At this time, Louis took two bites of the apple candy, and then a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

It doesn’t taste like home.

But, it's still delicious.

Then he held out the candy apple to Beatrice:

"Want to eat?"

Beatrice glanced at the candy with a chip on it.

She doesn't really like desserts.

But, this was the candy apple he fed himself.

Just for this reason, she had no reason to refuse.

Then she took a bite of the candy apple, and bits of sugar coating stuck to the corners of her mouth. Louis reached out to wipe them off for her, then put his finger between his lips to clean off the candy.

Beatrice lowered her head subconsciously.

She felt the gazes of the people around her. Even though she was used to seeing other people's gazes, she still...

It can be a little bit shy.

Louis smiled and said, "It's quite delicious."

"I want you to say more!" she said fiercely.

With more outsiders watching her, her face, which should have been thicker than a city wall, seemed to be broken at the slightest provocation, and she could not go on any longer.

Louis looked at the candy apple with a chip on it, but didn't mind. He took it back and took another bite from the spot where she had bitten it.

Today, due to the needs of the banquet, Beatrice did not wear the knight's uniform that he often saw as usual.

Instead, she wore a simple dress that was elegant, conservative yet beautiful.

She took off her knightly uniform and her heroic appearance, revealing a rare feminine tenderness.

The long skirt was almost above the knees, and he could see the straight and slender calves under the skirt, which suddenly made him want to play with them.

The single ponytail behind her swayed slightly as she shook her head slowly.

My fiancée is the most beautiful in the world!

Louis couldn't help but say in his heart.

What he didn't know was that Beatrice was also looking at him.

At this moment, our eldest princess felt a little frustrated.

Especially when she saw her fiancé gently licking her slender and clean fingertips, and then slowly continued to eat the apple candy on the gap she had bitten...

What the hell, she is obviously the girl, but why does she feel that her fiancé is better than her in terms of that kind of implicit sexual aura?

Anyway, it made her blush.

Who says girls can’t be lustful?

Anyway, she was extremely happy watching this scene.

Ah, he looked over here.

Beatrice was so absorbed in watching that she didn't notice that Louis was looking at her.

At this time, Louis looked at Beatrice who seemed to be in a daze, walked over and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, I don't mind having your saliva on it. Of course, it would be better if I could taste it directly."

Although Beatrice knew that Louis had a tendency to become bad during this period, she never expected him to be so bold.

Even a little shameless! This was incompatible with the education she had received, but why did her cheeks feel even hotter?

"Let's go. I think the light over there is just right. It's a good place to digest our food."

Beatrice did not refuse, but just let him pull her hand forward.

When passing a corner, Beatrice suddenly paused for a moment.

She saw the cold wind of late winter blow up the hood of a cloaked man nearby, revealing a very familiar face.

“Wait…”

Beatrice spoke subconsciously.

Louis paused and said, "What's wrong?"

"I think I saw Olivia."

"Huh? Where is he? Is this guy planning to ruin our date?"

Louis also stopped.

Based on his understanding of Little Swan, this girl is really capable of doing such a thing.

“…”

Beatrice was both angry and amused.

I didn’t expect that Little Swan’s image in Louis’ eyes had reached this point.

It seems that I have to give this little swan a good lesson when I get back as he is becoming more and more naughty.

Little Swan: ???

She turned and looked in the direction of the cloaked man.

Not seeing the back that looked like a little swan, he subconsciously frowned.

"Beatrice, that's what you're talking about?"

Louis pointed to a corner where someone wearing a cloak was walking among the crowd.

She hesitated for a moment: "It should be."

"But that wasn't Olivia. When he walked past us just now, I took a quick look and it was a man."

"Then I must have seen it wrong."

As they walked, they soon saw the main road covered with golden leaves beneath the orange-yellow magic lights.

There was also a pastor on the main road holding a Bible and giving a speech.

"Our sincere faith will give us the courage and strength to fight the enemy to death. Even if we die, we must dispel evil and promote the glory of our God..."

The priest looked pale-haired, but he exuded a powerful aura.

Although he looked like a man in his sixties or seventies, his firm muscles could be vaguely seen under the priest's uniform.

Beatrice frowned.

