The next day.
The Duke of Red Pomegranate is having breakfast with the Duke and Duchess of Cold Emerald.
Li Aili had just scooped a spoonful of Nanjun steamed egg custard into her mouth.
At the dinner table, Brandon Red Pomegranate kept talking nonstop. So much so that Ellie's ears were constantly ringing.
It's true... you can't judge a book by its cover. He's such a handsome guy, it's a pity he has a mouth.
With a loud bang, the restaurant door was pushed open forcefully.
Li Aili was so frightened that she swallowed the steamed egg custard in her mouth in one gulp. Luckily, it was just steamed egg custard.
A voluptuous, beautiful woman burst in, lifting her skirt.
The Duke of Southshire exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! My dear... Bell! What brings you here?"
Then, the beautiful lady raised her hand high, and a blood-red bubble appeared above her head:
【My name is Bella! You little bastard!!!】
Li Aili: "..."
A resounding slap landed squarely on the face of Duke Brandon of Pomegranates, without any surprise.
"Heh! Bah." The beautiful young woman sneered, spat at the Duke of Nanjun, and turned to leave.
Li Aili: "..."
Brandon covered his face sadly. "Oh, my dear Arthur, I have to hide, or I'll be in big trouble."
Li Aili: "..."
I've heard of love-themed number plates, but how come you have slap-the-face number plates here?
“Let’s go find a place to have another drink,” Brandon said to Arthur.
Li Aili looked out the window in shock.
The sun had just risen, and he'd only been at work for less than an hour, and he was already drinking?!
What horrified her even more was that Arthur actually agreed again, which was unprecedented for him!
What the heck is this?!
After breakfast, Li Aili strolled in the front garden, feeling that the two people were acting suspiciously.
"Hurry up! Hurry up, everyone!" There was a commotion ahead.
Then, Mr. Mark, the housekeeper, hurriedly led out the Neuschwanstein Castle Knights guard of honor who had received them the day before.
"Oh? Another distinguished guest has arrived?" Li Aili asked the maid following behind her curiously.
“It is His Excellency Michael, a cardinal of the Holy Light Church and a saint of the Holy Temple of Saint Seir,” the maid replied in a low voice, making a 'seal of light' gesture to her chest.
“Saint Seil’s Sanctuary?” This was the first time Li Aili had heard the word 'sanctuary'.
The maid's face stiffened, and then an unstable bubble with trembling edges appeared above her head:
[Oh no! I forgot about the Duke of Cold Emerald expelling Cardinal Saint Paul! Oh no! What should I do? What should I do! Will this anger the Duchess of Cold Emerald?! Where is the God of Light?! Will the Duke of Cold Emerald send troops to attack Southshire because of this?!]
Li Aili: "..."
Expelling a cardinal?
who?
Did Arthur Cold Jade dry it?
Oh, that's not surprising.
In a church today, there are still three traitors who have drunk the 'forgetfulness potion' and are deeply grateful to Duke Cold Emerald for 'saving their lives'.
No wonder the Holy Light Temple treated the knights of the Cold Jade Knights so badly... so this is the real "origin".
“As you know, the Duke once expelled a cardinal…” Li Aili asked slowly and tentatively.
The maid nodded, and another trembling bubble appeared on her head:
[It is said that because Saint Paul stepped into a banquet with his left foot first, the Duke of Cold Jade expelled all papal personnel from his territory...]
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili said slowly, "I often trouble the 'God of Light' with things."
After saying that, she made a 'seal of light' on her chest with perfect fluidity.
“But you know, it’s very difficult for me to see living Christian missionaries in the Duchy. So, I really want to see Saint Michael, but I have to do it secretly, without being discovered. You understand, I have to be considerate of my husband’s feelings.”
The maid, clearly a devout believer, immediately conjured up a dramatic scene and led the Duchess behind a clump of lush bushes in the front yard.
The maid whispered, "I'm sorry to trouble you here, you know, because of Saint Paul..."
The cardinals were not keen to see anyone from the Duchy of Cold Emerald...
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili peeked out slightly and could just see the knights in formation.
Before long, the Papacy's convoy arrived.
Upon closer inspection, wow, what a sight!
The one at the very front is the 'Knight of Light'.
The uniform pure white armor was so dazzling in the sunlight that Li Aili almost got blinded.
The Knight of Light is a branch of the Knight class. The specific difference is that the Knight of Light can unleash holy light when fighting.
For races that are not afraid of the light attribute, holy light is like giving themselves a bright 'light effect'.
But fighting against the dark races who fear the Holy Light is like having a cheat code.
Li Aili didn't know much about the Holy Light, but she now preferred the black armor because it wasn't too bright during the day.
Behind the Knights of Light, who held high the temple banner, was a pristine white carriage pulled by four unicorns.
The emblem of the Holy See's Radiant Sun was painted in gold powder on the car door.
This seemingly indestructible internal affairs officer, like a 'big nut,' wore a perfectly measured smile. And above his head, a massive, blood-red bubble remained.
[You piece of shit!!! Brandon Red Pomegranate!!! You're a fucking piece of shit!!!]
To be honest, Li Aili felt comforted.
This proves that the Duke of Red Pomegranate had no prejudice against the people of the Duchy of Cold Emerald, which is why he staged that 'grand show' yesterday.
