The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 535 - 299 "You Have No Right to Award Me" (4800)_3

An Su's soul had already reached Saint High Rank; he could withstand the pressure of a Demigod Prince.

But Luoja was different, she was not a Saint.

An Su could feel the trembling and disorder of the breath beside him, that green sweetness gradually being covered by the scent of blood, An Su did not know the specifics of Luoja's situation, but he understood that it was difficult for her, that breath was like a trembling violin string.

A girl from the borderlands, unable to contend with the immense royal authority.

She was an orphan, she had neither a demigod uncle nor a family wealthy enough to rival countries, she was not like An Su, who could hold up, who could bear the pressure of the Royal Family, who could endure the Royal Family's retaliation.

Giving up was the best choice, the Eldest Prince had already given her a chance, just choose to give up, continue to obey, continue to understand the rules, continue to be a good child, she had no obligation to persist.

Feeling that breath as thin as a thread, An Su fell silent. He held the scepter, did nothing, said nothing; whatever choice it was, he would accept it.

Prince Tai Rui knew he had guessed correctly; he revealed a calm smile. If there was no reaction from the opposite side, shielded by the magic of the God of Law and in the presence of the seven Cardinal Bishops, Tai Rui had no other options. Unless she voluntarily gave up, the Royal Family could not afford to offend both the borderlands and the Church at once.

"You may step down."

Tai Rui's voice was very gentle, but the nobility and authority of his bloodline already overshadowed everything else; the mantle of royal authority hung over their heads, lowly creatures of blood could not defy the command of a Demigod, even if she was a so-called puppet Saintess, that was all she was!

"Let Cersei preside over this knighting ceremony."

His tone was light, yet as heavy as if he had decreed an irrefutable edict. His golden eyes burned fiercely, as dazzling and scorching as the sunrise.

The luminance of the statues all went out, the cool moonlight dropped in front of the Holy stairs, a dark void, the girl bowed her head, shoulders trembling, she bit her lip, that faint scent of blueberries... completely covered by the smell of blood.

Cersei... the blueberry girl lowered her gaze towards Cersei Milton.

She was so beautiful and lovely, wearing a dress that the Little Saintess could never afford in a lifetime, with grand Golden Kite Flowers blooming, swaying with countless radiance and holiness... Everyone knew, Cersei Milton was the Saintess of Farol, the Radiant Saintess, the Saintess of the whole Church.

It was fitting for Cersei Milton to bestow the knighthood, she was the most suitable...

The most suitable.

Under the ancient Demigod Authority, the light in the girl's eyes grew dimmer and thinner.

'The stock I have my eye on will absolutely not lose.'

Luoja hung her head low, gently clutching the gambling ticket in her embrace, that ticket worth ten gold mines, which had already expired that very afternoon.

— A gambling ticket depicting the Holy Radiance Cathedral.

"Let Cersei knight you," Tai Rui said calmly.

An Su felt the nearly vanished breath at his side. He looked at Tai Rui Milton, who was all smiles; paused for a moment, then made up his mind, slowly releasing the scepter in his hand, but in the next instant, another invisible hand covered his, helping An Su to grasp it.

This was the first time today that Luoja touched An Su.

That touch was icy cold, like the late snow not yet thawed in early spring, frail yet soft, as if holding it a moment longer would cause it to melt under the Sun's radiance.

It was obviously about to melt, the late snow of early spring, just like the stars of the morning, on the boundary of time and the world, ready to vanish in the grand sunrise.

"An Su Moningsta."

"She has no right to knight you."

Luoja whispered by An Su's ear, her voice very light, her voice line trembling, but it left no room for doubt or rebuttal, as if announcing the sovereignty of Luoja Fast, allowing no retreat, no invasion, that scent of berries and blood, so vivid, so bright.

The entire spring's Golden Kite Flower, or even the whole world's sunrise, could not crush her.

She held An Su's hand, and also grasped the Scepter of Radiance.

Ha.

You are crazier than I am.

Luoja Fast, you are crazier than I am!

Then I shall join in your madness!

An Su's lips split into a crazed smile, and together with Luoja, they raised high the Scepter of Radiance, pointing towards the second floor, towards the Royal Family, towards Tai Rui Milton, towards all the royal authority and nobles, and in the next instant, a grand blessing burst forth between the heavens, the boy was never favored by the Goddess, but Luoja could be, for she was the protagonist of this world!

Everyone felt the arrival of the Radiant Goddess,

The brilliant radiance exploded, painting over all that was dim, spreading downward from the dome of Radiance, igniting every stair, every tile, even the splendor of the Sea of Golden Kite Flowers could not match that radiance, submerged together in the sea of light, tens of thousands of glass prisms scattering the purest white radiance simultaneously!

The Ceremony Hall had never seen such grandeur since its establishment.

"You all—"

An Su pointed with the scepter at Tai Wen, sweeping over all beings below the stairs, that deep blue gaze reflecting in everyone's heart, never to be erased.

The boy said calmly,

"Have no right to knight me."
