Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

night.

In order to prepare for the official welcome of the princes and princesses of the Laurent Empire, the Holy See of the Fiery Sun convened a meeting of the church's top leaders.

All the saints who were staying in the Holy City were required to attend the meeting. Even Jenada received a notice of reinstatement and was urgently summoned to a meeting in the Holy See.

Only then did Jenada realize that the Laurent Empire had initially said that it would send "royal family members" but did not specify the exact number or members.

The Vatican never expected that William IV would send all of his children.

Is this emperor crazy? Isn't he afraid that something might go wrong and he will have no descendants?
Everyone knew that he was not afraid because Catherine was in her prime and the worst that could happen to William IV was that he would pass the throne to his sister.

Of course, the prerequisite for such a disaster to occur is that someone dares to do so against the empire.

Even the Federation doesn’t dare to do it, and it can’t do it in the Holy City of Fiery Sun.

One thing is for sure. Since so many princes and princesses have come from the empire, the Fiery Sun Church must treat these distinguished guests with caution and must send more manpower.

What's worse is... these princes and princesses are staying in the same hotel as Ye He...

Therefore, the masked female priest who presided over the meeting stood up and announced to all the people present in a cold and emotionless tone:
“There are two issues: First, dispatch at least ten teams of Fiery Sun Knights to guard the hotel where the Laurent royal family is staying, and dispatch another ten teams of Fiery Sun Knights as reserve.

Second, complete the transaction with Yehe."

After saying that, she sat down again. Her seat was the same height as Dargon, whom Ye He had met, and even higher than the row of saints who were doing nothing.

Her identity is self-evident. She is Hera's mother, Lacus' grandmother, one of the three most powerful high-ranking figures in the Church of the Fiery Sun, the Faceless Man!
"Sun Knight, not a problem."

The Chief Judge, Inst, was an extremely serious middle-aged man in armor. He opened his eyes, said something, and then closed his eyes again.

Confirming the establishment of the first agenda is not a big deal at all; the key point is the second agenda which he doesn’t even want to participate in.

Dargon had already hit a wall, and Jenada, who took Yehe over, got on Yehe's bed. The saints were tormented by Yehe.

Unless the old man who sits at the highest point in the council hall, second only to the Holy Emblem of the Fiery Sun, speaks up, no one will have the confidence to complete the deal with Ye He.

While the Pope remained silent, the people in the parliament hall could only stare at each other, and no one dared to accept the position.

You know, the God of Lieyang killed thousands of his believers and gave up a missionary area just because of this man's words.

The danger posed by this man, and his influence over the gods, is so severe that these clergymen are questioning the legitimacy of their own identities.

Lux, who was sitting in the Saint's seat, glanced at Finny who had a calm expression, and then looked at Gwen who seemed a little worried.

Then Lux looked at Nyx, the person she had the worst relationship with but who was exceptionally quiet today.

She paid close attention to observing Nyx's condition. This Saint of Dusk, who covered her face with the holy emblem like the Maiden of the Fiery Sun, concealed her condition very well.

But Lux was the first among the saints to arrive at the council hall, so she still remembered how Nyx carefully put her butt down when she sat down.

Haha... Ye He really didn't let me down.

Lux finally looked at her grandmother, a Faceless Person wearing a white mask without any facial features.

According to her judgment, the responsibility of negotiating a deal with Ye He should fall on her grandmother.

Even he himself could see the relationship between his dissolute mother and Ye He, let alone the high-ranking officials of the church.

Sure enough, the Pope also opened his eyes. When he did, the Holy Emblem of the Fiery Sun behind him lit up with a bright white light, obscuring his appearance and vision.

Jenada stood in the corner of the conference room, observing everyone present with interest.

She didn't let anyone notice her presence, but she knew that the Pope must be paying attention to her.

You were the one who gave up on me first! Just for such a small thing!
Jenada lowered her head, instead of looking up at the old man bathed in holy light as she did in the past.

She has made up her mind to stick with Ye He from now on!
But Jenada seemed to have forgotten that it was because of someone's deliberate intention that Elizabeth did not return to the extremely complicated Vatican.

She was "abandoned" and completely pushed to Yehe's side, which was actually a reflection of her "hard work" in serving this old man over the years.

Perhaps it will be a long time before Jenada realizes that there was an old man who had done her no wrong.

A conspicuous beam of light shot out from the holy light and illuminated the table in front of the Faceless Man.

"You go and handle our deal with that man. His demands... try to satisfy him as much as possible."

An old voice came out from the holy light, finalizing the second topic.

[Faceless Man] also stood up and saluted the Holy Light, then took on the task.

Afterwards, the holy light gradually retracted into the holy emblem, but the old man was no longer at the top.

The meeting ended here.

After the meeting, the clergy returned to their homes. Due to the order of exit, the saints were the second to last group to step out of the meeting room.

"Why do I feel that the Pope and Lord Dargon are very afraid of Ye He? Isn't this man the sponsor who brought money to invest in us?"

Ingrid, the Saint of Bright Light, who represented the nine o'clock in the morning, asked Cynthia, the Saint of Shining Light, who represented the ten o'clock in the morning.

These two saints have a good personal relationship, and they are both saints from the same city in the Federation, so they have a close relationship.

“You should ask them this question.”

Cynthia looked at the other saints with a subtle expression. She had a feeling that, except for the two of them, everyone else had had contact with Ye He.

"Oh? Finny, have you met Ye He?"

Ingrid, who relied on her lack of desire, was quite popular among the saints, so Finnie, who was walking out, turned around and smiled and responded to her:
"Well, Mr. Ye He is a good man."

"Oh?"

Finny's comment on Ye He as a "good man" made Ingrid and Cynthia look surprised.

