"To be honest, I had a bad feeling that something bad was about to happen." Leo's expression was quite serious, and he said seriously to Bella in front of him.
Bella nodded solemnly, too, "If you don't get your hateful groping hands away right away, then I promise something bad will happen to you right away." β
Leo's old face turned red, and he put his right hand on the oil back and forth on Bella's thigh, and was about to say something, when suddenly a guard walked in: "My lord, Bishop Geoffrey asks to see you." β
"Bishop Jeffrey?" Leo frowned.
Of course, he knew that this bishop had already surrendered like the eldest princess during the day, but tonight was when the assassination was raging, and this cardinal didn't stay in the Grace Courtyard honestly, what did he do at the state guesthouse?
Although he wondered in his heart, Leo nodded at the guard: "Let him in." β
Bishop Geoffrey quickly appeared in front of Leo, and the cardinal's attitude was more modest than before, even giving the illusion that he was nothing more than a slave to Leo.
"Lord Leo, this is a letter that Bishop Gavin has entrusted me to pass on to you." As he spoke, Geoffrey pulled out an envelope sealed in fire paint from his bosom and handed it to Leo.
"Letter?" Leo wondered even more, "Why didn't you give me this letter earlier?" β
Since according to the information obtained by Leo, it seems that no newcomer from the Holy See has had any contact with Bishop Geoffrey these days, so this letter can only be brought by Bishop Geoffrey from the Holy See when he departs.
Bishop Geoffrey obviously heard the dissatisfaction hidden in Leo's tone, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Leo, it was Lord Gavin who told me to deliver this letter to you the night before the election meeting, and I dare not disobey his order." β
Leo didn't speak, but stared at Bishop Geoffrey for a long time, until the bishop was sweating so hard that he could barely stand on his feet before he spoke, "You can go down, Bishop Geoffrey." By the way, it's not safe outside tonight, I'll have someone arrange a room for you here. β
Bishop Jeffrey, as if he had been pardoned, immediately withdrew.
Bela glanced sympathetically at Bishop Geoffrey's embarrassed figure, then said to Leo, "You frightened him. β
Leo shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly: "If scaring him to death can make me find out the truth, I will definitely do it without hesitation." β
Judging by Bishop Jeffrey's reaction, he was telling the truth.
But the strange thing is why Bishop Gavin gave a secret letter to this "traitor" when he knew that Bishop Geoffrey was unreliable, and that it must be delivered to Leo by tonight?
"I hope this letter gives me the answer." Leo muttered, then unwrapped the paint and pulled out the letterhead.
The letter reads as follows:
Dear Leo,
By the time you read this letter, I should have already started to act.
You may wonder about this so-called action, but let us be clear, at this very moment, a coup d'Γ©tat is being staged vigorously in the Holy See.
All the forces loyal to us will rise tonight with one goal - to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Pope Enhill over the Church.
Cheers to yourself, dear Leo. It is precisely because of the existence of you, the divine being, that our actions have sufficient appeal and justice.
"The Divine Favor has brought the will of God, and Pope Enhil, who is not loyal to the God of the Most High Light, must be overthrown!"
No matter how you look at it, that's a great reason to rebel, isn't it?
Of course, even if I had planned in advance, no one could have completely guaranteed 100% success of such an earth-shattering event - this was the first large-scale military coup against the Pope in 300 years.
So in the unfortunate event that I fail, then no matter what the outcome of the Elector is, I sincerely suggest that you take your beautiful little girlfriend and escape from the Spanny Empire as soon as possible.
Because no matter which prince or princess wins the farce of the Electoral, the future emperor of the empire will not risk war with the church to protect your safety, so when the time comes, the Anglo kingdom above the sea should be a good place to be.
Of course, because of Lord Dandrion, I believe that even in the worst case scenario, your life can be at least safe, so please pray for your faithful friend Gavin Sr.!
I can assure you that once I become the new Pope, I will do my best to satisfy the burning desire for revenge in the heart of your little girlfriend.
Finally, from the standpoint of an ally, I think I must remind you that, from some of the channels at my disposal, the Inquisition is not a trustworthy object.
You've been here for too little time to understand the horror of this organization, so you probably don't know that every time Lord Cheedo meets with His Majesty the Pope, his eyes of the Demon God reveal undisguised murderous intent.
Is the power of the Inquisition, who is hostile to the Pope and the Church as a whole, really worthy of our trust? It is important that you think carefully about this question.
So that's it, and I hope you'll hear the news of my victory tomorrow when you walk out of the Election Hall in high spirits.
This is the end of the letter, and at the end of the letter there is a signature that reads: Your most faithful old friend, Chetos.
Leo looked up, and let out a sigh of solemnity.
If the contents of this letter are all true, then this is a real deal!
"Rebellion? Coup? Gavin, an old fox, is too ****** to play with fire! Leo thought indignantly.
There is a reason for Leo's displeasure, whether it is in the church or the election meeting, although the situation on Leo's side is not very good, but at least it has a strong enough competitiveness, but at this time, Gavin, the old guy, has suppressed all the desperate rebellion!
The letter has made it very clear that once Gavin's coup fails, then as the banner figure on Gavin's side, Leo can only escape from the Spany Empire as soon as possible, otherwise he will be deducted by the new emperor in minutes and used as a bargaining chip for trading with Pope Enhill - even if the new emperor may be the eldest princess pushed by Leo!
"It's just a damn / retarded!" Leo finally couldn't hold back and scolded a swear word.
"What's wrong?" Bella on the side looked at Leo with some concern, anyone could see from the difference in Leo's expression before and after reading the secret letter, what was written on this secret letter was definitely not good news for Leo.
Leo took a deep breath and was about to speak, but suddenly closed his mouth again.
Regardless of whether the contents of the letter are true or not, even if the letter was really written by Bishop Gavin himself, could Leo be able to tell Bella the contents of the letter?
You must know that Bishop Gavin directly singled out his distrust of the people in the Inquisition in his letter, and at this moment, the guards by Leo's side are three Sanctuary powerhouses from the Inquisition!
Just when Leo was full of confusion, one of the three powerhouses of the Inquisition's Sanctuary, Daisy the Blonde, appeared in front of Leo with a rather serious expression on her face.
"My lord, we just received top-secret information from the Holy See from Lord Cheeto."
