ʀᴇʟɪɢɪᴏɴ(PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

In fact, they didn’t. He was more determined. He would openly make trips to the main chapel, remove his helm in order to bask in their lord’s radiance. He was a completely different man.
 
Oh. What had happened? Maybe it wasn't a dream? It felt like one.
Aileen was making her way into the sanctum to perform her duties when she heard yelling.
"I have tokd you many times before that you are not permitted inside this place! It was reserved for the chosen only!" Mikhail, the high priest, spat venomously at Ludwig.
 
“I am a servant of our god same as you, you are not to bar me from this place, old man. Or perhaps you are simply afraid of my connection to the god being stronger than yours?” He asked, standing firm. His sword was planted firmly in the ground, his hands on the pommel.
 
"Your connection is a sham! I have not once seen you exhibit any gift or favor!" He snapped.
"What is going on in here?" Aileen asked, brows furrowed.
 
Ludwig looked over and gestured to the priest before rolling his eyes. “The priest here believes he is the one who decides who is allowed to worship, and has decided that despite my service to the church, I am outside of our lord’s light.”
 
"Do not roll your eyes as if you are some child!" Mikhail hissed.
"I gave Ludwig permission to be in here, Mikhail. He is allowed to worship with us if he so chooses." Aileen said. Mikhail's face turned red with anger.
"Have you no respect for our Lord, High Priestess?!"
"I have abundant respect. Ludwig has shown me he is chosen and therefore, he can access the sanctum." She said.
"And how is it you have come to witness this alleged gift?!" Mikhail took a step towards her but she didn't move away. She glanced at Ludwig before looking to Mikhail, frowning softly.
"It isn't my place to say."
 
"This is obscene!! An affront to Her Greatness!!" Mikhail hollered. Aileen frowned softly.
"I don't think so. I beg you, Mikhail, if you would only speak to Her-"
"Enough!!" He snapped, "Get out of my sight!!"
 
Ludwig cleared his throat, moving to rest the heavy blade in front of him again, an emphasis on its weight being made. “If you will not commune with Her, what point is there following you? She has spoken to the two of us directly yet you seem the only one outside of her reach.”
 
Mikhail sputtered angrily and Aileen moved closer.
"Mikhail, please..."
"I will hear no more! Out!" He yelled, pointing to the door. Aileen sighed and turned to Ludwig.
"Would you please remove him from the sanctum, lieben?"
"Me?! You will not lay a finger on me!!"
 
Ludwig moved and grabbed the frail man by the shoulders, squeezing him tight as he walked towards the door. “By the power of my order, I hereby remove you from power as a threat to this church. May she smile upon your soul, lest she deem otherwise by my hand.”
 
“You are a high priest no longer, fraud.” He said. He removed the man from the sanctum, and gave a curt order in his own tongue to the guards by the door. No longer would he be allowed in.
 
They nodded, though they seemed hesitant about it.
"You aren't even a true paladin!! You cannot act in such a way!! I'm telling your superiors!!" Mikhail hissed.
 
“You try to interfere with Aileen’s work as high priestess,” he said, his eyes suddenly cold and his voice deadly, “and I will send you to meet Her.”
