The Unryeonggyo Seonghwangcheong and St. Agnes Church were busy since dawn.

The priests were busy moving items here and there and arranging them nicely, and the knights were meticulously inspected to make sure that there was no disruption to discipline.

It was a day that required more intense labor and concentration than usual. Nevertheless, they all seemed secretly excited.

Even though it was not a holiday, the air throughout St. Agnes Church told them that today was a very special day.

The lawn in the backyard was a good place to enjoy the sunlight. Young boys and girls in priestly robes who had finished their morning work were taking a break and chatting away.

“Is it today?”

“Yes, it is definitely today.”

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Me too, me too!”

The young apprentice priests all seemed to know what day it was. However, the youngest girl in the group just tilted her head, not knowing what was going on.

The child had not been in the attached orphanage for long, so she didn’t know much about St. Agnes Church.

In a place like this, it was obvious what a child should do. She had to eat well, sleep well, follow her older sister and brother around, and ask them questions when she had questions.

The diligent child did not postpone her work. She grabbed the hem of the priest’s older sister’s clothes with her small hands and asked.

“Sister, sister. What day is it today? It’s not even a holiday, but everyone is acting strange.”

“Oh, that’s right! Daisy doesn’t know!”

It was a joy to teach others what one knew. Everyone kindly explained to Daisy with shining eyes.

“The Pope and the Master of the Holy Sword are going to visit the Holy See after a long time!”

“That’s right! They both took a year-long vacation together!”

“What’s a vacation, you idiot? It’s called a sabbatical year.”

“Anyway! Since today is the last day of the Sabbath, we are all looking forward to your visit, even if it is only for a short while.”

Daisy became one of the ‘everyone’ immediately after hearing the explanation. The child’s eyes sparkled.

“Then can I see the Pope and the Knight of the Holy Sword in person today?!”

“Yes!”

“Wow! Wow!”

The excited child cheered and ran around the lawn.

At that moment, a voice was heard from behind the beautiful tree where they were.

“As expected, everyone is excited. Well, it makes sense since it’s only been a year since they got married and are showing up.”

“Wow!”

“Surprise! There’s someone!”

“Huh? That person is......!”

“It’s the blond brother!”

“It’s Sir Iphael of the Silver Citadel!”

The apprentice priests found the young man who was leaning against the wooden pillar and lying down like a bum and gathered around.

Ipeil, who had grown his beautiful blond hair long and tied it up in a ponytail. He was popular as a knight who was unusually kind to children.

“How long have you been there?”

“I got here before you guys and was taking a nap. By the way, kids, do you want some lollipops?”

“Yes!”

“Come on, take one.”

“You’re handsome, bro!”

“But I won’t give you another one.” 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

“You’re ugly, bro!”

“Hey, give it back!”

Boys and girls, each holding a colorful lollipop in their mouths, sat in a circle around Ipeil. Little Daisy sat on Ipeil’s lap.

It was a time when they were talking about the Pope and the Master of the Holy Sword.

It was natural for Ipeil, who was famous as a friend of the two heroes, to want to hear an interesting story.

“Did Lord Ipeil attend the wedding of the two?”

“Oh, of course. We held a quiet ceremony at the chapel in the palace, inviting only our relatives. Cardinal Cattleya officiated.”

“How was it? How was it?”

“They both came out with all their might from head to toe. I remember the artists who were invited that day crying because they were so moved by the sight of them.”

“Wow.”

“Tell me more!”

Ipael recalled the wedding of Aylet and Tesilid a year ago.

He thought there was no more dazzling outfit in the world than the ceremonial dress Aylet wore when she was crowned Pope, but it wasn’t.

The strange dress, which he didn’t know where she got it from, seemed to have been made by cutting down the splendor of spring, and a gorgeous flower festival was taking place on the silk hem.

In addition, the veil, which was as long as the hem of the dress, seemed to have folded its wings and dragged them along.

Since Aylet, who was already a beauty who caught people's attention, wore something like that, the wedding hall was naturally chaotic.

As mentioned earlier, the renowned artists who were invited to work on the portraits shed tears, and it was common for the guests to be mesmerized by the sight, and even Leonard, who usually loved his son-in-law, got angry and said that our daughter should live with her father for the rest of her life, and was scolded by Elthea.

Of course, the groom, Tesilid, was not dressed neatly. The beautiful pure white dress decorated with gold and jewels sparkled under the light of the chandelier.