"Go the other way."

Louis didn't understand, but he still listened to his first wife.

Beatrice said change direction, so let's change direction.

But before the two of them left, they heard a gentle voice.

"Your Highness Beatrice, Your Highness Louis, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Beatrice carefully pulled Louis to her side and said with a frown:

"Your Holiness Callio, it is not the Pope's duty to disturb the young people's enjoyment at night."

The priest chuckled and said, "Indeed, I was too rash. But I must remind you, Your Highness Beatrice, that you, Enser, have gone a little too far."

Beatrice glanced at him and said:

"If you think this is too much, go talk to Father."

The pastor touched his head and laughed:

"Why do you think I haven't talked to the Emperor? I originally wanted to take him away directly, but I'm not as skilled as him..."

"Forget it. I won't embarrass you two youngsters. If people see us, they will think that we, the Glory Church, can't afford to play tricks."

But his eyes were still directed at Louis, but his slightly narrowed eyes made it difficult to see his gaze clearly.

He said in a deep voice, "The last time I went to Enser to attend your engagement ball with Her Highness Beatrice, I was unable to see you for various reasons."

“I didn’t expect that I would have the honor of meeting His Royal Highness Louis when I came here to host the Tunis Glory Celebration.”

Louis could vaguely sense a sense of danger from him.

It was okay because we were far away before, and I didn’t have a clear feeling about it.

But now that the distance was closer, he could feel the surging power within this person's body, just like an active volcano that was ready to erupt at any time.

No, it's more than that! The problem is that this power is well restrained in his body, and there seems to be a familiar breath in the trance.

His eyes widened slightly.

"The power of mortal sin?"

Suddenly, the pastor looked at Louis, smiled gently and said:

"Yes, you can call me Kallio Monan. Come visit our Glory Church often when you have time."

Louis finally reacted, his mouth twitching slightly as he said:

"You are guilty of a great crime."

Cario laughed and said, "It's still the Great Sin of Gluttony! To some extent, we are still colleagues, but whether we will become enemies depends on your attitude."

The smile on his face gradually faded:

"Louis Charles Julius, great sin of greed, pray that you may not be consumed by it."

When he said this, there was no hesitation in his eyes, as if he was asking someone "Have you eaten?"

Louis was sure that this man was not joking.

He is really determined to take action.

The corner of Louis' mouth twitched slightly.

He suddenly remembered the conversation just now.

Beatrice addressed him as "His Majesty Callio" and "Pope", which indicated that he should be the current Pope of the Church of the God of Glory and Justice.

Thinking back to what Cario had just said, "Why do you think I haven't talked to the Emperor?"

Hiss! This is the first person Louis has ever seen who survived a "talk" with the Emperor.

only……

"It's okay for us in Enser, after all, we have to explore ways to deal with the mortal sin. Your mortal sin has even become the Pope. Isn't it unreasonable?"

I have to say, Louis is really brave.

It is rare for an ordinary person not to show any fear after meeting the Pope.

But Louis is different.

Not only did this guy not show any fear, he actually went into social phobia mode.

However, the gluttonous pope did not show any ugly expression. Instead, he said with interest: "It is because I am gluttonous that I want to join the Church of Glory!"

"If my faith remains strong, my power will not do evil."

"If I have strayed from the right path, my God will punish me personally."

"No matter which path you take, joining the church is a great choice for the Seven Deadly Sins who don't want to fall into the abyss."

You’re not even to mention.

After hearing what the Pope said, Louis actually began to think:

"It makes sense. This will help control the power of sin. Even if you are in the Glorious Church, don't you worry about being stabbed all over by your overly devout faith?"

——Louis remembered that when Grace touched him, even through the armor, his skin felt hot.

"It's okay. You'll get used to the pain. Forget it. I won't bother you anymore."

Kallio chuckled, waved his priest robe gently, returned to the crowd, and continued to spread the name of the God of Glory and Justice.

Just at this moment, Louis could feel that the Pope's whole body seemed to be overwhelmed and began to twitch slowly.

It felt like someone was knocking out your bones and sucking out your marrow, the pain was unbearable.

There was also a hint of hesitation in Louis' eyes.

