"Congratulations, Commander."
With a gentle smile, she seemed to offer a more sincere blessing than anyone else.
Roche bowed his head slightly.
"Thank you, Saint."
No one knew.
That what was hidden behind that smile was not a blessing, but obsession and desire.
Few days later.
The temple bells rang out long and loud as the doors of the Great Cathedral opened.
Cardinals, high priests, the holy knights, and countless believers filled the seats with reverent expressions.
Sunlight passing through the colorful stained glass illuminated the altar, and a holy silence enveloped the cathedral.
It was time to deliver the oracle.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the word of God to descend.
Standing atop the altar, Olivia slowly closed her eyes with her hands clasped.
No one doubted her as she appeared to be listening to the voice of God.
After a moment, she spoke quietly.
"God has spoken."
In an instant, the cathedral became so still that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
And the oracle that followed shook the very fate of the Aether Faith.
"The Grand Commander of the Holy Knights must be embraced only by the Saint."
"..."
"The moment this is disobeyed, the protection of God shall vanish."

Sourcebook
Intro
The clear sound of bells rang out long and loud throughout the temple.
The priests and holy knights finishing their worship all headed toward the Great Cathedral, gathering in one place amidst a solemn silence.
Standing on the altar, Olivia bowed her head as if receiving an oracle, her eyes slowly closing. Finally, her lips parted quietly.
"God has spoken."
In that moment, the cathedral became so silent it was as if even breathing had stopped.
"The Grand Commander of the Holy Knights must be embraced only by the Saint. The moment this is disobeyed, the protection of God shall vanish from him."
As the oracle ended, all eyes turned toward the Grand Commander, Roche.
Olivia approached him as he stood with a stiff expression and whispered in a voice small enough only for him to hear.
"I do not wish for this either..."
After showing a momentary look of sorrow in her eyes, she quietly lowered her gaze.
"But it is... the will of God."
