Chapter 52 The acting skills that go deep into the soul must be developed step by step
Peter shouted, which startled everyone. Countess Roman was already nervous standing in the front. After all, Her Majesty was on the left, and Her Majesty the Queen on the left.
This was such a huge shock to her delicate body that she almost dropped the child.
Although Adrian had been wary of Peter causing trouble, he became very involved in praying as soon as he started praying. After the second and fifth rounds, Peter did nothing, which made him relax a lot.
The call almost gave Peter a long scratch on his face.
Elizabeth also looked over in astonishment.
Everyone's eyes were on Peter, and Elizabeth whispered:
"What's wrong?"
Peter shook his head and said in a daze:
"It's nothing, Your Majesty. It seemed like a bolt of lightning struck me just now. It was probably an illusion."
Adrian's face turned dark, Lightning, why didn't you say that the divine oil hit you?
He didn't believe it a hundred times!
But there was no other movement from Peter, and he waited patiently for him to make the sign of the cross. Elizabeth couldn't help but feel relieved, but Adrian had no choice but to continue the process.
Soon, Adrian walked past Peter with a solemn expression, just as he was about to start the process with Countess Roman.
As soon as the divine oil touched Countess Roman's forehead, Peter shouted again, almost killing Adrian's soul.
After calling out, Peter looked at Countess Roman in shock.
"Your Highness Peter...!"
A look of displeasure appeared on Adrian's face, and he glared at Peter.
Although Countess Roman shook her body again, she did not dare to move if the Patriarch did not move. She was just uneasy in her heart. What was going on?
Elizabeth looked at Peter, only to see Peter looking at Countess Roman in disbelief, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
"What's wrong?"
Elizabeth asked again.
To other ministers, this prayer might have been a torture for a few hours, but to Elizabeth, who quickly entered the state of mind, it was a pious act of penance to the Virgin.
She didn't feel tired at all.
Now even though Peter yelled twice, Elizabeth, who had completely entered a pious mood, was not angry at all. She just looked at her nephew gently and asked him what happened.
For a moment, Peter looked away from the countess and looked at his aunt who hesitated to speak. Then he fell silent and sighed heavily.
Elizabeth asked again.
Peter didn't seem to want to say more, and said in a sad tone:
"It's nothing, Your Majesty. I seemed to have been electrocuted again. I'm fine now."
Elizabeth glanced at Peter and saw that he seemed to be fine except for his depressed expression, so she entered into her prayers again.
Her prayer was not spoken aloud, but was carried out in her heart.
Adrian glanced at Peter again, the warning in his old eyes was strong, but Peter ignored him, he just looked downcast, as if he was worried.
Then the ceremony continued, and the church was once again filled with a sacred atmosphere.
Countess Roman was the only one who felt uneasy in her heart.
After being hugged for several hours, her arms were a little sore, but she didn't dare to move. How could she show fear of getting tired when she was around His Highness?
But His Highness seemed to notice her, patted Countess Roman's hand gently, and hugged her daughter with a look of surprise on her face.
The Countess was very excited.
How much Your Highness loves her little angel.
But the Countess was afraid that her daughter would cry when she was in another arms. On such an occasion, where the Queen, His Royal Highness and the ministers of the palace were all present, crying would undoubtedly be unpleasant.
To her relief, her daughter was still soundly asleep, with a comfortable expression on her little face.
The Patriarch silently performed the ceremony behind him, and when the last repetition began, both Elizabeth and the Patriarch noticed this scene.
Elizabeth was surprised that her nephew showed affection for children for the first time, which undoubtedly made her very happy.
Her nephew liked children and would definitely not refuse to give birth to her own offspring. When she was disappointed with Peter, she hoped that Peter would have an offspring to stabilize the empire.
Now Peter's performance makes her extremely happy!
The Patriarch took a look and continued the ceremony.
When he made the sign of the cross to Peter again, the Patriarch acted extremely steadily, ensuring that no matter what trouble Peter made, the ceremony could still go on.
And Peter, honest and docile, was more reassuring than the baby girl he was holding.
After performing Peter's ceremony, Adrian made a sign of the cross in his heart and thanked the Virgin Mary for allowing this unruly Highness to maintain a moment of peace.
Finally, after a while, the ceremony was completed.
Peter stared at the seven candles on the holy table. They were arranged in an orderly manner, corresponding to the positions of the seven onions in his impression. There seemed to be a mysterious rhythm.
With a secret praise in his heart, Peter still looked down at the child with a downcast expression.
There was a hint of sadness in his expression from time to time.
Elizabeth finally came back from her pious mood. She seemed to have replenished a great deal of physical strength and energy, and her whole face was radiant.
She immediately noticed Peter's abnormality, but didn't say anything.
In view of Peter's fondness for the child, she nodded to the Countess. Countess Roman was immediately ecstatic and hurriedly saluted Her Majesty the Queen.
During the half-hour break after prayer, Elizabeth received the count's family, including Peter and the Patriarch.
The other palace ministers were waiting in the baptism hall.
"Your Majesty the Queen, please allow us to express our highest respect to you, Your Highness, and the Patriarch!"
The count and his family walked in turn to the empress, Peter and the patriarch to pay their highest respects.
Elizabeth noticed that Peter was looking at the white and towering chest of Countess Roman, and fell into deep contemplation. This glance seemed to be far away.
When the atmosphere became a little awkward, Elizabeth snorted before the Patriarch snorted coldly.
Peter finally came to his senses and sighed visibly.
In this sigh, not only Elizabeth, but also Adrian could hear obvious sadness.
Both of them couldn't help feeling a little strange. Something seemed wrong with Peter.
At this time, Peter actually called Countess Roman forward, hugged her, and took her hand to greet her in front of Count Roman. This surprised the count, made the countess blush, and made Elizabeth's eyes twitch.
