"Thank you." Xing Feng took the teacup and took a sip. He had to admit that it tasted really good.

"So, Your Highness, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"You should have noticed that I had a head injury before, and I can't remember a lot of things. I just want to ask, where is this place..."

Xia Er was skeptical about what Xing Feng said about his amnesia, but he still gave an answer.

"You are now in the Layas Holy Land at the southernmost tip of the Horton Empire. It is also the seminary used by the Holy See to train holy teachers."

"Holy Master?" Xing Feng had heard this word from Cole a long time ago, but until now he still didn't understand what it meant.

"This is just a general term for most of the children here. They are all selected from all over the country. They are talented people with an affinity for the element of light. After they complete their studies, the male saints will become saints, and the female saints will become priests, Knights Templar, etc. They will eventually be assigned to various territories to ensure that the people of every piece of land in the empire can have something to believe in."

Xing Feng has never been interested in religion and has always felt that it is no different from pyramid schemes. However, this magical world seems to be very different from his past perceptions.

You know, magic is roughly equivalent to armed force, and no royal family would be stupid enough to allow the Holy See to grow bigger and stronger. But from what Charles said, it seems that this country has really done it in a miraculous way.

"Then what will happen to me, the Holy Son, in the future..." Xing Feng accidentally asked what was in his mind. When he realized that he was a little out of control, he quickly stopped talking.

"Your Highness, you are an exception. The Son of God has not appeared for hundreds of years. However, according to history, the Son of God before you facilitated a reconciliation between the royal family and the Church."

"reconciliation?"

"Of course it's a marriage. The last Holy Son...brought hundreds of strong men to the empire. The Norton Empire rose rapidly at that time and annexed dozens of surrounding countries."

"Count, count...hundreds...how did they do that?" Xing Feng's eyes trembled. What kind of disgusting stallion was this? He was so hungry that he would not choose his food. But suddenly he remembered what Eljieli said, that the Son of God would be tied to the bed and let the whole family enjoy him. Maybe the Son of God was just forced...

"Your Highness...things like that...there will be special courses to teach you in the future." Charles coughed twice, pretending to be calm.

"No, no! That's not what I meant!" Xing Feng blushed with shame when he realized that what he said was misunderstood.

"I mean, am I just going to be a plaything for the rest of my life..."

Seeing the gloomy expression of His Royal Highness the Holy Son, Charles suddenly felt a trace of pity in his heart.

If he were just an ordinary man with good looks, maybe if he found a woman who truly loved him, he could live a wonderful life.

But the fate of the Son of God has always been tragic. Not only does he have to face such cruel treatment, but he will never be free in his entire life and will die young.

But who was he to judge? He was just a tiny screw in this huge machine.

"Charles, I want to ask you a favor." Xing Feng put down the teacup and suddenly held Charles' hand solemnly.

"Your Highness, this is what you are doing."

"You are so powerful, please teach me how to gain strength. I don't want to face that kind of ending!"

Charles was surprised, he had clearly hidden himself very well, and there were no more than three people who knew that he, a man, possessed considerable strength. How did His Royal Highness the Son of God discover it?

Chapter 12 Secret Exchange

"..." Charles did not respond to Xing Feng's request. He looked at Xing Feng for a long time but said nothing.

Everyone has their own secrets, and no one likes to be exposed. Charles has kept this secret hidden for many years. The reason he can have his current status is also due to the fact that he hid it very well and it was not discovered by outsiders.

After settling down in the Vatican, he even planned to keep these things to himself forever.

Because in the Norton Empire, men are born without freedom, and talented men will become playthings of the nobles.

The silence between the two made the atmosphere even more tense.

"Char, please, as long as you are willing to help me, I will do my best to satisfy whatever you want."

Xing Feng was the first to break the silence. He knew that he was alone now, and the only thing he could offer was his worthless sincerity.

But as Charles remained silent for longer, Xing Feng became more and more disappointed.

Yes, he and I have no relationship at all, and helping me will do him no good.

If you put yourself in his shoes, if it were him, he probably wouldn't choose to lend a helping hand.

