After several foreign ambassadors waited for more than an hour in a good mood, Ladislaus and Katharina finally appeared.

All the guests from all walks of life have arrived and stood up to salute them unanimously.

After Ladislaus cheered the princess up and inspired her fighting spirit, she still needed to put on makeup, which took a lot of time, but in the end, everyone arrived before noon.

There were many dignitaries present, so the ceremony was arranged to be held outdoors in the garden.

Sazastan had already been busy preparing everything. His busy figure in the square in the past few days was all seen by Princess Katharina, which is why he was hated to the core by the princess.

"Praise for your piety, Your Royal Highness the Cardinal Archbishop and Your Royal Highness the Princess. It is an honor for the Order of the Flame to have you two attend this ceremony." Anna finally bowed slightly to Ladislaus and Katherina alone, with a little smile on her face.

It was also impossible to tell whether she was happy or disappointed that Ladislaus and Katharina arrived in time. Ladislaus could not even tell from the eyes of the woman who once loved and hated her whether she still cared about him, regardless of love or hate.

It no longer leaks from those eyes that are like fiery rubies.

Today she once again put on the magnificent wisdom crown, which was said to be a wonder made from the wisdom teeth of a dragon. The wisdom teeth were not particularly long teeth, but they were still over one meter long.

Anna wears it on her head with great momentum.

Most diplomats will see this treasure again, and they are all whispering to exchange knowledge about this treasure. Anna's robe with flashing flame tassels is also a treasure, but it seems to be compared to the 'dragon'

The traces received much less attention.

Anna's aura not only comes from the treasures on her body, but also her pomp and circumstance surpasses that of Ladislaus, and far surpasses it.

Although Ladislaus is not a person who pays much attention to pomp and circumstance, he still brought dozens of servants to this formal occasion today, and Katharina brought all her Spanish team members with her.

However, their lineup was overshadowed by Anna's more than a hundred luxurious servants, split equally between men and women.

Jones had already reported to Ladislaus that Anna had trained a huge honor guard. This team was made up of ordinary people without any powerful characters. The one hundred and twenty-eight attendants of the Pope who were really chosen were all at least level 5 or above.

Elite.

But Ladislaus always felt that Anna was not bluffing now.

Although Katherina felt a lot of pressure, she finally exchanged greetings with Anna appropriately. Ladislaus's words made her understand that acting recklessly would only make the situation worse.

"One hundred and twenty-eight people, sixty-four men, sixty-four women." Frunzberg reported the results of his count to Ladislaus in a low voice. In fact, Ladislaus did not need the Protector.

Eyesight also knows this number.

This is the entourage specification that the truly elected pope will use at the most solemn ceremonies.

Princess Katharina is quite good in religious knowledge.

"Is she flirting with the Supreme Being of Rome?" Katharina whispered in Ladislaus's ear. The expression on her face seemed to be talking about love between a man and a woman.

They are now the center of attention, and Catharina deliberately behaves in public. For princesses from the conservative Madrid court, public occasions are generally very cautious.

She has realized that no matter how powerful Anna is, as long as Ladislaus is still sitting next to her, she still has a chance.

Ladislaus also responded to Katharina with a smile on his face, as if he was talking about an ambiguous topic between lovers.

"This is the Lord of Fire fighting against the Dark Sun." However, Ladislaus's words were very serious.

"But the people who really choose the Pope always have all kinds of strong players, and they are not just showy."

Before Ladislaus could express his doubts, he saw Sazastan cast a questioning look. Ladislaus nodded in agreement.

At this time, Sazastan nodded to Ladislaus and Anna respectively. After receiving nods from them, Sazastan officially began the blessing ceremony.

Sazastan finally put Ladislaus in front, but it was obvious that he could no longer be regarded as a pure minister of Austria.

If it were the Eastern Empire, such an action would be fatal immediately, but this is not a taboo thing on the continent of Europa, and many Cyric archbishops can also serve their monarch well.

And given the objective fact that various gods and churches are so influential, Ladislaus does indeed need the force of Sazastan and his role as a medium.

He once took advantage of the contraction of the Cyric strategy when he first took office to expel the two Cyric clergy from the Austrian Council of State, leaving them without the opportunity to become the Cardinal Archbishop of Rome.

But this was not the norm after all. When the balance of power was reestablished, Ladislaus could only admit that he could not resist. He slightly restored the power of the Archbishop of Würzburg in recognition of this balance.

I just don’t know if the Church of Cassus is willing to accept this balance.

Sazastan stepped onto a three-story platform in the middle of the garden. This was not specially built for today's ceremony. It was built by the old Emperor Maximilian to celebrate his wedding to Mary of Burgundy.

After getting permission from Ladislaus, Sazastan added four pillars to the four corners of the platform, with a bowl-shaped structure on top of the pillars.

"The most noble Cardinal Archbishop of Habsburg, the most noble Princess Habsburg, all distinguished guests. On behalf of the spokesperson of the Lord of Fire on earth, Her Royal Highness Anna Sieber, I would like to thank you all for your participation in the Hundred Years.

Take some time out of your busy schedule to participate in this blessing ceremony from the true God."

There was nothing special about Sazhastein's speech, and Anna seemed to have no interest in talking nonsense.

Anna only stood up once when Ladislaus arrived, and spent the rest of the time sitting surrounded by people. The work of receiving unimportant guests was basically done by Sazastan, and he didn't even seem to make a speech.

What interest.

If it were Li Di's world, the so-called blessing ceremony would naturally be the speeches of various leaders, but today Ladislaus was also looking forward to something else. Anna's behavior reinforced his view that this was to

A sign of speaking with strength.

Compared to Katharina, Ladislaus's mentality is of course more contradictory. His position is actually very different from Katharina's. It is in Ladislaus's interest that his son can receive such a blessing from the true God.

Yes, Cassius's support can ensure the legitimacy of this child to a large extent.

Even the request for the throne from the Spanish Prince of Asturias was not enough to overwhelm the blessing of the powerful true god.

Although he encouraged Katherina to continue fighting to curb Anna's momentum, he still looked forward to blessings.

Of course, although Ladislaus was looking forward to it, he still chose to appear as a couple with Katherina. There was naturally a reason. Jones specifically pointed out the most worrying people among Anna.

It's not that he's powerful, but his background is annoying.

There were several children in her ceremony whose surname was "Xibo", and they were all survivors of the massacre during the Great War.

It would be fine if she just took care of her own family, but according to Jones, Anna seemed to be particularly close to these children.

Ladislaus now saw this with his own eyes. Everyone else was extremely respectful to Anna. Only a few children could get close to Anna and play with her long skirt.

Anna touched the foreheads of several children from time to time and smiled at them.

"These children are all members of the Seabot family?" Ladislaus confirmed to Jones.

"Yes, Your Highness, although there are other children in the honor guard, those who can get close to His Highness the Elector are all members of the Sibo family." Jones reported to Ladislaus cautiously.

The two major external forces, Machiavelli and Sazastern, were political opponents of the alliance between Chancellor Hohenzollern and Director Jones. His Highness Jones spared no effort to attack their relationship with Ladislaus.

But today Jones is very nervous. As noon is getting closer and closer, he is feeling heart palpitations. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
