An obedient sapling is certainly delightful, making one eager to water and nurture it, helping it grow robustly.
But the future of a sapling nurtured this way is limited.
A prodigy with self-will and firm beliefs is more likely to achieve unexpected results.
Even if...the belief this prodigy holds is somewhat misguided, it doesn't change his precious qualities.
If others are rare treasures, then Herbert is a once-in-a-thousand-years rarity.
The Ashen Bishop cherishes talent.
She would never ruin such a precious jade in her own hands.
Especially when the Ashen Bishop once saw a future in Herbert that piqued her curiosity, she anticipated his future more than anyone else.
As for Herbert's future choices... she's very curious!
And for a genius like this, having a few quirks is completely harmless.
If the child wants to ask, let him ask.
After all, it's nothing major.
The Ashen Bishop shook her head helplessly for a while and looked at the eagerly awaiting Herbert.
