For the next two days, Luo Mi stayed in his room, trying his best to avoid meeting Anos.
He found that as long as he didn’t see Anos communicating with other people in person, he wouldn’t have any strong possessive desire, so they just had to act separately.
Anos was afraid that he would be lonely, so he left many books from the Vatican for him.
Luo Mi felt sleepy as soon as he saw these boring religious texts, but he had to act as a devout believer in front of Anos. Thus, when Anos was around, he could only force himself to pretend to read and actually chat with the system.
As soon as Anos left, Luo Mi immediately threw the books aside and started playing cards with Luke.
Luke was the Silver Knight who sent John to the Holy City. He and Luo Mi had a brief friendship after sitting in the same carriage. He was also the knight Luo Mi was most familiar with besides Reinhardt. Anos wanted to bring Reinhardt with him when he went to work, so he left Luke to Luo Mi.
Luke didn’t know why, but after only a month or so of separation between him and His Highness, this succubus had gone from being a semi-captive to being His Highness’s dear friend. He looked at Luo Mi with a hint of jealousy: “How did you bewitch His Highness? One against three against four.”
Luo Mi still remembered this poor student, the Silver Knight, and said in a high and cold voice: “This is a talent, you can’t envy it. A pair of 5 with 9.”
Luke said sourly, “Why should I envy you? The Silver Knights are your highness’ most trusted subordinates, and that will never change. A pair of 10s with a king.”
Luo Mi touched his chin: “No.”
“You don’t even want this?” Luke sneered. Luke chased after him and played several cards in a row but was blocked by Luo Mi several times in the end. Finally, he turned the tables. Holding two cards that he couldn’t play, he looked at Luo Mi blankly, as if he couldn’t believe that he actually lost.
Luo Mi chuckled: “I’ve already told you that your IQ can’t beat mine.”
There were several types of card games in this world. The one they just played required that when two cards were played, one must bring a card that was larger than the other, which was a test of the card-playing method.
When Luo Mi played poker with his roommates in the university dormitory, he liked to DIY his own rules. Although he had never played with such rules before, he figured out the trick after using his brain, and he defeated Luke without leaving a single trace.
Luke still couldn’t accept that he was defeated by a little devil. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his forehead and a piece of paper was stuck on his forehead. Looking closely, there was a pig drawn on the paper.
Luo Mi said proudly: “Punishment.”
Luke held his breath and said, “It’s just luck. What’s the fun in playing this game? As servants of God, we should focus on improving our personal abilities.”
Luo Mi glanced at him and said, “Really? How many points did you get in the Sacred Texts exam? Isn’t your score lower than John’s?”
Luke was furious: “I passed the make-up exam!”
Luo Mi showed him a sympathetic look.
However, his focus was not on mocking Luke, but to ask carefully: “Are all the silver knights around Anos as loyal to him as you are?”
“Your Highness.” Luke emphasized before answering the following question, “Of course, each of us exists for Your Highness.”
Luo Mi blinked: “What if there is a conflict between His Holiness the Pope and His Royal Highness the Son of God?”
Luke immediately said in a high and cold voice: “Do you think such low-level rhetoric can stymie me? The Second Order of the Knights Templar is directly under His Majesty. This is an order issued by His Majesty himself. His Majesty’s will takes precedence even over our lives, the glory of the Church, and even His Majesty’s will.”
The glory and faith on his face at this moment were pure and genuine and only the pig-shaped note on his forehead destroyed the sacred atmosphere.
Luo Mi tilted his head and pondered slowly: “Angel Advent” magic had been leaked to the Imperial Princess. He considered several ways in which the secret could have leaked, and the Silver Knights was one of them. But if the Silver Knights were all loyal subordinates like Luke, there was no reason for them to collude with the Empire.
According to Luo Mi’s understanding, the Silver Knights were also known as the Knights Templar. The members of the first and second core knights were all orphans selected from the Vatican’s own monasteries and raised by the Vatican to ensure their loyalty to the Vatican. On the contrary, the bishops’ group was a mixed bag because it was too involved with the secular world.
But the bishop of Lothar, Ellis Podovar, was a radical secularist who was quite disgusted with the secular aristocracy, and it was even less likely that he would have any connection with the empire.
So how did the Empire know about this magic? How much did they know? Who was the target, Anos?
When Luo Mi thought that the empire might be coveting Anos, he felt uncomfortable because he was now extremely possessive of Anos.
Luo Mi leaned back on the sofa, hugged the balled-up clothes as a pillow, and muttered, “I really want to lock Anos in the room so that no one can see him.”
Luke’s hands trembled, and he looked at Luo Mi in shock, pointing at him with trembling fingers: “You, you…”
Luo Mi smiled at him innocently: “Nothing, I was just joking.”
Luke stared at him warily: “I will report to His Highness.”
Luo Mi waved his hand generously: “Go quickly, go now.”
Luke stood up angrily: “Do you think I dare not?”
….
“Yeah, I get it, it’s nothing.”
Anos’s calm voice came from the other end of the communicator, “Take good care of Lian.”
Luke couldn’t believe it: “Your Highness, you forgive his blasphemous words so easily?”
“Lian has some special reasons right now, just treat him as normal now.” Anos could vaguely hear someone calling him devoutly, but he didn’t explain in detail, “I’ll hang up first if there’s nothing else.”
Luke hung up the communicator and looked at Luo Mi who was now raising his chin proudly towards him, his mind a little dazed.
He sat back on the sofa and only came back to his senses after a while: “What happened between you and His Highness?”
Luo Mi said solemnly: “The secrets of the Church must not be leaked.”
Luke: “…”
Luo Mi felt that passively losing his mind when thinking of Anos was really not conducive to his flexible brain, so he asked: “Tonight is the blood moon, is the magic room ready?”
Luke said reluctantly, “It is prepared – you are just an ordinary demon. Even if the blood moon’s magic power is enhanced, there is no need to go through so much trouble.”
“It’s not prepared for me, it’s prepared for your Highness.” Luo Mi said deliberately, “I will stay in the room with your Highness for one night and take care no matter how loud the screams inside are, don’t open the door.”
Luke: “……?!”
