Grand Lust Sovereign-Chapter 128: Aurelian Theocracy

After spending the whole day, Julien introduced Amelia and Jackie to Lorene.

They had a good conversation over dinner and spent the night there, leaving the next day for the Aurelian Theocracy.

The Vermilion Empire prioritized muscles which neither Julien nor Jackie or Amelia possessed.

The Aurelian Theocracy on the other hand would be better for them all due to Amelia's holy background.

The journey from his aunt's place to the Aurelian Theocracy was long, taking about two days.

When the party arrived in the Holy Capital Aurelia, they saw long spires of cathedrals, knights roaming about freely between the common folks, and a lot of pilgrims.

The city was engulfed in a golden hue, that being a defensive barrier.

"It's the blessing of god." Amelia commented as she saw the barrier.

She wasn't wrong. It indeed was a blessing from the gods and not something made by the people of this world.

Except her who was in a priestess robe, Julien, and Jackie were dressed as wealthy individuals, looking around.

One was free to enter the theocracy as they wished. All they had to do was pay an entrance, state their purpose of entry, and number of days they would be staying.

This was a common practice for foreigners.

In Julien's case however he did not have to go through such customs.

Lorene had given him a token. Showing it at the entrance let him pass without a hitch.

The guards also gave him a different badge signifying he was an important guest.

Due to the badge and their wealthy appearance, most avoided approaching them for any reason whatsoever.

Since they were new and did not know their way around, they followed the tall golden spire visible from any place they were at.

That should be the place where the grand cathedral was, the one housing the Pope and the many Cardinals.

Being fairly new, the three walked in crowded areas and followed the pilgrims.

Along the way, many gazed at Amelia, who seemed to be standing out due to the bright color of her robes and peculiar blindfold.

Though none approached and went about their ways.

A while later.

A group of Templar Knights arrived and asked the people to make way.

The clamor of galloping horses resounded in everyone's ears as a group of carriages passed by.

They had the insignia of the Vermilion Empire.

Within the carriage, a tall boy with fiery red hair sat by the window, absentmindedly staring at the commoners.

Ever since his elimination from the tutorial's last stage, Christopher had been deathly quiet. He did not speak to even his family, and this worried them greatly.

Who did he encounter? Who reduced him to such a state? Nothing was known to the Ingress Family as Christopher never spoke about it.

Despite his silence, Christopher never slacked a day after that.

He worked harder and entered the tutorial again, passing with flying colors and quickly ascended the floors, reaching Floor 23 all on his own.

Most kids of rich background hired a bodyguard to clear the floors, but Christopher wasn't like them.

The defeat in the tutorial had made a hole in his pride, and he wanted to be self-reliant ever since that day.

He was short of clearing two more floors to reach the safe zone, but his family had other plans and called him out of the Tower.

As he was strong enough physically, he was to accompany his uncle in a diplomatic meeting with the Aurelian Theocracy's officials to get a hang of politics.

He belonged to the mighty Ingress family who were the rulers of the Vermilion Empire.

He had a strong and powerful position due to being the direct descendant of the Emperor, and was given a lot of attention.

Currently, he sat in a carriage with his uncle, a man with no hair and a curly mustache on his face. He wore a monocle and had his arms folded, flexing off his bulky muscles.

The man was a warrior, not any weaker than the Emperor himself!

With no thoughts in his head, Christopher continued to stare outside.

He could see the Templar Knights clearing the way for their carriages.

The commoners were shoved aside, but didn't seem to mind, and watched the Vermilion Empire's insignia with awe.

This was an ordinary sight for royalty like Christopher, until…

"Huh?"

Christopher was suddenly wide awake as he saw a brownish orange-haired boy in an elegant outfit.

His voice alerted his uncle, who glanced at him.

Christopher's shock made him put his head out of the window and look at the boy again.

"It is him!'"

"It really is him!!"

Christopher cried out.

"Stop the carriage!!!" He shouted on top of his lungs.

The carriage immediately halted.

