On the History of the Pope's Death

It only took Arnold two or three hours to return to the Holy See from Kleist, but he was the only one when he went, but he brought an extra person with him when he came back.

Lucia looked at the person who appeared with Arnold in surprise, and although he was puzzled, he still greeted politely: "Principal Shakis, hello."

As early as the beginning, Arnold snuggled up to Lucia's side. After Xiaqisi and Lucia greeted each other, he explained to Lucia softly: "Principal Xiaqisi heard about His Majesty the Pope from Jocelyn and wants to visit him." Visit Your Majesty." Of course, Arnold concealed the fact that Alves wanted to follow him but was rejected, and now that the king of Sigal is dying of illness, it's fine if that guy doesn't return to the capital city of Mist as soon as possible, but he still wants him to take him with him. It was delusional for him to come to see his brother.

After Arnold finished speaking, Shakis couldn't hide his worry and asked Lucia: "I don't know how Cassandra is doing now?"

"Although he drank the holy water, the elemental riot in His Majesty's body has not subsided, but has stabilized a lot." Lucia said with a serious expression, noticing the worry and anxiety in Xiaqisi's expression, and proposed: "Principal Xiaqisi , please follow me to visit His Majesty, I think His Majesty will be very happy to see you."

"Then I'll trouble you." Shachez smiled at Lucia and said.

Lucia asked the attendant where Cassandra was, and took Shackes there.On the road, Lucia told Shachez all the things about the demons that the Holy See had investigated recently, and also showed the Holy See's attitude towards these things.When Lucia was narrating, Xia Qisi kept frowning, and he could see the unrest in his heart.

Walking to the study room, through the half-closed window, the three of them could see Cassandra sitting on a chair in front of the desk, holding a roll of parchment in her hand and studying intently, her face was peaceful and calm, if you don’t look at him with black With an angry face and slightly trembling hands, it is estimated that no one knows that he is enduring great pain.

Seeing this scene, Lucia felt sore in her heart. This kind and loving old man really shouldn't have to endure such hardships.

The three of them walked over with heavy steps, and the attendants at the door of the study saluted Lucia one after another when they saw Lucia.Cassandra might have heard the movement outside the door, and his gentle and kind voice came from inside, "It's Lucia, come in, my child."

Hearing that Lucia walked in with Arnold and Shachez, as soon as she entered, Lucia walked up to Cassandra and said with concern: "Your Majesty, you should take a good rest and spend your time reading."

At first, Cassandra didn't notice Shachez and Arnold who were still standing in the distance. He looked at Lucia's handsome face and said with a smile: "It's just reading to pass the time, so why bother?" Putting down the book in his hand, "I know my body, don't worry too much."

Lucia said disapprovingly: "If you really don't want me to worry, you should take more rest."

Cassandra smiled and replied: "Okay, I will definitely pay attention to rest." When she turned her eyes, she saw the two people walking slowly, staring at the still vigorous figure absently, and couldn't help murmuring Said: "Shaches."

When Shachez heard Cassandra's voice, he paused, stopped walking, and stood there staring at Cassandra in a daze.The him in memory and the him in front of him gradually overlapped, and those memories that were thought to have been buried came one after another at this moment, and those emotions that were thought to have dissipated also came to my heart.They have spent the most lush and beautiful years in their lives together, but in the end they can only part ways and leave each other. After all, they can only leave regrets if they miss it.

Cassandra and Xiaqisi looked at each other silently. After waiting for a while, Lucia could only say to Cassandra in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Principal Xiaqisi came to visit you specially after knowing about your affairs."

Lucia's voice brought Cassandra and Shackis out of their memories, and the two looked away in tacit understanding.Cassandra stood up, smiled and said to Shachez, "You're here." His smile was full of regret and relief.

"Well, I'm here." Xiaqisi subconsciously answered, but was stunned after finishing speaking.I still remember that both of them were still students of Kleist at that time. He was the noble archbishop of the Holy See, but he was just a poor boy. The two knew each other and admired each other. They were all too young, too immature, and finally moved away from each other, slowly drifting away...

Thinking of what happened back then, Shackes couldn't help but let out a long sigh.But it's time to tell Cassandra about one thing, "Back then, Joey and I were only married by contract. She didn't want to get married, so she came to me for help under pressure from the family." Shackes stepped forward and looked directly at Looking into Cassandra's eyes, he said, "And I'm just timid."

As a young man, he was trapped in his feelings for Cassandra, but in the end he failed to muster up the courage to face it, but chose to escape.When he finally figured it out, he was told that Cassandra had returned to the Holy See to become the new pope. He didn't want to stain Cassandra's life because of himself, so he finally chose to stay in Kleist , stayed in the place where the two of them remembered, and never left again.

Cassandra heard Shaches's words, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little bit bitter, "I thought..." But the unfinished words were still unable to be uttered.After a while, he just sighed and said softly: "The past is gone, and we are all old."

