The one that spoke first in the end was the pope of the Solista Religion.
"Your majesty, we et again." He said with a simple smile on his face.
I looked at him before shaking my head with a sigh.
The pope didn't seem to mind as he kept looking at with the sa smile on his face.
I honestly never thought that I would see him again, even if I was pulled into coming to this Holy Empire. I thought that I would be able to sneak around and not see this pope again.
I never thought that I would be pulled in front of the Holy Council like this.
After all, I shouldn't be considered that special to the Holy Empire that they would bring all of their leaders together like this.
But it seed that I was wrong.
After that sigh, I said, "Indeed, I never thought that we would et again so soon."
"It's all the arrangent of the lord." The pope of the Solista Religion said with the sa smile on his face.
"Enough of that, let's get down to business." An old man in black robes said from the other end of the table. He turned his eyes from the pope of the Solista Religion to look at before saying, "Show us the Mark of God."
The way that he said this was as if he was commanding instead of asking .
I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows at this since it was the first ti that I had been talked to like this since coming to the Holy Empire. Though I also couldn't help finding it strange that I was feeling this way since this should have been my expectation when coming to this Holy Empire.
It was the way that they had treated this entire ti that had been strange now that I thought about it.
But regardless of what it was, this was not a situation where I could get distracted.
Though before I could say or do anything, another one of the popes spoke. This ti, it was an old man in a brown robe that said, "Now, now, there's no need to rush this. He is our honoured guest that we've invited all this way, we shouldn't treat him like this."
It seed that even the Holy Council was divided as so of the others in the room nodded in agreent to this, while the others seed to agree with the pope in the black robes.
Though looking closely, it seed that the ones that seed to support were the ones that were in the majority. It seed that the ones that were behind the pope in the black robes weren't as numbered as the ones that supported the pope in the brown robes.
Judging by the reactions that were spread out across the room, it seed like two thirds of the people that were on the Holy Council seed to support the pope in the brown robes.
So it seed that the majority of them had decided to support .
But it was still worrying to see how many people supported the pope in the black robes. If they ever wanted to do anything...they had enough people and power to do sothing.
I just hoped that the ones that supported would be able to stop them.
The words of these two seed to have opened up a can of worms as others at the table also started to speak up.
It turned out two of the seven popes were of the sa mind, they were the pope in the black robes and the pope in the red robes.
The other five seed to support , which was a good sign.
They were the ones that had the most power in the Holy Empire, so more of them on my side was always a good thing.
Even if they were spatting with each other, there was one thing that they were fighting over and it was related to .
While I did want to see them keep fighting, there was nothing to gain from letting them fight like this.
So I raised my hand and made the Mark of God appear.
The mont that the Mark of God appeared, the fighting suddenly stopped as everyone's eyes fell onto the Mark of God.
"It really is the Mark of God..."
"This is the light of the lord, it's so warm..."
"How can the Mark of God appear on soone unrelated to our Holy Empire?"
The last words were said in a soft voice, but I had picked them up which made slightly knit my brows.
I had already thought that there would be these thoughts in the minds of so people, but I never thought that they would admit it so openly...
It seed that there were things that I had to watch out for in the end.
"Bring them to the special room." The pope in the black robe suddenly said, bringing everyone out of their daze.
The other popes didn't react at first, but then they slowly nodded in agreent.
It was Saintess Irene who took the initiative to co forward as if she wanted to guide , but this ti I didn't follow her right away.
When I heard them ntion this 'special room', I imdiately had several things pop into my mind.
Since I had the knowledge from the ga, I knew imdiately what they were referring to when they said 'special room'. And if it was what I was thinking of, I could guess why they had brought here.
Of course, I wouldn't just follow them without a word.
Instead of following Saintess Irene, I looked at the popes sitting there with narrowed eyes before asking, "Which room is it?"
The popes were surprised to hear this before the popes in black and red robes narrowed their eyes to look at as if they didn't trust .
But before they could say anything, the pope of the Solista Religion said, "It's the one with
the crown."
A shocked look appeared on my face when I heard this.
