When the fighting in the Colosseum reached its climax, the Rhodes family also successfully reached the Imperial City Church on the other side.
The godfather received the news in advance, led a group of believers to wait outside the door early, and then led them to the baptism site.
Churches often best demonstrate the strength of a country, and the Imperial City Church does just that. The towering dome and the magnificent statue of Jesus are the most magnificent masterpieces of the empire.
The old Duke led everyone to sit down in the front row of the prayer room.
At the climax of the baptism ceremony, the believers, under the guidance of the godfather, closed their eyes and began to pray and repent most devoutly to God.
This is the most solemn moment in the church, and it is also the most critical and even the most important part of the baptism ceremony.
During this period, no ecstasy or blasphemous behavior is allowed.
But Bai Wu slowly opened her eyes.
Sure enough, the seat next to Froze that originally belonged to him was now empty.
She couldn't help but secretly clicked her tongue.
If Froze is the youngest prince that His Majesty left behind among the people.
If Froze returned to the imperial city with ambition and revenge.
So why did he suddenly leave the church at this time?
Is it because Crown Prince Celia is currently on the other side of the Colosseum?
Well, there will be a big show today.
Just as Bai Wu expected, Froze sneaked out, walked straight through the back garden, and came to a pavilion made of pure white marble.
There was already someone waiting there.
It is none other than the owner of the Colosseum.
As early as a year ago, he also joined Froze's command, secretly collecting money among the nobles and searching for target persons for him.
After seeing Froze, the Colosseum Master subconsciously wanted to salute, but Froze raised his hand to stop him.
"I don't have much time, have everything been done?"
As soon as he left the public's sight, the young man's expression became gloomy and indifferent.
There is also an aura of fierceness and determination that does not belong to his age.
The owner lowered his head and said, "Back to Your Highness, everything is in order. I have led the person to the back garden. I also bought the things in the wine from the black market. The medicine is effective enough to ensure that the whole thing goes smoothly."
Froze nodded with satisfaction.
Since Janis intends to let her daughter cling to Celia.
Then why doesn't he make it happen?
The future king of an empire was having an affair with the daughter of a criminal minister.
I believe this matter will cause quite a stir.
The ceremony bells in the distance began to roar, and Froze subconsciously looked at the pure white dome of the building.
"The baptism is about to end. You should go back to the Colosseum first. I will contact you if anything happens."
"Yes, Your Highness."
As soon as he finished speaking, Froze hurriedly turned back along the original road without looking back.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he shows up or not, or whether he is present or not.
After all, he is now dispensable to most people.
However, in that place full of falsehood and hypocrisy, there still sat his Miriel.
Miriel who misses him with all her heart.
He couldn't let her worry.
When she opened her eyes again, the young man was already sitting firmly beside her.
He closed his eyes tightly and clasped his hands in front of his chest, devoutly like God's most proud believer.
Bai Wu raised the corners of her mouth mockingly, but did not reveal the trick of this little liar. Instead, she looked at him for a while and then poked him with her finger.
"Froze, the ceremony is over, you can open your eyes."
Only then did Froze open his eyelashes and look at her in confusion.
Bai Wu smiled and said: "What are you praying for? You are more serious than the godfather."
"Well" Froze lowered his head, then raised it again after a moment, with a rare clarity in his eyes.
He looked at the girl in front of him seriously, his thin crimson lips opening and closing.
"I am praying to God to keep my sister safe and healthy."
By the way, he will be able to forgive all his concealments in the near future.
Bai Wu flicked his forehead lovingly.
"You."
Another trace of crimson appeared on Froze's ears, and then he looked at the girl in front of him: "Sister, what are you praying for?"
Bai Wu's eyes blinked slightly, and then a warm smile began to spread there.
"Of course I wish my Froze could be happy every day and never have any worries."
No, how could she do such a childish thing as praying to the gods?
After the ceremony, the group visited the entire church under the leadership of the godfather.
The old Duke patiently explained to Bai Wu who was supporting him.
Aisi on the side estimated that the time was almost here, and hurriedly took Bai Wu's arm and said with a smile:
"Dear sister, don't you know? There is a huge garden behind this church that connects to the Colosseum on the other side. I believe the scenery there must be beautiful at this time of year."
Bai Wu hid her shrewd eyes and her expression became interested.
"Okay, it sounds very good. Grandpa, let's go there for a walk."
The old Duke, who was in a very good mood, naturally would not refuse his granddaughter's request, so he took the entire family to the back garden.
At this time, Janis was staying in the back garden.
She knew that good things would happen between her daughter and Celia, so she specially stayed here to avoid bad things.
But what she never expected was that she would actually see someone from the Rhodes family.
She never thought why they would come here.
Janis panicked immediately, turned pale and began to hide.
But how could this possibly escape Ais's eyes?
She originally came here to make Janis and her daughter look embarrassed, so the moment she saw Janis, she suddenly said out loud from a distance:
"Hey, look, isn't that Aunt Janice?"
Everyone looked around and saw someone.
But the other party seemed extremely embarrassed, and even a little panicked.
The old Duke frowned and stepped forward with his scepter.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you take Lily to Earl Rafexis' Mansion for afternoon tea?"
Helpless, Janis had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet her father's sharp eyes.
She wiped her cold sweat and replied bitterly: "I, I went to the Earl's Palace, but it happened that their family had something to do, so I took Lily to the church to attend the baptism. Isn't there a baptism ceremony today?"
This lie is too easy to see through.
Because they didn't see Janice's presence the whole time.
As the old Duke who knew her best, he also saw the clues at a glance. After looking around, his expression gradually became colder.
"Where's Lily?"
Janis started to tremble. The incident happened so suddenly that she didn't know how to deal with it at all. She could only say with a pale face: "Lily, Lili, she went to the bathroom, and I was waiting for her here."
The old Duke snorted and looked directly at Reske.
"Go and take someone to look for her, in case something happens to that girl."
Janice hurriedly stepped forward: "No, father, it doesn't matter, why bother to mobilize so many troops, I"
