I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World
Chapter 140 Gathering and Conspiring
"Boom boom boom!"
Phil Gray knocked on the door of the Duke's Mansion, but a strange middle-aged man came out.
He had a big belly and a greasy face. He wore an emerald ring on his thumb and was leaning on a cane. Behind him were two servants, respectfully holding fruits and pipes.
Phil Gray was a little surprised. Ernest had such a relative?
"Excuse me, are the Duke of Surrey and Mr. Ernest here?" Phil Gray peeked inside with his peripheral vision and found that the layout of the living room was completely different from before. Some of the decorations and portraits were very exaggerated and did not resemble the style of the Duke of Surrey.
"Haha, they are not here!" The man looked them up and down with great interest, walked around them with his crutches, and his eyebrows moved up and down.
Phil Gray suppressed the urge to continue asking questions, as his intuition told him that this man didn't seem like a good person.
"Excuse me, we may have come to the wrong place!" Phil Gray said embarrassedly.
"Well, there is no Duke of Surrey here, only Duke Bradrick Ingersoll." The man raised his head and walked towards the living room humming a little tune.
The two footmen behind him smiled at them and closed the door.
"What's going on? Have they moved?" Eli held his chin, somewhat puzzled. He glanced at the clematis at the door again. The flowers were still in full bloom. It was indeed the Duke's Mansion.
"Think about the tone of that person just now. I think the Duke of Surrey and Ernest may not be in a good situation now. The princess will send people to attack us, so there is no reason not to make things difficult for them. What's more, the king is also a suspect. They know about the royal scandal, and the king must be resentful." Phil Gray analyzed carefully.
"Are they in danger?"
"I don't think so. After all, the Duke of Surrey has been the Duke for so many years and has enough influence in this capital. The King and the Princess should not be able to cause any danger to them. At most..."
"What's the most?"
"Losing the original power and status." Phil Gray paused and continued.
On the way, they found a few friendly-looking people to inquire about the matter, and indeed they heard that the Duke of Surrey was stripped of his title for deceiving the king and blaspheming the royal family.
Currently, the family has moved out of the Duke's Palace and lives in a large manor on the outskirts of the city.
"Oh, this king, I thought he was a good monarch who would sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice." Eli rolled his eyes and folded his arms. They had already boarded the carriage and were heading to the new manor there.
"How could that be? George was killed because that was his stain, and also because of the coercion of two church elders. A person who has held power for so many years would have been corrupted by power and reputation. But compared to George's cruelty and bloodiness, let's just let him continue to be the father." Phil Gray smiled.
"arrive."
The carriage stopped and the driver said happily.
They gave him a silver coin and entered the new manor.
The manor was surrounded by a wooden fence, and clematis were planted under the fence. Clusters of purple and white flowers were blooming vigorously. A girl was holding a small bucket with her back to them and watering them.
"That's right. Although we haven't met each other for many times, I recognize your back, Simona! Where's your brother?"
Eli walked over excitedly and snapped his fingers lightly, and more and more clematis spread out.
"Ah! What's going on?" Simona turned around in surprise and saw the two people behind her. "Wow, you are my brother's friends? You're back!"
"Yes, where's your brother?" Phil Gray asked.
"He and his father went to find a carpenter to order new furniture, but they should be back soon." Simona looked up at the sky. It was already mid-afternoon, but the sun was still a little dazzling. "Come in and sit down. Brother will definitely be very happy to be back!"
"Okay." They followed Simona to the living room, which was simply decorated and a bit empty.
"Please sit down, I'll make some tea for you." Simona smiled, and the white dress she wore made her look very ladylike.
"Ok."
After Simona handed over the tea, Phil Gray said, "Besides depriving your father of his title, did the king and princess do anything bad to you?"
"No, they don't dare." Simona smiled slightly, "In fact, neither of us is attached to any title. My brother likes to be a knight in the Church of Fate, and I like to grow flowers like my mother. Now this place is close to the outskirts of the city and it's quiet. I can build my own garden here."
"That's fine."
They chatted casually for a while until the Duke of Surrey and Ernest opened the door:
"Hello!" Phil Gray greeted first, not knowing how to address the Duke of Surrey, after all, he was not a duke now.
"Oh, hello." The Duke of Surrey nodded at them and went upstairs, leaving them ample space to communicate.
"You're back!" Ernest was surprised and excited. He subconsciously wanted to salute, but was stopped by Phil Gray.
"Yes, we are back. This time we are here to find you. Let's go to the Dawn Cult together."
Ernest hesitated, then asked, "What about Patrick? Didn't you find him?"
"Found him. Don't worry. He's fine." Phil Gray smiled and briefly told them about his and Patrick's experiences, leaving out some things that could not be said. He felt like he was about to become a storyteller, which made Simona exclaim in amazement.
Ernest was very angry. He heard about the danger Phil Gray was in and regretted that he was not there to protect His Holiness the Pope.
"Princess Sani, I will never let her go!" He clenched his sword. This princess not only caused his mother's death and his father's loss of title, but also put the Pope he was protecting into danger.
"Brother." Simona grabbed Ernest and called out softly.
Phil Gray patted his shoulder, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "We still have to hurry, so we have to deal with her as soon as possible. We will sneak into the palace tonight."
"Ah?" Simona originally thought that he would persuade her brother, but she didn't expect that he would directly agree to the plan to kill the princess. This was too crazy. "There are still many gods in the palace. It's too dangerous for you to go like this, right?"
"It's okay, we can deal with her secretly." Phil Gray smiled mysteriously.
