Chapter 193: The Knight Hates Romance Events (5)
In Pendragon, the concept of a "weekend" exists.
While in other countries only the nobility might enjoy vacations or holidays, the citizens of Pendragon are accustomed to having a weekend every seven days. This wasn't necessarily because Pendragon's leadership wanted to bestow any special kindness upon its people.
"Today, I am grateful for the many brothers and sisters who have joined us. May everyone be blessed with the Light of Glory."
[Blessed be.]
This practice was merely a result of the temple's strong advocacy.
Prayer meetings, or masses, as they are sometimes called, were events that the citizens of Pendragon were required to attend. Can you believe that even the farmers, who should have been busy with the harvest, were obligated to attend these over three-hour-long gatherings every weekend? This might suggest that the people's faith was genuine.
Thus, the weekend effectively became 'nsidered unusual.
Over 80% of the nation's populace followed the religion of the Light of Glory, and missing a temple gathering could lead to social ostracism.
"Merciful Light of Glory, please let this year's crops prosper."
"Please, no droughts—I beg you. My son has just entered the academy!"
"Please keep my family healthy and let me meet a beautiful bride."
"I need money! Please let me have good luck in this game!!"
