Over the years, Feng Guang and Herman have met before, but the opportunity is rare. Even when they occasionally bump into each other at the Vatican, they are far apart and only exchange a fleeting glance.

Perhaps because he had less contact with Herman, he no longer had the opportunity to use various excuses to write self-criticisms. As for Herman, Fengguang no longer had as much natural fear of him. She smiled again, "Your Excellency is still busy with the safety of the Holy See."

"It's my duty." This was indeed Hermann's answer. Whenever someone praised him for his hard work, he would only reply with the phrase, "It's my duty."

Feng Guang smiled gently, "Your Excellency the Bishop is still the same as before."

Nearly ten years have passed, and Hermann's appearance has not changed much. He still has the honey-colored hair that is so popular, as well as his deep blue eyes, including his very sculpted and cold-lined facial features. The only change is that his masculinity seems to have become even stronger...

Feng Guang blushed. How could she have thought of that? Shaking her head, she coughed and cleared her throat, saying, "Your Excellency, did that person steal something just now?"

This is purely using questions to cover up one's own insecurity.

Herman said calmly, "He stole the Holy Stone."

“The Sacred Stone?” Feng Guang said uncertainly, “I heard that it was something left behind by the Goddess of Light in the human world.”

“That’s right,” Herman said. “The Vatican is about to begin selecting a saintess who can inherit the goddess’s power, and the Sacred Stone is a very important thing.”

The saintess can possess the power of a goddess, which will greatly help the Holy See to completely eliminate the Wizarding Association.

Just then, an eagle flew in through the window and landed on Eve's hand. Eve took the note from the eagle's talons, read it, and said, "Your Highness, my grandfather is seriously ill, and I need to go back."

“Then go ahead,” Feng Guang said. “The bishop is here with me, and my father and mother will come to pick me up later, so you don’t need to worry about my safety.”

Eve glanced at Herman again, seemingly confirming that he was a trustworthy person, before she bowed and turned to leave.

When only a man and a woman remained in the corridor, the atmosphere became inexplicably subtle.

Fengguang looked at Herman cautiously, "His Holiness the Bishop will be with me until my parents arrive... right?"

Just now, in order to reassure Eve that she could leave, she said something without Herman's permission.

Hermann was just a bishop, and of course he couldn't disobey the royal orders. He lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

He seemed rather unwilling...

Fengguang, both radiant and embarrassed, tugged at the ribbon on her skirt. "Of course, if His Holiness the Bishop is busy, you don't have to worry about me... I'll just go find my parents."

"Your Highness."

She paused in her steps, "What?"

"The King and Queen are still chatting with the nobles."

“Really…” She wasn’t sure if Herman was telling her that the group of annoying young nobles were still there, or if he was telling her not to interrupt their conversation.

Herman paused for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, please come with me."

“Okay…” Feng Guang followed behind him.

After walking quietly for about two or three minutes, Herman stopped, opened a door, and looked back at Fengguang, saying, "All the doors to the houses are closed in order to pursue the traitors. Your Highness can rest here before the King and Queen."

“Okay… thank you.” Feng Guang did not refuse. In fact, she really didn’t want to see that group of annoying nobles. After entering the room, she turned her gaze to Herman again.

Herman stood at the door, seemingly not intending to go in. "Your Highness, please rest here. I shall take my leave."

“Your Excellency!” Feng Guang hurriedly grabbed his hand. Just then, the light of the magic circle appeared, and when she opened her eyes again, they were in a dimly lit room. She stared stiffly at Herman, who was silently looking at her. She smiled ingratiatingly, “I wanted to say something… please tell my parents which resting room I am in, Your Excellency.”

Hermann would certainly know about such a trivial matter.

What Herman didn't know was that this girl would come over when he activated the teleportation array.

Suddenly, a wild beast roared.

Feng Guang was startled. In the already dim environment, she couldn't see anything clearly, which made it even more terrifying. She trembled in fright and gripped Herman's hand even tighter, but she refrained from screaming in a very ladylike manner.

With a roar from the wild beast, the sound of knocking on the cages rang out. Even worse, Feng Guang felt something cold touch his face.

She finally cried out and jumped up, clinging to Herman. "Your Excellency! I feel I need your protection!"

Herman stiffened for a moment. He considered whether to simply throw the princess to the ground or use teleportation magic to leave her behind...

After thinking for a long time, he finally supported her buttocks with one hand to prevent her from accidentally falling.
