"Mhm. Remind her a bit later. For now, there's no need to touch it. First, making contact rashly could cause unnecessary trouble; second, as you said, it only amplifies the believers' pious faith in the Lord, serving as a subconscious guiding influence. As long as we first redirect that layer of faith onto Lyra, then its existence isn't a bad thing at all. On the contrary, it'll become our help."
For Kales to reorganize the troops and revise the next step of the strategic plan would take quite some time, and he'd have to spend plenty of effort talking people into it as well.
That was perfect, using the Holy Relic of Light, they could magnify the doubts that had already begun spreading through the army, making those knights accept the idea that Lyra was the chosen one and believe it without reservation.