"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous." Xing Feng lowered his head in disappointment and let go of Charles' hand.

But Charles nodded the next second and said lightly, "Okay."

Xing Feng first suspected that he had heard it wrong, but after coming to his senses, he still couldn't hide his excitement.

"Really? Really? Are you really willing to teach me?" Xing Feng wanted to hug Charles tightly.

But Charles stretched out his index finger and pressed it against Xing Feng's forehead to stop the rude behavior.

"Everything has a price. I can help you, but I want you to..." Ciel's originally brown pupils gradually turned into bright orange-yellow, "Tell me a secret about yourself."

"My secret..." Xing Feng thought of his eyes first, but he could never say it out loud because he already knew the price of exposing this secret.

But what other secrets does he have?

About the system and my past life? Can this be considered a secret?

[No information about the system and previous life can be revealed. If revealed, you will be immediately killed.] The system issued a reminder sound after a long absence and also gave a punishment method.

Xing Feng had no choice but to give up the idea. He didn't want to die on the spot.

But apart from this, he really didn't have any secrets left. Could it be that he could only reveal this to Ciel...

Oh, right! That key! Elgeri!

"In fact, Her Highness the Saint..." After weighing the pros and cons, Xing Feng decided to tell her everything about the Saint's threat to him, perhaps it would bring some new variables...

"I know this, but it doesn't count." Xiaer interrupted Xing Feng before he could finish.

Xing Feng opened his mouth slightly, somewhat confused. Why did Charles even know this? Could it be that he had been eavesdropping outside?

Seeing Xing Feng's confusion, Charles explained: "It was the magical aura that the Saint Lady left intentionally."

As an attitude, a warning...

Xing Feng was totally at a loss now.

If he wants to escape from the Vatican, he must learn from Charles how to gain power, otherwise he will always be at the mercy of others.

It's not like he hadn't thought about making up a lie to fool Charles.

But this is a purple-level expert. Even a simple Lilith can tell when she is lying.

It would be strange if I could conceal my lie now!

The only way left for him now was to go all out.

"You really won't tell anyone..."

"As long as Your Highness is willing to tell the truth, I am willing to promise you and swear to the God of Light on my life." Charles placed his hand solemnly on his chest.

He was not worried that the Son of God would say other things. Through magic, he could feel that the Son of God was hiding a life-threatening secret in his heart, which also could not be known to outsiders.

What he wanted was that handle, which would leave him with a guarantee and a way out. This was a secret equal exchange between the two of them.

After hesitating for a long time, Xing Feng decided to be reserved and only mentioned the color change in a tactful way. As for what color it was, he absolutely could not say it out loud...

Perhaps as a man, Ciel could understand himself...

"Actually, I have holy seals on both of my eyes, and..." Xing Feng said hesitantly in a low voice, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Charles's harsh voice.

"enough!"

Charles' expression was extremely serious, as if he had heard something dangerous.

Before Xing Feng could react, he saw Charles stretch out his hand and press down, and the orange-yellow magic power spread out from under his feet to the surroundings.

The magic covered every corner of the room like liquid. After discovering that there was no sign of monitoring, Charles' frown still did not relax at all.

"You must never tell anyone about the Holy Seal. Don't you know how dangerous this matter is, Your Highness?" Charles grabbed Xing Feng's shoulders and his voice became a little louder. This was the first time he lost his composure like this.

Xing Feng nodded repeatedly. He didn't understand why Xia Er seemed like a different person.

"Charles, what's wrong with you?" Xing Feng was a little scared. He was a little frightened by Charles' reaction, and his shoulder was pinched so painfully.

When Charles realized that he had lost his composure and even changed his way of addressing people, he quickly let go of her hand and sat down to calm down.

"I'm sorry, but the royal family hasn't left yet. This is for your protection."

"Char... "

Xing Feng didn't understand. He hadn't even finished his words yet. What on earth was Xia Er worried about? What was he worried about protecting himself...

