Chapter 486: Bishop Jeffrey's Visitor
Grace House. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In this elegant courtyard, Bishop Jeffrey from the Holy See sat leisurely in a small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, with a teapot and a teacup filled with hot tea in front of him.
"It's a nice view, if only I had such a view from my place in the Holy See." Bishop Jeffrey, who was a little bowed, sighed softly, and the look on his face looked both yearning and lost.
As a high-ranking cardinal, Bishop Jeffrey, who was commissioned to lead the elite of the church to Reedmar City to support Leo's actions, seems to have been forgotten for a few days.
The command immediately fell into Leo's hands, and then these elites were either transferred or sent on missions by Leo, and only three remained in the Grace House, which was supposed to protect Bishop Geoffrey, but the Bishop always had a feeling that he might have been under surveillance and house arrest.
In Bishop Jeffrey's opinion, he did not deserve such treatment, and there was no reason for the divine to do this to himself.
It is important to know that on the day when the Divine Favor entered the Holy See for the first time and officially declared war on the Pope with the support of Bishop Gavin, it was precisely because of the crucial vote cast by Bishop Geoffrey at the last moment that the opponents of the Pope successfully rejected the Pope's order.
It is because of that vote that everything is now.
Without Bishop Geoffrey's vote, the opposition, led by the Divine Favor and Bishop Gavin, would not have been as powerful as it is now, and it would not have been possible to even establish it.
But such a great hero, a hero who was full of hope to be able to cooperate with the gods to make miraculous feats, a cardinal with old qualifications, a wise man with enough wisdom to lead the way for the gods, was ignored, ignored, thrown aside, and watched!
Bishop Jeffrey was rightly dissatisfied, but not too strong, for he believed that the Divine Favor would always come to his door.
After all, the Divine Favor is too young, and young people are always prone to make mistakes, and at this moment in the city of Ridmar, there is no one else but Bishop Geoffrey who has the wisdom and ability to help the Divine Favor correct their mistakes?
It only takes one chance for Bishop Geoffrey to be able to gain the trust of the gods with his wisdom and ability, which is very important to Bishop Geoffrey.
In Bishop Jeffrey's view, the reason why Bishop Gavin was able to become the head of the opposition to the church is not because everyone knows that Bishop Gavin is a hardcore ally of God's favor.
But---everyone is a cardinal, and no one is much better than the other, so why should you Gavin call the shots, and I, Jeffrey, should bow down?
What's more, in terms of qualifications, Bishop Jeffrey has served as a cardinal for nearly twenty years, which is much higher than Gavin, who has just become a cardinal in recent years.
Thinking about how many famous people in the church back then, Jeffrey and I, Jeffrey, talked and laughed with them, why should I ride Gavin to the head today?
Ambition is not something that only Bishop Gavin and Pope Enhill have.
In Bishop Jeffrey's view, it is clear that his current situation and treatment cannot satisfy his ambitions at all.
After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Bishop Jeffrey put aside his dissatisfaction and settled in the Grace House as if nothing had happened.
He had expected Leo to reappear soon, but after a few days, Bishop Geoffrey suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the Divine Favorite, and Leo did not come to the Grace House again, but Leo did something that reached Bishop Geoffrey's ears one after another.
The Prime Minister's Mansion, the Second Prince, Roger, the Golden Feather Parrot, etc., etc., these things caused a sensation throughout Ridmar City without even making special inquiries, so that Bishop Geoffrey involuntarily began to doubt his judgment.
If Leo had been infallible, wouldn't Bishop Jeffrey's wait now be worthless?
The Elector was just around the corner, and just when Bishop Jeffrey was already a little out of breath and was about to take the initiative to find Leo's Gate, two unexpected visitors came to the Grace Courtyard.
"The Marquis of Habs and the eldest princess want to see me?" The slight wrinkles in the corners of Bishop Jeffrey's eyes suddenly relaxed, and he said to the respectful waiter in front of him, "Why don't you invite them in yet!" β
If he wants to show his skills in front of the gods, then Bishop Geoffrey can't be ignorant of the people around Leo.
In Bishop Geoffrey's view, the presence of these two Leo allies at this moment only meant one thingβthe Divine Favor finally realized his importance and reached out to him for help.
Bishop Jeffrey, of course, will hold the hand of friendship firmly.
A moment later, the Marquis of Habs and the eldest princess descended into the pavilion, and Bishop Geoffrey stood up to salute, and the three of them took their respective seats after a polite exchange.
Bishop Geoffrey did not expect something, the Marquis of Habs and the eldest princess seemed to have come to talk to him, and they had been rambling on topics that sounded very interesting but were actually not nutritious, and they talked for more than an hour.
Waiting is an extremely patient thing, and Bishop Geoffrey's patience was finally exhausted first, and he decided to get straight to the point: "The emperor election meeting is about to be held, and Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Marquis are here today, presumably not just to drink tea and chat with me." β
Bishop Geoffrey's words seemed to suddenly touch some kind of switch, and the eldest princess and the Marquis of Habs stopped talking about the hot topic in their mouths and smiled at each other.
The Marquis of Habs spoke: "I have heard that Bishop Geoffrey was a noble son of the empire before he converted to the Supreme God of Light. β
Bishop Geoffrey was slightly stunned, not knowing why the Marquis of Habs suddenly mentioned his background, but he still nodded and said, "That's true, but now in my heart, there is only the endless dazzling brilliance of the great Supreme God of Light." β
"Your piety is truly admirable." Marquis Habs smiled: "We all know that among the twelve cardinals of the Holy Sect today, you are definitely in the top three in terms of seniority and merit. β
Bishop Geoffrey smiled silently and raised the teacup in his hand, in Bishop Geoffrey's view, this praise of the Marquis of Habs represented only one thing, and that was the goodwill of the Divine Favor.
But Bishop Geoffrey felt that this kindness seemed to come too late, so he decided to put on a show first, which was a small punishment for the mistake of the Divine Favorite.
But then the Marquis of Habs's words made Bishop Geoffrey instantly confused, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from his head to his feet at once.
"The eldest princess and I are here today on the commission of His Excellency Leo, in fact, I want to ask the Bishop a word - why did you betray Your Excellency Leo and Bishop Gavin?"
