God slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the earth.
The former royal capital has now been built into an ancient holy capital by the world. The dome of the ring cathedral stands high, reflecting the dazzling light, showing the piety and majesty of this saint of ten thousand cities.
Chen Yi's eyes hurriedly passed over this kingdom, and he clearly understood its changes over the years. In the ancient kingdom era, the slave kingdom that only existed in the northern land was now vast and boundless, and even the Kingdom of Fudusan became it. vassal state.
Even the Pope once moved here and once appropriated the universal name of the Deschanel Empire to the Kingdom of Leyton.
Several changes in the throne, the hard work of the kings, and the conquest of pagan lands pushed this kingdom to its greatest prosperity in history.
In the past hundred years, every king who ascended the throne donated a piece of land to the church, and successive popes crowned him and declared that the king's authority was granted by God.
God is not interested in the past and has never looked at it.
Over the past hundreds of years, He has heard the prayers and supplications of kings above thousands of pillars and seas of clouds...Those kings are eager to listen to God's will just like those who brought the gospel in history.
So it is with the present King Ulysses.
It was now mass time, and Ulysses and his pregnant Queen Remedios appeared in the Ring Cathedral, accepting the respect and respect of the nobles, and then led by the bishop to the royal mass room. , it is an open terrace, with the colorful windows of the church behind it, shining with beautiful light.
Queen Remedios was pregnant with her belly and her belly was bulging. She had already stopped moving. Even though Ulysses tried to dissuade her several times, she still insisted on coming to the Circus Cathedral to attend mass.
Remedios had already had two miscarriages due to physical reasons before this pregnancy. Fortunately, the miscarriage did not cause much harm to her. She was pregnant again this time, and she had a premonition that it would will be a healthy child.
Even though she had a premonition, the two miscarriages inevitably made Remedios uneasy. She prayed once in the morning, afternoon and evening, and tuned in to the church bells almost exactly. She also went to the church to attend mass every Sunday, several times. Light the candle with your own hands to worship the Lord.
Remedios hoped that through this Mass, the Lord could cast his gaze from the sky to protect the child in her belly, teach the child to be born intact, and teach the child a happy life thereafter.
Mass was about to begin, and Remedios suddenly realized that her child was kicking her.
Ulysses noticed his wife's vision and couldn't help but cast a worried look.
Remedios shook her head, forced a happy smile, and pointed to her stomach, indicating that the child was kicking her.
"Praise be to the holy name of the Lord."
With a loud and pious call from the bishop, the mass began.
"Praise be to the holy name of the Lord."
In the royal mass room, Remedios quickly repeated in a low voice.
The noisy crowd quickly quieted down. They looked at the tall icon and the Circle of Truth in the church with great respect and even fear.
The bishop shook the holy bell, and the bells echoed in the vast church. Some monks pushed the wooden stakes and struck the church bell on the roof.
"May the Lord's love, grace, and gifts be with you." The bishop said piously.
"Also with your heart."
The monks in the audience took the lead and chanted loudly.
The true believers in the church chanted in a familiar manner, and the pious voices gathered together and were loud and clear, although many people did not understand the meaning of those prayers.
"May the Lord be with you." The bishop said loudly again.
In the mass room, Remedios raised her hands to perform the circle salute and recited in a low voice:
"Also with your heart."
Remedios straightened her body. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the child was fluttering in her belly.
Shouldn't...
Remedios thought of something and her face turned pale. Two miscarriages had brought a huge psychological shadow to her.
Ordinary people say that the pregnancy lasts ten months, and now that date was approaching, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. Then she prayed with the Lord more devoutly to bless the child's safe birth.
"Fellow true believers, we all confess our sins and hold holy sacrifices devoutly."
The bishop was silent for a moment, waiting for the reaction of everyone in the church.
In the spacious church, the restless Remedios was almost the quickest to react. She chanted one after another:
"I confess to the Lord in heaven my faults in thoughts, words, and deeds. Lord, please have mercy on us. Lord, please be merciful and grant us salvation."
After reciting the familiar prayer, Remedios lowered her head again, touched her bulging belly, then quickly made a circle salute and added in a low voice:
"O Lord above, may you bring my child to the world safely, lead her to enjoy countless happiness, and enter your glory in the world."
After Remedios finished reciting, her face turned pale, she clutched her stomach, and her child kicked her again.
“May the Lord in heaven have mercy on us, forgive our sins, and grant us eternal life.”
Before the icon, the bishop rang the holy bell again.
The monks led the crowd in the audience and said:
"May more people worship Him so that people in the world can be saved."
Remedios had not yet recovered from her discomfort, so she hurriedly said:
"May more people worship Him so that people in the world can be saved."
As soon as I finished speaking...
Wow.
Remedios heard a scratching sound coming from deep inside her body.
During Mass, the Queen's water broke.
........
I don’t know whether it was because of her insistence on praying and mass, but Remedios gave birth to a healthy child in the Circle Cathedral.
The situation was critical at that time, but luckily Remedios followed the two stable women. After Remedios yelled, she hurriedly stepped forward to support the queen's body, and yelled the idlers out.
They closed the curtains on the mass terrace, and after a long time, the child was born safely.
Two days passed after that, and on the third day, the weak queen was recuperating in the palace.
The maids carefully brought the sleeping child in the cradle to her.
It was a girl, the eldest daughter of Ulysses and Remedios.
The queen looked at her daughter's face. The newborn baby was so ugly that she didn't know how to wake up from her deep sleep. Even though the queen thought this, infinite love was born in her heart.
She is simply a gift from God.
"Light the bee candle, I'm going to pray."
The queen raised her face and spoke to the maids around her.
The maids nodded meekly. Everyone knew how much the queen valued her daughter.
Above the sea of clouds with thousands of pillars, the god looked at Queen Remedios and her daughter who was sleeping in the cradle, the latter had not yet been named.
He looked at the child with unspeakable hope in his heart.
Then, God spoke softly.
In the palace,
The maids found the bee candle, turned around, and were about to light it with a fire sickle and hand it to the queen for prayer.
They were surprised to find that the queen's face was filled with tears for some unknown reason.
Remedios turned her head and trembled that she had heard the oracle.
The maids looked at each other in confusion.
"The Lord said:"
The queen said with tears:
"'Daughters of the Holy City, I charge you:
Do not disturb, do not wake the one I love until she wants to. '"
The maids looked at the queen in disbelief.
They suddenly didn't know what to say.
The queen just looked at her daughter with a loving look on her face;
"Because she does not yet know the mission that the Lord has given her."
