"...my sister...to take care of...?" muttered in a low voice, Hitty clenched her small fists.

……

In the minds of ordinary human beings, the king is the supreme existence of a country and holds the greatest authority.

however--

In many countries in the different world, the status of the pope of some churches is even far higher than that of the monarch.

The former "Ecclesiastical State" was a country where the power of the Pope was supreme.

As the Pope, the Pope can abolish the monarch, and no one must offend him.

However, the pace of human pursuit of power and ambition will never stop.

It is the middle of winter, and the Altebes Mountains, which are covered with snow all the year round, also appear to be colder than usual.

The biting cold wind howled high in the sky, and the feather-like snowflakes fluttered down on the hard ice ground.

In this day when even wild beasts are unwilling to come out to look for food, there are dozens of people on horseback who are struggling to cross this towering mountain range.

The horses of the mixed blood of monsters have grown nostrils, and the horseshoes are covered with white foam and ice, and their ribs are constantly heaving.

Clearly, they've come a long way.

Riding on a tall white steed is a middle-aged man in his 40s. Years of practice have kept his appearance as a handsome young man in his twenties.

It looks like a certain prince is traveling with his entourage.

Although the weather was a bit harsh, he still let the wind and snow hit his face and led the team forward in the snow.

"Your Majesty, this will frostbite your nose and ears."

The entourage on one side dissuaded the man, suggesting to camp and rest first, and continue on the road after the wind and snow stopped.

Sotegro IV, that cold handsome face did not show any extra emotions, he shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"I don't need to say more. With the strength of my sixth step, I won't be frostbitten by ordinary wind and snow.

More importantly than that is to get the understanding and support of His Majesty the Pope.Atlanta could not afford a crusade.

If my personal visit can satisfy the Pope...

Even if I have to stand in the wind and snow in front of the emerald-cold Holy See for a year! "

Thinking of the shameless words in the Pope's reply letter, which still makes him unbelievable.

Even though he was suffering and unwilling in his heart, he still had to urge himself to move forward quickly——

All for this country!

"Yes...Your Majesty." The attendants who accompanied him all showed some unbearable colors, but they didn't say anything.

They continued on until they climbed through the mountains and came to the capital of the neighboring country, the Northern Ecclesiastical State - Emerald Leng.

The king led the people all the way to the gate of the Holy See, and stood barefoot in the snow to repent.

However, the Pope did not want to meet His Majesty the King of Atlanta.

One day, two days, three days passed.

Many priests were moved by the king's sincere repentance, and repeatedly prayed to the Pope for him, and finally the Pope reluctantly summoned him.

When the Pope saw this king who should be no less inferior to himself in terms of status and status, what appeared before his eyes was not a handsome king, but an extremely embarrassed and desolate young man.

The luxurious robes and clothing had already been wet and wrinkled by the wind and snow.

His handsome face is now covered by loose hair, making him look like a homeless man on the street.

The only thing that can make people see his status as a king is probably his innate and undisguised noble temperament.

however--

Pope: "In the name of God, I have deprived you of your kingship, why do you have the face to see me? Pagan king!"

The pope meant that he would not be recognized as a pagan king.

And he will replace Atlanta and re-elect a new king who believes in their church.

This is very domineering and unreasonable.

However, Sotgro IV's dry lips moved, but he did not refute, but silently lowered his head.

"Your Majesty the Great Pope, I have realized my crimes. This time, I am here to personally confess to you and ask for your forgiveness and love for me."

"Pope? Didn't you write to me that I'm no longer Pope, but a demon, an executioner, the humblest creature of the abyss? Didn't you order me to get out of your country and accept the eternal curse? Sort Gro IV, have you forgotten your hatred for me so quickly?"

Saying this, a somewhat disappointed expression appeared on the Pope's face under the silver mask.

He looked indifferently at the kneeling king, who came slowly.

The eyes seemed to be looking not at a king, but at the garbage everywhere on the roadside.

Even the king who had scolded and cursed himself and vowed to fight to the end because he burned an archbishop who believed in the sun god to death a few days ago is now kneeling before him, humbly begging for forgiveness.

However, the Pope did not feel the slightest sense of accomplishment——

He clenched his fists.
