February 18th, the first day of spring in the 1446 agricultural calendar.
On this day, with the unanimous consent of 55 senior monks of the Juanist Faction, Martin Calvin became the new Abbot of Blago Monastery.
After all, most of the powerful figures of the Juanist Faction were locked in the dungeons of Shelley City, so according to protocol and seniority, Martin was next in line.
Yet everyone knew that the decisive factor lay not with those casting the votes, but with those in the observer's seats.
As the senior Juanist monks wrote down names and waited for the votes to be announced, there was always someone stealing glances at the absent-minded Saint Son Horn in the observation seat.
He sat with his legs crossed, expressionless and lost in thought, betraying no hint of the formidable War God Pope he was known to be.
