Chapitre 240: Su Luxi (39)

The Pope declared passionately, "... They are the Goddess' people so we  can't drive them out. However, we are about to do an important ceremony and we can't afford to have a distraction. Send them to the back garden and the mini-forest for now. Have a few of our brothers in faith guard them and keep order."

"We understand, Your Holiness. We'll do as you said."

After nodding, the Pope led everyone deep into the church. After a minute of walking, they reached the place where the Saintess appeared. The mood of those around turned low, especially the newly crowned Emperor.  

Duke Bolden who had been quiet for some time noticed the atmosphere. But since there was something bothering his mind, he chose to break the silence, respectfully asking the Pope. "Your Holiness, when you said there is an important ceremony to do... what do you mean by that?"
