The female devils I saved came to my door

After His Majesty the Pope finished speaking, both of them were stunned for a long time.

Realizing the weight of this favor, they immediately saluted and expressed their gratitude.

Especially Hilna, she will become the only student in the history of the seminary who can receive direct guidance from a sitting pope.

Taking this opportunity, Charles asked: "Your Majesty, thank you for your promotion, but I have another unkind request."

"Go ahead."

"I have a student in Ipoli - a state in the Greater Hessende region, Hilna's hometown - and I promised to go back to visit her within two years. It has been more than a year now, and I am thinking , I should fulfill my promise, so, can you allow me to take a long leave temporarily and let me go back? If possible, I hope to bring her to Glory City to study."

When Sirna heard this, she realized that Ciel had not forgotten Lovna. She looked at the teacher with complicated eyes, but said nothing.

"You've just been promoted to personal guard, and you're thinking of taking a leave?"

The pope's tone could not tell whether he was dissatisfied or indifferent: "This is not good. Charles, you are a promising person, it is better to stay in the Holy See and train. If you really want to take that student over, wait until later, the Great Hessend The knight on duty in the area will return and pick her up along the way."

"..." Charles remained silent.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now." His Majesty the Pope suddenly showed an unknown smile: "There is a child who wants to see you very much - hello, come in."

"Huh?" Charles suddenly had an ominous premonition.

A beautiful woman wearing a black patterned dress, with long blond hair spread behind her like silk, leaned out of the side door of the office.

After her emerald pupils reflected Ciel's image, a gentle smile appeared on her porcelain face.

Then, she walked out of the room briskly, and under Sirna's shocked and surprised eyes, she walked up to Ciel, stretched out her arms with spell patterns, and hugged him tightly.

"Katlin?!"

"Well, the child's condition has improved, her mood has stabilized, and the curses on her have been suppressed. This is all thanks to you, Ciel. From now on, there is no need to treat this poor child The child is locked up in that hut. I decided to make her existence public, and from now on, as the Pope's bodyguard, you will also come and see her more often."

Looking at this woman who was extremely close to her teacher Ciel, and Ciel who was obviously very embarrassed, Sirna's eyes became very - subtle:

"Teacher Charles... who is this beautiful lady... do you know her?" She approached Charles and asked in a low voice.

The hostility in her tone could no longer be concealed.

"Hilna, this is Katrin, she is Monroe's daughter. In the past six months, she has been helped by Charles to take care of her." St. Ann IV introduced slowly at the side: "Katlin's The situation is quite special, you can ask Charles to explain it to you after you get home."

Next to him, there was Katrin who was looking at him tenderly, and there was Hillna who was staring at him coldly from behind.

He felt really numb.

46. ​​The characters of the story are about to gather together

This time, after the incident of Viscount Prafatin colluding with the heretical "Holy Eucharist Training Society", the relevant personnel received different treatment.

The viscount's close friends, colleagues in neighboring territories, and the archduke who served as his immediate boss... were all punished and punished, and were defined by the Holy See as "suspects of heretical collusion."

The viscount's territory is currently managed by the local church.

Ether Monroe, who was deemed negligent by the Pope, committed a fatal negligence in the performance of his official duties, and was forced to accept a semi-exiled mission, sent to hunt down the heretics of the "Eucharist Seminar" in order to atone for his sins. .

As for Charles, he became a personal guard designated by the Pope himself. He could enter and exit the Glorious Cathedral at will and meet the Pope.

In the past, bodyguards were prestigious positions that only old paladins with outstanding merits, or the second sons of powerful princes and princes, had the opportunity to hold. This was the favor of the Holy See to others.

Ciel, who was less than [-] years old, was directly promoted to the rank of bodyguard by the Pope himself. With such grace, he was able to ascend to heaven in one step.

Sirna also became a student taught by His Majesty the Pope himself.

But the biggest problem is Katrin.

Since Monroe left, the woman's existence has become public.

She immediately became a hot topic of conversation throughout Glory City and even in surrounding countries.

Lord Sword Master actually has a daughter!She’s still in her 20s!

The mentality of many people has undergone tremendous changes as a result.

For example, Hilna.

Recalling what Sirna did at that time, Charles always felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Although, after I returned home, I told her how I met Catlin, and I apologized frankly, saying that I was really sorry for hiding it from you, but after all, it was Your Majesty's and Monroe's privacy, and I had no choice but to keep it a secret - but she Still very angry.

