His appearance instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Cardinal Asier Laty was very pleased with this effect. He raised the platter high, making the Lance of Longinus appear in the cameras.
The guard behind him reminded him: "At this time, someone might be thinking of the holy relic."
"Relax, the Russians are more afraid of the lance getting lost here than we are."
Cardinal Asier Laty looked at the men in black behind him and said.
Besides.
He didn't believe in the power of the holy relic at all.
So this time, he didn't bring the real lance tip from St. Peter's Basilica; this lance tip was a replica for display.
If it was really lost here, Cardinal Asier Laty and the Pope would be quite happy.
If it got stolen, they could demand a huge ransom. When they bring out the real one later and say it returned to St. Peter's Basilica on its own, wouldn't that be a miracle?!
He walked towards the coaches' benches with the platter.
