What was the Holy Child? To put it simply, there was no such thing. The High Templar had made it up on the spot. To put it simply, it was just a title given to Damon because he had seemed holy and embodied the goddess' divine power in the eyes of the High Templar.
Of course, Damon understood there must be some politics to all this, but at the same time the Temple couldn't just let him go.
One, Damon was a talent of this era, a prodigy in his own right, maybe even crazier than Seras Blade with how fast he sped through the ranks.
Second, Damon was famous. Though it was closer to infamy, but famous nonetheless. He was the grandson of the Grand Duke, so he was very well connected.
But the most important reason was the fact he had actually managed to absorb divine energy into his heart and not die.
The High Templar had to call the Nine Elders of Conflict, and by the time Damon came to, they had made a decision.
