Kael made a mental note that whenever anyone asked about the Dinel Church, he would assume a confident demeanor, spinning a tale about the many strategies Flandre and her cohorts had imagined...
Ah, no, that's not right, I mean the elaborate plans that span years, crafted by myself, Viscount Helois.
Ahem...
Okay, there's no need for this unnecessary showboating for now.
Kael was very clear that his initial reason for cooperating with the Dinel Church was to latch onto their power.
And not just to hold on, but to tie them firmly to himself.
He wanted to be an ornament for Dinel.
Gods who don't promise pie in the sky and focus solely on the welfare of their followers are really popular!
Of course, Kael also realized he might have missed a big opportunity.
