Reincarnated as an Energy with a System Chapter 1496 Get Close

Ning needed to find a way to get close to the Emperor, but no matter how he thought of doing it, there was just no way of getting close to the man.

He was surrounded by a thousand different people, and none of them could go close enough to thought the man. Getting a handshake from the man was an almost impossible task.

He needed to find another way to get close to the man. He needed so help.

Ning quickly looked around. He knew what he had to do. Since the Emperor was supposedly such a big believer in Zurinus, he would certainly be talking to the pope one of these tis. There was no way the man would invite soone like the pope and go without talking to him all day.

'Where's the pope?' Ning thought, searching through the party until he found the man. He was about to go up to him when he noticed that he was talking with one of the won who had co with the Emperor.

It was the older woman, that looked to be in her 80s. This was the woman Ning did not believe to be the Empress. Was he wrong?

They seed to be in deep conversation, which Ning didn't feel like disturbing. He turned around, looking for soone else other than the pope. The other possible person to go for would be Naman, the greatest rchant of the current world, but that didn't seem possible as he was sward with people who did not seem to care about the Emperor.

They would likely never even talk to the Emperor.

Ning turned around. The people likely to speak to the Emperor were other rulers, but he wasn't close to anyone. He didn't want to be stuck taking care of a princess like he always had to, so Ning did his best to not head on over to any royal palaces during his trip here.

That might have worked against him this ti around.

'Maybe I should just ask Edward,' Ning thought. The prince could help him et the Emperor for sure.

However, when Ning saw Jasmine and him smiling with the occasional laughter as they danced, he didn't want to disturb them.

This could maybe wait. The Emperor wasn't going anywhere. He had plenty of ti.

Ning walked around the party aimlessly for a while, mingling with people from ti to ti, talking with them. He was still recognized by people as soone whom the pope had talked to the mont he arrived.

The party continued for a while, with people dancing all around. Ning danced with a few ladies who seed to want to learn more about him.

He also danced with both Jasmine and Arya amongst the others. These two were perhaps the only ones who did not intend to find a way to marry him.

The royal family put on shows. Songs, dances, and other shows. There were even fights between experienced fighters that everyone got to watch.

People enjoyed their ti. After a while, the celebration seed to co to an end. It hadn't officially ended, but people were clearly starting to think that it was ti to return.

It was close to 9 pm, so they had to go back anyti now.

Ning looked at the pope and knew the man would leave anyti now as well. If he was going to et the Emperor, now was the ti.

"Your holiness," Ning spoke softly as he ca close to the pope. "Do you have a second? I need to talk to you about sothing."

"Go ahead," the pope said. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Do you rember why I wanted to et you?" Ning asked, quickly reminding the pope about his journey to find a certain soone. He hadn't told him that he had been searching for Zurinus, as that would likely not work with one of his followers.

"I wanted to co to you earlier, but you were talking with… a princess? Empress? I don't know who that old woman that ca with the Emperor was."

"Miss Jenny? She's the top custodian of our orphanage. She is a dear friend of mine."

"A custodian?"

All the orphanages in the world were under the church's rule; Ning rembered that. That ant the woman under the pope's rule. He was a little curious about what she was doing with the Emperor though.

'Orphanage,' he thought. 'Were they both raised in the sa orphanage? A lost love he could never go after because of his status?'

Ning could only wonder.

"I need your aid in eting with the Emperor. Just a single touch," Ning said.

"You're still doing that, huh?" Cardinal Marcus spoke from next to the pope.

"I have been doing that since I ca here tonight. I've gone through many, and it is ti I go through the man of the hour as well."

The pope hesitated a little. "Say you are right by so chance and it is the Emperor. What happens then?"

Ning could only smile. "We should wait until more people leave before we do this. Just in case."

The pope sighed.

They decided to wait for a while longer, but there wasn't much ti in their hand. The Emperor would return to his quarters any ti now, and Ning would have to go perform multiple shenanigans to et him.

If he was Zurinus, that would only cause him to run away from Ning. At that point, finding him would be impossible.

The pope took Ning to the Emperor, who was just done with his conversation with so foreign prince.

"Your Holiness!" the Emperor turned around and saw Ning. "Who might this be?"

"This is Ning. He's an excellent young man, and I would like for you to et him."

"Oh, young Ning, is it?" the Emperor asked.

"It is, Your Majesty. I am Ning Ruogong. It is a pleasure to get to et you finally," Ning said, reaching out his hand for a shake.

The Emperor smiled back in response.
