"May the God of Light bless you, dear Prince."
Si Tu said this kind of prayer several times a day.
Even to His Royal Highness, this congratulatory speech does not sound very sincere.
"It seems that Dashiell left you with a lot of mess."
The man looked at the tall and merciful statue of light, and in his teasing tone, Si Tu could hear a bit of confusion.
"I will temporarily take over the position of the high priest of the temple, but he doesn't know which area's temple he went to sneak away."
Every year, the high priest of Wangcheng Temple will go to various districts to preach, sowing seeds of hope to the people.
Bring the gospel to all parts of the northern border.
But it was said that they were going to preach, but everyone had already left the royal city. Could it be possible that there were still people watching what the envoys did every day
"If it's part of my deal with him."
Hearing her whimper, Eric chuckled.
"I guessed it a long time ago."
The High Priest Dashiel, who seems to have no desires and desires, doesn't what he desires most in his heart is freedom
He was selected as the messenger of the gods since he was a child, but his happy childhood was accompanied only by the ice-cold idol.
As he said, life serving God is boring.
After finally finding someone who can take over his position, how could Dashiel easily let him go
But seeing the man in front of him still frowning, Si Tu said in a flat voice,
"Keynes has been executed, and the status of the heir to His Royal Highness is beyond doubt."
So, what is there for you to be dissatisfied and need to pray to God
"The scenery is boundless, young and promising, I have received the most beautiful praise in the world, but I have also fallen into boundless darkness."
If there are really gods in this world, can you show me a clear path
Eric's voice suddenly flashed in his mind, and Si Tu closed his eyes.
She seemed to be able to hear his heart...
"Light and darkness are opposed to each other, His Royal Highness only needs to keep his original intention."
Get something, always have to give something.
This is fair.
"In recent days, His Majesty's health has become worse and worse. It is better for His Royal Highness to return to the palace earlier to serve him."
It can not only gain a good reputation, but also prevent people with bad intentions from making trouble.
Situ also didn't understand why Eric came to the temple during this time period
"With the leader of the party serving by my side, I don't need me by my father's side."
Eric closed his eyes, putting all his emotions into his olive-colored pupils.
Combining the information obtained before, Si Tuhuang suddenly understood the cause and effect.
"I don't know if the previous deal with His Royal Highness still counts?"
"nature."
Eric lowered his eyes.
She helped him eradicate Cairns in the name of temple sacrifice, and in return, he had to balance the three forces in the royal city.
"The royal family, the Knights Templar, and the Quebec, only if these three forces exist, can the balance not be broken."
Only the royal city and the northern border can be peaceful forever...
"You are worried that Andre's identity will bring you a devastating blow, aren't you?"
Si Tu's words hit Eric's biggest worry.
"You know his background."
Eric raised his eyebrows, as if he wasn't surprised that she knew about it.
In fact, as long as a person with a heart observes carefully, he can find——
There is a three-point similarity between his eyebrows and Eric's.
They are half brothers, one in the light and one in the dark.
But they are all serving the royal family and loyal to the northern border.
"It was just speculation before, but now it is certainty."
The king was seriously ill, but it was Andrew, the leader of the Quebec Party, who was summoned.
And at the state banquet, Andre's award ceremony was very beautiful.
Anyone with a discerning eye can probably see the eccentricity, let alone the little prince who is as careful as a hair
"So are you going to choose to help me or Andre?"
Although he knew her choice a long time ago, Eric just likes to make things difficult for himself.
It seems that it is a pleasure to hurt the heart that is riddled with holes!
"You don't need my help, and Andre won't be a stumbling block to your succession."
She is too clear about his nature.
It is precisely because of mutual understanding and trust that Si Tu can make Eric feel at ease.
"Are you so sure?"
Eric smiled, as if a little interested.
"Then let us wait and see."
Si Tu followed him and smiled.
All the grievances and grievances in the past, all disappeared in this smile.
"As for the confidants trained by His Royal Highness, they should be used to maintain the law and order of the royal city when you succeed to the throne."
"It seems that you still trust him as always."
Eric laughed uncontrollably, but his eyes were full of pain.
Maybe it is really as she said, what you gain, you have to lose something.
He had planned for the throne for ten years, but the victory was just around the corner, but he couldn't be happy at all.
"Andre never disappoints me."
Si Tu's tone was firm, his eyes sparkled brighter than the jewels on the scepter.
"I'll be here in advance to congratulate His Royal Highness on his succession."
She may not be able to make it to Eric's succession ceremony, but she still has one thing to do.
"By the way, I want to meet Hamir Reyes, please make an appointment with him, Your Highness."
"as you wish."
Eric, who came out of the temple, let out a long breath.
Laughing like self-deprecating, the dessert that was specially brought was still not sent out after all.
The life in the temple is indeed boring, but Si Tu can always make it more cheerful.
Although the clergy usually put on a straight face, as long as Si Tu came up with something interesting.
They will also be very face-saving.
After all, it's really boring here.
"My lord, your visitor Mr. Reyes has arrived outside the temple."
It seems that the little prince is quite fast in doing things.
"Got it, take him to the living room first."
After Si Tu finished speaking, he got up and went to the main hall, and dipped his palms in the holy water.
The Lord of the Rings radiated a dazzling red light, and seemed to be whining...
But Si Tu took it off his index finger without hesitation.
This ring can't play any practical role in her hands, it's better to leave it to those who need him.
In the living room, Hamill took a sip of the black tea from the temple.
I don't know if it was due to psychological factors, but he always felt that this tea was better than the one he drank at the state banquet.
"Master Sacrifice, be well, may the God of Light be with you."
After a standard courtesy to her, Hamill maintained a gentleman's demeanor.
"I hear this kind of words no less than a hundred times every day."
Every time she meets a clergyman, she will be greeted with this sentence.
Over time, she almost had a stress reaction.
No wonder Dashiell would rather make a deal with Eric than escape from this solemn and boring place.
