The Duke threw the healing device to Ian and asked him to operate it himself.He sat in the single tiger chair next to him, with his legs resting on the coffee table.His hands and arms were covered with scratches from the smashing, and his left eye was even more horrible, swollen like a rotten grape.

"You are very courageous." The Duke of Oran squinted at the priest, "Just for the words you said to me, I can break your neck right now."

Ian lowered his eyes and healed the burn on his palm: "Please forgive me for my unscrupulous words at this critical time, Lord Duke. But I am really someone you must never touch."

The Duke sneered: "You are not the first priest who was sent to my bed by Carroll. Over the years, he has been fulfilling my husband's duty to the Duchess in the bed instead of me, and I am very grateful to him. Probably he thinks Reciprocity should be reciprocated, this time I actually offered my lovely little junior with both hands."

"I am a Disciplinarian." Ian emphasized again, "Even if I invite you, both of us have violated the strictest dogma."

The Duke snorted: "The dogmas of the Holy See are rubbish. From the pope to the bishops, lovers, illegitimate children..."

"But if religious laws are strictly enforced, we will all be severely punished." Ian interrupted the Duke, "I will be exiled by the Holy See. And you, Your Excellency, if it is serious, you will be deprived of your title."

The Duke of Oran lowered his face: "Who would dare..."

He stopped.

"Have you figured it out, my lord?" Ian took away his hand, which was barely healed, and threw the healing device back to the Duke. "Your eyes need to be treated immediately."

"I may have been tricked by the bishop, but I am definitely more than a lamb sacrificed to you by him, my lord." The heat faded, and Ian's hoarse voice oozes piercing coldness, "You, the real The goal."

Amidst the buzzing sound of the healing device, the Duke of Oran was deep in thought.

"I am the No. 12 heir to the throne." After a while, the duke opened his mouth, "Prince Raphael has three children, Louis gave birth to six like a hen, and there are two princesses and their children behind him." , most of them are adults. I don't think it is very likely that they will all die suddenly."

He looked at Ian: "I have been far away from the political center of the imperial capital since I was a child, and I have no power of my own. The people who supported me back then are either old or have been kicked out of the center of power by my uncle. I am very far away from the imperial throne , Father Mitchell. I don't think I will pose any serious threat to the family in the Champs Elysees Palace. So, lured me to you with a lot of fanfare, maybe it's just Father Carol's favor. Don't think too much , Father."

Ian tidied his clothes and found that at least four or five buttons of the robe were broken, so he had to pull the neckline and hold the rice crossbar in his palm.

"Archbishop Xiali, I have always wanted to gain your favor and trust, my lord, you know that." Ian said.

The Duke said: "I am not interested in him. You can clearly convey my words to your mentor, the priest. His motives for showing favor to me are not pure. As a member of the royal family, when the Pope changes, indeed, I will There is a ticket for ten seats. But I canceled the ticket last time, and I have no other plans this time."

"The archbishop really hoped to get the votes in your hand at first." Ian said, "but the situation changed quickly. The Holy Lord ordered the Holy See to send troops to attack the Atlanta Federation, so that the archbishop can compete for the next pope." In bad situation."

"I'm sorry for him." The Duke sneered. "It's understandable why he couldn't wait to get my ticket, and he didn't hesitate to put you..."

"No, my lord." Ian looked sternly, staring at the Duke, "He doesn't want your ticket, he wants your people!"

The Duke's eyes have recovered, and he can freely shoot his hostile and defensive gaze.He threw the healing device to Ian again.

Ian said in a deep voice: "He used me to lure you into breaking the precepts, and then caught us with great fanfare. Believe me, our trial will be the harshest and most sensational. Both of us will be crucified in The shame of adultery is discredited. You will be deprived of the title, my lord. You will never be in the throne forever!"

"Say it again." The Duke said impatiently, "I'm already far away from the throne!"

"What if not?" Ian asked.

A fierce light flashed in the Duke's eyes.

His burly body rushed towards the priest, grabbed his collar, and threw him on the sofa.

There was severe pain from the dislocated shoulder, and Ian's face turned pale, and he suppressed it so as not to cry out.

"Mitchell!" The Duke seemed to have swallowed a piece of carbon in his throat, breathing out smoke and anger, "Don't play these yin and yang tricks with me. Don't try to trick me! You just want to encourage me to do something because of The matter of being exiled for treason, are you dreaming?"

Ian's eyes locked on the Duke's eyes, and he squeezed out a hoarse voice from his suppressed throat.

"Why do you think Archbishop Xiali wants to kill you, my lord? Because destroying you and making you completely disqualified from competing for the throne is the best way for him to surrender to the emperor and the crown prince and gain their support!"

"Shut up!" The Duke choked the priest's neck fiercely. "I am loyal to my uncle and support his rule. I will never..."

Ian's face turned purple, and he said with difficulty: "What if the deaths of His Majesty Adam and Queen Eugenie are abnormal?"

The Duke's hand trembled visibly, and his strength was relaxing.

The young priest, who had always been gentle and easy-going, even felt a little weak and introverted, now had a stern expression, sharp eyes, and a maturity beyond his age.

