Or is it appreciation of talent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the outcome, Herbert wanted to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Sun Pope’s private space; Herbert was in absolute weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet precisely in this moment of extreme power imbalance, he insisted on asking for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the folly of a man who overestimates himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is wisdom born of reasoning and deduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because the power gap was so vast, Herbert could make such a bold, almost offensive move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you are weak enough, even your defiance seems cute—this implies that those above will tolerate your transgressions more readily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because Herbert was so insignificant to the Sun Pope, and still a friend, not an enemy, he could make such a daring provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Herbert’s words, the Sun Pope’s smile faded, and he studied the boy intently from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You and he… are truly alike… especially in this kind of trivial matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, the old man turned his gaze away from the boy, lowering his eyes to the reflection in his cup, and shook his head: “If I hadn’t sensed no trace of his aura on you, I might have thought you were his offspring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sun Pope did not name the man, but Herbert, who had already suspected, understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re giving my old man some face, huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well done—no wonder you’re a Face Fruit user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Grand Archbishop’s story never mentioned the Sun Emperor, as contemporaries who shaped their era, they must have had some contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, they nodded to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seems… their relationship may have been closer than I suspected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s an honor to resemble him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert shrugged and asked, “So, all your leniency toward me is because of him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pope Ivanson laughed heartily: “At least partly. Since you’ve been chosen by him and bear his blessing, as an old friend, I naturally owe the younger generation some guidance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides that, there’s also a small reward for the contributions you’ve made.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contributions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert raised an eyebrow, surprised he had done anything worthy of the Pope’s personal reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pope Ivanson saw his confusion and smiled warmly: “How long has it been?
