Two days later, in front of the old palace building, a group of knights were standing guard along with paladins from the church.

Both sides were confronting each other but none of them made a move since no one could enter the palace as if there was an invincible barrier surrounding it.

At first Deon came to the palace just to visit the two kids and make sure they were alright but the kids suddenly requested to see their father no matter what.

"I want to see Daddy!" Helena who at first seem to be polite started to scream towards Deon who remained unmoved.

Hirza on the other hand tried to open the locked door and windows inside the room but it was futile since Deon use holy power to lock them.

'How should I explain what happened to Hileo? Should I directly said Hileo is dead? Will they understand? Or they might react even worst than the emperor?'

Thinking about the emperor, its been two whole days since anyone last saw him. Even Hileo's butler Steven couldn't see him due to the barrier and only able to bring the Archbishop in order to appease the wary nobles from spreading rumors about what happened.

Deon wasn't shocked with what the Archbishop decided to do except when they suddenly wanted to make Hileo the new Pope of the Church.

Not a Saint but a Pope.

There is no precedent of someone who was never been a member of the church to be the Pope.

Helena and Hirza would also be absorbed into being elite members of the church.

It was absurd. Deon couldn't understand what actually happened and why the Church seemed desperate to take these three people.

"Helena, Hirza, do you like to be a church member?" Deon asked.

"What benefit will we get?" Hirza asked.

"Well, you guys will become well known and have a lot of power and money."

"Is being well known good? We already have money and power. Do we need more?"

Deon couldn't answer his question since he never expected a six year old to ask such question. If he being honest, he will definitely say there was pro and con in everything but he didn't want to burden a child.

"Shut up! I want to see Daddy!" Helena continued being persistent.

"Sigh, you guys are not ready yet-"

"Not ready for what? Daddy is still Daddy. He's going to wake up today, we need to see him. He will feel worry if we're not there."

Seeing Helena being stubborn, Deon decided to just make them face reality faster by just showing it to them.

"Ok let's go."

The moment they stepped out of the crown prince's palace, a sudden pillar of light suddenly emerge from quite a distance away. The direction was at the same direction they were heading towards to.

"Daddy!" Helena exclaimed.

"Hurry up," Hirza insisted Deon to move faster.

At the same time, Steven who didn't sleep for two days straight couldn't help but felt relief when he felt his master's soul finally coming back.

"It seems he decided to come back to live," the Archbishop who looked like a normal friendly middle age man said seemingly amused.

"Archbishop, what is your order? Should we just barge inside?" One paladin asked.

"No. They will come out by themselves when they wanted to. Quickly spread the news that the new Pope just awaken. Also put the real history of the royal family and debunk the curse child belief clearly so this kind of belief will be forever gone. We have make a really big mistakes all this years."
