THE TIME TO MEET

BOTH Lucern and Harlequin appeared inside the living room of a cottage.  The design of the furnitures inside was simple but with just one look, anyone could see that everything was made of top quality wood.  There was a fire place inside, adding a homey and cozy ambiance.

Harlequin was truly puzzled why the Pope chose this place to meet Argent Blackbourne.  If he was not mistaken, this cottage was like a retreat for the Pope.  He often went here to  rest.  Even he couldn't just enter this place as he pleased.  And yet, the Pope didn't hesitate to pick this place to welcome the duke.

Besides that, there were hardly any security in this area aside from the most basic magical tools.  But most importantly, the only Apostles here were Limos and the twins.  Both of whom were technically non-combatants.  If Solis wasn't brought here by a vassal from his Empire to attend the Festival of Creation, then the twins wouldn't even be here.  Which would only leave Limos.
