Herman remained unmoved. “Her Highness is still young and has no interest in choosing a personal attendant. If Her Highness does not wish to do so, Father, you can postpone this matter for a while longer.”
“But Your Grace, Princess will soon be six years old. According to custom, it is time for her to choose her attendants.” Father Phil was a man who did not like to break the rules. For him, his rise from a lowly monk to a priest was the result of his consistent adherence to the rules and his diligent work.
Hermann's expression was indifferent, and even his voice was flat and emotionless, but he seemed to be seriously considering Father Phil's question. "In the end, the attendants are only there to protect the safety of the royal family. Why doesn't Father Phil go and ask Sister Love to do some divination to see if Her Highness the Princess will be in any crisis in the near future?"
"Your Excellency means..."
“If there is any crisis, the selection of attendants will be of utmost urgency. If everything goes smoothly, then the selection of attendants can be postponed.” Herman said calmly, “Children always don’t understand the importance of things. The priest might as well go and talk to the king and queen.”
Father Phil thought for a moment and then said, "His Excellency the Bishop is right. Of course, the King and Queen should take care of Her Highness's affairs."
Having successfully diverted attention, Father Phil bowed to Herman again and left with his men.
Once those people had disappeared from sight, Hermann said coldly, "Come out."
Feng Guang lifted Herman's clothes and slowly walked out.
Herman glanced at her, but because she was looking down, he could only see the top of her head. "This kind of thing can't happen again."
“Oh…” Feng Guang obediently fiddled with her fingers. “Your Excellency, thank you for helping me just now.”
“I’m not trying to help you, but I don’t want Father Phil to get involved with me because of Her Highness’s affairs, and to waste my time.” Herman took a step back. “Goodbye, Your Highness.”
Having performed the proper courtesies, Hermann truly turned and left this time.
Feng Guang curled her lip, thinking to herself that this Herman was really arrogant. She snorted and turned to leave.
Perhaps because the divination results were quite good, for quite some time, Father Phil did not urge the princess to choose a close attendant. She was enjoying herself and even found her literature teacher much more agreeable.
However, on September 7th, Feng Guang was once again pulled into her mother's busy schedule. It was her birthday, her sixth birthday.
Royal birthdays are always celebrated in a lively and grand manner, especially since Feng Guang is the youngest member of the royal family. Every year, her birthday banquet is held in an exceptionally grand manner.
Needless to say, the princes and ministers who came to the banquet were also present. What Feng Guang didn't expect was that the person who came to give her blessings this time was not the Pope, but that scoundrel Herman.
The person she least wants to see right now is Herman.
Upon seeing Herman, the King and Queen naturally greeted him warmly. "It's a pleasant surprise that Herman has come. But... where is the Pope?"
"The Pope is unwell," Hermann said emotionlessly after bowing. "Therefore, it is I who have come to pray for Her Highness the Princess this year."
