Li Chengdao's words made Princess Anna feel disheartened and powerless.
She didn't even know how she got back to her residence. Her mind was blank.
This time, she put down all her dignity and even used her body as a bargaining chip to plead with Li Chengdao, but he ignored her.
This was a huge blow to her. Her remaining dignity had been completely trampled on.
In the residence of Princess Anna and Queen Sophia, the Pope happened to visit them today.
Seeing Princess Anna return with tears on her face, the two of them were shocked.
Anna, what's wrong with you?"
Queen Sophia immediately stood up and asked, her eyes full of worry.
Princess Anna forced a smile and said,""It's nothing. I just went to meet the Emperor of the Qian Kingdom.”
"Why did you go to see His Majesty the Emperor? You didn't do anything out of line, right?”
The Pope was shocked and asked anxiously.
He was clear about Princess Anna's hatred for Li Chengdao, which was why he was so shocked when he heard that she went to see Li Chengdao.
If Princess Anna did something rude like last time, even he couldn't protect her.
After a moment of silence, Princess Anna said,""Father was beheaded by him in public. I went to ask him to bury my father's body.”
"I used serving him as a condition to request him. I didn't do anything out of line or rude.”
The Pope's eyes widened.
Queen Sophia was also shocked.
"Then, did he agree?”
The Pope immediately quivered and asked impatiently after he came back to his senses, his eyes sparkling.
Princess Anna's face turned pale, and a trace of humiliation flashed in her eyes. She said with difficulty,""He refused…No, he ignored me."
Hearing Princess Anna's answer, the Pope was disappointed. He said regretfully,""What a pity."
The living environment of the Church was too harsh.
Even though he and Li Chengdao had reached a temporary cooperation, it was only because the Holy See was still useful.
Now that the Holy See had submitted to Li Chengdao and submitted to the imperial power, its status in the hearts of the people had greatly declined.
In the future, if Li Chengdao were to target and weaken the Church's power, they would have no room to resist.
If Princess Anna could really enter Li Chengdao's harem, then she could become a link to reverse the relationship between the two parties.
At that time, the Holy See would not have to be so passive.
Unfortunately, Li Chengdao didn't seem to be interested in Princess Anna. He didn't even want her to come to him, which made the Pope feel sorry.
What a waste of a great opportunity!
"Could it be that he prefers more mature women? He could find an opportunity to ask Sophia to test the waters.”
The Pope couldn't help but glance at Queen Sophia, who was beside him.
Although she was over 30 years old and had a daughter, Anna, Queen Sophia was still beautiful and had a seductive mature charm.
Princess Anna had already suffered a great blow. After hearing the Pope's words, an indescribable anger rose in her heart.
"I put down all my dignity and wanted to get back my father's body, but you only thought about how to send me to the bed of the Great Qian Emperor!”
Princess Anna looked at the Pope, her blue eyes misty and filled with disappointment.
" That's because you don't understand how difficult the situation of the Holy See is!" The Pope frowned and said in a deep voice.”
"I used the future of the Church in exchange for the lives of you and the Crusaders of the Church. As the Holy Maiden of the Church, you have the responsibility to contribute to the future of the Church!
Only when you become the empress of the Great Qian Emperor can the Holy See escape its decline!”
The Pope's tone was extremely stern.
Anna was not only a princess, but also a Holy Maiden of the Church.
Her mother, Queen Sophia, was the previous generation's Saint!
Since she enjoyed the glory and convenience of being a saintess, the Pope felt that she had the responsibility to contribute to the Church.
Even his granddaughter and daughter were no exception!
The Pope paused, then looked at Princess Anna and said in an inexplicable tone,""On the day your father's body was beheaded, he was given a lavish burial by the emperor.”
"What?"
Princess Anna widened her eyes in disbelief.
Her father's body had actually been buried?
How was this possible?
The corpse of a former emperor could intimidate countless people. Some emperors would even preserve the head of a powerful opponent as a trophy!
This was a common occurrence in any era.
Li Chengdao, on the other hand, only beheaded him to demonstrate his strength before burying him. How could a tyrant who had killed 400,000 soldiers do such a thing?
Princess Anna couldn't imagine that Li Chengdao would be so magnanimous, even merciful!
The Pope's gaze was somewhat complicated as he said,"" I was also very puzzled. I specifically asked him this question. Why didn't he leave the corpse behind to intimidate the nobles and the people? He only said one sentence.”
"What words?" Princess Anna bit her lips and asked.
"I don't need it."
The Pope let out a long breath and repeated the words that had left a deep impression on him.
He deeply remembered Li Chengdao's confident and proud demeanor when he said this. It was simply awe from the bottom of his heart.
Li Chengdao's boldness and magnanimity had convinced him. This had nothing to do with his standpoint, it was just pure charisma.
"This Great Qian Emperor is an emperor who is even more powerful than your father. He is the most outstanding person I have ever seen. It is not a shame to enter his harem, but your luck.”
"Even if your father lost to him, he was truly convinced in his heart. He was like this until his death. They were true opponents. You shouldn't hate him.”
The Pope's words made Princess Anna lose her mind, and her eyes were blurred by tears again.
His father had died with dignity.
The Pope glanced at Anna, shook his head, and left.
Queen Sophia watched the Pope leave with mixed feelings.
She hugged Princess Anna and comforted her silently.
