?486 Chapter 486 – Engagement Ceremony [2]
Such trouble...
I couldn't help but let out a sigh. Why did this kind of thing happen when I was in a happy mood?
"For now, let's talk about the details inside."
"Yeah, I agree with that."
Following Juriel's suggestion, we entered the room. Sana excused herself almost immediately to call a nun to prepare tea for us.
I believed that she only let us talk alone without getting disturbed. This room was just like when I visited before; it was covered in white walls and had some nice potted plants.
Juriel sat on the bed and patted the space beside her.
"You may sit here, Arthur." She smiled gently at me. Then, her expression changed into that of realization, "Ah, or do you prefer me to sit on your lap? My apologies, but I can't do that. Fufufu, maybe in the holy city?"
Did she just tease me? She giggled playfully while patting her thighs.
"Do you not want me?" She tilted her head cutely.
For someone older than me and could as well be called virgin milf, this Pope was too mischievous. Where did she learn such a thing?
"It's strange. Holy mother told me that you would like it." She continued, sounding confused.
Holy mother... The birth of this content finds its genesis in Nøv€lß¡n★
"Fufufu, your fiancees are truly lucky."
I didn't need to answer her anymore. We moved to the hall that was used for the morning prayer yesterday. It was big enough to hold more than a thousand people, and those who would attend inside probably were just a few people.
'There are Prince Thomas and Edison, accompanied by Grand Marshal Garland and a few knights. Well, Duke Blacktomb and Naya are also here. Alesia has arrived earlier and is now with Sana. It's not strange, considering both of them are headmistresses. Then there are Oliver and Karin. Those are familiar faces.'
In just 30 minutes, the hall was almost filled with people. Some were nobles whose identities I didn't know. Some faces were familiar because I met them once before. Even the other headmasters and headmistresses from the rest of the academies were also here.
I greeted them one by one, starting from the Princes. They congratulated me innocently and asked me to teach them again soon. They told me they were almost reaching Lv 3 in <Swordsmanship> and that we could do the real training.
I promised that I would do that when I had time again. For now, I left them with some tips and let the Grand Marshal supervise them.
Garland also congratulated me in a knightly way. He also apologized that Queen Eve was unable to attend due to her business.
I told him I didn't mind and greeted the other guests. Duke Blacktomb secretly gave me an invitation letter sent by Queen Ariel and apologized that it must be done this way.
At that moment, I told him that there might be a terrorist spy among his entourage and told him to be careful. Well, it was just an information exchange.
Naya told me she was a little jealous and wanted the same kind of engagement. I didn't really know what this girl was thinking so I answered her with a smile, saying that you would have one soon.
The rest of the greeting was just formality, thanking their attendance in this ceremony. Pope Juriel just stayed on the aisle all the time. I could've just done that, but I wanted to show them my appreciation.
And then, the time arrived, and she called me on the aisle to wait for my fiancees to arrive. The guests sat down on the long benches, focusing on me.
"Are you ready, Sir Arthur?" Pope Juriel asked me with a sweet voice.
"Yes." I answered, "Anytime."
Nodding, Pope Juriel looked at the large door at the end of the hallway. She muttered something to Rania and Sophia, who stood right before it.
They understood their task and saluted. Then, slowly, they opened the door to reveal the girls I was waiting for.
At that moment, the world seemed to stop as my eyes widened in pleasant surprise.
