Stepping out of Tiriya’s home, Fangsheng looked at the somewhat absent-minded Lewan and teased, "What? Knowing that you originally had the chance to become the Saintess of the Church, but having it snatched away by Angel, are you feeling a bit resentful?" Just moments before, Tiriya and Lewan had discussed a great deal. For instance, Lewan had originally been groomed as the next-generation Saintess of the Goddess of Radiance, but because Angel's talent far surpassed hers, Tiriya had chosen to cultivate Angel instead.
Of course, that wasn't all. During the conversation, Fangsheng distinctly felt that the way Tiriya looked at him was just like a mother-in-law eyeing her prospective son-in-law! At this, Fangsheng could only inwardly lament that he had apparently won over an otherworldly mother-in-law ahead of schedule.
Knowing full well that Fangsheng was joking, Lewan rolled her eyes and retorted, "The position of Saintess was never meant to be mine in the first place. If I hadn't been chosen, this world wouldn't even have a witch named Lewan." She was entirely self-aware; she was merely an outsider, so how could she possibly compete with a native like Angel?