That sharp aura, like a dagger coming out of its sheath, stabbed over without a sound, causing the Duke to subconsciously raise his upper lip, revealing sharp canine teeth - this is a habit inherited by human beings from the ancestors of beasts, and it is also the way Alpha feels the killing intent instinctive reaction.

"Is this another clumsy trick of yours, Father?" The Duke said in a deep voice, "My father and mother died of the vicious infectious virus 'Pandora' infected during the inspection. A sick royal fruit and vegetable supplier infected the A logistics staff. Then there was a big outbreak in the royal flagship. And the flagship happened to be going through a three-day wormhole, which delayed the best treatment period."

Although Adam II and Queen Eugenie, who were in their prime at the time, were the key protection objects, they were still infected and fell into a severe coma on board.After disembarking, they were sent to the Imperial Hospital for emergency treatment, but they died three days later due to brain withering.

This is a tragedy that shocked the entire giant whale.At that time, there were [-] people on the ship, and only [-] survived, and they were also accompanied by serious sequelae—brain damage.

The king and queen of a country died tragically so easily.The virus then spread in different regions of various countries for about a year, swallowing nearly 300 million lives.Then one day, it disappeared without a trace.

No one knows why it disappeared, and scientists can't offer an explanation.No one knows when they will make a comeback and kill.

"What if I said," Ian clasped the Duke's wrist and pulled his hand away from his collar, "this was a suicide attack against the late emperor and successively?"

The Duke's eyes darkened: "You are just a low-level priest who just left the seminary. What secrets do you have access to? After reading a few fabricated and speculative articles on the Internet, you really have the confidence to fool me?"

"I'm not without grounds." Ian said calmly, "I have been an intern at Archbishop Xiali's official residence for the past year, working as an assistant deacon for his cardinal secretary. That secretary is the archbishop's chief confidant, following He came out of the monastery and has been there ever since."

Ian moved uncomfortably.At last the Duke moved away.

"Thank you, my lord." Ian continued, rubbing his aching chest, "Of course, as a newcomer, I don't have access to any confidential documents. I do some chores and run errands. One of my jobs is to help the A secretary to manage the accounts of the archbishop's private charitable fund."

The duke raised his thick eyebrows meaninglessly, knowing that once finances were involved, something good would happen.

"The accounts of the fund... are not too messy." Ian frowned, disgust flashed in his eyes, "I worked overtime to check the accounts by myself in order to impress the archbishop. Unauthorized embezzlement is basically inevitable..."

"But you didn't report Xiali?" The Duke smiled.

"My integrity can't stand the test, my lord." Ian's cheeks twitched, obviously still very guilty for his compromise at the time, "I just wanted the accountant to make the books as comprehensive as possible so that the fund could pass the year-end review. But in the process, I discovered something strange."

Leon went on a rampage in the mansion, breaking into the door whenever he saw it, but found nothing.

On the contrary, several couples who were hiding for pleasure were alarmed by him.An Alpha who was on the verge of attacking almost rushed over to fight him.

Ian's wristband did not allow Leon's location authorization.Leon had no choice but to dial the bracelet.But the busy voice dragged his throat and hummed for a long time, but the other party still didn't pick up.

The first floor of the mansion is so big, where can a priest be so big, where can he hide?

The boy stood in the corridor, twitching his nose to sniff the residual breath in the air.He found that in the past few days, his sense of smell has become much more sensitive than before, and it is much easier to catch the priest's breath than before.

Ian's breath was light and sweet, a trace left by him as he passed by in the corridor.Leon closed his eyes and tried to sniff, looking for the route the priest was walking on.

He seems to be heading towards the opposite side!

"It's a donation. The amount is small, and it's paid out on a monthly basis. It's a bit rare, but it's normal. But," Ian looked at the Duke, "the donation to that account has lasted for nearly 80 years! months, until now."

The seventh month of 14660 in the new calendar is the second month after the death of Empress Adam.At the same time, it was also the month when the parliament passed a vote and sent the crown of the Byron Empire to Felix IV!

Ian said: "In the beginning, it was [-] pounds a month, and then gradually increased with the increase in prices, and now it is [-] pounds a month. You can calculate it, it is a lot of money. numbers."

The Duke said: "Perhaps Archbishop Xiali is passionate about power, but he is also a person who is sincerely passionate about charity."

"It's possible." Ian said, "This sum of money has always been personally donated by Archbishop Xiali."

The Duke narrowed his eyes: "What kind of organization is the other party?"

Ian moved around on the sofa and sat leaning on the armrest.The Duke sat on the outside, very close to him.He felt that the distance between the two was still too close, but he didn't dare to remind the lion who had just calmed down for the time being.

"It's not an institution," Ian said. "It's a person, my lord. It's a nurse whose license has expired for many years."

The author has something to say: explain the new title.

My editor is quite responsible, and found that my first chapter did not click well, and suggested that I change the title of the book to attract readers.

So I thought hard about the name Fei for two days, and I only came up with such a mediocre but straightforward name.After changing it, it’s really better to collect and click than in the past………………

Just remember the title of the book you like in your heart.I will always miss "Light Hunting"!

tearful. (The cover comes with the system, I will ask someone to make a new one in the next two days)
