I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

"Why are not you talking?"

Beth hoped Bennett would say something.

Bennett smiled. He didn't intend to express his thoughts to avoid a conflict between the two.

"Do you think I'm not good enough?"

Beth continued.

Bennett waved his hand, and a letter passed through the crack in the door. It was an invitation from the king. It had been there for a while, but Bennett had ignored it.

When Beth saw the letter flying into Bennett's hands, she knew that he didn't want to answer this question, and she felt a little depressed, but she didn't ask any more questions.

"It's the king's awarding notice."

Bennett opened the letter, which contained the king's hypocritical condolences and a final notice.

"Yes, in a week."

Beth frowned slightly. Aimee once told the two of them that if someone wanted to murder her, they would definitely choose the awarding ceremony as the time.

This time is very special because the awarding ceremony cannot be interrupted.

If a noble or a noble representative leaves the ceremony without reason, then the family will become the laughing stock of the entire human empire.

"What are you going to do?"

Bennett frowned. He was also thinking of a solution.

With a thought, the bedroom door opened and another scroll flew in. Bennett handed the letter to Beth and took the scroll.

After removing the wax seal from the scroll and placing the rope over Beth's head, Bennett opened the scroll.

The above is the process arrangement of the awarding ceremony.

There are detailed arrangements for each time period.

Starting at eight o'clock, the army of the Grand Duke of the North entered first.

At nine o'clock, the Pope will review the troops.

At ten o'clock, the Grand Duke of the North will be rewarded.

At eleven o'clock, it commended the Pope and declared the Church to be the state religion on a par with the two gods.

At twelve o'clock, Beth was rewarded.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, it was the reward for Razlan.

Bennett needs to wear clothes with the Razlan emblem and tour the city, share food with the people around him, and accept gifts from the people.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Bennett delivered a speech of allegiance in Triumph Square, Razlan, guaranteed by a grand duke.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the king canonized Bennett.

After that, the remaining nobles were enthroned.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the enthronement ceremony was completed, and Bennett hosted a banquet for the nobles in his own castle.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Bennett felt a headache.

"What's wrong? Is it troublesome?"

Beth flipped through the letter in her hand again and again, but there was no invitation for her on it.

"Where's my invitation? Why is there only yours?"

“Shouldn’t yours be sent to the church?”

Beth frowned. Her relationship with the church's top brass was average, so the king should have known about it. How could he be so tactless?

Her pupils began to glow with golden light, and Beth looked at her future, trying to find some clues.

Among the infinite possible futures, the Pope made a choice and rejected Beth's invitation.

In this future, the Pope will probably make the same choice.

Beth frowned and said:

"Bennett, my invitation has been blocked by the Pope. Please come with me later."

Oh?

Bennett glanced at Beth and saw a hair on her head sticking up, which Bennett pushed back.

Wow, Ai Mei guessed so accurately? Is the other party going to turn hostile at this time?

However, Bennett thought about the Pope's behavior and felt that it was very consistent with the Pope's character.

He must be thinking of killing Beth now so that he can gain more benefits at the triumphal ceremony which has not yet been determined, and it would be best if he could eat all of Beth's share.

Greedy and stupid, without Beth, what is a church in front of the giant wolf and the rose?

"Okay, but why don't you deal with that idiot?"

Bennett was a little confused, he and Aimee were husband and wife, which made Bennett feel at ease with Razlan.

But Beth has nothing to do with the Pope. Logically, Beth could kill the Pope and become the leader of the church.

Beth rolled up her hair by her ears in boredom and said:

"Why should I kill him? He's doing a good job. Even though he's a little stupid, he's greedy enough.

Anyway, in the end, all he ate was mine. If I were to bite someone, I might not be as good as him."

Beth turned over, propped up her chin with her hands, and said with a smile in her eyes:

"What? You don't recognize me even before you pull up your pants? If you don't want to go, just say so. I don't care."

Bennett pinched Beth's nose and saw that she was pouting and frowning. She was over a hundred years old, but still looked like this.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Bennett sighed and continued:

“The pope is a fool and his actions are too obvious.

But it’s not just the Pope who wants you dead, Beth.”

Bennett released his hand that was pinching Beth's nose and scratched the bridge of her nose:

“King, Grand Duke Giant Wolf, Grand Duke Rose, you can’t even see through an Aimee who has fallen to the bottom of the valley, how can you get the upper hand in the hands of these three evil spirits?

Don’t underestimate the people of the world.”

Beth just looked at Bennett with a grin on her face. She was actually quite touched.

So I wanted to interrupt and make a little joke, but I felt it was not a good idea.

She thought about it, what would Aimee, Sierra, or Denise do in the current situation?

I can't figure it out. Aimee and Denise are cultured people. Sierra seems uncultured, but that's because Sierra doesn't need it. Only she is truly uncultured.

Forget it, sensory sharing is more practical.

Bennett was talking halfway when he suddenly widened his eyes and said to Beth tremblingly:

"Be...Beth...you are repaying kindness with enmity."

"Tsk, I think you are in pain and happy."

……

It was almost evening when Bennett and Beth got out of bed.

The reason for getting up was very simple: they wanted to get a free meal from the Pope.

Beth put away the armor given by Bennett, picked out a set of nun clothes from Bennett's scroll, hid a dagger in her skirt, and then left the room.

Bennett casually changed into a wizard robe and followed Beth.

"Do you know what means they will use?"

Bennett asked Beth.

"Poisoning, nothing else works on me," Beth said.

"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" Bennett asked again. He wanted to get more information, which was the wizard's habit.

Beth was a little impatient and said:

"I don't know. No matter what kind of poison it is, I can hold out for a while. It should be long enough for you to save me."

Bennett shook his head helplessly.

Beth was right.

He now probably knows Beth's body better than Beth herself. If there is any toxic substance that damages Beth's body, he will be able to detect it instantly.

The toxins in this world come either from alchemy or physics.

These two things are the magician's specialties.

As for alchemy, Bennett was very familiar with it.

The two walked and chatted all the way to the Pope's residence.

……

"Are you sure this stuff will work on Beth?"

The Pope looked at the mage in front of him. The mage was controlling the rune base in his hand, with a black light in his eyes, and said:

"Your Majesty, this poison is purified from the brain of the fallen God, and synthesized into the most poisonous amethyst poison in the world. Anyone who comes into contact with it will die.

I don't know what you mean by saint, but as long as she is promoted from a knight, she will die."

The Pope picked up the test tube, looked at the black liquid inside, and a gloomy smile appeared on his face.
