Chapter 349: The Real Cause of the Pope’s Illness
Aldrian finally saw the Pope in person. Many stories had been told about the current Pope.
Pope Claudius Maximus was a man full of compassion and love. His generosity toward the weak was well known, as he frequently gave to the poor and interacted with them. Because of this, he was popular among the populace and admired by many, including nobles.
Among the nobles, he also had a good relationship with many across the continent. Although, not all nobles had a great relationship with him due to differences in their principles, but he was still respected for his great leadership in the church.
Moreover, he was also one of the strongest cultivators on the continent, which was enough to earn respect from the masses, regardless of their background.
"Angelica?" The Pope’s hoarse voice resounded as he looked at her. Then, his gaze shifted to the figure standing next to her.
"Who is this?" he asked, trying to get up with difficulty.
"Be careful, Father. Don’t push yourself too much," Angelica said, wanting to help. However, Aldrian had already stepped forward, supporting the Pope by holding his upper body.
Once the Pope was settled against the headboard, he continued looking at Aldrian, who bowed slightly.
"This one here is named Aldrian, Your Holiness," he said.
"Father, he is the prophesied one! He is the one who will shine his light upon the continent!" Angelica said, her tone filled with encouragement.
Pope Claudius widened his eyes. When he looked at Aldrian again, he instinctively tried to stand, but Aldrian gently held him down, ensuring he remained in bed.