"After learning about Katrin's existence, Hilna began to think about it. She recalled the subtle relationship between me and Monroe in the past, and made her judgment. She believed that Lord Monroe did not want to accept her as a student from the beginning. I thought that Monroe valued me so much because he wanted to find a good and reliable husband for his demented daughter and take care of the funeral.

“Especially when she learned that the fairy tale picture book I stayed up late to make was the one the Pope asked me to make for Catherine, she was even more angry.

"After that, once His Majesty the Pope summons me and asks me to take care of Catherine, she will definitely find an excuse to come over; if I come home late at night, she will immediately get angry and ask questions; there are a few days when I go to bed in the morning When I woke up, I also found her lying next to my bed and staying up all night staring at me... I also felt that her possessiveness towards me was a little too strong, but I couldn't say anything to her.

"After all, when I complain or tell her to mind her own business, she feels wronged, and she looks at me with tears in her eyes, asking me if she did something wrong, asking me if I hate her... What can I do?

"Of course, this is not all... Mr. Monroe's departure and the disclosure of Katrin's existence caused an uproar in the Holy See."

At that time, people were surprised that the swordmaster Ether Munro, who was the pillar of the Holy See, actually left the Glory City to hunt down those heretical mages who were as elusive as ghosts. He was not allowed to accept help from others. This task was like being exiled. Same.

He was even more surprised that the stern sword master actually had such a beautiful but silly and strange daughter.

Despite the Pope's orders, no one is allowed to spread rumors related to Catherine, and Catherine is not allowed to move outside the Glow Cathedral.

However, the relevant information was still dug out by the bad guys.

From the dusty files of the past, people peeled off the cocoons and speculated about the woman who worshiped Ether Munro three or forty years ago and became his student. She eventually became a Paladin and fell in love with Munro.

Judging from the few remaining portraits of that woman, she was indeed beautiful.

A very few old people also have an impression of that woman. They remember her as an optimistic and cheerful swordswoman who admired Monroe extremely.

She has long silky golden hair, emerald green eyes, and a slender figure.Because Paladins can get married, they have many followers, including some high-ranking figures.

But her answer to others at that time was always "I have someone I like."

At that time, people only thought she was looking for an excuse to reject the suitor, but they didn't expect it to be true.

People are also curious that a meticulous person like Monroe can actually have love.

This makes many people feel that their character has collapsed.

The strong, upright, and selfless warrior in everyone's eyes seemed to have turned into an old shameless man who secretly played with his female students.

Especially when this Munro left Glory City alone and was sent half-assed to hunt down heretics, there were even more messy rumors about him.

Even though the Pope has issued an express decree prohibiting the spread of rumors, in private, those gossips still keep talking.

As for Katrin, who is at the center of this public opinion storm, she has certainly received a lot of attention.

However, due to the protection of the Pope and her own simplicity, she certainly did not know how strong the outside world's curiosity and malice towards her was.

She was just a little surprised that her father, who used to visit her often, disappeared again.

Moreover, she disappeared for a long time this time and never came back to see her.

But she was not that sad, because she no longer had to live in that small windowless house, but could play every day in this big house full of doors, windows, reliefs, paintings, and towering domes.

Although she was not strong enough and always staggered when walking, the church was big enough and she could sit down and rest anywhere.

Every hall here has countless exquisite murals.The mottled light and shadow cast through the stained glass is even more beautiful.There are also the portraits in the warehouse exhibition halls, the ancient collections on display, the amazingly large-scale religious paintings on the domes...each one is more beautiful than what you see in the illustrated books.

When she felt tired after a long period of love, she could return to the Pope's office and rest next to the kind old woman, St. Ann IV.

Katrin could still see Lord Ciel every now and then (although the beautiful girl with blue hair behind Ciel always stared at her fiercely and would stop her from hugging Ciel, and she didn’t know why. ), ask him to read a picture book to you, or hold his hand, invite him to wander around this cathedral with you, and share with him the beautiful jewelry you see here.

Katrin has always believed that he is a god from another world, a god who controls the life and death of countless fairy tale characters in another world. She is very grateful that he can change those tragic endings for her, so Katrin has special respect for him.

This made Ciel a little uneasy.

Ciel himself, due to the presence of Silna and the embarrassment and sensitivity of his own identity, certainly could not accept Katrin's innocent and innocent act of intimacy.

At that time, he did not realize the profound meaning of the papal crown.

