The former pope's confidant is not a fool, so he naturally understands that Irina's words are uneasy and kind.But under the pressure of reality, he also had to admit that what Irina said made sense, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it touched his heart.

What's more, the confidants of the former pope didn't want to mix with Odin's little emperor. After all, he knew exactly who he was in the world.And at his age, even if he becomes the pope, he will not be able to survive the 30-year term, so the confidant of the former pope only wants to die in the cardinal seat.

And even such a humble wish was difficult to be recognized by Odin's little emperor, so the former pope's confidant was shamefully moved by Irina's instigation.

"Your Excellency, I am very aware of your concerns, and I also understand that some of my father's actions made it hard for you to believe that Queen Obstar would accept your surrender." Irina said softly and patiently: "But you We've reached a dilemma, so why would you give up the last bit of decency under Odin's pressure every step of the way?"

"But you say it so nicely, how can you guarantee that I won't be squeezed to death when I go to Marianne's place?" The upset former pope's confidant was not interested in maintaining a superficial peace with Lorna, so he said impatiently: "Don't you You have already been bought by the little girl from Obstar, so you come to give me lectures?"

The confidant of the former pope squinted at Irina’s face, as if he wanted to see the application of the former lord, saying it was to embolden himself, or to persuade himself: “Ma’am, I don’t think you have forgotten Aub The relationship between Queen Star and you."

Although Irina never met Marianne, the complicated trajectories of the two and the unresolved grievances and hatred are enough to become an enduring source of inspiration for literati.

In this regard, Irina felt nothing, after all, she and Marianna did not have any hatred that had to be broken.To put it bluntly, Mariana's second divorce was because the Pope wanted to marry Irina to a powerful party, so he intervened in the feud between Cantero and Obsta, which made Mariana very upset. Go back to Obstar shamelessly.

But there is a grievance and a debtor. Mariana has already taken revenge on Seys for this, and even made the Pope very embarrassed.

At this time, Mariana didn't need to beat the dog in the water, making others think she was a mean person.

Besides, in Irina's hands, there is one more important thing.

"Your Excellency, do you know what is the biggest difference between Obsta and Odin?" Faced with the controversy between herself and Mariana, Irina avoided talking about it, and directly brought the topic back to the former pope's confidant: " If there is no important reason, I will not talk nonsense in front of you."

Irina sighed, and finally let go of the disguise she had been wearing all along: "Didn't you find out? Queen Obstar couldn't find someone who could succeed the Pope, but she didn't want the two from the Northern Alliance to take office, so That’s why my brother was brought to Obstar from the Principality of Brittania, and then he took me there.”

"..." The confidant of the former Pope wanted to ask if you were worrying too much, but considering that the young people he met were becoming more and more enchanting, so Irina's assumption may not be false.

What's more, Dan Hill used the name of the Earl of Kent to seek benefits from Odin, so without Marianne's backing, how dare he directly fall out with Odin.

Thinking of this, the former Pope's confidant couldn't help but trust Irina a little more, and asked after a short silence: "Then what Queen Obstadt means...does she want me to be Pope?"

Meeting the expectant eyes of the other party, Irina nodded, and said solemnly: "She can't push Cardinal Felipe, who has less than a year of qualifications, to the position, so I can only let you make a transition."

It stands to reason that it is extremely shameful to be used as a stand-in to occupy the place, but the little emperor with Odin is not a man in front of him, which makes Marianne's behavior not so excessive.At least compared to the local archbishop who has been so wronged, being a puppet pope who will abdicate in a few years... doesn't seem to be a shameful thing.After all, earn face!Not cold.

Moreover, the pope who abdicated due to public affairs is much more comfortable than when he was in power. Not only can he enjoy the treatment similar to his tenure, but he doesn't even have to bear the responsibilities and scapegoats of the pope, so he is a puppet pope for the old pope's confidant... ...doesn't seem too bad.

Seeing that her words had worked, Irina took advantage of the victory and chased after her: "You are the one who takes the seat for Cardinal Felipe, so Queen Obsta will definitely treat you well, won't you?"

The confidant of the former pope tapped his knees a few times with his fingers, finally seeing Irina's delicate and flowery face, he suddenly felt a chill.

[Her face is as perfect as a smiling saint, but at the moment she turned her back to everyone, she was twisted and vicious like a priest of a fallen goddess. 】

For some reason, the former Pope suddenly had such a sentence in his heart, and then he stretched out his hand to Irina: "I'm sorry to trouble you, but please... pass on my sincerity to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Of course." Irina held back the other's outstretched hand, her expression becoming sweeter: "You won't be disappointed in her, my dear Uncle Claude."

At this moment, Irina purposely used a more intimate name, indicating that they were about to become a community of destiny.

After Cardinal Claude left, Irina suppressed the smile on her face, washed her face, and went to Lucius after she calmed down.

"Is it done?" Lucius, who was in charge of delivering the message, was sent back to the Papal Kingdom together with Irina, so Abela was only guarded by Glisa, which made Lucius not sleep well these days. I feel that I am afraid that Abela will cause some troubles in Cantero or Obstar... especially Obsta, which will make Glisa feel embarrassed: "Does Cardinal Claude agree to stand on our side?" ?”

Irina stared at Lucius's face cut by light and shadow, nodded silently and expressionlessly: "He agrees to be Cardinal Felipe's transition person, but I hope Her Majesty the Queen of Obstar can Fulfill her promise, find the real murderer of my father for me and my brother, and then give my brother a legitimate land position."

The name of an empty earl is like a loft in the sky, so Irina knew very well that if she wanted to confirm Dan Hill's identity, she had to sell the will and her father's legacy at the best price.

"In addition, I have one more request." Thinking of Cardinal Claude who had just left, Irina's voice brought a trace of pleading: "Please don't embarrass Cardinal Claude, you and Your Majesty the Queen, he replaced my father. I have sold my life for more than 30 years, and I have tried my best to keep my life under Odin's every step of the way."

As far as the kindness to the previous pope was concerned, Cardinal Claude didn't say that he would swear allegiance to the death, but he would repay his kindness, so Irina hoped that he would start well and end well.
