Chapter 396: I Know Who It Is [Bonus - ]
There were whispers here and there at the rare chance to be invited into the Great Temple by the Pope himself without any "special" reason.
The Pope only visited rulers or summoned their representatives to the Great Temple when he had to meddle in something. Such as, for instance, when the priests and believers in a territory were condemned or treated badly by the ruling power.
A visit or summons from the Pope usually meant the rulers in a territory did something wrong that caught his attention or something was going on in the said territory that the Great Temple had to meddle.
’He never visited Crux or other kingdoms with slavery though.’
It made Arabella wonder why he didn’t visit those places.
’Or was it because there were no believers of the same faith there?’
The Great Temple was on the opposite side of the Grand Palace, but they were right next to each other.
Arabella encountered priests, bishops, and cardinals in her previous life. But never the Pope.
This was the first time she saw the Pope and entered the Great Temple.
