Chapter 235: A Reunion after 2 years 1

“Wah! Long live the pope!”

“Long live our pope!”

At last, the pope had got out of the wagon.

Luke, who got mixed with the soldiers who were cheering, stepped forward.

A little further, and he could finally confirm whether Pope Veronica III was really his Reina.

At first, Luke tried to check it through mana.

Even if the people there weren’t wizards, each individual had their own mana waves.

However, for a human who didn’t have a developed mana circle, checking the weak mana waves was a troublesome task.

What was more, it was harder to find as there were thousands of soldiers around.

If there was a way for him to confirm, it was to approach her as close as he could.

Luke narrowed the distance and finally got a chance to see the pope who was being escorted by Marquis Valentino.

But with just ten steps left to get close, he couldn’t help but stop.

The paladins, who were blocking the front, were like iron walls.

‘Are these men the Saint Guard?’

Their bodies itself seemed very strong.

They were actually one of Luke’s favorite knights, but they were just being an annoyance to Luke now.

If he could, he would have blown them up, but Luke just stared at the pope.

‘This…!’

The pope was wearing a veil over her head, making it very hard for Luke to even make out her face.

Because of the dizzy energy of the crowd, mana waves were still hard to detect.

Right when Luke continued to look for other means.

Tang!

A sharp arrow popped out from the crowd.

The arrow, which was flying quickly after being released from the bow, was aimed at the pope.

Kang!

A momentary burst of fire blew in the air. The arrow quickly bounced off to a vacant spot.

In front of the pope was a young man with a plunged physique. He blocked the arrow and relayed his commands.

“Protect the pope!”

Orders fell from Arch Duke Gregory. The Saint Guards, who were close to the Pope, surrounded her in no time. In addition, the paladins scattered immediately and searched for a person who had invaded their peaceful meeting.

“Do not stand! On the floor! Fall on the floor!”

“Hick! No, it wasn’t me!”

“Do not move! Any suspicious person will be immediately considered as an assassin!”

The soldiers all went flat on the ground like frogs. They were scared of the Saint Guards.

Luke lay down as well. In that situation, if he immediately left the place, he could have been framed, and then he would have gotten brought into something very tiring.

‘Dammit, what is this now!?’

With the loss of Eisenberg, the prevailing Konrad Kingdom might have tried to assassinate her with unclear thoughts and ideas.

But in that very situation, Luke was critically trying to make sure if the pope was Reina!
