Chapter 869: Chapter 724: Coronation

The Imperial Army indeed took this opportunity to probe the inner workings of the Holy Court.

The villa where the Holy Court was stationed did not come from the arrangements of the Royal Capital but already belong to the territory of the Holy See of Light. It was situated at the edge of the Royal Capital, occupying a vast piece of land, primarily for winemaking and other industries.

Amidst the rebellion instigated by Prince Lier, the Imperial Army was hunting the rebels everywhere.

In the aftermath, some used the search as a pretext to probe the villa, some disguised themselves as rebels and infiltrated into it, and some from the Imperial Army openly declared the need to conduct a search.

Beyond the villa being disturbed,

people from the Royal Capital’s cathedral also arrived.

The cathedral did not restrict these people from conducting their search, but when they tried to approach the temple within the cathedral, Catalina stood up.

The reputation of the Heresy Tribunal,

directly obstructed everyone.

Nobody even tried to argue.

Because even though the Heresy Tribunal was not often recorded in history, every appearance they made was inevitably accompanied by bloodshed and slaughter.

Moreover, in these events, there were quite a few rumors involving the faint connivance of the Varo Royal Family, making the existence of the Heresy Tribunal even more mysterious and dangerous.

They are not crazed.

They just silently lurk in the shadows, like beasts waiting for an opportunity to pounce.

If they do not strike, all is still; but once they do, it’s a decisive kill.

The vengeful heart of the Holy See of Light, especially that of the Heresy Tribunal, is strong and terrifying.

Besides the Holy See of Light, the Imperial Army seemed to also be probing the intentions of other forces, forcefully invading the territories of numerous noble houses.

All through the night.

The Royal Capital was abnormally bustling.

Only when dawn approached did things gradually settle.

…

…

Xu Shuo went another night without sleep.

He carefully thought it over.

It seems that since arriving in this script, he was either always on the move or pulling all-nighters, the workload was even more dreadful than when he used to work overtime.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that,

as dawn broke, news finally arrived from the Order of the Sun Knights.

They had reached the outskirts of the Royal Capital.

However, due to not resting for several days and nights, and being trapped in a valley expending a great deal of energy, the knights were somewhat listless.

Thus, they decided to temporarily stay in a forest outside the Royal Capital to recuperate for a period.

That could be considered neither good nor bad news.

After reading the message, Xu Shuo stood up from the Holy Seat, tilted his head to loosen his stiff shoulders from lying on his side for too long, and then headed straight out.

Catalina, who had been dozing off on the steps, sensed his movement and sleepily opened her eyes.

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

“Off to the new king’s coronation.”

“Oh…”

Catalina responded and was about to continue her slumber.

But just as she closed her eyes, she realized something and jolted awake.

The coronation for the new king?

Was it time already?

When Catalina came to her senses, she saw that the young man’s figure had almost vanished, so she quickly got up, patted her cheeks, hiked up her skirt, and hurriedly followed.

But by the time she reached the upper level of the temple and looked out the window, it still seemed very early outside.

Catalina pondered drowsily.

Isn’t the coronation ceremony at noon?

At this time, several devotees had already entered the temple in an orderly manner, holding different exquisite garments, respectfully bowing their heads and standing outside the great hall of the temple.

Xu Shuo had already entered the temple, allowing the devotees to bathe and change him.

The coronation ceremony for the new king.

Whether genuinely heartfelt or just for show, the Pope’s attire must not be too casual, as it represented the face of the entire Holy See of Light.

Therefore, it was natural to attend in full regalia.

But this coronation ceremony was different from the past.

At most, under the formal attire, another set of simpler clothes for ease of movement would be worn, but one must look good on the outside no matter what.

Xu Shuo yawned.

He didn’t feel so tired during the busy nights, and even just now when he came up, he had used a clarity and awakening magic on himself.

But now, as these people fussed over arranging his attire,

he inexplicably felt very sleepy.

And it wasn’t just him.

Catalina was also taken to be dressed up.

However, as an Envoy of the Heresy Tribunal, Catalina’s attire, no matter how elaborate, was still much lighter than Xu Shuo’s, at most her nun’s clothing was made more resplendent.

Time slowly passed.

The sun climbed high in the sky.

Merely getting washed and groomed took hours.

So now, Catalina finally understood why that person said so early in the morning that he was going to the coronation — the coronation that starts with grooming, indeed begins early in the morning.

Catalina was nodding off.

It was only just finished on that end.

It was a tight schedule to come out on time.

She absentmindedly raised her head to look, only to be dazzled by a figure emerging from a blaze of golden light.

The Papal’s ceremonial attire was of a white and gold color.

The silver-white base robe refracted brilliant golden light under the illumination, embroidered with intricate patterns resembling the mysterious magic sigils of some profound secret; a brilliant gold mantle with glittering patterns rested on the shoulders, hemmed with white tassels.

In this fusion of gold and silver-hued regalia, the sole contrasting touch was the deep red cloak trailing on the ground behind him.

The outer side of the cloak was silver, adorned with similarly silvery long hair dangling over it.

The Clerical Robe was of a straight cylindrical style, piled with many delicate and magnificent adornments, shimmering and gleaming with every step.
