Today's princess is still cute

He could only bite the tip of his tongue hard, and the severe pain brought him back to his senses.

"When?"

"Today, the young chief's convoy is expected to arrive at Dongdaemun. I took advantage of their last day of relaxed security and tried every possible means to escape. Her Highness is being watched by the palace and can't go anywhere," the old maid's voice was terrified, and she looked at Cardinson tremblingly, "Sir Payne, help her, help her!"

Cardinson took a deep breath and said word by word: "Go back first and tell His Highness that I am here for you and you don't have to worry."

It's meaningless to ask now why I wasn't told earlier. If the old maid could have told me, she would have told me earlier, and would not have waited until today to come to me.

Perhaps it was the young man's strong self-confidence that gave the old maid a sense of security, and this pitiful woman all her life nodded.

"Brother, can you help me send this old man back to the imperial city? Please."

Cardinson said to a Vatican knight standing by the door.

Nowadays, Cardinson knew everyone in the Vatican. Seeing their anxious look, the knight immediately said, "Okay, I'll go get a carriage first, wait for me!"

The old maid asked Cardinson, "Sir Payne, where are you going now?"

"Go find His Holiness the Pope." said Cardinson.

"Yes, yes! Go find His Holiness the Pope, he will definitely find a way!" Thinking of the good deeds the Pope had done before, the old maid felt more hopeful.

If the Pope came forward to put pressure on them, the engagement would definitely be cancelled!

She was so confused that she would not have thought that if the Pope came forward, the Emperor would be even less likely to cancel it. Once he gave in, it would mean that the royal family was bowing to the Holy See, especially on such state affairs as marriage with the barbarians!

Cardinson's mind was still clear, so he naturally wouldn't have such thoughts.

He went to the Pope for something else.

"You wait here for the carriage. I'll go first."

"Sir Payne, I leave everything in your hands!" The old maid was so anxious that tears came to her eyes and she kept bowing and saluting.

"Ah."

Cardinson turned around and ran towards the Vatican, but after a few steps, he ran into Césaire Melo who was standing there.

Oops.

"Teacher, are you going to stop me?" Cardinson smiled bitterly, looking at the man in front of him who was as still as a mountain.

He was a knight of the Vatican, but now he was challenging the emperor's authority for a girl he had only met twice. This was too stupid.

The teacher wouldn't let me do such a stupid thing, right?

Xizel looked at him calmly, with something indescribable in his eyes.

"No, I just wanted to tell you that His Holiness the Pope is free."

Cardinson was stunned for a moment, then nodded overjoyed and ran over.

As they passed each other, I heard a word from César.

"If you really decide to protect someone, don't regret it."

Chapter 72 [Follow the Shadow]!

September 1180, 9 of the Blue Calendar.

Today is destined to be a day that will be remembered by the imperial city.

When the wise and powerful emperor decided to marry the ill-fated princess who could bring disaster to the people at any time to the equally annoying northwestern barbarians, many people applauded.

It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see a proper ceremony.

Normally, when a princess gets married, or a prince gets married, there will be a grand ceremony held on the avenue leading out of the east gate of the imperial city. Except for those more important celebrations, it is a luxurious scene that ordinary people can rarely see a few times in their lifetime.

However, this did not stop them from watching and joining in the fun, and "seeing off" the ill-fated princess as she left the imperial capital.

Cardinson stood in the middle of the crowd, silently watching the group of people coming out of the East Gate.

At the beginning, there is a handsome young man riding a navy blue horse, wearing a barbarian robe and various gold and silver ornaments. Needless to say, he is the young chief.

But, he seemed a little too handsome? His skin was visibly bronzed, but how could a barbarian man look like a girl? He even looked a little frail?

Young Chief Tarim's face was extremely gloomy, and it was not like what he had just heard from the rumors around him - the young chief was so happy that he almost went crazy when he learned that he could marry the princess of the empire.

Cardinson just felt that he looked very familiar, but it was too late to think about it.

Looking further back, there were two barbarian shamans wearing pitch-black robes, and a large group of sturdy barbarian warriors, more than a hundred in number.

The number of guards sent by the royal family was not small, but it was definitely against the rules. Have you ever seen a princess get married with only 500 people? Normally, this guard was supposed to send the princess to her husband's house and stay there for a month before returning.

You only sent 500 people to the Northwestern Barbarians' territory? ?

Cardinson continued to look back and saw several carriages. The one in the middle was engraved with the emblem of Ulysses, and the ones behind were probably dowry.

shabby.

Apart from shabby, Cardinson couldn't find a second word to describe the team in front of him.

The princess of the empire was not even as good as the daughter of an earl when she got married? There was not even a state gift, let alone a few letters exchanged between the two forces.

How ridiculous it is to make random decisions, prepare hastily, and then send them off impatiently!

When Cardinson thought about the suffering Tina had endured during this period of time, he felt angrier than ever before and wanted to beat the group of people in front of him to pieces.

As the wedding procession gradually approached, the civilians along the way did not cheer, but instead made all kinds of weird laughs.

"Sorry, please give way."

Cardinson squeezed out with all his strength, and then stood directly in the middle of the road, the only way for the team to pass.

"Huh? Is it His Excellency Paine, the Knight of the Holy See?"

Someone in the crowd quickly recognized Cardinson, and after his identity as a Vatican knight spread, discussions immediately broke out.

Tarim naturally also saw him, the young man standing in the middle wearing only the simplest white robe.

"stop."

The young chief clenched his fist and the team behind him stopped.

For some reason, when Cardinson looked into his eyes, he actually saw a hint of joy in the young chief's eyes?

"Who are you?" Tarim asked.

"Here to grab the bride." Cardinson replied.

