Bishop Jeffrey's hand shook suddenly, and the tea in his teacup almost spilled on the ground. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Marquis of Habs's words fell like a bolt of lightning from the sky, straight into Bishop Geoffrey's heart, and set off countless waves in his heart.

But even so, Bishop Geoffrey managed to keep his voice calm: "I don't understand what you're talking about, Lord Marquis. ”

The Marquis of Habs looked straight and said, "Maybe the bishop doesn't know that the Golden Feather Parrot family has already elected a new head of the family today. ”

"The Goldenfeather Parrot Family?" Bishop Jeffrey's heart jumped suddenly, but he still tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and smiled: "What does that have to do with me? ”

The Marquis of Habs also had a mysterious smile, as the Minister of Justice of the Empire, the Marquis no longer knows how many prisoners have been arraigned, and no subtle expression will be let go by the Marquis.

It is precisely because of this that the Marquis of Habs is now eighty percent sure that what is written in Bishop Gavin's letter is indeed not wrong, and that this Bishop Geoffrey is the high-ranking traitor of the church who has been secretly dealing with the imperial side.

"Bishop Geoffrey, it seems that I may need a hint for you, the previous head of the Golden Feather Parrot family was none other than Edgar, the former Imperial Interior Secretary, who died during the celebration not long ago."

Bishop Jeffrey simply closed his mouth, and an ominous premonition began to creep up in the Bishop's heart.

"Do you need me to elaborate, Dear Bishop Geoffrey? Your one-line contact with the Edgards may be stealthy enough, but it can't hide from the prying eyes of those who care about it. ”

Bishop Jeffrey took a deep breath.

Bishop Geoffrey had imagined countless times the day his identity would be revealed since the day he chose to cooperate with the Empire, and the mixture of fear and panic was like a poisonous snake wrapped around his body, reaching its peak at this moment, and even making it difficult for him to breathe.

The betrayal began with Bishop Geoffrey's fear of the Pope.

As a man who has spent most of his life in the Church, Bishop Jeffrey has always given the impression of a dog who is extremely loyal to His Majesty the Pope, with no merit other than obedience.

But what few people notice is that even a dog has its own ideas.

Dogs are also afraid, and after seeing and personally executing many of his former colleagues, Bishop Geoffrey, who is getting older and less courageous, suddenly becomes frightened one day.

If His Majesty the Pope loses trust in him one day, will he die a tragic death like his colleagues?

And even if Pope Enshir has always maintained his trust in himself, but His Majesty the Pope is old, once His Majesty the Pope dies, will the next Pope really tolerate a "loyal dog of the former dynasty" like himself?

You must know that in the Sbani Empire, where the emperor is hereditary, there is still a saying that there is a son of heaven and a courtier, let alone the Church of Light with a pope election system?

So Bishop Geoffrey resolutely betrayed the Pope, and quietly hooked up with the Empire a few years ago, in order to leave himself a way out.

Under the guidance and cooperation of Edgar, the head of the secret intelligence organization of the Spany Empire, Bishop Jeffrey used his authority to unknowingly send a large amount of confidential information about the church.

These pieces of information include the identities of the Church lurking in the city of Ridmar, and it is this information that triggered a cleansing of the secret power of the church in Ridmar City by the Spany Empire, which eventually led to the current power of the Inquisition and the Church of Light in Ridmar City, which still lacks enough eyes and ears.

It's just that although these have weakened the power of some churches and Pope Enhill to a certain extent, they are completely petty and inconsequential to the overall situation.

To make matters worse, Pope Enhil, though old, is not yet old enough to be completely confused, and has been sending people to investigate the traitor who leaked the secrets.

Moreover, not long ago, Bishop Geoffrey stumbled upon the Inquisition, which had lost a lot of men in Ridmar City because of this incident, had also been secretly investigating the matter.

All this alarmed Bishop Geoffrey, who immediately appealed to the Imperial side for help, and Edgar generously promised to find a way to help Bishop Geoffrey escape.

On the eve of the preparation of the escape plan, the miracle of Varna reached the Holy See, and then Leo the Divine Favor also came to the Holy See.

To be honest, at the outset, Bishop Geoffrey never imagined that Pope Enshire would suffer a defeat in that struggle, but things turned out to be more than anyone expected.

Bishop Gavin's support, the strange resonance between Michael's scepter and the Divine Favor, the sudden explosion in the council chamber, and the ensuing vote.

During the whole voting event, Bishop Geoffrey should have voted for His Majesty Pope Enhill without hesitation, as he had always done, but that day he hesitated.

Because Bishop Jeffrey suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity for himself.

Even if he was able to escape from the Holy See with Edgar's help, Jeffrey would have to spend his life in endless escape and fear.

But if he helps Gavin and the Divine Favor to bring down the Pope, Jeffrey will not only be able to continue to enjoy the authority of the cardinal, but may even gain more power.

Jeffrey finally chose to support Bishop Gavin, and for the first time, Pope Enhill's order was rejected by the bishops, and the opposition led by Gavin was officially established.

In the aftermath, there have been many people who do not understand why Bishop Geoffrey, the loyal dog, suddenly betrayed the pope, and these people have made countless reasons for Bishop Geoffrey, but they have ignored one thing.

It seems that no matter how loyal and obedient the dog is, it will still have its own thoughts and its own ** in its head after all.

Memories crossed Bishop Geoffrey's mind, and although he knew that his affairs had been revealed, Bishop Geoffrey decided to make a final struggle: "I betrayed His Majesty Pope Enshil. Not only me, but also Lord Leo and Bishop Gavin are traitors to His Majesty the Pope. ”

"Really?" The Marquis of Habs smiled slightly, took out a secret letter from his bosom and threw it into the hands of Bishop Geoffrey: "Then how should you explain this secret letter found in the secret room of the Edgar man's study, Lord Bishop?" ”

This secret letter was like the straw that broke the camel's back, crushing Bishop Geoffrey's ambition that had just burned in his heart into ashes, leaving only endless frustration and despair.

Even with a glance at the envelope, Bishop Jeffrey knew that the letter in his hand had been quietly sent out of the Holy See ten days earlier, and that it contained the latest movements of Gavin and other opposition groups.

The letter, while indeed delivered to Edgar, turned out to be an important piece of evidence for Bishop Geoffrey's own identification.

"You won." Bishop Jeffrey sighed, "I just don't understand why Lord Leo would let you outsiders punish me, the traitor of the church, do you—"

Bishop Geoffrey paused suddenly, for he understood something from the smiling gaze of the Marquis of Habs.

Something that could save his life.

The cardinal slowly stood up, slowly walked in front of the eldest princess, and slowly knelt down.

"Your Royal Highness, Honorable Eldest Princess, please accept my allegiance to you and Lord Leo."
