196 THE PAPACY (2)

Who is this Pope?

She couldn't help but wonder who live in this large mansion, or like Vasco said this city, guarded by strong man, all the time.

Then they meet his attendant or perhaps another Priest. She didn't really know the term so she let Vasco talk to him

But she could hear what Vasco is saying

 "We would like to meet His Holiness" Vasco said his voice is gentle and deferring. Hearing his ton, no one would believe he hated the church

"The Holiness has ready himself for you'

The priest led them through a long corridor, and then they entered a wide dimly lit hallway.

As she walks, guided by the priest she could see beautiful artwork on the walls, angels she mused, the bust of the Emperor of Holy Zun Empire, a puppet Emperor, Vasco told her, and a lot of tapestries of Ariana, all worth a fortune if sold.

Vasco was right. This Papacy is a nest of gold.
