There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

As Lu Qing walked out of the cathedral, she immediately saw Eileen standing at the door waiting for her.

"Your Highness." Upon seeing Lu Qing, Eileen immediately ran over and said.

"Where is Knight Myron?" Lu Qing asked curiously, seeing that Eileen was all alone.

"Sir Myron is speaking with His Holiness the Pope," Eileen said, turning to look in the direction of Sir Myron.

Lu Qing looked in the direction Eileen was looking and saw Knight Myron chatting with the Pope.

"Then let's wait here for a while," Lu Qing said.

"By the way, Eileen, you and Sir Myron didn't wait here for me all day, did you?" Lu Qing suddenly remembered something and asked.

“I’m so sorry, Your Highness, I didn’t wait for you at the church entrance the whole time. I was too tired and was asked by Sir Myron to rest on a nearby bench for a while,” Eileen said with a hint of apology.

"You did very well, you don't need to apologize to me." Lu Qing shook her head, somewhat helplessly.

Eileen is good in every way, except that she is a little too rule-abiding. You know, she stayed in the church from morning until about one o'clock in the afternoon.

As a result, if Sir Myron hadn't told her to take a break, she might have continued standing at the door waiting for her for so long.

Chapter 470: Who is this kind, beautiful, noble, and pure princess? That's right, it's me!

PS: Thank you to the reader "Moyu deou" for the 1500 Qidian coins!

"So, Her Highness's blessing from the sacred tree is spiritual?"

On the other side, after hearing what the Pope said, Knight Myron asked in surprise.

"Yes, I was surprised too, but it's true, there's no mistake." The Pope nodded, also feeling somewhat incredulous.

Who would have thought that Princess Vanhustan, the only princess, would receive a blessing from the sacred tree on the day she came of age?

This is too much of a coincidence, but that's the truth, and there's nothing the Pope can do about it.

"I have already written to the king about this matter, and I hope he will agree."

“The King only has one daughter, Princess Lu Qing, who will definitely inherit the throne. If the King agrees to your request, he will have to have another child while he still has the strength.” Knight Myron shook his head, not very optimistic about the matter.

“No, there is a second option.” The Pope shook his head and said, “The Sacred Tree is very important to our world. If something happens to the Sacred Tree, all life in the world will be in danger.”

"And I am getting old, so the next saintess can only be a princess."

"Similarly, Her Highness the Princess can also inherit the throne."

"..." Myron was taken aback by the Pope's idea. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You mean to let Her Highness the Princess inherit both the throne and the position of Pope?"

"Yes."

A smile appeared on the Pope's face as he looked sincerely at Knight Myron and said, "Don't you find it strange that a country is jointly controlled by two forces?"

“I have long felt that the Papacy has too much power. This power means that if the Pope has any selfish desires, it will definitely bring great damage to the country.”

"If Her Highness could inherit both the throne and the power of the Pope, I believe the world would be a better place."

"........."

Knight Myron fell silent. He hadn't expected the Pope to have such thoughts, and he actually thought the other was right!

"There can only be one king. What if the king is incompetent and foolish?" Sir Myron asked after thinking for a while.

"Ha, if the king is truly incompetent and foolish, then naturally there will be talented people to overthrow him," the Pope said nonchalantly.

"you're right."

Knight Myron didn't want to continue discussing this issue with the Pope; he was just a retired knight and didn't understand politics.

For him, there was only one thing to do now: no matter what happened, he had to ensure that the princess's life was not threatened.

"I can't keep Her Highness waiting too long. Let's talk another time, Your Holiness the Pope."

After glancing at Lu Qing, who was chatting with Eileen not far away, Knight Myron politely gave the Pope a knightly salute and then walked away.

........

“Eileen, she is my friend, her name is Muir.”

On the other side, Lu Qing noticed Eileen looking at Muir with some curiosity and introduced her.

"Hello, I am Princess's maid, Eileen." Eileen said to Muir after hearing Lu Qing's words.

As she spoke, she glanced curiously at the blue headband on Muir's head.

She remembered this item; it was something Her Highness the Princess bought while shopping yesterday, saying it was a gift for a friend.

"Is this Princess's friend?" Eileen carefully observed Muir, never expecting that Princess's friend would be a beautiful female thief.

However, she wouldn't say much, since she was just a servant and it was none of her business who the princess befriended.

and.......