"Sister Gwen, have you met Ye He too?"

Cynthia noticed that Gwen's expression became unusually strange after hearing Finny's comments about Ye He.

"Well, but... I think he is the worst bad guy! You'd better not go to meet him."

Gwen left after she finished speaking, leaving the two saints looking at each other in bewilderment.

Some of them didn't understand what Gwen meant. A bad guy is a bad guy. "Sinful", "evil", and "damnable" are the adjectives that are suitable for bad guys.

How could it be such a strange statement as "the worst"? "I also... don't recommend you to meet him."

Nyx passed by the two saints and kindly advised them.

But while speaking, Nyx couldn't help but glance at the buttocks of the two saints.

Is it because mine is... the biggest, that's why he bullies me so much?

The two saints looked at Nyx and shook their heads in confusion, then left with an unnatural and unharmonious pace.

"Nyx...what happened to her?"

"Is her foot injured?"

"No, her ass."

Lux was the last saint to come out of the conference hall. She casually told the truth, and then said to the two saints who were even more confused:

"If you are willing to pay, Ye He can satisfy all your wishes. He is a very fair man."

fair?

The two saints received different evaluations about Ye He from their colleagues, which made them more curious about what kind of person Ye He was.

"Lux."

An emotionless voice sounded from behind the saints. It was the Faceless Man, who was calling for her granddaughter.

Lux nodded to the two saints, then followed the Faceless Man and left in another direction.

The last two remaining saints could only look at each other again, and then left together with their own thoughts.

"Do you need me to accompany you to see Ye He?"

Lux was very familiar with her grandmother's personality. She knew that if she didn't speak up, her grandmother would remain silent.

"……Yes."

[Faceless Man] immediately responded to her sensible granddaughter. Compared with that ridiculous daughter who gave her a heart attack, this granddaughter was much better.

A warm, soft little hand was actively handed by Lux to the cold hand of the Faceless Man.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems with the deal. Ye He's goal isn't in this regard."

Lux held the hand of her grandmother, who was unkind but actually longed for family affection, and gave her a gentle smile that a well-behaved granddaughter should have.

This was very helpful to the Faceless Man. She tightened her hands slightly and the pressure accumulated in her heart was relieved a lot by her good granddaughter.

"What is his goal...?"

"Before he went up the holy mountain, none of us knew what he was going to do, but it might not be a bad thing for us."

After this question and answer, there was no further conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter.

They passed through the entire Vatican, got on a waiting carriage at the gate of the Vatican, and began to drive towards the holy city at the foot of the holy mountain.

This is the Faceless Man's decisive character. Now that she has accepted the Pope's mission, she will not delay for even a second.

As soon as the meeting ended, she brought Lux, who was friends with Ye He, down the mountain, ready to go directly to Ye He to negotiate a deal and complete the mission.

……

The hotel where Ye He stayed was also home to the princes and princesses of the Laurent Empire.

Tonight is their first day in the Holy City of Lieyang, even though the Holy See has not officially welcomed them yet, nor held a welcome banquet.

But they will create a suitable communication space for themselves to share what they have seen and heard in the Holy City of Fiery Sun, and try to determine what their great father wants them to do.

An executive hall of the hotel was transformed by a royal maid who was traveling with her into a "club" that was not large but comfortable enough.

There were a total of ten or so princes and princesses, who gathered into small groups of three or four according to their relationships with each other, and scattered on the booths arranged here.

Among them, the two most conspicuous seats in the center were specially reserved for the princes and princesses.

This is the location of Catalina and Cassio, but unfortunately, these two elder brothers and sisters did not show up.

"Carlos, I heard that you were stupid enough to believe Mingke's lies and go looking for trouble with Ye He?"

A princess came up to Carlos, who was sitting alone in a booth, and questioned him with a frown.

Considering that they have the same mother, Carlos did not say anything bad to his own sister. He just turned his head away awkwardly and agreed.

"You...well, you could at least get some advice from me! Fortunately, I didn't hear the news that you were killed by Ye He directly!"

The sister sat opposite Carlos, glaring at her brother who was being used as a tool with some disappointment.

"Getting advice from you? Aren't you just thinking about climbing into Ye He's bed? Even Katarina's is not immune.

I really don't understand what you are thinking. Do you think that you can tie down a man like that just by physical relationship?"

Carlos responded to his sister in anger, but failed to humiliate her and only received an increasingly contemptuous look from her.

"You idiot! You..."

The elder sister glanced at the other brothers and sisters present, and simply pulled Carlos' head closer to her, and whispered in his ear:
“With Ye He’s influence over the gods, and the power to kill the existence of world destruction.

As long as I can be his lover, at least our family can be protected from being liquidated after one of those two comes to power, and continue to prosper! Do you understand?"

Carlos was stunned.

The elder sister continued to lecture Carlos:
"Similarly, if you have the ability to become a friend or follower of Ye He, our family will be safe and sound, and I won't have to worry so much."

At this point, Carlos finally understood why these brothers and sisters were so obsessed with Ye He.

They did not intend to challenge Catalina and Cassio's status and then challenge the throne with the support of Yehe.

It’s simply because this is a shortcut that can easily help them protect their mother’s side of the family!
Although they all have the surname William, before they ascended the throne, the only people who truly and unconditionally supported them and were considered their "own people" were their mothers' families.

They still cannot escape the fate of the aristocratic circle, especially after becoming members of the royal family. Even if they do nothing, they will definitely become a threat in the eyes of those competing for the throne.

Now the safety of them and their families is due to the strong pressure and control of William IV, but when the "Fifth" appears, who will protect them?
Rather than saying that these princesses wanted to climb into Ye He's bed, it would be better to say that they were just trying to "save themselves". (End of this chapter)
