Chapter 398: The Saint King of Twilight

In the dark King's Audience Room, Todd sat by the window, his eyes reflected in the bonfire celebration outside the window, the laughter echoing in the air, and there was no expression on his flickering face.

A whole day had passed since the Protestant ceremony, and Twilight was in a state of joy, but no one in the kingdom knew that Todd, as king and pope, had sat alone in the audience room for a day.

As the door to the audience room was pushed open, Huggins hurried in, and when he saw Todd sitting in front of the window, he let out a long breath.

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing Huggins' voice, Todd turned his head and was about to speak, only to find that his dry throat could only make a hoarse murmur.

Huggins hurriedly lit the candlelight, found another glass of water, watched Todd drink it, and then said, "After the ceremony, you only showed your face at the palace celebration and left the venue......

"Did anything go wrong with the kingdom during my absence?"

Huggins was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "Not really, after the Protestant ceremony, the election of the first priests' assembly is proceeding in an orderly manner under the leadership of Father Moore and Monk Joe, the banquet held in the royal palace, after you are gone, Lord Emerson is in charge of the work and the guests of honor are happy, and the Raglan couple play the role of excellent organizers of the ten-day celebration in the city......

Todd smiled and nodded, "In my absence, everyone did a great job. ”

Huggins said excitedly, "Your Majesty, do you know? ”

"Title?"

"The Holy King of Twilight!"

Hearing this strange name, Todd was a little stunned.

Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Huggins began to explain: "The title of Saint King appeared once nine hundred years ago. As the second pope of the Most Orthodox Church, Habakak, the king of the Holy City of the East, defeated the army of the Southern Empire, which was ten times the strength of his own army, signed the Nermat Mountain Agreement, and initiated the purification of the Holy Church, which completely stabilized the turmoil in the Holy City at that time. Therefore, as the leader of the unity of church and state, Habakak is revered as the holy king of the world. ”

Todd nodded: "It turns out that there is such a history. ”

Huggins said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you may not understand the meaning of this, the title of Holy King has not been obtained by anyone in the next nine hundred years, and now people have given you this honor." This means that your actions have been able to match ......"

Todd waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "What Saint King, it's too famous." ”

Finding that Huggins was still trying to argue, Todd stood up and said to the former, "Don't talk about that, go out for a walk with me." ”

"I'm going to call the guards. ”

"No, no, just you and me. ”

"Your Majesty, this is not safe. ”

Todd ignored Huggins and walked straight out.

Outdoors, the city has become a sea of joy, with grand feasts filling the entire square, singing and dancing crowds, ignoring each other's identities, nationalities and beliefs, and gathering together to celebrate this special day.

Todd lowered his hood and took Huggins with him in the direction of the sister hotel.

As soon as the two of them walked into the hotel, the smell of wine and heat came to their faces.

The fireplace burns brightly, driving away the cold breath of the whole hotel, and the staggered banquets make the whole lobby look lively.

Distinguished guests who had once been at odds talked about each other at a wine table, and knights wearing different coats of arms were like brothers, talking and laughing.

Karin, who was busy entertaining customers, was slightly stunned when she saw Huggins walking through the door, and when she caught a glimpse of the black-robed man behind the other party, her whole person began to tremble.

Huggins leaned in closer, pointing behind him quietly.

The latter gave him a look of understanding, and while instructing Pamela to take his place, he led the way ahead and led the two to the attic on the top floor.

Pushing open the door of the attic, a simple but generous room appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Todd only took a cursory look at it and saw that the dΓ©cor and layout of this room were completely modeled after the style of the small building of Froststone Camp, which was supposed to be the work of Rachel.

Sitting at the table, Todd quietly lifted his hood and looked at the furniture in the room, with nostalgia and reluctance in his eyes.

"Your Majesty. Huggins whispered, "Let the hotel cooks prepare some food." ”

Looking up at Karin, who was at a loss, Todd said with a smile: "Prepare a meal for six people, don't bother too much, as long as you can eat enough." ”

Watching Karin, who had been pardoned, leave quickly, Huggins was a little puzzled.

Six people?

Todd looked at the scenery outside the window, stretched, and suddenly said, "Call little Jerry and Edgar too." ”

Huggins was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Half an hour later, there were five people seated at the table.

In addition to Todd and Huggins, there is little Jerry with a smile on his face, Edgar who is restless, and Karin who bows his head and is silent.

Todd glanced at the other four at the table, then at the empty seats beside him, and finally said, "I remember the time in the convent...... At that time, the six of us, as members of the heterogeneous assembly, supported each other, helped each other, and overcame one difficulty after another, which is why we have come to this day. ”

At this time, it dawned on Huggins that the sixth person was talking about Master Myris, Todd's master in the convent.

"At that time, I didn't dare to think about what the rest of the day would be?" Todd sighed as he looked at the steaming food on the table, "At that time, my greatest wish was to have a decent meal like I am now." ”

Edgar, who had a broken mouth, couldn't help but say: "But you are now the king, the Pope!"

Todd looked at the young man who had begun to grow a beard on his lips, remembered the funny words and deeds of the other party in the past days, and said with a smile: "At that time, did you think that one day you would become the scout co-captain of the Knights?

Edgar scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

Todd looked at little Jerry again: "That tall and thin cowardly kid who used to only follow me has now grown into a brave and warlike deputy head of the Knights."

The latter did not speak, but bowed his head respectfully to Todd.

"And you, my friend. Todd turned his gaze back to Huggins: "Your greatest treasure is to have a happy family." ”

Huggins sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for you, all of this would be in vain. ”

Todd finally looked at Karin, looking at the girl with whom he had been in the past, and for a moment he was speechless, but softly called out the other party's name: "Karin......"

Karin, who had been burying her face in her chest, suddenly choked up for no reason, and thousands of emotions turned into tears, which ran down the girl's cheeks and fell on the table.

Todd was a little flustered, he said with a wry smile: "I haven't said anything yet, why are you crying......"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Karin sobbed as she took a letter from her bosom, placed it on the table, and said intermittently, "Sister Rachel said...... If...... When you come to the store, you'll be ...... I'll leave this to you......"

Todd picked up the envelope and opened it to see a pair of earrings in the shape of water droplets, and nothing else.

Sitting in a chair and looking at the earrings in his hand, Todd was speechless for a long time.

Karin wiped her tears and whispered, "Sister Rachel has one more word for me to convey before leaving. ”

Todd looked up blankly and looked at Karin, "What?"

"Don't forget me. ”
