“......”

To be honest, Pius XIII was quite worried about this, not knowing what was going to happen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info You have to know that he is the Pope of Rome, not some ordinary person. If Edward did find a legitimate reason for rebellion, it would have been a disaster, and it wasn't just his problem. The position of the Pope of Rome is not just something that can be sat on by the strong. Once he became the new Pope of Rome...... The consequences will be unimaginable, and I don't know what will become of the church in the future.

So, although he was still very interested in Naki Sakuraba's suggestion, he had to fully consider it. The safety of the church is the most important thing, even if there is a war with the secret party, as long as he is there, although there will be some losses, but at least it will not have a big impact on the church. And if it was Edward...... Maybe it won't happen in a short time, but in a long time, the Church of Rome is likely to collapse. It's not a joke, it's extremely serious.

"If you can really guarantee my safety......" said Pius XIII after a long hesitation, "I can consider this. ”

"Is it just a consideration?"

"That's right, this kind of thing still needs me to think about it carefully, and even if I decide to do it, I won't just announce it. ”

"What's going to be done?"

"This agreement will be released after some deliberation, so I can't give you a precise answer. If you had to put it that way...... It will take about two to three days, and then you will know if it has worked out. ”

“...... I remember you should have said that there are many people who support war, right? If that's the case, how can it be achieved?" Hearing this, Sakuraba Naki frowned suddenly.

"You're so naïve. ”

"What did you say?"

"I said you were naïve. Pius XIII said lightly, "Do you really think that I really don't have any methods? Absolute democracy does not exist, otherwise how would the agreement with the Bloods proposed at that time be born?"

“...... In other words, you're pretty sure?"

"How to say it, I am sure, but it can only be regarded as average, not very big. This kind of thing, although I can influence part of it, I can't completely control it and become my dictatorship. So, there will be a lot of variables, and I can't promise you anything until you get the final result. ”

“...... Isn't that ......?"

"That's right. ”

“...... Okay, I see, so, that is, after three days, you're going to get an accurate result, right?"

"So to speak. ”

"And before that?"

"What do you mean?" the Pope didn't know what Sakuraba meant by the word.

"Until you come up with a specific plan, you probably won't make a move against the secret party, right?"

"That's right. ”

"Whatever happened?"

“...... I've said it, and I can't guarantee it, but I can tell you that if nothing else, it's going to be fine. Staring into Naki Sakuraba's eyes, Patronus XIII said.

"After all, you are the great Pope of Rome, and we will definitely believe you. Then, Blake, who was on the side, said, "In that case, then we will retire first, and we will not bother you here anymore......"

"Wait!" Just as the three Lancelots were about to turn to leave, Pius XIII suddenly stopped them.

"Is there anything wrong, Your Excellency?"

"I want to ask you...... Who assigned you to this task?"

“...... Are you trying to ask the identity of the person who made us do this?"

"I know you're human, and I know the vampires must have told you to do it, but what kind of race can you tell us?" Pius XIII said in a deep voice, "Since I've promised to help you, why don't you give me a brief explanation?" ”

“...... It's the McCarvey family. ”

"What?"

"House McCarvey, their lord made us do this, that's all. Lancelot replied.

"The McCarvey family?" Upon hearing this, Pius XIII was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a few moments, he waved his hand slightly and motioned for Lancelot to leave first, "You guys go, let Lucia take you out of here." If you continue to stay, you will easily find out. In that case, don't blame me for being rude. ”

"Got it. One last glance at the aged pope, and the four of them pushed open the door and left, and Pius XIII's gaze remained on the door until it was closed......

......

"Lucia, can I ask you a question?" Lancelot whispered after leaving the Holy Land.

"What's the matter?"

"Isn't this so-called Pius XIII, the Pope of Rome, in a very awkward position in the Church?"

"What do you mean by asking this question?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to learn about it. Because it seems that this so-called Pope of Rome is very restricted in many words and deeds......"

“...... That's right. Sighing slightly, Lucia said, "His Majesty the Pope is indeed subject to many restrictions, because what should the previous popes say...... It is only a matter of considering his strength in governing the church, and not of other aspects. That is, the strength of successive popes was generally weak. And the one who can hold the most power is actually the Grand Master of the Templar Order, because he represents the highest combat power of the Church. Even if the previous Grand Master was at odds with the Pope, at least there would not be any overt conflict. And now Grand Master Edward and Pope Pius XIII can already be said to be a well-known feud...... And the differences of opinion are very serious. Therefore, for his own sake, and for the sake of the Church, His Holiness the Pope had to be extremely cautious, and he had to try not to touch Edward's sensitive nerves. ”

"You look tired......

"yes...... I think so too......" Lucia's gaze fell into the distance and said softly, "He agreed to your request, didn't he?"

"Well, I said that the final conclusion would be reached in three days...... When that happens, you'll know if it's going to work. (To be continued.) )
