"Oh. Um...I couldn't say. I suppose it's because we're so used to kings and the idea of one man ruling over us. So the High Septon is the Faith's version of a king. But...what if things changed? Would the Most Devout approve my idea?"

"Agreed, but a war is not necessary." Geryn said, "At least not yet."