The question and answer caused an immediate uproar around them!

Grab a bride!

In the history of human development over so many years, this is arguably the most outrageous yet the most interesting event!

A young barbarian chief wants to marry an imperial princess, and the one who comes to steal the bride is actually a knight of the Vatican?

This is a wonderful drama that you will never see in your lifetime!

Out of respect for the Holy See and fear of the royal family, the people wisely stepped back a few steps, leaving enough space for Cardinson, and looked forward to his performance.

There is always a shortage of such people in the world, but you have no way to deal with them.

Tarim's eyes swept over Cardinson like a hawk, but he sighed regretfully, his strength was too poor.

Without even waiting for him to speak, a royal knight rode over from the back of the team. It happened to be the stinky-faced man he saw during the hunting that day.

"How dare you! How dare you block the princess' carriage and even talk about snatching the bride away? Do you really think your church can do whatever it wants? This is the imperial capital, the capital of the empire!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to pour out all his malice.

These words were so heartbreaking.

No matter how Cardinson answered, it was what the other party wanted to see.

"No, I only represent myself. What I do has nothing to do with the Holy See." Cardinson pulled the corner of his mouth and gave him a disdainful smile.

The Royal Knights were immediately overjoyed. No matter whether it was really related to the Holy See or not, Cardinson would never be able to escape!

He put on a righteous look and shouted, "Then I will take you back and let your church's people take you! What a crime for offending the royal family!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and three more royal knights rode out of the crowd, holding spears and wearing armor. They looked very majestic, and they all looked at Cardinson coldly.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cardinson took out a pocket watch from his pocket.

A pocket watch with an antique style, but strangely, half of it was covered with rust and decay, and the other half was brand new.

The Royal Knight thought he was going to take out some scroll with great destructive power, but when he saw it was a broken pocket watch without any energy at all, he laughed out loud.

"Why? Do you want to check the time and estimate how many seconds you can last?"

Cardinson ignored them and looked at the pocket watch on his hand with complicated eyes.

The pocket watch received from the Pope.

The three great artifacts of the Church, the sacred scepter that represents the power of God, the sword of arbitration that judges sin, and the only thing left is the fate pocket watch in his hand, which can restore the peak state of his life.

The old man's words seemed to echo in my ears: "Child, although I don't know why you want to borrow this from me, I want to tell you that this thing can only be used once in a lifetime, without exception."

does it worth?

Cardinson laughed at himself, thinking that he was really stupid. He didn't even know whether this pocket watch would work.

Even if it takes effect, how do we explain what happens afterwards?

Cardinson didn't want to think about it anymore, he just wanted to live in the present.

Then he opened the lid of the pocket watch in his hand.

There was a flash of light, and the hands on the pocket watch went from still to rapidly rotating, but at the end they converged into a line, pointing to the direction of twelve o'clock, and finally turned into points of glow and dissipated.

Cardinson looked at the pocket watch that disappeared after use, thinking that it should have returned to the Vatican.

"What the hell are you playing here! Go!"

The four royal knights drove their roaring horses and charged towards Cardinson!

Cardinson was helpless. Is it really useless?

Yes, after all, I am just a time traveler.

Just as he was about to take out the Frostfire from his storage ring to fight the enemy, a voice without any emotion suddenly rang in his ears, but to Cardinson it sounded like the most beautiful sound in the world.

Chapter 73: Twenty Years is Too Long, Seize the Day

When Cardinson walked unimpeded to the door of the room where the Pope was, he stopped.

It’s not that he didn’t know what to say, nor that he hadn’t prepared any response measures, but the sudden panic made him feel extremely tormented.

The purpose of his coming here was to borrow the pocket watch of destiny that could reverse all rules and break all restrictions.

The three major artifacts of the Holy See are the Sacred Scepter, which represents the majesty of God and is used to protect justice and glory; the Sword of Arbitration, which is used to suppress evil and hell and judge original sin; and the Watch of Destiny, which can connect the past and the present to everything and summon the strongest point that you have left in the long river of time in the past.

The three great artifacts shone brightly in the battle against the devil in later generations. Unlike the Holy Scepter that can only be used by the Pope and the Sword of Arbitration that can only be used by the most virtuous people, the Watch of Destiny has only one requirement, which is that you must have an energy stone from the Vatican in your body.

As a divine artifact that can only be used once in a lifetime and has a cooldown period of one year, the Watch of Destiny played a huge role when the Pope was on the verge of death.

It can be said to be one of the keys to reversing the war. Faced with the Pope who was resurrected with full blood and returned to his peak, the Demon King had to avoid his edge.

Unlike the first two artifacts that directly increase combat power, the Destiny Pocket Watch uses your own strength. There must have been a point in time when you were the strongest in the past. Its function is to bring the state at that point in time back to you. The stronger you were at that time, the shorter the duration, but the slowest is ten minutes.

This is Cardinson's biggest trump card, and also the most uncertain one.

Yes, he had been eyeing the Watch of Destiny as early as when he joined the Holy See, because he knew that as long as he made a promise, the Pope would definitely lend it to him.

After all, it is not something that is the most powerful thing in the box. The stronger the person, the stronger it becomes. But if a mediocre person uses it, it will not change anything.

What Cardinson is not sure about now is whether his career as a gamer before traveling through time belongs to the “past”?

From which point in time and which world did his soul and his body begin?

The concept of time and space is too mysterious, and Cardinson doesn't dare to draw conclusions easily.

If he failed, he would be a complete failure, and he would have to pin his hopes on whether the Holy See would help him save himself.

If successful, the royal family will be faced with a strong man who is at the peak of the second level but beyond this level, and they will also have to face pressure from many aspects - how did Cardinson in the past possess such a powerful force?