After spending the past two days with Lu Qing, she concluded that given the princess's personality, her friends would definitely not be people with bad tempers.

"Hello," Muir greeted Eileen in return after hearing her words.

"How lively! Is this a new friend of Her Highness the Princess?" At this moment, Knight Myron walked over and greeted the three of them.

“Hello, my name is Muir, and I am a friend of Her Highness the Princess,” Muir said to Knight Myron.

"Unexpectedly polite," Sir Myron nodded to himself.

He could tell where Muir came from just by looking at her clothes. The lower city of the capital was no good place; almost no one who came out of there was a good person.

“I am Her Highness the Princess’s bodyguard knight. Just call me Knight Myron.” Myron smiled and extended his hand.

“Hmm.” Muir nodded and reached out to shake hands with Knight Myron.

.......

"Eileen, are there any spare rooms in the castle?" Lu Qing asked Eileen as they sat in the carriage on their way back.

Eileen glanced subconsciously at Muir sitting next to Lu Qing, and after thinking for a while, said, "Yes, there are many vacant guest rooms in the castle."

"Okay, that's fine then. Please make the arrangements for me afterwards."

"Ok."

"........"

Silence fell again inside the carriage, with the only sounds being the overlapping of the horses' hooves on the ground and the wheels rolling rapidly.

When the carriage arrived inside the castle estate, Eileen went to arrange a room for Muir, and Sir Myron went to chat with the king, she couldn't help but voice her thoughts.

"I feel like I'm being kept by you," Muir whispered in Lu Qing's ear, her face slightly flushed.

"You're overthinking it." Lu Qing shook her head, then said, "You don't need to feel anything, that's just how it is."

"........."

After a moment of silence, Muir seemed to recall something and said, "I remembered something I read before. The male protagonist was always favored by the female protagonist and then taken to some high-society banquets, balls and the like."

"Then some people who dislike the protagonist come out to cause trouble, only to be humiliated by the protagonist in the end?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

"Yeah, I feel like the male lead in a novel, being brought to the castle by a kind, beautiful, noble, and pure princess," Muir said, half-jokingly.

"Yes, that's right, I am the kind, beautiful, noble and pure princess." Lu Qing admitted without any shame, since it was just the two of them here and no one else would hear what she was saying.

As for the four people who had been following them, they left shortly after Knight Myron appeared, as if they had received some kind of instruction.

"So, will there be people specifically looking for trouble next?" Muir asked, seemingly looking forward to it.

"I already said that's just... how could that be in reality?" Lu Qing rolled her eyes, speechless.

She is the only princess of Fanhusi Dan. Even if the person she brings is a beggar, others will only think about it in their hearts, but it is absolutely impossible for them to say it out loud.

However, right after she finished speaking, a somewhat arrogant-sounding male voice came from beside them.

"Hey you little thief over there, who gave you permission to enter the manor?"

P.S.: This isn't a melodramatic plot; there's a reason for it, which I'll explain later.

Similarly, it is not a coincidence.

Take a day off

I wrote too late yesterday, and I feel so sleepy tonight.

I need to catch up on my sleep now. Sorry, I'll try to write earlier next time and not stay up too late.

Chapter 471: Hetui~Pervert!

"What!?"

"Her Highness the Princess has been attacked!?"

Inside the king's office, Sir Myron, upon hearing the message from the messenger, slammed his hand on the table in surprise.

The king's expression was also not good. He looked nervously at the soldier who had delivered the message and asked, "Was the princess harmed?"

"Her Highness the Princess was unharmed. On the contrary, she and her friends wiped out all the attackers." The soldier lowered his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

This was inside the castle, the most heavily guarded place in the entire Vanhustan, yet Her Highness was still attacked in such a place.

And the fact that they ended the battle before the soldiers even noticed was truly shameful. There was no doubt that they would be severely reprimanded by the captain of the guard afterwards.

Of course, the captain of the guard might have to get a good scolding first.

.......

Meanwhile, on the other side, the captain of the guard team was kneeling in front of Lu Qing with a face full of shame.

"I'm very sorry, it was my negligence to let these guys in!"

The captain of the guard didn't dare look Lu Qing in the eye at all, knowing that the only daughter of the king was standing in front of him!

If those thugs were able to attack Her Highness the Princess within the castle estate, does that mean they could also attack the King or other ministers?

Although the defense levels inside the manor and the castle are different, no one cares about that. All they know is that the princess was attacked because of his dereliction of duty.
