I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World
Chapter 78 Destiny Choice
Phil Gray then realized that it was no wonder that George disdained to inherit the position of Duke, and no wonder that in the scene seen by the Eye of Destiny, George would ascend to the throne.
Although he used extremely cruel and despicable means, ignoring those ethical concepts, he is indeed the most qualified to sit on the throne.
The king stood there in a daze. He stumbled towards the throne, leaving his back to everyone.
"No, father, father, save me!" George shouted, and everyone knew that he was shouting at the king.
"Shut up!"
The king turned his head, his eyes were red, not sure whether it was because of anger or sadness.
However, being a king for more than 20 years had hardened his heart. Family affection and blood ties could not compare to the power of the throne, not to mention a son who was born unexpectedly.
In any case, it is unwise to go against the church.
Thinking of this, he calmed down a little, and looked at the two elders of the palace, "I'm sorry to both of you laugh at me, but I will not protect any sinner, even if that person is my own son."
"Brother, how could you..." Sunny looked at the king sadly, holding her son's hand tightly.
George was disheartened, as his last hope of survival was gone.
"We admire your fairness. May the light of the Day Prophet bless you forever." Glen said, bringing some comfort to the king who had just lost face.
He called the guards and solemnly asked them to take George away and conduct a public trial as instructed before.
Of course, the guards were repeatedly asked to keep it strictly confidential.
Princess Sunny also followed, crying and wailing all the way, but she realized that she was unable to rescue George.
Phil Gray finally felt like the dust had settled.
However, when he looked at Ernest's slightly trembling body behind him, he felt it necessary to help him solve his doubts.
"Duke of Surrey, I would like to ask why you admitted that George was your illegitimate son? The central figures of that incident were only the princess, His Majesty the King, and Pope Darcy, who probably knew nothing about it. So why did you get involved?"
Phil Gray walked up to the Duke of Surrey and asked.
The old-looking duke was still wiping away tears, seemingly drowning in guilt towards his wife and children.
Ernest's gaze turned over calmly. Although he was wearing a mask, Phil Gray could feel his extremely complicated and distorted expression.
Hearing this question, the Duke of Surrey replied with a trembling voice, "Princess Sani and I have similar names, and we grew up almost together. I regard her as my own sister. After she found out she was pregnant, she came to me crying and begged me to help her. I must not tell her brother, otherwise not only will the king know that she drugged the Pope of Fate, but it will also expose the scandal of the royal family..."
"But didn't you consider how your wife would feel when she heard about this?" Phil Gray asked.
"I... I was planning to tell her, but she was pregnant and I didn't want to make her worried and angry. Who would have thought..." The Duke of Surrey squatted on the ground.
"Who would have thought that when she was giving birth, she heard from others the news that you and the princess had an illegitimate child, and died in childbirth, leaving behind only a daughter. And your son left here because of this and has never been seen since, right?" Phil Gray asked speculatively.
The Duke of Surrey did not answer, but sobbed softly. It seemed that this was the truth of the matter.
Therefore, even though Ernest was expelled from the Church of Destiny, he never thought of returning to the Duke's Palace.
"I am a failed husband and father. My wife died and my son left me when he was in his teens. I heard that he became a Knight of Destiny after many twists and turns, but was expelled more than ten years ago. I have been looking for him and I really want to say sorry to him!" After a long silence, the Duke of Surrey stood up and said slowly.
Ernest seemed unable to bear it any longer and he walked straight out of the palace.
However, the king did not notice his disrespect. He just sat on the throne with a frown on his face, in a daze, not saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Patrick watched his companions leave, pulled Raphael Gray's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"
"Let him calm down first." Eli answered first.
Phil Gray also nodded.
The two elders obviously didn't care about these things. They only cared about whether George could be tried in public in the afternoon.
"The two elders must have had a hard journey. You should go and rest first." The king came to his senses and said tiredly when he saw them still there.
They left the palace one after the other with the Duke of Surrey.
Elder Grant seemed to be in a good mood. After George died in the afternoon, he could bring the newly found Son of God back to the church. I wonder if the old Pope would be very happy?
Walking out of the palace, Ernest was standing outside. His face looked much calmer and he seemed to have accepted everything.
When he saw the old and sad Duke of Surrey walking out with a cane, he recalled the happy days of his childhood.
He taught me how to use the sword step by step, and I was so happy when I defeated him for the first time, but now, everything has changed.
Fate is really cruel.
But how could he, who believed in the God of Fate, blame fate?
Phil Gray pursed his lips and looked at the confused Ernest. "Now that you know the truth, the choice of your future destiny is in your hands. What will you choose?"
Ernest was stunned for a moment, then he smiled with a hint of relief, "I think I'll forgive him this time."
