"Oh, Your Holiness, hello, hello," Aske said, though his tone did not carry any warmth, as if he were speaking to just another ordinary guest.
"Lord Aske," Innocent spoke, "this is our first acquaintance, and I hope under such circumstances, I have not presumptuously alarmed you."
"Not at all," Aske chuckled, "We are a professional mercenary group, best at handling all sorts of surprises."
"Indeed, from the records submitted by Raphael, even though The Azure Longsword Mercenary Corps was only established about a year ago, the tasks you have accomplished and deeds you have done are enough to make any mercenary group on the continent, even the Holy Temple Knights, feel ashamed," Innocent said calmly. "This is also why we have chosen to secretly contact you so abruptly at this time."
"The Church Court wishes to hire you, Lord Aske."
