Shackley asked Sean to wait outside his living room for three hours before he came out to meet him. He expressed his anger in this way.

Of course, few people knew about the embarrassment of wetting his pants, but his pig-like pleas at the scene could be heard by the entire neighborhood. Impressive.

Sean saved him, and he was indeed grateful, but what if he missed? How could he dare to hand over the life of his own cardinal to the rifle in the hands of his men? If Sean had shot himself, Shakli might have felt better.

But after this exciting morning, Shackley suddenly realized that Sean was no longer the viscount who needed some kind of protection from him, let alone the cowardly and humble clergyman's adopted son who lived by his nose, nor would he be convinced of himself because he was a relative who had made a few turns.

This is a nobleman with money, status and increasing influence, and he is also a commander who has killed countless people on the battlefield, not a vassal who can command himself.

In Shakley's subconscious, he did see Sean as his vassal—a natural defender of his own interests.

But the kidnapping incident made Shakley understand that Sean could only be regarded as his close ally, and if he didn't value this relationship, Sean would naturally treat him as a stranger.

Just like Sean's act of giving away a lot of wealth to his illegitimate children, only a fool would think that Sean is scolding himself, which is simply a plain threat and warning.

Under Xia Keli's sublime red robe, there are also hidden personal desires, but he used to hide them very well for his personal "self-motivation". His illegitimate children were also so well protected and hidden by him, thinking that no one knew the secret. Shackley didn't know how Shaun knew, which scared him.

But Sean didn't go too far, let alone divulge this secret that might ruin his reputation, and Sean took out hundreds of thousands of real money.

In this respect, Sean has the potential to become a politician.

Thinking of this, Xia Keli's mood finally felt a little better, if this ally maintained such a growth trend, maybe he would have to rely on him to take care of him in the future.

Walking out of the living room, Shackley glared at Sean and walked straight to his luxurious study.

The servant brought the tea, the two looked at each other, and Sean took the initiative to speak:

"Rest assured, Lord Bishop, the mob will be hanged in public. ”

"Well, I don't care how that villain died. "Shaun, you know what I'm most concerned about!"

"I did donate 20,000 louis to His Majesty Youssef-Lombardi. In fact, I was here today to explain to you, and then this terrible thing happened, God forbid, you just suffered a little skin injury. Sean admitted.

Shackley snorted coldly in his nose.

"The 20,000 is just the price I paid for a secret piece from Lombardi, and it's important to me. ”

"So you support him in the town of Vichy and even in Poitou," Shakli questioned in a louder and louder voice, "Sean, do you know what you're doing? You grew up in this church, and all you see are devout believers, and the most you hear in your ears is the holy voice. This is betrayal!"

"Of course. Sean didn't shy away from Shakley's cannibalistic gaze, "Lord Bishop, have you heard of the person 'Sage'?"

Xia Keli's face changed, and he exclaimed, "That's a demon!"

This effect was exactly what Sean wanted: "When I was fighting the rebels in the north, there was evidence that the Magi had come to Poitou, to the town of Vichy, and even to my rose garden. This upsets me. ”

"Sean, it's not me who blames you, how did you get into trouble with this difficult guy. Shakli suddenly became an elder who cared about his juniors, "Tell me, what does the sage have to do with this old fellow Lombardi? You are the junior I pay attention to, as an elder, I will definitely help you find a way to deal with this difficult guy." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness. "Lombardi told me that the Magi had studied with him under the former Pope of the True God Cult, and was excommunicated thirty years ago because he discovered that he was not having the right mind. Of course, this is only one side of Lombardi's words, he has cleaned up the True God Cult, but the relationship between the Magi and the True God Religion will not be fake. In addition, Lombardi told me that the hometown of the Magi is Poitou!"

Shackley said ill-intentionedly: "This news is indeed worth 20,000 louis, I need to make good use of this news to cause some trouble for this pope." ”

"No way, it's a seller's market. I guess the Pope's willingness to reveal this secret is probably because he wants to kill the Magi. Sean stretched out his hands, "As for my support for his mission in Poitou and Genoa, it is utter nonsense, and I have been taken advantage of by him. ”

"Well, I blamed you, Sean. Shackley knew that Sean was lying, at least Sean did not explicitly disagree with this statement, and Shakli had to take advantage of the situation to expose the knot.

Shakli was smart and didn't take the initiative to mention the issue of his illegitimate children, which was a scandal, and of course Sean seemed to have forgotten about it, which was a "private issue" after all.

