Wozworth had prepared a luxurious carriage for Qin Chu and selectively chose dozens of experts from the Imperial Palace Guard to escort him to the palace.
Angelica followed beside the carriage, seemingly wishing to depart with Qin Chu; she was now his personal maid, and Qin Chu was her master.
However, Augustus did not wish for Angelica to leave so easily.
"Angelica, wait a moment."
Angelica's body trembled slightly, her complexion still somewhat pale as she turned to look back at the Pope. As clever as Angelica was, she already knew what was about to happen.
"Mr. Brave, Angelica still has some personal belongings in the Church that she needs to collect, is that alright?" Augustus asked Qin Chu with a smile.

Qin Chu clearly understood what Augustus was trying to do, simply to brainwash Angelica, hoping she could replace Rose Vesper and manipulate him; he nodded easily, "Of course."
