The pope and the priests all looked at in shock when they heard this.
They looked like they couldn't believe that I was asking them to leave like this.
The knights that had been watching while surrounding the priests from the Zeno Religion all knitted their brows when they heard this. With the way that they were looking over, it really seed like they wanted to step forward to say sothing.
But before they could do anything, the pope suddenly raised his hand to stop them.
The pope didn't even look at the knights as he continued to look at for a bit before saying, "Your majesty, I think that there's been so kind of misunderstanding. I know that anything that I try to say today will result in further misunderstandings, so let's end this matter here. I hope that we will be able to have another talk on this matter another day."
With that, the pope gave a bow and then turned to leave.
He waved his hand at the knights and priests who all had different expressions on their faces, but they still followed him in the end.
They all just put on their cloaks and walked into the streets before disappearing without a trace.
It seed strange how they had disappeared, but it didn't matter since I didn't want to talk to them in the first place.
Right now, there was sothing else that I had to do first.
"Let's go back and talk." I said to the pri minister.
He looked at with a strange look at first, but then he nodded in agreent and we headed back to the castle.
It was just that this matter wasn't over yet.
...
"Your majesty, there is a guest looking for you."
I was surprised by this maid suddenly coming in with this ssage since I wasn't expecting to see anyone today. At the sa ti, I had even told the people in the castle that I didn't want to see anyone after yesterday's matter.
They shouldn't have allowed anyone into the castle today.
So I couldn't help being surprised by this maid saying that soone wanted to see .
I didn't say anything as I looked at the maid with one brow raised.
The maids of the castle were well trained, so she imdiately understood why I was looking at her like this.
With a bow, the maid said, "We tried to stop him, but he said that he was a personal friend of yours. At the sa ti, this person said that they had once been your ntor."
A friend and a ntor?
I couldn't think of anyone that fit this description at first, but then there was a person that ca to mind.
It was soone that I hadn't seen in a while now since I had beco busy with running this country, but it was certainly soone that could qualify as a friend and a ntor.
Only I didn't think that he would co all this way just to see .
He was soone who had been content with his life in the countryside, running that church.
So there must be a reason for him to co all this way.
After thinking about it for a bit, I looked back up at the maid who had been silently and nervously standing there. With a nod, I said, "Let him co and see ."
The maid seed to let out a sigh of relief when she heard this before lowering her head to say, "Yes, your majesty."
In no ti at all, there was soone who was led to my study.
When this person ca in, I imdiately recognized them.
Even if I hadn't seen them in a while, this wasn't a person that I would forget that easily since we had spent quite a bit of ti together.
He was the one that had even taught about the Mark of God in the first place.
However, there wasn't a smile that was on my face when I saw him co in.
Rather, he was the one that walked in with an awkward smile on his face.
Once the maid led the priest from my previous territory in, I gave a wave of my hand to send her off. She didn't hesitate at all since she could feel the tension that was in the air, so she disappeared in no ti.
When it was just the two of us left in the room, the priest suddenly said, "Your majesty, it's been a long ti. I..."
Before he could continue, I suddenly raised my hand to cut him off before saying, "There's no need for that kind of small talk. I know that you're here for a reason, so just tell what you want."
The priest wasn't offended at all when he heard this.
He knew that even though I was being brief, I was doing it on his behalf.
While it didn't seem like I was doing it on his behalf, I really was doing it to spare him the fate of having to make small talk and work his way up. I knew what kind of personality he had, it really wasn't suited for this.
There was even a trace of gratitude that appeared in his eyes as he looked at before he said, "Your majesty, I hope that you will do a favour for ."
A look of surprise appeared on my face since this certainly wasn't what I expected him to say, but I just gave a nod as I said, "What is the favour?"
"I hope that you will et with the pope." There was an awkward look on the priest's face when he said this.
He didn't need to explain what he ant by this since there was only one person that he could
be referring to.
It was the kind looking old man from yesterday.
I never thought that he would bring the priest from my forr territory over just for this...
But I still said, "Alright, since it's a favour for you."
The priest gave a grateful nod.
I did owe quite a bit to him after all.
