Many people had been secretly sizing up Catalina before.

After the Pope of Light asked in a moderate voice, in an instant, most of the royal family on the round table looked towards her.

Catalina suddenly felt like she had a light on her back.

After she realized what she was doing, she quickly gathered up her hair that had fallen to the ground.

However, those eyes were still staring straight at her, and it seemed that because they had a reason to look at her, their appraising eyes became even more explicit.

"That...I..."

Catalina didn't know what to do for a moment.

So in a panic, he simply said truthfully: "I haven't eaten yet..."

After the words fell, the surroundings seemed to be quiet for a while.

it is true.

After the Holy See Army entered the royal capital, they immediately repaired and bathed, and then the procession entered the palace in great force. Everyone had no time to eat at all.

But everyone here only refers to the attendants.

Xu Shuo then turned his head to the leader of the Bright Moon Knights who was accompanying him.

Captain Haoyue understood the instructions and turned towards the palace maid who was waiting at the round table. The latter was a little surprised, but she quickly went to bring another chair.

So, Captain Haoyue placed the chair behind Catalina.

Xu Shuo said calmly: "If you're hungry, let's sit down and have a meal together."

The chair has been placed behind you.

Catalina felt inexplicably flattered, but she still held her hair, lowered her head, and sat next to him in a somewhat reserved manner.

Suddenly, there were some whispers on the round table.

Because it was not etiquette in any way for a servant to sit and dine at a round table in the golden square of the Imperial Palace on such an occasion, some nobles might even feel offended.

But even if they felt very uncomfortable, other wealthy and noble people did not dare to speak out to the Pope of Light.

However, Walder XVIII did not have this taboo.

In other words, he doesn't mind even if there are taboos.

"Who is this lady?"

he asked with seeming interest.

Xu Shuo smiled softly and said: "It's my sister Lina. She is the secret envoy of the Heretic Tribunal. She has been with the Saint of Light since she was a child and has never left the Holy See."

King Wald XVIII's eyes flashed slightly.

The Inquisition...

This is a very special Holy See organization.

It was established after the battle a thousand years ago, when the San Valo Empire was first established a thousand years ago. It can be said that it was a papal theocracy born to check and balance the royal power of the empire.

Anyone who blasphemes and insults the Holy See, whether a famous official or a wealthy person, will be tried and sanctioned by the Heretic Tribunal.

on this matter.

Even the king's power cannot restrain him.

But the Inquisition appears very rarely, or it can be said that no one knows if they have ever appeared.

Walder XIII, who originally tried to suppress the Holy See, went to Guangming City to plead guilty, and returned to the royal capital. Within a year, he unexpectedly died suddenly.

Externally, we are exhausted and exhausted.

But in fact, many noble marquises speculated that this was the method of the Heretic Tribunal.

The Holy See of Light would not comment on this.

So no one knows what the facts are.

The Inquisition.

It is a sharp sword hanging over the king's head.

King Wald XVIII glanced at the silver-haired girl, he said "I see" and ended this somewhat sensitive topic, but continued talking about tomorrow's coronation ceremony.

As a result, the unclear looking eyes around him gradually shifted their attention.

Catalina, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at the young man's profile.

I didn't feel that the other party was angry.

So Catalina looked at the six or seven-year-old child again.

But I saw that the child seemed to have made a mistake at the moment. He only glanced at her awkwardly occasionally, but he did not dare to stare at her openly.

Catalina felt strange.

But it was not convenient to talk to Xu Shuo at this time, so she could only suppress her thoughts, and silently ate the food brought to her by the maid with a low eyebrow.

Well, human food tastes pretty good.

That's what I had for dinner tonight.

It doesn't feel as delicious as eating on a carriage.

Catalina put her hair on her knees, freeing her hands to eat. After she ate a few plates in a hurry, she realized belatedly that the hair on her knees had moved.

Xu Shuo looked at her speechlessly: "You are really hungry."

Catalina looked up.

She found that everyone at the round table was looking at her again.

The teasing in the eyes of some nobles was not concealed, especially the king opposite, whose eyebrows bent by the crown seemed to be laughing at her.

Catalina: "..."

Keep looking at it! These humans are so rude!

She silently put the plate down.

The hair resting on his knees moved because Xu Shuo stood up directly.

He was tall and tall, with long, smooth silver hair flowing down his back. The ends of his hair fell on the hem of his priestly robe, and seemed to be shining brightly against the surrounding golden light.

The face hidden by the sun crown turned sideways to the people at the round table. Although they couldn't see his eyes, everyone felt that they were being watched by something.

The sight seemed to penetrate their bodies and minds, it was sharp and had a hint of sanctity and solemnity, making people dare not resist for no reason.

After he left his seat.

Everyone at the round table quickly stood up.

Walder XVIII looked at him and said: "Your Majesty, there may be some oversights in the arrangements at the Villa, so why not stay in Tantinoburg?"

Xu Shuo smiled: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be distracted by this matter. Just prepare for tomorrow's coronation ceremony with His Highness Simon. We will crown His Highness Simon at noon when the sun is shining brightly."

Moreover.

It is also impossible for him to return to the villa arranged by the royal capital to live.

After all, the Holy See of Light also has a church in the royal capital.

Tonight's banquet lasted for a long time, but Xu Shuo's official stay could be said to be less than half a minute, and he didn't even touch the food on the table.

Even though the ice elf was eating so happily, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong.

But if you say you won’t eat, you won’t eat.

It is unbecoming of a dignified and bright Pope to dine in full view of outsiders.

Xu Shuo turned around and left. Catalina reacted belatedly and held up his hair, while Wald XVIII, who was opposite the round table, also walked quickly towards this side.

The two briefly looked at each other up close.

Catalina kept her head lowered, glanced at Wald XVIII quickly and then withdrew her gaze, following Xu Shuo closely.

Wald XVIII was a somewhat wealthy man, but he was very tall, so he did not have that vulgar appearance. He was just a bit gaudy and gaudy because of the bloated luxurious clothes and gold jewelry he wore.

Catalina didn't know there was a word for nouveau riche, but she seemed to sense the meaning.

The king sent the pope to the Holy See.

But before stepping onto the carriage.

Xu Shuo suddenly turned around and looked at King Walder XVIII. The corners of his lips raised slightly with an interesting smile.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember my first question?"

"What?"

Wald XVIII was indeed a little stunned.

Xu Shuo whispered: "If your majesty knows anyone from the Russo family, you can go and have a look. I saw a general there who looked very similar to your majesty when he was young. I don't know if he is the heir of the emperor. The blood of the heir is lost.

That’s not a good thing.”

The blood of the emperor's heir is out there, and one day someone may directly start a rebellion under the banner of a certain descendant.

After listening to what he said.

The flesh on Wald XVIII's face trembled slightly, and then a flawless smile appeared on his face, and he just said: "You are talking about General Royce, right?"

Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly, although outsiders couldn't see it.

Wald XVIII's voice was not too high: "I have met him before, but he has nothing to do with the Saint-Varo royal family. I can only say that there are many wonders in this world."

Xu Shuo smiled: "That's probably because I remembered it wrong. After all, His Majesty was only fifteen years old when he was crowned in Guangming City."

King Wald XVIII's eyes moved slightly: "You actually still remember what I looked like back then?"