Xiaqisi looked at Cassandra's wrinkled face that was no longer beautiful, and finally no longer entangled in these past events, but asked the question that he is most concerned about now, "How is your body now? Have you found a way?" Is it cured?"

"During the riot, I drank the holy water and saved my life. Although it is a bit painful now, the magic power in my body is still stable." Cassandra replied calmly.

Lucia, who was standing next to Cassandra, listened to the conversation between the two. At first, she was confused, but when she saw the eyes of the two looking at each other, she understood immediately.

Now that I heard Cassandra's words, I remembered that I hadn't told Cassandra about the seal of the magic pattern, so I hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, Arnold knows a way to protect you from the magic riot. The magic power that seals your body is not only the dark elements," Lucia continued cruelly, seeing Cassandra and Shakis Qiqi looking at him, "It also includes your light elements, and in the future You can't use magic anymore either."

Hearing this, the faces of both of them changed a little. In this continent where martial arts are respected, it is undoubtedly a major blow for mages not to be able to use magic.For a moment, none of the four people in the room made a sound, but in the end it was Cassandra who spoke first: "Elemental riots are a mortal end, and being able to survive is already a blessing in misfortune. You should be happy." He smiled and comforted Lucia and Shaches who looked downcast.

Lucia saw Cassandra's eyes full of wisdom and open-mindedness, and the worries in his heart disappeared instantly. He said with a smile: "I can basically draw the magic pattern completely now. Heaven can help His Majesty seal it."

Cassandra looked at Lucia in a little surprise, "Did you draw the magic pattern for me?" Seeing an older child since he was a child, he knew that Lucia didn't have the slightest talent in painting, and he could even be said to be a magician in painting. , what is painted does not look like anything.

Lucia replied with some embarrassment: "I have practiced many times, and there will be absolutely no problems."

"Well, my brother practiced very hard, and the drawn magic lines are basically usable." Arnold supported his brother, in exchange for a look of approval from Lucia.

Cassandra knew how difficult painting was for Lucia. He worked so hard for himself, and he felt warm in his heart. He smiled and said to Lucia, "Just do your best."

Lucia nodded emphatically, but secretly made up her mind that she must redouble her practice after returning home.Time was running out, and Lucia saw Xiaqisi staring at Cassandra, and pulled Arnold and Cassandra to leave, leaving space for Cassandra and Xiaqisi.

In the study, Cassandra looked at the backs of the two leaving thoughtfully. After a while, she suddenly said to Shachez with emotion: "These two children... I just hope they can be happy."

Xiaqisi walked over, tightly held Cassandra's trembling hand, and said firmly, "They will be happy." After saying that, he looked at Cassandra with deep meaning in his eyes, and then The reader touched his firm and fiery eyes, and turned his head away as if to avoid it.

Soon, it was time for Lucia to help Cassandra seal it.Early in the morning, many people came to the Temple of Light, including two cardinals, five purple bishops, and the Pope's Knights.The members of the Knights guarded the outside of the temple, and the people inside the hall were all high-ranking officials of the Holy See.

side hall

Both Arnold and Sharks stood guard at the door in case of any accident.One of them looked at Cassandra worriedly, and the other stared at Lucia without blinking.

At this time, Cassandra was lying on the long soft couch with her upper body naked, and Lucia standing next to him was concentrating on drawing the magic pattern that she had memorized on his bare back with magic power. .

Now Cassandra's life and death are in Lucia's hands, which makes him extremely nervous, afraid that if he accidentally draws something wrong or the inaccuracy of magic power will cause harm to Cassandra.Although he was nervous, the hand controlling the magic power was still steady, but the cold sweat slowly breaking out of his face showed his mood.

The waiting time always seems long.Looking at Lucia's movements, Xiaqisi wished that he was the one lying on the soft chair, and his palms were already wet with sweat.

Twenty minutes later, Lucia finally finished the last stroke carefully.The moment he stopped, Cassandra's back slowly appeared on the back of Lucia's magic pattern, and every line was shining with pure golden light, giving people a mysterious and sacred feeling. In seconds, the magic pattern slowly seeped into Cassandra's skin and disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief and succeeded.The hard work during this period was finally not in vain. He raised his hand and rubbed his swollen eyebrows. The high concentration and tension for such a long time made his head ache.

"Brother," Arnold walked to Lucia's side, and gently wiped the sweat off Lucia's face with a white handkerchief, "Sit down and rest for a while."

Lucia raised her head slightly to facilitate Arnold's movements, and after he finished wiping off his sweat, he sat relaxed on the chair Arnold moved next to him, "Arnold, Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Arnold stood behind Lucia, gently rubbed his temples with his fingers, and replied softly and magnetically: "Your Majesty will be fine, brother, don't worry."

Enjoying Arnold's meticulous service, Lucia narrowed her eyes comfortably.
