Chapter 178 Blackmail
Hearing Bishop Elvis’s sarcasm, Helen relaxed a little, seeing that the other party’s attitude would not put her sister to death.
Of course, she would not naively think that the other party would honestly send the person back. If the church had planned to do so, it would have done so long ago, but now it was quietly contacting her.
It seems that I have to meet some of the other party's requirements.
She slowed down her tone and said tentatively: "Then, please send Fanny back. My husband and I will strictly control this child. Our family will be grateful to the church and you personally. Endless.”
Elvis smiled slightly, "Of course we will send Dame Fanny back safely, but..."
"If the church has any difficulties, I will do my best to help. ”
Are you asking for donations? I hope the other person won’t open his mouth like a lion.
Bishop Elvis asked unhurriedly: "Your Highness, why are you and your husband visiting the Horn League this time?"
"It's just normal sex. It’s just a state visit, but we should also visit each other frequently, just like visiting neighbors.”
"Visiting? Haha, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as visiting?"
Helen frowned: "I don't understand what you mean."
Elvis's voice suddenly rose.
"Your Highness, let me remind you. Your husband's visit to Nisburg this time is definitely not a routine state visit, but to participate in a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the church!"
"Your Excellency, Bishop, I think you are a little delusional!"
"No, we already have exact information. A month ago, the Horn Alliance issued a secret initiative to surrounding countries and invited the heads of these countries to come to Nisberg for a meeting."
Hervey There was a coldness in Si's voice.
“This is a shady meeting, a meeting that goes against the teachings of Heavenly Father. It aims to discuss how to curb the growth of the church’s power in the Corner Bay area, and even reduce the church’s influence among the people! ”
He suddenly became excited.
"Ah! How despicable and dirty this is. The purpose of our witch-hunting campaign is to protect ordinary people from evil forces. This is a just cause, this is a glorious cause, and the people also Supporting us proves that what we are doing is absolutely correct.”
“But these mediocre people in power actually think that their rights have been violated. They are blinded and unable to see the voice of the people and the erosion of evil forces. They are only extremely sensitive to the power in their own hands. "
"I can say with absolute certainty that some of them must have fallen. These people have either personally come into contact with those forbidden powers, or they have become the minions of the wizard."
" This is a shameful betrayal! This is a despicable conspiracy!"
"Your husband, the Duke of Eaton, is one of the people involved in this conspiracy, otherwise he would not be ahead of other countries! Arrive at Nisburg early.”
Bishop Elvis said so much in one breath, and he was panting with emotion.
Helen secretly despised it. If your church hadn't stretched its hand too far, how could it have caused a backlash from so many countries?
Only using the name of witch hunting to embezzle wealth and attack dissidents, but also blatantly dictate the policies of various countries, and even target foreign business travelers. This makes the Kakuwan countries, which are founded on business, return How to maintain it?
As far as the Grand Duchess knows, in Eton alone, the number of foreign business arrivals this year has not increased but has declined slightly compared to last year.
She shook her head and said, "I'm just a woman. I don't know about any messy conspiracies. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go directly to my husband."
In fact, in Helen's heart He knows all this clearly, and as a mage, he is even more happy to see countries unite to attack the church.
The bishop chuckled and said, "Whether you really didn't know before or you pretended not to know, now that I say this, you must know. For the sake of your family's reputation, we also want to control Lord Fannie's affairs to a certain extent." "I guess your husband is not happy to see that his sister-in-law is a witch?"
This is exactly Helen's weakness. She really doesn't want more people to know her sister's secret, including herself. husband. "The so-called conspiracy is all your own words, Your Excellency the Bishop. Besides, what can I do if I know?"
The bishop stated his purpose: "I hope you can persuade me. Grand Duke, let him stand on the side of our church."
Helen looked embarrassed: "Although I am the Grand Duke, I cannot influence national policies."
Bishop Elvis laughed loudly: "Your Highness is joking. Who doesn't know your influence in the Eaton court? Not to mention that you yourself are deeply loved by the people, and your husband's position as Grand Duke is also well-earned." Is it because of the marriage with your family?”
“I believe that His Majesty the Grand Duke will attach great importance to His Highness’s opinion. Besides, why should a beauty like you be more considerate? Can a man have the heart to refuse? "
The last sentence was already a naked tease, and Helen's face turned red with anger.
"Your Excellency, please pay attention to your words. If I don't agree to your request, do you dare to keep a noble in prison?"
"Oh, of course we don't dare to do this. Yes. But we have an obligation to inform the people of Eaton about this and let them take precautions. I have already thought about the contents of the notice.”
Elvis pretended to be serious and said in an official tone:
“This is to inform you that Dame Fanny, the sister of the Grand Duchess of Eton, has shown signs of awakening her magic power. This poor girl may have been in other places. She went astray under the temptation of a wizard. Due to her noble status, we cannot take measures. However, in view of the dangers of wizards, the church has the obligation to remind everyone to be more careful. May the glory of the Heavenly Father guide this poor girl to the right path again. ."
"You are despicable! The people will not believe you!"
Helen was furious, pointing at Elvis, if they were allowed to do this, Fanny's life would be ruined. It's all over.
"You will believe it. We have our own method of stimulating the magic power of wizards. Just try it with the magic stone and you will know. We will show the evidence to the people in public before releasing your sister!"
"Haha, although your husband is the Grand Duke, there are still many forces in the country who want to take his place, right? After what happened, can his position still be secure?"
It can be seen that the Grand Duchess is His heart was struggling fiercely.
Finally she said in a compromised manner: "Okay, as long as you can keep the secret, I will find a way to persuade my husband to withdraw from this negotiation."
Elvis shook his head: "I'm sorry, Your Highness! I'm afraid you misunderstood me. What I mean by standing on our side is not just quitting the conspiracy."
"Then what do you want?"
But the bishop's eyes were shining and he said: "Our condition is that your husband will use all means to disrupt this meeting. Note, all means!"
Hearing the bishop's words Helen knew that the two parties could no longer negotiate.
She was silent for nearly a minute pretending to be thinking, and finally said: "Your Excellency, can you give me a day to think about it carefully?"
Hervy Si showed a victorious smile.
"Okay, Your Highness, I will give you one day. If we can't wait for your reply by this time tomorrow, then don't blame us for being rude!"
After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for the princess to respond.
The bishop walked out of the embassy gate and stepped into his carriage. The coachman flicked his whip and the carriage started to move.
However, no one on the street noticed that an emerald-green bird spread its wings from a window of the embassy and flew in the same direction as the carriage.