"Your Highness, the bloodline purity of the One-Eyed Holy Seal is already at the pinnacle in history. The offspring born from it can perfectly replicate the mother's power. As for your Two-Eyed Holy Seal..." Charles sighed.

"As the Holy Son of the Holy See, you will definitely become the fuse for the escalation of the conflict between the royal family and the Holy See."

The conflict between the Church and the royal family has long been irreversible. The royal children who were placed in the seminary and the clergy who were scattered to various territories...

Charles didn't dare to say anything too serious, for he was worried that the Son of God would be frightened, but at the same time he suddenly realized something terrible.

Was it intentional or accidental that Farah pushed the Son of God out at this time?

What on earth does she want to do?

No, the most urgent thing is how many people know about the Son of God...

"Your Highness, who have you told before that you have the Holy Seal in your eyes?"

"Maybe... only Elgeri knows."

Charles frowned. He didn't believe this number. The first one to be affected was the Saint, followed by Farah, and then Lilith who was just taken away. These three people might have already known about it.

"Your Highness, please forgive my intrusion, but the Saint Lady has not done anything to you before."

"Oh? Probably... I haven't had enough time..." Xing Feng's face turned red, and his voice became thinner and thinner until it could no longer be heard at all.

"I suggest that you stay away from the Saint Lady for the time being. At least don't have any relationship with her for the time being."

"But, Elgeri wants me to..."

"what?"

"She asked me to go to her room at night..."

Charles' face froze, and he cursed in his heart that the Saint was so shameless. She was so eager to swallow the Son of God. She was so bold!

Didn't she know that if the Son of God lost his virginity, the royal family would be completely furious? He had just established a foothold in the Church and planned to live a stable life. If a civil war broke out at this time, everything would be burned to ashes.

"Your Highness, if you are willing to trust me, I am willing to help you through this crisis."

"Ah?" Xing Feng didn't understand why Xia Er was willing to help him. Could it be that he was touched by his tragic experience? So he felt pity for him?

Although I don’t understand why, this belated help may really help me escape from danger.

Xing Feng nodded, and thought to himself that he was right. Brothers should stick together and help each other.

In this upside-down world, perhaps there really is a concept of boys helping boys.

"Your Highness, in order to help you survive this night's crisis, we must find someone to assist you."

"Who?"

"The former Saint, Lady Zelina."

Chapter 13: The Saint of the Previous Generation

Before the sun set, Charles took Xing Feng to a secluded path surrounded by lush flowers.

The road was paved with mossy bricks and surrounded by lush green grass. It seemed that no one had walked on this road for a long time.

"Charles, are you sure it's here?" Xing Feng was a little confused. Why would the previous saint live in such a remote place?

"Your Highness, we have to move faster. Lady Jelina doesn't like to be disturbed too late." Charles activated his magic, and the plants in front of him, which were originally so dense that they were impossible to pass through, made way for a passage the next second.

Just as Ciel was about to take a step forward, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned back and hesitantly warned: "Lady Jelina is a little... naive... In any case, please try to remain silent."

"Okay." Xing Feng nodded dully, not quite understanding why Charles was so mysterious. Was "simple" a derogatory term? He remembered that he had heard the name of this previous saint somewhere during the day. When was it?

Oh, right! Cole mentioned this morning that the blonde woman who looked like Elgeri's mother and daughter standing together, what would she look like?

With curiosity in their hearts, the two continued along the path and soon arrived at the exit.

What comes into view is an exquisite back garden. The stone bricks under your feet are scattered among the lush green grass, leading all the way to a small marble pavilion in the middle.

The pavilion is wrapped in vines and flowers, and is surrounded by an artificial stream with clear water flowing, and butterflies and birds flying around in the air.

Charles frowned as he looked towards the pavilion. Logically, this was Lady Jelina's afternoon tea time, but where on earth was she now?

Could it be that Lady Jelina has other plans today?

The two continued to walk inside, and after entering the pavilion, they found a cup of steaming black tea on the table.

It looked like he hadn't been away for too long.

Huh? Weird? Is it in the house?
