After the Supreme Pontiff arrived, Wang Gui, Su Dingfang, and the others took their leave.
Because the relationship between them and the Pope was not good.
After all, the Holy See under the control of the Pope was the biggest enemy that hindered the rule of the Great Qian Empire.
Although he was helping them now, this relationship could not be changed in a short period of time.
Li Chengdao didn't have such prejudice. He smiled faintly and said,""The Church has been performing very well these days. I am very satisfied.”
Hearing Li Chengdao's praise, the Supreme Pontiff was somewhat terrified.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. This is only what I should do.”
At this point, he opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"If you have something to say, just say it.”
Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows and said directly.
"It's like this. I've already completed your orders regarding my daughter and granddaughter." The Pope was slightly perturbed.
The Pope came today because of Queen Sophia and Princess Anna.
Li Chengdao suddenly understood. He had been too busy these few days and had forgotten to promise the Pope.
However, since the Pope had mentioned this matter, he naturally would not go back on his word.
"Bring Queen Sophia and Princess Anna here.”
Li Chengdao ordered the pen-wielding eunuch.
The latter acknowledged respectfully and then left.
Li Chengdao had someone bring tea to the Pope, and then he read the memorial on the dragon table.
Soon, under the escort of two royal guards, Queen Sophia and Princess Anna were brought to the royal study.
Suddenly coming out of the dungeon and being brought to the enemy who destroyed her country, Queen Sophia was extremely frightened and flustered.
Her beautiful and charming face turned pale, and her voluptuous body could not stop trembling.
However, Princess Anna was completely different. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Li Chengdao.
"You tyrant! Demons! Why aren't you dead yet?!"
It was Li Chengdao's first time seeing Princess Anna. He didn't expect her to be so unyielding. She dared to scold him the moment they met. He couldn't help but take a second look at her.
This princess was a little bold.
The Pope turned pale with fright and hurriedly went forward to berate him sternly,"Don't be rude to His Majesty the Holy Emperor!”
After scolding Princess Anna, he bowed deeply to Li Chengdao and said,""Your Majesty, please forgive Anna's offense. I beg for your forgiveness on her behalf.”
Li Chengdao's decisiveness and iron-blooded methods had been deeply imprinted in the Supreme Pontiff's heart.
Princess Anna dared to offend Li Chengdao like this, which made him break out in cold sweat!
"It's fine. Take them away. Zhen will arrange for them to stay in the palace.”
"Without Zhen's permission, they cannot leave the palace, but you can visit them at any time.”
Li Chengdao waved his hand and said casually.
In his two lives, Princess Anna was just a little brat in his eyes. He was not that petty.
Moreover, he still needed them to stabilize the Pope and make him work for him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Pope felt like he had been pardoned. He quickly got up and pulled Queen Sophia and Princess Anna out of the royal study.
.........
"Are you crazy just now? Do you know how much effort I put in to save your lives?”
After leaving the royal study, the pope dragged the two of them to a quiet corner and scolded Princess Anna in a very strict tone.
"Grandfather, this tyrant is the enemy who destroyed our country! How can you bow to him? You are the Pope!"
Princess Anna retorted angrily.
The Pope had humbly bowed to Li Chengdao and begged him, which shocked her greatly, but at the same time, she was furious.
The Pope lowered his eyes and sighed,""The Holy See has already acknowledged the rule of Great Qian Empire.”
"From now on, the entire Church, including me, must bow to the imperial power.”
" What?!"
Princess Anna was shocked as if she had heard a thunderbolt.
Even the Holy See, which had an extraordinary status, submitted to the Blood Emperor.
Princess Anna suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
Queen Sophia was also surprised, but she was even more surprised by the other piece of news that the Pope had told her.
"Father, isn't the Blood Emperor planning to kill us?”
" Don't worry," the Pope shook his head." You're safe now."”
Queen Sophia and Princess Anna found it hard to believe that Li Chengdao did not kill them.
"Could it be that he wants to…"
Queen Sophia grabbed her clothes in front of her chest, and her eyes were a little flustered.
Not only was she the daughter of the Pope, but she was also the most beautiful woman in the entire Byzantine Empire.
Li Chengdao not killing her made her think of something else.
It was not uncommon for a dynasty to usurp the empress of the previous dynasty.
"He only wanted me to control the Church to serve him, so he didn't kill you.”
The Pope glanced at Queen Sophia and Princess Anna.
"However, if he really takes a fancy to you and takes you into his harem, it might not be a bad thing for you.”
He really had such a plan.
Especially Princess Anna. In his opinion, she was the best marriage partner for Li Chengdao.
It was just that the iron-fisted emperor might not be interested.
Queen Sophia blushed and lowered her head.
At this time, Princess Anna suddenly asked,""How is Father?"
They were kept separately in the dungeon, and neither of them knew about Heraclius's death.
"He was beheaded. It's impossible for him to survive.”
The Pope shook his head and sighed.
The relationship between him and Heraclius was not that good. The Church and the royal family were always on opposing sides.
However, he still felt some regret for Heracles 'death.
Hearing the bad news, Queen Sophia and Princess Anna's faces turned pale.
"This tyrant!"
Princess Anna gritted her teeth, and her beautiful blue eyes were filled with tears.
"The Byzantine Empire is already in the past. Since you're still alive, you should cherish your lives. This is all I can do." The Pope said with a blank face.”
"Stay in the palace. I'll visit you when I have time.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Only a dazed Queen Sophia and a crying Princess Anna were left behind.