His Majesty the Pope has already begun to cultivate him.

------------------************-----------------

In the tavern of Lovnania, Ciel paused for a moment as he slowly talked about the past.

So far, all the characters in this story who are inseparable from his destiny and will be forever engraved in his memory have appeared.

Catlin Monroe;

Hilna von Ippoli;

Lovna von Ippoli;

Ether Munro;

St. Ann IV.

This made Ciel feel a little emotional.

Unexpectedly, after so long, I still clearly remember every moment I met them. I remember their appearance, demeanor and temperament, as if they were imprinted on the deepest layer of my memory.

Thinking of this, he rubbed his forehead.

"Master Charles, do you have a headache? You have been rubbing your forehead."

"I have a headache..." He felt a little uncomfortable: "I don't want to continue talking about the following things for the time being... Wuming, do you know why I took you to teleport to Lovnaniya?"

Wuming gave his own guess: "Uh... because Miss Lovna is chasing us so closely, you choose to hide in her kingdom. After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

"Not entirely. In fact, among my old friends, I feel that I owe Lovna the most - as her teacher, I was not able to accompany her during her growth and transformation. In her When I really found myself and built my achievements, I didn't really appreciate everything she built. So, subconsciously, I also wanted to see this city. Of course, the most important thing is that I have to come here to find out about her. Find my why.”

"Oh……"

"So..." Charles said, stood up and patted Wuming on the shoulder: "You have a day of rest, we will change clothes tomorrow, and I will take you around the city.

"By the way, I'll tell you what Lovna went through when she was growing up to become a queen."

47. Opera performance in Lovnaniya

Lovenania.

This is a city built in the Great Blacksend region thousands of years ago.

At that time, the city was still a military fortress and very small.In addition to the barracks, there is only one monastery in the city.In addition to chanting scriptures, the monks in the monastery also occasionally held battle axes with the soldiers and prayed on the battlefield.

Therefore, this was a proper military camp at that time.

Outside the city, there are only endless dark green forests and contiguous swamps.

However, since the great empress - Lovna - chose this city as her capital and guided her descendants to establish East Ipoli, over the course of thousands of years, the city has experienced several expansions as the empire has prospered.

The surrounding forests have been cut down, the lakes have been drained, and the hills have been leveled. The city is getting bigger and bigger, like a giant life form. It feeds on trees, bricks, and iron ore, and continues to grow and assimilate the surrounding environment. everything.

Today, it has become the capital of the East Ipolitan Empire, an important political and cultural center on the continent, and one of the largest and most prosperous cities on the continent so far.

On the outskirts of the solemn imperial city is the dense outer ring capital.

The crisscrossing main roads divide the city into a dense grid.In this grid, the independent but interconnected communities are the basic units that make up the city. From the appearance of each community, we can get a glimpse of the city's complexity and diversity.

There are garden villas where only nobles and princes can stay, and dirty bars where commoners and porters can enjoy inferior drinks;

There are bloody and cruel underground fighting arenas, as well as elegant and elegant opera halls;

There are noisy markets where small vendors from all over the place gather, selling all kinds of bargains, and there are also luxurious clubs where only the upper class can enter and spend money, and ordinary people are excluded;

There are extravagant orgies that deserve damnation, and there are also slums built with broken boards and sand;

Monks study in ancient and solemn monasteries; nobles enjoy themselves in luxurious high-rise houses; common people rush around in noisy and chaotic streets...

Speaking in various accents, believers from all over the mainland gathered together in this capital city.

Some of them work hard for a living, some enjoy life, some worry about the future, and some only live in the present...

But no matter where, no matter where they come from, no matter their status, everyone can find their own suitable position in Lovenaniya.

Then, they spend their money and wealth and enjoy the treatment that matches their status and status.

As for Wuming, he rested in that hotel for two or three days, passing the time relying on the past events told by Charles.

Her body gradually regained its strength.

After these days, after listening to those stories, Wuming felt that his understanding of Ciel had deepened, but he felt that Ciel's image became even more unfamiliar.

What exactly happened to him and his two students?Why did Lovna show such hateful love to him?What has become of Sirna now?How on earth did he and his wife get together?Why doesn't Ciel want to continue reminiscing?

She wanted to ask more questions and wanted to know what happened next.

But Charles seemed reluctant to speak out.

After Wuming recovered, he bought a newspaper in the city, checked the repertoire of the nearby opera house, and made a decision.
