Looking at their backs, Zhang Peng couldn't help sighing.
"Bah, I'm sorry for letting you see that."
As a loyal minister of the Volga royal family, Zhang Peng didn't like those people very much.
And they dared to get close to the princess' lover, and even tried to cheat him!
He really wanted to tuck them somewhere and lock them up forever.
"It's okay, when will you come?"
"She'll be here soon."
"Really? Anyway, the uniform looks really good on you. When were you appointed a paladin?"
"Only paladins can pass through the temple.
The two were talking for a while, when the music at the banquet stopped abruptly, accompanied by a burst of bells and announcements.
"Apostle of the Great Lord, representative of the seven tribes, Pope Veronica III of the Holy Arthurian Empire!"
The door of the banquet hall was opened, and Reina walked in in a white dress.
She was as beautiful as ever, but this time she was more like Snow White, in a white dress and a tiara of pearls and gemstones.
"She, she is the Pope?"
"Isn't she exactly the same as when we saw her in the throne room?"
The young nobles salivated at the first sight of her, and even the Chinese nobles and priests couldn't take their eyes off her.
No one can blame them.
Even those noble ladies who never thought that anyone could surpass their own beauty were jealous of Reina's elegant beauty.
Reina looked around and greeted everyone.
"Thank you to everyone in the room who came to this meeting despite their busy schedules."
Listening to Reina's energetic voice, everyone responded in unison.
"Not at all, Pope."
"Obviously, we have to attend the Pope's victory banquet."
"Thank you so much for making this place so buzzing."
Hearing the sweet responses from the nobles, Reina said with a smile.
"If that's the case, I'm happy. Before we start celebrating, I want all of us to remember those who died in the Civil War.
Reina just finished speaking
Under the signal of Archbishop Tandin, the palace orchestra began to play a grand and solemn hymn.
Reina knelt down and prayed.
"Holy and great order, and the god of light and justice! Today we are..."
The moment she opened her lips and prayed with a beautiful voice, divine power began to flow around.
The nobles were amazed to see divine power gathering around her like flower petals.
"This is!"
"The pope is indeed an angel!"
Some nobles who attended the banquet witnessed her miracle in the main square of blessing.
But for most of them, it was the first time they witnessed it at the banquet.
Thus, they can see it for themselves and be able to dispel their doubts.
After the words fell, Lena got up from her original position: "It's been a long time since I have such a peaceful atmosphere."
With her clapping, the pedestal was removed and the banquet officially began.
At this moment, the trainee priests walked into the banquet hall carrying boxes.
"What are they doing?"
Count Marcus seemed unimpressed by the behavior at the banquet.
"Accept donations to help soldiers and people wounded in the war..." said an apprentice.
"What? A donation? How dare you do such a thing on this occasion?"
Seeing that Earl Marcus looked a little angry, the apprentice responded calmly.
"The words of the Pope."
"Huh! Really?"
"Yes, everyone gathered here loves the Holy Empire and the people of the Holy Empire, so you can give as much as you want."
Hearing this, Earl Marcus and others looked at the Pope.
After everything was ready, Reina sat on a colored chair and looked at the members in the hall with a smile.
The hearts of the nobles became heavy when they saw the angel with the most beautiful smile.
"Obviously, obviously I'm going to donate, but I don't have much money with me right now."
"It doesn't matter, any help will be useful." The apprentice replied.
It was said that the nobles sweated profusely and presented rings, necklaces and other expensive jewelry.
Lin Qing and Zhang Peng couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, it's amazing."
"You can't just waste (cdbd) tax dollars collected from the people to build regimes."
With such laughter, the apprentices worked hard to fill up the donation box.
"We, us too?"
"Yes, the Pope, the Pope said that if it was you two, you would pay a lot."
"This is!"
Bell watches his master find something to donate and realizes that his master's woman is very different from anyone he's ever met.
Dancing and music are indispensable at the banquet.
Accompanied by cheerful dances in the middle, young men and women began to walk towards the center of the hall hand in hand.
Looking at this scene, Lin Qing didn't realize what she was doing, so she moved closer to Leina.
Paladin guards stopped him as he approached.
"Please take a step back.............
"It doesn't matter, he is a warrior of God, he will never hurt me."
Under Reina's guarantee, the paladin seemed a little flustered, but quickly withdrew.
Lin Qing approached her, bowed her head politely and extended her hand.
"Can I ask you to sing a song?" Lin Qing asked.
"How dare you harass the Pope, Apostle of God!"
Archbishop Constantine next to Lena was a little unhappy.
Seeing the changes in Reina's attitude and behavior, he was a little nervous.
She's grown up lately, and she's a completely different person from the one he'd met the first day.
It's crazy enough to have her at the banquet, and don't let the mercenaries get close to her!
"It's okay, a song is not difficult."
"What are you talking about, Pope, Apostle of God..."
"Didn't the Pope himself say yes?"
Hearing Lin Qing's low question, Tan Ding's expression changed.
In the past two years, he has been trying to correct Veronica and Shi's behavior like children.
And if he does not get the Pope to agree with him, he will lose the dignity of being a Marius, and he uses the Pope for this.
Even if she made a mistake, he never pointed it out.
Because he might be asked by the opposition to limit the pope's opinion.
He was always careful, but couldn't stop himself from making mistakes.
Was it because he was flustered by the change that had taken place in the pope?
"Did that mercenary do it on purpose?"
Just when Tan Ding couldn't figure out his thoughts, Lei Na walked to the center of the banquet hall following Lin Qing's hand extended to her.
When she appeared, both nobles and priests were shocked.
Before this, the pope had never danced at a banquet.
Veronica III was a young woman, unlike the Popes before them.
"This has never happened before in history..."
While the young nobles were shocked and jealous, the middle-aged nobles were eager to interpret the situation politically.
"Anyway, I think Archbishop Tandin is doomed!"
"The Holy Pope doesn't want to listen to him anymore."
"This could be a good opportunity for someone..."
There was a lot of voices around, but Lin Qing didn't care about anyone except the woman in front of her. .
