The most sacred place on the ground, the doors of the Pantheon Temple, were opened. This place, which usually restricts the entry of outsiders, was open today to commemorate the winner of the hunting festival held under the leadership of the Freihard Empire and the Sahir Empire.
Those entering the temple were required to wear white garments and veils. This rule applied without exception even to the great individuals on the ground, namely Emperor Freihard and Emperor Sahir.
Emperor Sahir and Empress occupied the first two seats on the right in the tightly arranged ceremonial chairs. Following them, influential noble families from the empire took their seats in order of importance.
Emperor Freihard, on the contrary, sat in the leftmost seat of the first row. Next to him, unmarried, was Cloe Freihard, also his confidante and lover.
People glanced with admiration at the beautiful woman confidently occupying the seat next to him. Keeping one’s government affairs even in such a significant formal ceremony.
The vast orchestra next to the platform, led by the graceful gestures of the conductor, began to play. After a somewhat dull performance, the representative song of the Pantheon Temple echoed through the hall.
Those who understood the meaning of the music spontaneously stood up without anyone telling them to do so. Soon after, a grand ceremony for the honoree began.
Smirking.
The Pantheon Pope, with white hair and beard like the pure white attire he wore, coughed softly.
“Good morning. As I behold the clear and sunny sun, it seems that even the gods are blessing this day from afar.”
Although the frail and delicate voice flowed through the speakers, the full dignity filled the air, making the Pope’s authority stand out.
“Today is a day to honor the 31st Hunting Festival, a collaboration between the Freihard Empire and the Sahir Empire. For the people, the kingdom, the world, and the gods! May the efforts of the warriors who shed blood and sweat for them be blessed by the gods.”
Smirking, the Pope coughed briefly, perhaps out of breath from the long speech.
“Although the winner has not been determined yet, I wanted to tell the story that everyone who participated in the Hunting Festival did well. I, being an old man, took a long time to rush, haha.”
As the Pope tapped on the platform and cleared his throat, priests waiting at the back appeared one after another carrying something.
“Can you see this monster?”
It was a corpse so huge that its size couldn’t be easily estimated.
“That’s the leader of the monster group that harmed the Zeckhardt Kingdom. It resided in the largest forest in the kingdom, attacking those who visited the forest and causing problems. As a result, the Zeckhardt kingdom suffered significant damage, unable to obtain plants and herbs from the forest for several months.”
The man sitting in the center quietly shed tears, recalling the past calamity. He was King Zeckhardt, who suffered immense losses in this incident.
“As you can see, it’s an enormous and powerful monster to the extent that its corpse will remain as a formidable creature, not just a magical stone. To the glorious knight who vanquished this monster in an instant, we, the Pantheon Temple, extend boundless gratitude, hoping for the peace of the Zeckhardt Kingdom and the world.”
The Pope, who had finally finished the introduction, smiled slightly.
“Our benefactor, Duke Calis Arhen of the Valont Kingdom, we salute you!”
Having completed the thunderous introduction, the Pope immediately clapped his hands to welcome the hero of glory. The Pope, clapping willingly, prompted the nobles to follow suit.
Clap, applause, creating a resounding noise congratulating today’s hero.
Unlike others who were dressed in formal attire, Calis wore armor, the emblem of a knight, rather than the uniform.
With firm steps.
From the door to the platform, confidently traversing the red carpet prepared for him, he finally kneeled before the Pope.
“As part of the Valont Kingdom, he supported the Sahir Empire during this hunting festival. Come to think of it, he has deep connections with the Freihard Empire. Whether during Freihard’s reign or Sahir’s, he is a faithful talent who elevates his status.”
The Pope offered praises adorned with an affectionate smile.
Subsequently, the nobles seated like spectators silently exchanged glances. There were doubts in their eyes, questioning things such as the meaning behind the rise of Duke Arhen, who had been declining.
“Calis Arhen, you shall be appointed as the Knight of Honor at the Pantheon Temple this year.”
The Pope personally announced the answer kindly.
Soon, the nobles expressed their astonishment one by one. How could a man who had fallen as far as he had, be chosen as the Knight of Honor, a position that only those with significant influence could attain?
Among the confused crowd, only one person, Cedric Theodoreman, had a satisfied expression. His raised eyebrows clearly indicated his satisfaction.

Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
