Hua Rong chuckled to himself, while Earl Baker was probably kicking himself.

He had only considered that the heir should be of his own bloodline, but forgot that strength was equally important.

Although they have titles, they can hire magicians as servants.

But only a powerful and capable master can ensure the continuation of the family's honor!

He finally understood, but he was forced to make a fool of himself.

However, he still tried to argue, and said to King Kate, "Your Majesty, His Holiness the Pope has come to our palace once in a while, we should treat him well, and not trouble His Holiness the Pope to spend time testing my daughter, should we?"

Before King Kate could speak, the Pope suddenly smiled and said, "It's alright. I find Miss Lori particularly appealing, and she doesn't seem like someone without elemental power. Perhaps it wasn't detected the first time. Don't forget, if you don't detect elemental power at eight years old, there's still a 20% chance you'll be able to detect it at eighteen."

Earl Baker knew this, of course, but he never imagined that Lori would be one of them!

Moreover, even in the best-case scenario, Lori possesses some kind of elemental power.

However, having cultivated for ten years less than others, it will probably take until he is thirty or forty years old to improve his strength.

At that time, her peers were all stronger than her.

Sigh, he's not suitable to be an heir either!

Unless she possesses exceptionally rare power... well, that's just wishful thinking.

Earl Baker looked at King Kate, still wanting to struggle a little more.

Even if everyone later finds out that Lori is an ordinary person, it won't be as humiliating as losing face in front of others like this.

At worst, I can just announce to the public that I won't let Lori be my heir, and the outside world will just laugh it off.

But if he gets involved with the Pope or the royal palace, he'll probably be ridiculed for the rest of his life.

Queen Kate, seeing the look in Earl Baker's eyes, waved her hand and said, "It's just a matter of a few minutes, why are you in such a hurry? Even His Holiness the Pope doesn't mind."

As the king, his children all possessed elemental powers, and he didn't give Earl Beck any thought.

Even if he knew what he was thinking, he wouldn't think that Lori didn't have elemental powers.

Even if we assume we don't have it, so what?

Only 1 in 1000 people in this world possess elemental powers.

It's perfectly normal if Lori doesn't have one!

"Don't worry, Earl, I don't mind," the Pope said, looking at Hua Rong.

His eyes were very complex, making people think deeply.

If it weren't for the fact that the Pope himself was an absolute beauty, Hua Rong would have arrogantly thought that the Pope had taken a liking to her.

At this moment, Hua Rong was completely unaware that the saintess, who had always been expressionless, cold as ice, and like a goddess, was staring at her.

There was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

Meili had never seen her master with such an expression.

What was there about this woman that made him notice her?

Is it because she's pretty?

That's not right, her looks are no less than this woman's.

So Master, why did you smile at her?

Mei couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

She smiled. An ordinary person like her, who, even with a pretty face, lacked the ability to protect himself, could not possibly be favored by his master.

Melie, who had followed the Pope for many years, knew very well that the Pope's greatest belief was in power.

The papacy he now sits in, and the sainthood she now holds as an author, both rose to their positions by stepping over countless bones.

They possess the brightest power of light, yet they are still inevitably tainted by darkness.

Only by experiencing all the darkness in the world can one spread light throughout it.

All those who are powerless, or inferior to him, are nothing but ants before him.

It's simply a matter of having great or small abilities.

Mary glanced at the Pope, her eyes filled with obvious admiration.

However, no matter who your gaze falls on, I only allow you to see me!

If anyone catches your eye, I will make sure they never appear in front of you again!

Meili lowered her eyes, completely concealing the gloom in them.

Hua Rong ignored the nonsense around her and looked at no one.

She does need a sufficiently prestigious status in the Kingdom of Kate, the future heir to the Earl's mansion. Well, while she's still not entirely satisfied with this status, it's the best position she can get right now, and it's perfectly legitimate!

She placed her hand on the energy ball, and suddenly, the energy ball shone brightly!

The energy ball stung the eyes of everyone who was inadvertently looking at it, causing them to feel pain.

"What's going on? Why is it so bright?!"

"She actually possesses elemental power? What kind of element is this? Why is the energy ball reacting so strongly?! Ah, it's so blinding! Damn it!"

"Could it be the power of metal? No, it should be the attribute of light! Wow, this young lady from the Earl of Shell's mansion actually possesses a special attribute power?"

"No, look! That's not light attribute at all!"

Even though Pope Jais had realized that the girl in front of him might not be an ordinary person.

But he couldn't help but be surprised when the energy ball emitted such a dazzling light.

Aside from him, probably only a few archmages present could clearly see the changes on this energy sphere.

At this moment, one half of the energy sphere, which originally emitted only a faint white light, was now glowing with a milky white light, while the other half showed signs of shattering, like a broken mirror.

These two strange and unusual lights each occupied half of the energy sphere, making the entire energy sphere mysterious and eerie.
