Chapter 103: Heaven
"So, is such a magical palace inhabited?"
Although the dream was not ordinary, Elizabeth did not hesitate for too long before stepping inside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The walls, windows, reliefs, frescoes and furnishings of the palace are still filled with sweets and delicacies.
All kinds of aromas came to the nose, and there was a faint sound of music coming from the depths of the palace.
It was a cheerful and mysterious music with organs and bells as the main instruments, which seemed to be in keeping with the style of music used in the more high-end circuses.
It makes people feel lazy and relaxed as soon as they hear it.
Her Royal Highness listened carefully to the music as she walked along the black and white chocolate-paved tiles in the direction where the music came.
According to common sense, it was the direction of the main dormitory of the palace.
There were no obstacles along the way.
Soon, Her Royal Highness arrived at a thick gate made of large sweet biscuits.
Still without hesitation, she pushed the door open.
She finally saw someone.
On a large bed made of marshmallows and gummies inlaid with various shiny fruit candy "gems", a man with a crooked crown and a shirtless body lies casually.
At the bedside, several handsome teenagers in light gauze shirts and silk pants stood beside them, carrying bowls, pots, fruits, and sweet wine.
Two beautiful girls were sitting on the edge of the bed, one fanning the man with a fan, and the other was putting a huge grape into the man's mouth.
The princess was stunned.
It wasn't until the man noticed her presence and pushed the girls away to stand up that Elizabeth spoke: "Is it really you?" β
"My child, are you here?"
The man was Wright V.
But at this moment, Wright V is full of muscles, full of blood, ruddy complexion, young in appearance, and full of energy.
Where is the appearance of that old man who is sick on weekdays, and who looks like he is about to die?
If it weren't for the fact that he was Elizabeth's father, I am afraid that someone else would not have recognized him at all.
But she didn't rush up to recognize each other.
The princess knew that this dream was not ordinary, and she would not believe that the other party must be her father as soon as she came.
Because his father should be imprisoned in the imperial capital of Wright at this time, how could he appear in such a strange dream space.
Perhaps this is some kind of conspiracy of the Holy See, some kind of magic of unknown meaning against itself.
Cautious by nature, she asked many details that only Wright V knew.
The man nodded approvingly and responded to the questions one by one.
There was not much time, and Elizabeth had basically believed that the other party was her father.
Both of them were very excited, especially Her Royal Highness the Princess, who even wanted to hug her father and cry.
But in the end, she suppressed the urge.
Kneeling on one knee and bowing deeply, the princess said, "May God bless you mostly, my majesty." β
Wright V shook his head helplessly and said, "What a stupid boy. β
He stepped forward and lifted his beloved daughter to her feet and said, "And God has given me the greatest blessing." β
The princess was puzzled by her father's words, and she wondered, "God...... Have you been blessed? β
When Wright V heard this, he pointed to the wonderful candy palaces and the beautiful young men and women around him, and said, "What do you think this place is?" β
"Is it ......?"
Looking at his daughter's strange look, Wright V said directly: "That's right, although it may not be the same as you imagined." But this is the legendary paradise. β
Although she had already guessed that her father would say this, Elizabeth still felt that this incident had turned her perception upside down.
"You're trying to tell me that heaven really exists?"
Wright V nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's amazing, isn't it?" If I hadn't actually come here, I wouldn't have believed it. β
He waved his hand as he spoke, and several young men and women came over with glasses full of mulled wine and plates full of fruit, and brought a chair made of fudge from nowhere, wanting to serve Elizabeth to sit down and eat, drink, and rest.
But Her Royal Highness's attention was already on her father: "So, how did you get here?" Since you say this is heaven, don't you ......?"
Seeing his daughter's concern, Wright V quickly replied, "How did you appear here...... I don't know very well. But don't worry, at first I thought I was dead like you. Until the oracle told me that my life had not come to an end. So...... My decrepit body in the material world, riddled with tatters and diseases, is probably in a coma? β
"Oracle?"
"I'll start with you."
Wright V sat back on the bed: "At the beginning, I appeared in a barren and monotonous land. I didn't know where I was going and started looking for people, cities, or anything like that. But the scenery and the sky have always been the same, so I made marks on the ground. β
"Are those four-stone markers?"
The princess thought of the signpost that would lead her to the place when she came.
"That's right." The Emperor nodded, and continued, "I don't know how long I have been walking in this wilderness, maybe months, maybe years, and I'm going crazy. β
The princess felt distressed when she thought of the stone "road signs" that had been so rich in forks in the road that there was no end in sight.
The Emperor paused, as if remembering something, and then continued, "Until I begin to pray." β
"Pray?"
"Yes. I've never believed in God, just like I've never believed in the old bastards of the Holy See. But this monotonous world dissolved my ungodly mind cleanly. I can't remember what day it was, but before I felt like I was going completely crazy, I finally tried to pray to God. β
As he spoke, Wright V took the glass from the tray in the hand of the young man with the glass, drank the wine from it, and continued: "So I received a responseβthe oracle said that I was his servant, and that God had given me to be king in this life, and to enjoy all the glory and riches. But because I was not religious, I was tortured by illness, and I was conspired by villains, so I fell here. Later, God asked me what I wanted. At that time, what I was trying to pray for was an oasis. Oases should have wide branches for shade, cool spring water to moisten the throat, and a gentle and dry wind to make people comfortable. β
"And after that?"
"After that, such an oasis appeared."
Wright V smiled and said, "I've been living in it for a few days, and I'm not very satisfied. So I prayed for a feast of abundance, for a faithful servant...... I've been living here for a long time. I have also prayed for houses made of gold, sandy beaches paved with precious stones, and cities made of porcelain. And finally here's the palace made of candy. As insatiable as I was, God answered and gave me everything. The oracle concluded by telling me that this was a paradise for the pious and a hell for the unbelievers. In the meantime, blessed devout believers like me can enjoy such a luxurious and perfect life, while for those who deserve to go to hell, this is for them nothing but a pool of blood and fire that smells of sulfur. β
Although she still felt a little untrue and suspicious, after learning that her father's body was still uncertain at this time, but his soul was already living in heaven, Her Royal Highness felt that her heart was at least a little relieved.
But she still couldn't feel happy: "Father, I have one thing I want to ask for your guidance. β
"Say, my dear daughter."
"I am now facing a threat from the Holy See. Since both God the Father and Heaven really exist, what do I do now? β
As she spoke, she also told the other party everything that happened during this time.
Although in front of Yuli and other subordinates, she was wrapped in the heavy shell of "perfect princess", but when she really came to her father, Elizabeth finally showed a little bit of the fragile posture of a teenage girl.
She was looking for comfort and guidance.
Wright V listened attentively to the end, and then replied without hesitation: "Naturally, you are going to cooperate with the Holy See." β
"Yes...... Is that so? β
The princess was very disappointed with this answer.
