Eve found a fast horse, had Feng Guang sit behind her, and rode directly out of the palace. The soldiers guarding the stables shouted, "It's against etiquette to take the princess on a horse!"
However, Eve either didn't hear it, or she did hear it but pretended not to.
Feng Guang hadn't expected that when she said she needed to get to the Vatican quickly, Eve would actually take her riding a horse. It was Feng Guang's first time riding a horse, and she hugged Eve tightly around the waist. She finally understood why no one wanted to marry Eve; although Eve had a beautiful face, her personality was too masculine...
Before long, the two arrived at the Vatican.
Eve handed the horse to the monk at the door to lead it away. She protected Fengguang as they walked through the crowd to a front-row position, where they could have a clear view of what was happening on stage.
The Holy Maiden has been chosen. She is a girl from an ordinary family, who looks to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She is dressed very simply, and it seems that she was just doing farm work when she was brought here. Even though she is dressed simply, her clean face can be described as very beautiful.
Herman stood beside the girl. The crowd was so large that he seemed oblivious to the spectacle. Unlike the girl's somewhat apprehensive expression, he remained expressionless as always. "The choice for the Holy Maiden has been made. It is this Miss Lilith."
The crowd cheered and chanted Lilith's name.
Faced with this scene, Lilith was a little timid. She had never seen anything like it before, so it was understandable that she was afraid. She slowly moved her feet and hid behind Herman.
Fengguang, standing in the crowd, suddenly felt extremely irritated. She turned and left the crowd, with Eve following behind her, calling out, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"My eyes feel uncomfortable," Feng Guang said without turning his head. "I need to go back and wash them."
Feng Guang squeezed through the crowd, his fists clenched, each step heavy. "Eve, I'm not feeling well right now!"
"Is there something wrong with Your Highness?"
"I'm so angry!" Feng Guang stopped in her tracks and stomped her foot. "I don't know why, that girl named Lilith didn't offend me, but I just feel really uncomfortable looking at her! No... I feel even more uncomfortable looking at Herman!"
Eve wasn't a psychologist; she had only heard that His Highness had been punished by Bishop Herman quite a bit when he was young. She figured His Highness must have seen Bishop Herman to be upset, so she sincerely suggested, "Your Highness needs to clear your head."
“Yes, that’s right, I need to clear my head.” Feng Guang turned around. “Eve, take me for a walk to clear my head.”
Eve thought for a moment, then told Fengguang to mount his horse. Since Fengguang wouldn't specify the location, Eve took him to the beach according to her own idea.
“When I was feeling down, I would come here to listen to the sound of the waves, which would make me feel better.”
Feng Guang helped Eve down from the horse. Looking at the horizon where the sea and sky met, the azure sky and the sea were indeed breathtaking, and her mood gradually improved. "Thank you, Eve."
"It's what I should do."
Accompanied by Eve, Fengguang walked along the coastline for a few minutes. Suddenly, a figure lying on the beach came into her view not far ahead.