He didn't believe that when the Pope of the Church of the God of Glory went to negotiate with the Emperor, he was going there for a good talk.

I'm afraid they had a secret exchange of ideas at the end.

Now it seems that the Emperor has won.

Of course, not being able to defeat the Emperor doesn’t mean you can’t defeat them.

Fortunately, at least for now, he has no plans to take action on the spot.

It's a little bit outrageous that a mortal sinner could become the pope .

At this time, Louis realized that Xi and William had appeared near the main road without him knowing when.

They looked at the Pope, who had his back to them, with a wary look in their eyes filled with pure murderous intent.

Louis shook his head, knowing that there would be no safety issues now.

So he said:

"What an old man who loves to ruin the atmosphere. Come on, let's finish the last leg together."

Beatrice nodded, and the two of them strolled along the main street covered with golden leaves.

…

And the other side.

Pope Cario, who had his back to Louis and the others, had a gleam of uncontrollable greed in his eyes.

The [Sin: Gluttony] in his body seemed to be going berserk and roared at him again and again.

"Eat him!"

"Eat him!"

"By eating him, you will be able to make up for your deficiencies, and you will be able to defeat the Emperor!"

"Hurry up, if it's you, it should be over soon!"

However, the response to [Sin: Gluttony] was his sneer:

"If I go down this path, what's the difference between that and a serious sin."

"Go away, you incompetent fellow, I am sure that my sins are washed away by the blood of God."

"There is only the priest of the God of Glory, Kallio Monan, here, and no Big Sin, Gluttony."

As he spoke, a strong aura of faith rose from his body, and the power of the great sin of gluttony was suppressed by him.

Cario looked towards a corner of a tree nearby.

There, an adventurer in tattered clothes was holding a wine flask and sipping wine: "Knight of the Blazing Sun, you don't want to stand on his side, do you?!"

If Louis were still here now, he would instantly recognize the identity of the adventurer lounging on the tree in tattered armor.

It was Aaron Irving, an adventurer with whom he had once dined at Meyer's.

He burped, tilted his eyes slightly downward and said:

"I am not on his side, I am on the side of justice and fairness."

"Brother Caesar will not be tempted by the seven deadly sins so easily. Before he commits a big mistake, I don't think he needs to be eliminated."

He shook the wine jug towards Callio below: "Are you right? Your Holiness!"

Kallio said calmly, "It was precisely because I saw his actions that I chose not to take action."

"But if one day he chooses to fall into darkness, I will take the lead in raising the battle flag, and the iron hoof of glory will crush any enemy who dares to stop me, until the evil sin is completely driven out!"

There was an unwavering conviction in his voice.

Aaron, known as the Blazing Sun Knight, smiled and said:

"Coincidentally, I thought so too."

Cario laughed and said, "Should I say 'Praise the sun' at this time?"

…

at the same time.

On the other side, Louis looked at Beatrice.

"What was that Pope talking about earlier?"

Beatrice said nothing.

Louis snorted softly, and suddenly reached out and pinned Beatrice against a nearby tree trunk: "You can't run away, Beatrice."

He lowered his head, and as he had said just now, he would taste Beatrice.

The two of them maintained this posture and kissed for a long time.

When the two separated, Beatrice's face was already flushed.

Louis whispered, "Thank you."

Beatrice snorted and said:

"This is my way of saying thank you."

She paused for a moment and then said:

"Will you blame me for being a little nosy?"

Louis shook his head and said, "You didn't let him see me at the time, mainly to prevent him from hurting me."

Beatrice nodded. "The Church of the God of Glory and Justice is not an extreme church that believes in either good or evil. Pope Kario also has a very good reputation."

"It was no secret among many high-ranking officials in the country that he was a major criminal."

"It should be said that it is precisely because of his identity that he has more firmly demonstrated his faith in the God of Glory."

"But I can't take the risk. What if something happens to you when you face him? So..."

What greeted her was Louis' arms.

Louis hugged the girl tightly and said, "I am really happy."

When he made this move, he did not care at all about the two guards who had quietly arrived at the scene to protect him.

How could anyone accuse her of meddling in other people's business?

After all... this was proof that Beatrice loved him.
