"I just want to dance with you once."
"I also..."
Lin Qing couldn't help laughing when she saw Leina smiling.
"But there's still a lot of work to do~.
"Hehe, the pope is also human, you can definitely dance once, maybe everyone will understand this." Lin Qing calmed her nerves.
"Well, since that's the case, it's okay."
The two danced to the melody.
The two staggered, as if they had known each other for a long time, without a second of embarrassment.
"They're a perfect match."
"Warrior of God and Apostle of God?"
Those who were staring at the Pope and Lin Qing were stunned for a moment, and they all followed the melody together.
The day after the big party.
What happened in the banquet hall the day before yesterday spread throughout the capital before noon.
Whether it is a salon where nobles gather or a tavern where commoners gather, the same principle applies.
"The pope is hosting a banquet?"
"It was a victory party, collecting donations from priests and nobles so they could help soldiers breed people who suffered in the Civil War.
"This kind of banquet should be held whenever possible!"
"Yes!"
The crowd gathered and raised their glasses as high as they could, praising the pope.
At this moment, a handsome man spoke with a dissatisfied face.
"The pope dancing at a banquet! No, I don't understand. Can a divine apostle do such a thing?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent immediately, and then discussed again.
"Dancing, so what?"
"Yeah, did it ever say in the book that angels shouldn't dance?"
"I think she's trying to be human? Isn't that bad?"
While the civilians were concerned about the dancing issue, the Kui people focused on analyzing the pope's recent actions and the intentions of the future political situation.
"Viscount Lev's actions were obviously intentional."
"It seems that he didn't do it alone...... Grand Duke Gregory is also behind the scenes?"
After all, unlike what Lin Qing cared about, the pope's dancing posture was hardly criticized.
Only a few conservative and narrow-minded priests and enthusiastic followers of Veronica III made a fuss and said "God's apostle should not do this!".
The streets and alleys of Beijing are very noisy.
Displeased with Reina's behavior the day before, Tandin goes to meet Reina.
"My lord, why have you been like this these days?"
"What do you mean?"
"Were you encouraged by that mercenary?"
She vetoed his words and gave him a title and a fortune.
At the same time, she danced with him at the banquet and made love to him.
Her doubts and suspicious behavior were so common that he couldn't resist asking a lot of questions.
However, Reina didn't seem flustered by his question.
"What would you do if so, and what would you do if not?"
"Holy Pope!"
"Didn't the Regent say that he is a soldier of God? Do you think it's strange for me to see him like this?"
"That...."
Tan Ding failed to answer Reina's question, he paused and said: "This is just a story I fabricated to suppress the rebellion, doesn't God's apostle know better than anyone that he is not a soldier?"
"He is a foreign mercenary and has nothing to do with our sect. The Holy Pope, as the representative of our god Cassel, is obliged to remain chaste. Falling in love is not allowed.
Hearing this, Zhang Peng behind Leina frowned.
However, he didn't jump out on his own to defend her.
Reina, who was reading scriptures before Tandin's arrival, closed the book.
Reina looked him straight in the eyes and said, "Who said that? I read the scriptures carefully, but there is nowhere that says I have the obligation to keep chastity.
"That, that..."
In fact, nothing can be found of what Tantin said, neither in Cassel nor in any of the classics of the successive Saints.
They just want men to control their desires, not forbid their behaviour.
The unmarried state became a custom because it seemed to be conducive to carrying out the mission of the gods and dedicating oneself to the empire in this way.
"There is also the responsibility of keeping chastity. Many high-ranking priests have secretly given birth to illegitimate children. Shouldn't they be punished?"
Tandin was silent.
It was him, but he did know that most of the high priests of Yinke secretly married and had children, except for the most holy and supreme.
The little patriarch supported the god and turned it into a holy empire.
Much later, prosperity and political stability led to corruption and depravity in El Cassel Sanctuary.
Women are recruited only to bear illegitimate children.
There were strong dissenting voices at the beginning, but about three hundred years ago, three tribes including the Marians monopolized it, and no one has been able to change it since then.
...asking for flowers...
Perhaps, from that moment on...
God's commission never came to the sanctuary.
"This, that is just the speculation of our sect, the fact is..."
"Isn't that the truth? You expect me to believe those words? Words of people who change God's Word as they please?"
Reina stood up from her seat and snapped back.
Standing unaware, took a step back.
He could feel his heart getting colder and colder.
The pope in front of him is not that silly girl who keeps calling her grandpa.
At this moment, he didn't even recognize her anymore.
Like the monarch of an empire, dignity can be felt from her.
"Let me make it clear for you, I am no longer the Veronica of Archbishop Tandin, I can now make decisions with my own thoughts, so the Archbishop will now be deprived of his position, go do other work."
"sorry?"
"Don't you understand what I just asked you? I am removing your regency."
boom!
Tan Ding's head was struck by lightning.
He looked at Reina in disbelief, and raised his voice and asked, "What happened to Alvira? When the assassin attacked you, did you hit your head? Or were you brainwashed by that mercenary?"
Otherwise, such a situation would mean nothing to Tandin.
A man is ready to answer the question.
"The Holy Pope is not wrong."
"Gregory, Grand Duke Gregory!"
Its sudden appearance startled Tandin.
However, Reina seemed to know he would come.
"She just retrieved the lost memory before, Holy Patriarch, didn't she?"
Regarding the question of Grand Duke Gregory, Reina nodded.
"What the hell does this mean?" Standing still didn't understand what was going on.
"It's not something you need to know, and you haven't even made any effort to understand them until now. You just need to know that she's not the Pope who just took orders from you, not anymore."
"Is this your work?"
Tandin stared intently at Grand Duke Gregory.
He thought that if Gregory and Veronica had been together for a long time, then this drastic change would make sense.
"No, it's not, it's God's decision to change the pope again.".