Christopher jumped out of his carriage like a madman and rushed to find the brownish orange-haired boy.

"Christopher!" The mustached man was shocked by the sudden change of his nephew and got out of the carriage as well.

A group of powerful Templar Knights gathered around him, ready to attack if he pulled out anything funny.

The man watched Christopher run away helplessly. He knew he had a lot of explaining to do for an outburst such as this and said, "Gentlemen, there seems to be a misunderstanding. It is not what it looks like…"

…..

Standing in the crowd, Julien gazed at the passing carriages.

Suddenly, he saw a head with bright red hair pop out of a random carriage's window.

The boy was looking in their direction.

Suddenly, his face turned to that of shock and he shouted, "It is him!"

It was as if the boy had just found his mortal enemy!

And the situation wasn't wrong.

"Shit. Run!" Julien immediately held Amelia's hand and ran from the crowd.

Jackie figured out the situation as well and ran away.

Christopher couldn't sit still.

He jumped out of the carriage and ran behind them too.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! I knew something was definitely up!" Julien cursed out loud.

Lately, his luck hadn't acted up. It felt quite suspicious, but now Julien knew why.

His luck was waiting and letting him have a good time so it could stack and fuck him up in the worst possible ways!

That boy that was running towards him was Christopher Ingress!

He didn't forget his face or name because he was there when Julien had his first encounter with Jackie.

Jackie was almost beaten to death by him in the tutorial.

If Julien could remember, Jackie could as well. Her memory was sharp and she never forgot her foes, a trait of a master assassin.

"Stop running! I said stop running!" Christopher yelled on top of his lungs as he chased after Julien's party.

The situation was not going well.

Christopher was behind them, but behind him were a group of Templar Knights.

"Please stop at once or we'll be forced to take action!" The knights instructed.

In such an unfavorable situation, Julien knew he couldn't fight.

He did not plan to do it either way.

Julien turned to the nearby Templar Knights and shouted, "Pleass, help us! That evil man from the Empire is after our lives! Help us, god! Help us!" Julien did his best to act as pitiful as he could.

When the people around heard that Christopher was from the Empire, they panicked and began screaming and running.

The Theocracy was at war with the Empire. To have the enemy infiltrate so deep, it was bound to make them panic.

"Stop at once!" The Templar Knights were under great pressure.

For some reasons, things were not going well for them.

It was a simple job of escorting the Empire officials to the Grand Cathedral but there had been a major problem.

One of the Empire officials was chasing an esteemed guest of the Theocracy. This was not good.

The Templar Knights did their best to run as fast as they could and stop Christopher.

Soon, Templar Knights from all directions came rushing.

A group held Julien's party while another restrained Christopher.

"Don't stop me! Let me go! Let me go!" Christopher cried out and stared at Jackie with absolute madness.

"Please don't make this difficult for us, Mr. Christopher. Please chant the lord's loving name and calm yourself." The Templar Knights suggested.

"Noooo!" Christopher was angry. Really angry. He thrashed around and did his best to get away from the hold of these guys and capture Jackie.

At this moment, a bald man with a huge build appeared. He had a curly mustache and was none other than Christopher's uncle, Galvin Ingress.

The man hit Christopher's neck with the side of his palm and knocked him unconscious.

He placed his limp body over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and said, "My apologies for the disturbance. We shall fully comply with the proceedings and provide an apt explanation. In the meantime, I request you to keep those guests around. We have something important to discuss with them."

The man walked away after saying so, not waiting for the response of these men.

'Shit! Double shit! This is definitely my luck that has put me in such a pickle.' Julien exclaimed internally.

The Templar Knights turned to them and said, "Esteemed guests…"

"Yeah, we know. Don't worry, we'll comply and not give you a hard time." Julien quickly said.

There was no way he could escape this situation. He thus made the most logical choice and complied.

Despite things having gone wrong, Julien got people escorting him to the Grand Cathedral. He was already heading there and with the knights around, didn't have to worry about losing his way.

Plus, they even brought carriages for him and his party.

He did not have to walk.
