Chapter 395: You Can Do as You Please
Arabella rather had high expectations of him but if he was this rude despite being the leader of the Great Temple, maybe, he wasn’t that great after all.
"Ah, I see. What a pity. I’d love to have you both or at least one of you join the temple. I knew you both would decline. But I still decided to try," the Pope said, and his magicians were even more astonished.
[Their healing abilities were indeed very useful and valuable. But His Holiness could heal like that too if he wanted to do so. Does he really have to lower himself like this?]
The Pope’s magicians wondered if Alwin and Riley were truly worth the trouble for the Pope himself to be humble and invite him directly like this.
But to Arabella and everyone from Valeria, this was not humbleness but rudeness.
Poaching magicians was a thing even among the royals. Richeer kingdoms could poach the best magicians since they could offer more support and more power.
With the Great Temple influential in Eliora, they could indeed give among the greatest power and support to a mage on the continent.
But the Pope could have given his invitation in a more private setting. Not like this.
At least, the royals didn’t do it right in front of other royals like this. And in front of other people too.
