Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 58 White lies
Spark Hall.

The Pope's grandson actually knelt on one knee in front of a slave?
This absurd scene made Xia Mingyu's face flash with surprise.

After all, in this alternate world similar to the Middle Ages where gods truly exist, the authority of the church can be imagined.

As far as he knew, the Church of the Sun was also the church with the largest number of believers in the entire Western Continent. Unlike other churches that only spread their faith in one major country, the Church of the Sun had a wide range of believers in both the Rhine Kingdom and the Sosia Kingdom.

Of course, the number of believers in the former country far exceeds that of the latter.

Therefore, Tamerlan's action was no less than the Brahmins of the White Elephant Kingdom on the Blue Planet kneeling down to the untouchables.

This guy is indeed a true paladin.

The giant looked at Tamerlan who was bowing his head deeply in front of him, and a trace of emotion appeared on his scarred face.

“I forgive you”

He stood up from the bronze seat and spoke haltingly to Tamerlan, who was also kneeling on one knee.

After this episode, the three returned to their positions.

"Your Highness, could you please tell me where this place is? Can we return to where we came from?"

Tamerlan looked around the palace. This magnificent palace seemed to have no boundaries, extending infinitely into the distance, with no end in sight.

"I still need to carry out patrol duties as usual tomorrow. If I can't get back, it might cause a small disturbance."

Tamerlan touched the back of his head, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his handsome face.

If he disappeared, his grandfather would probably turn the entire Corona City upside down to look for him.

"I can stay here." The giant man also spoke at this time.

After a moment of silence, Xia Mingyu reviewed the information in his mind and slowly said:

"This place can be considered a spiritual realm, or a dream, created by my protection. You are not your real bodies at this moment, but merely your consciousness that has come here."

"As soon as your bodies in the outside world wake up, or I wake up, we will leave from here."

Upon hearing this, Tamerlan breathed a sigh of relief, while the giant lowered his head and remained silent.

"Can I come again?" He raised his head and said calmly.

"Of course you can. When you feel sleepy, just recite the spark of fire silently and you can come here." Xia Mingyu smiled slightly.

Snapped!
He snapped his fingers, and rows of bookshelves slowly rose from the ground not far from the long table.

Most of the books on it were from the library at Black Wolf Castle, but there were also a few literary works that he was very familiar with in his previous life, such as The Merchant of Venice, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, The Spartacus Uprising, and Hercules.
Alas, if I had known I would travel through time, the thing I should have remembered most would be the books on how to make gunpowder and firearms.

"If you're bored here, you can read a book." Xia Mingyu said.

Before he finished speaking, Tamerlan walked towards the bookshelf with anticipation, while the giant man stood there in a daze.

"Mr. Thirteen, don't you like reading?" Xia Mingyu asked puzzledly.

"I know very few words and cannot read books." Thirteen hesitated.

In this world, because everyone has a blessing on their head, although productivity is low, the literacy rate is not low. Almost all villages have a literacy book shared by the whole village.

But even so, literacy was still a luxury for slaves.

After all, once you learn to read and write, you will gradually develop thoughts. Once you have thoughts, how can you be willing to be a slave?
Therefore, most slaves were ordered to stop learning after being taught the most basic words for daily life so that they could understand orders.

"Then I'll teach you how to read. It just so happens that I've only been taught to read a short time ago, so I'm quite familiar with it."

Xia Mingyu smiled and spread his palm. A flash of light appeared, and the literacy book that An Liya had held in the past reappeared in his hand. It was even in the same tattered state.

"Thank you." After a long silence, the giant said in a low voice.

How is it possible that a noble prince has only just learned to read?
He was just illiterate, but he was not a fool, so he could naturally tell that this was a white lie.

Just like that, in the Spark Hall, Xia Mingyu and the giant man sat at the table to teach him how to read, and from time to time they would create various words and phrases to represent things in order to deepen his impression.

Tamerlan was immersed in the books on the bookshelf. He seemed to be disdainful of the books in the Black Wolf Castle Library and was just obsessed with reading various literary works on the Blue Star.

After an unknown amount of time, the magnificent hall gradually became transparent, and the torches on the twelve obsidian prisms gradually became flickering.

"It looks like I'm about to wake up. See you next time." Xia Mingyu shrugged helplessly.

"Your Majesty, your noble and benevolent Highness, thank you for your hospitality. I love the books here and look forward to seeing you again. I hope you will not mind me disturbing the peace of your palace."

Tamerlan reluctantly put down "The Merchant of Venice" in his hand. He walked to Xia Mingyu and bowed respectfully.

"Me too." The giant took a long time to utter these words.

The next moment, the Spark Hall completely dissipated, and the consciousness of the three people returned to their bodies in the outside world.

Corona City.

It was built on the Sun Mountain. It did not belong to any country. It was the holy city of the Sun Church and nominally belonged to God's territory.

At the same time, it is also recognized as the place closest to the sun in the world.

In the heart of the city, in a luxurious manor covering a vast area.

Tamerlan slowly woke up from the soft big bed, and the beautiful maids who had been waiting by the bed respectfully changed his pajamas for him.

A moment later, after changing his clothes, he sat in front of a smooth mirror, while two maids were carefully taking care of his hair.

The mirror reflected the identity protection above his head - the ice-blue "noble".

For someone without territory or title, it is almost impossible to obtain the protection of a Crescent Moon-ranked noble.

But it is very common in Tamerlan Rhine.

As the grandson of the Pope, even King Rhine VIII of the Rhine Kingdom came to bless him in person at the baby honor ceremony when he was born.

As a result, when he was just born, he received the noble protection of the Morning Star rank.

This is the blessing that countless nobles in the world dream of, and only a very few great lords can obtain, but he was born with it.

Later, for some reason, his reputation rose rapidly, and Kago was successfully promoted to the Crescent rank at the Paladin investiture ceremony held by the contemporary Pope himself after he came of age.

"The Spark Hall. Is it a dream?" the blond young man murmured.

He quickly dismissed the idea, as the memory of The Merchant of Venice that he had read on the bookshelf in the palace was still clear in his mind.

He was very sure that he would never be able to create such a great literary work in his lifetime, even in his dreams.

"Did the Jews draw inspiration from the real Clay people?" Tamerlan thought for a moment, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"No matter what, it's great to meet His Highness Mingyu, who has a heart for justice. I really look forward to meeting you next time!"

With his dreams in his heart, the young man went out with his sword in hand and embarked on the Paladin's routine patrol.

At the same time, in a dark and damp dungeon, the giant man lying on the rough hay slowly opened his eyes.