"No, you are my elder, and I have the utmost respect for your opinion. Sean said respectfully.

Shackley suddenly said again: "Sean, it's time for you to get married!"

Sean was a little confused: "Lord Bishop, why are you mentioning this?"

"Because many people think you're a good commodity. "In fact, quite a few people have even come to me to inquire. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them, I don't have any plans to get married at the moment. Sean said, especially emphasizing, "Of course, I am extremely healthy!"

"Because of that beautiful widow?" said Shakley, chin cocking, "are you pursuing her?"

"Isn't that possible?" asked Sean.

"Don't get excited, I'm not against it. Many young people prefer to pursue wealthy women who are old enough to be their mothers in order to squeeze into the upper class, and there are also merchants who marry widows from noble families in order to improve their social status. This situation is especially common in the province of Holy City and Gyeonggi Province, where too many people from other provinces want to try their luck.

Sean, you're different, if you can make your wishes come true, it's definitely a good thing, it's also a match made in heaven, although the Robinson family has orphans and widows who seem to be in decline, this family has a lot more connections than you think. Shakli shook his head, and did not forget to sarcastically mock Sean by the way, "You have not had maternal love since you were a child, maybe that's why you have a good impression of women older than you." Of course, the woman at least proved that there were no problems with her fertility. ”

"Audrey is young and beautiful, and she is only 27 years old. Sean was furious.

Shakli ignored Sean's gaze and said:

"But now a better marriage awaits you, definitely far better than the widow of the Robinson family. Of course, if you have a way to make that beautiful widow your lover without affecting your marriage contract and family future, feel free. Well, a nobleman without a lover is not a good nobleman, and believe me, this is not a stain on morality, but an affair and a good story. ”

Sean was shocked: "What are you talking about? Am I very sought-after?"

"Count Koval has written to me to inquire about your marriage, your character, your possessions and your physical condition, and as a general prelude to introducing you to a marriage. Shackley said.

Shakli continued: "The Count of Coral is Genoa's premier nobleman, and he also holds a seat in the Council of Quds nobility on behalf of Genoa. He hinted that it was a person of great stature in the Holy City who had asked him to inquire. This shows that your name has caught the attention of those people, which is a good start, especially since you are still so young. It's enviable.

Of course, the reason why Count Koval is so enthusiastic is because your fame has spread to the Holy City, and he can certainly be an adult, and second, because he needs help from his homeland. Sean, you know, those Northerners have their nostrils up, and they've always looked down on us Southerners. ”

Shakli's expression was meaningful.

Sean smiled, "Then how did you reply?"

"I haven't had time to reply. "My suggestion is that if you are interested in making a good acquaintance with a good family in the Holy City, let me test it." I have no fewer friends in the Holy City than Count Coval, and some of them even frequent the White House. ”

"Frankly, I'm not interested. "I don't want a woman I don't love lying next to me, even if she's as beautiful as a fairy." ”

"Sean, you have a mental cleanliness fetish, which is a disease that needs to be treated early. I advise you to participate in more social activities, when you get used to women being around, love is just a condiment, although it is indispensable, there are always alternatives. "Do you think the big men in high society are all in harmony and happiness? Yes, marriage is a contract, but for high society, it's also a deal, and this is my advice to you. ”

"Thank you, Lord Bishop, for your advice!" replied Sean earnestly.

Today Xia Keli is very special, perhaps because he was stimulated, he talked a lot, and he was serious about every sentence:

"Sean, tell me, what does your future hold?"

"Become a leisure class. Sean's answer was succinct and to the point.

"You're playing tricks on me, because you're now part of the idle class. Even if you squat down with a humble farmer and smoking, that doesn't change that. "And my goal is to become the Pope." ”

Sean looked at him in a daze, he wanted to analyze from Xia Keli's expression whether this was true or not.

"When I decided to put on the black robe, I made this vow. "I wore the black robe on the same day as your adoptive father, and he just wanted to mess around. I am now a provincial cardinal, and between me and the Pope there are only five cardinals and two cardinals, and I am the youngest compared to my colleagues!"

"So. Shakli's eyes burst into a frenzied light, "I'm a commoner's son, and I've been working hard, and you're so young, and you have advantages that no one else has, but you just want to be an idle class? ”

"Should I be prime minister?"

Sean was stunned and asked tentatively.

", I don't want to see you again!"