The handsome man who shook hearts and broke even the barrier of taste wrapped his entire body in sparkles, and the guests kept gasping for breath throughout the ceremony.

It was later revealed that Aylet's dress and Tesilid's dress were made by King Celestide of Binchester for Olke and his younger brother.

It is said that Queen Dowager Labiosa helped, but the truth is unknown.

A bride with pink hair in a gorgeous dress. And a groom with silver hair in a pure white robe.

The union of the two seemed like a scene from a fairy tale, but the end of the wedding ceremony was not very suitable for children.

The open-minded Unryeong Church had them exchange rings and kiss as a pledge, just like any other wedding.

When the seats were set, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° the Pope and the Master of the Holy Sword felt embarrassed, and in their own way, they pulled out the bride’s veil and covered their heads to hide the embarrassing scene.

However, the translucent mesh only accentuated the strange atmosphere by making the silhouette subtle.

“Wow, that happened a year ago already.”

When Ipheil finished reminiscing, the boys and girls chattered and expressed their feelings.

“It’s really amazing.”

“That’s right. The Pope and the Master of the Holy Sword are getting married.”

“Yeah, yeah. I didn’t know they were like that. That’s amazing.”

The boys and girls who looked to be in their third year of apprenticeship were all talking in unison. Ipeil couldn’t help but be puzzled.

“Huh? Why is that amazing?”

The kids answered each other amicably.

“Huh? Well, you’re the Pope and the Master of the Holy Sword. You’re the two most holy people in the world.”

“That’s right. It feels so blasphemous to look at those people from the perspective of an ordinary man and woman!”

“Besides, the Master of the Holy Sword is famous as the guardian of the Seven Pillars. Even his face looks like the embodiment of abstinence.......”

“What? Abstinence?”

Ipeil couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hey, kids these days don’t know. ‘Peron’s Refuge’.......”

“Peron’s Refuge?”

“Yes. Just know that they were no joke even before they started dating.”

Ifail briefly pondered whether strengthening historical education was urgent, then chuckled.

“Well, they were respectful in the church for their social status and appearance. But now that they’re married, I don’t know.”

At that moment, a commotion was felt in the courtyard. Just as I was wondering what was going on, someone shouted from afar.

“Everyone, His Holiness Pope Ailet and His Eminence Cardinal Tesilid just arrived in the courtyard! Let’s all go greet them!”

“Really?!”

“Sir Ifail, let’s go too!”

The apprentice priests tugged at Ifail’s arm and hurried his steps.

Soon, he could see a beautiful man and woman walking in a straight line across the courtyard.

“Wow.......”

“Wow.......”

The eyes of the boys and girls were filled with admiration.

The Pope, with her side hair braided and half-tied, seemed to have just emerged from the Holy Spirit. Her ceremonial attire was the most plain of all the Pope’s, but it still revealed her transcendence.

She had the dignity of a goddess, who seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the throne, and the affectionate atmosphere that seemed to be patting the heads of children.

Her eyes, which seemed to have been inlaid with peridot, turned to the apprentice priests.

The right hand that waved goodbye was gentle and kind, unlike the one that once slew the Demon King.

A boy snorted and said,

“I, I just made up my mind. When I grow up, I’m going to be a knight who protects His Holiness the Pope!”

“......There’s another one today. There are many children who decide their futures like that. But our His Holiness the Pope is the one who protects others.”

Epheil told the truth, but the boy seemed not to hear it.

Meanwhile, Daisy, who was riding on Ipeil’s shoulder, stared blankly at the owner of the Holy Sword.

The most suitable man to escort and protect the Pope. The destructive power of his sculptural beauty was effective even on a child who had not yet established a sense of beauty.

“Wow, he must be a prince.......”

“He is indeed royalty.”

Anyway, the Pope and the owner of the Holy Sword crossed the courtyard, showing off their greatness and beauty.

It was just a simple movement, but to the people, it seemed as if they were witnessing a sacred religious ceremony.

Regardless, they were just having a normal conversation as usual.

“Terry, I’m hot.”

“Hold on. You said you wouldn’t take that cloak off in front of others.”

“Haa, you should have worn the harness to neutralize the effect.”

“Didn’t I say that? That’s more dangerous.”

“Hey, what’s the danger? I’m winning?”

“I’m in danger.”

“Oh, that’s welcome.”

The excellent senses of the knights unintentionally overheard the conversation between the Pope and the Master of the Holy Sword. Among them was Ipeil.

‘What are you talking about in the church, you guys!’
