Chapter Twenty-Eight: An Unexpected Secret
Listening to Elaine's words, Alan thought a lot at once, and every bit of the past four years came to mind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
From the very beginning, what happened in the Holy See canteen, to the fact that Elaine returned to him later, every time Alan felt that the distance between the two was closer, and the next moment he would be deliberately alienated by Elaine.
Alan had also considered whether Elaine didn't have a little feeling for herself, but it didn't seem to be like this, and now, Alan understood the reason why Elaine did this.
He quietly looked at the girl in front of him, was silent for a moment, and slowly asked, "Elaine, ask yourself, what kind of feelings do you have for me." ”
Elaine's face, which had been calm, finally rippled, "Your Highness, don't force me to ......"
Alan understood, and he pulled Elaine into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Your Highness, don't ...... like this"
Elaine's heart was like a mess, and when she returned to Allen under the guidance of the Pope, she was burdened with more than the simple task of taking care of Allen and teaching etiquette.
As the son of God, Allen's words and deeds must be in accordance with the rules, and if he does anything rude, he is likely to be used to make a fuss when he succeeds to the throne in the future.
Although Elaine didn't know exactly what the Pope's plans and arrangements were, she knew that an important role by Allen's side was to prevent Allen from being framed in this regard.
Although the purge four years ago made the interior of the Holy See much cleaner, it does not mean that everyone will rest on their laurels and give up their peeps into that supreme position. In fact, in the past four years, Eren has encountered many ceremonial crises, and if it weren't for Elaine by his side, Eren would probably have been impeached and lost his position as the Holy Son.
This is why Elaine does have feelings for Allen, but she has been actively estranged as soon as the relationship between the two is close. If the two did come together, it would be equivalent to sending a huge handle to those who peeped at the scepter out of thin air, and it would also deal a fatal blow to the Pope's plan.
"Elaine, can you wait for me?" Although Alan has always wanted to change the doctrine of the Holy See, he must not say this to Elaine, so it is better to use white lies to appease Elaine first.
Elaine gave up struggling, "What does Your Highness mean?"
"When I find an heir, I'll pass the throne directly to him, and then we can be together. Alan stared into Elaine's eyes, affectionately revealing his thoughts.
"Your Highness. Now Elaine's mind was even more confused, and the method that Eren said did not violate any rules or teachings at all, but she was a little unacceptable for a while. The Pope represents the supreme power of this continent, except for the Pope whose name has been erased, Elaine has not heard of any Pope who voluntarily abdicated, and this must not be a scene that Edward IV wants to see.
"Elaine, I really love you, and I don't care about anything else, so, can you wait for me?" Although Alan is cheating on Elaine, his intention to like Elaine is indeed not adulterated at all.
"Your Highness......" As a sensual woman, the softness in Elaine's heart was completely touched by Allen, but the next moment, the face of Edward IV suddenly appeared in Elaine's mind.
Edward IV could no longer see that kind smile on his face, and said to himself with infinite disappointment and regret:
"Elaine, I'm disappointed......"
Elaine woke up instantly, and she pushed Alan away,
"Your Highness, we can't do this, you don't know how much His Majesty the Pope has paid for you, if you give up this position for me, this supreme right will inevitably be stolen by those people, this is definitely not what His Majesty the Pope wants to see!"
Elaine's words were completely unexpected by Allen, but he was a little unimpressed by Elaine's words,
"Elaine, it's okay, believe me, can't I deal with those bishops, what you and the Pope are worried about will not happen, I will definitely take care of the Holy See after I succeed to the throne in ......"
"Your Highness, you don't understand anything, if there is no support from others, how can those local bishops be so bold! It's all ......" Saying this, Elaine reacted, fortunately there was no one around at this time, she hurriedly pulled Alan towards the dormitory, "Your Highness, I will go and I will talk to you in detail." ”
At this time, Alan was full of sadness in his heart, thinking that after studying in the Holy See for four years, he had already understood everything, and even began to think about various reform measures in the future, but looking at Elaine's meaning, there were still many things that he didn't know.
This is undoubtedly a very shocking thing for a time-traveler who thinks of himself as the protagonist, like thinking that after some experience, he can already take charge on his own, but he is suddenly told that all this is the illusion of being protected. This sense of loss is not ordinary.
......
Forbidden mountains, sealed by the gods.
"I've never seen anything like this in more than 20 years. Thor looked at the intricate lines that kept flickering in front of him, and his tone was quite heavy.
"Then you can't predict how long it will last, can you?" It's only been four years since he arrived in the Forbidden Mountains, and Les looks like he's ten years old.
"It is impossible to predict, this power is not something we can understand, let's report to the Pope as soon as possible. Thor glanced at the seal again, worried, "Will that device still work?"
"Rest assured, in perfect condition. Les took a cyan stone from his bosom, showed it to Thor, and then turned and walked down the hill.
......
"Elders!" Hearing everything Elaine said, Alan cried out in disbelief, "Isn't that already disbanded?"
"The Presbyterian Church was set up to restrain the power of the Pope, how could it be dissolved. Elaine shook her head worriedly, "It's just that because of Rodney, the Council of Elders has been reorganized and turned into the shadows, and it has become very different from before. ”
The Rodney that Elaine said was as famous as St. Valentine's Pope, but one had a good reputation and the other was notorious.
Alan was also very impressed by this man, the 70th Pope Rodney, who represented a dark age. At the beginning of Rodney's tenure, he committed a horrific deed - the assassination of a Presbyterian member.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, all 11 elders of the year were killed, and the Holy See entered the era of Rodney's dictatorship.
It is not known what the mad pope did during his reign, but the Holy See later destroyed all records in this regard, and even the Holy See did not leave a single word within the Holy See, and from this point of view, this Rodney Pope did something very dishonorable.
Elaine continued, "The reorganized Council of Elders has gone from the open to the dark, and even the successive popes themselves do not know the details of the members of the Presbyterian Church, and the organization has become extreme.
Originally, their role was only to supervise and restrain the pope, but because they have been in the dark, after so many years, it has almost become a paradise for careerists. ”
Elaine didn't say any more, in fact she only knew this information, or the Pope didn't know what to tell her before leaving, and didn't ask her to keep it a secret. Perhaps the wise Edward IV knew what was going to happen.
