Chapter 177 The Bishop Visits
The Grand Duchess said: "There is indeed something about Fanny that would interest a mage."
Sure enough, La Di sat quietly opposite her, waiting for the other party to continue speaking.
"Half a year ago, she awakened to her potential in magic."
"Is that true? Did you guide her?"
"No!" Helen shook her head and denied, "I learned magic from my mentor at that time because of chance, coincidence and curiosity."
"But when I grew up and realized how difficult it was for mages in this society, although I didn't regret my original decision, I didn't want Fanny to take this path again. If I accidentally..."
"Is there anyone else?"
"It's not..."
When Her Royal Highness Helen said this, her face showed an expression of half pride and half worry.
"Fanny, she is self-aware."
"Self-awakening?"
Ladi was shocked! People who can self-awaken their magic potential are legendary among the mage community!
"Senior Helen, you...are you really like this?"
Helen replied with great certainty: "I am sure that Fanny has always been under my supervision. I know exactly who she has been in contact with."
"She didn't realize what it meant at the time, so I told her never to show this ability in front of anyone but me."
"Senior sister, it seems that her awakening has been known to some people. Children like Fanny don't know how to control their own abilities."
"Yes, I was still not careful enough."
There was regret in Helen's voice.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, we..."
Just as Ladi was about to give her suggestion, there was another knock on the door outside.
"What's going on? I'm meeting a visitor."
The voice of the waiter came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the Bishop of Niceburg, Mr. Elvis, is here to visit."
"bishop?"
Helen and Ladi frowned. Due to the witch-hunting movement in the south and their own identities, they had an instinctive dislike for clergy.
"Let him go back first, I'm busy now."
"Well...he handed me a box and said that if you don't want to see him, let me pass the box to you."
"Send it in!"
The door to the room opened, and the waiter came in and carefully placed a box on the table in front of the two of them, and then exited again.
Helen opened the box suspiciously.
"This...this is..."
The Grand Duchess suddenly fell into a sluggish state.
Ladi looked into the box and saw a necklace inside.
"Senior, is there anything special about this necklace?"
Helen picked up the necklace and looked at it over and over again.
"This is Fanny's necklace! Yes! That's right! It's this necklace, a gift I gave to her myself."
Finally having a clue, the face of the Grand Duchess showed a mixture of sadness and joy.
"Why is Fanny's necklace in the hands of the local bishop?"
Helen calmed down all of a sudden. The power of the church, the witch-hunting movement, and the magical potential in Fanny suddenly made her think of the most terrifying situation.
"Senior, it's useless to think wildly. It's better to meet this Bishop Elvis."
"you're right."
…
Bishop Elvis of Nisborg followed the waiter to the drawing room of the embassy.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness Helen, the Grand Duchess, was already waiting for him inside, the bishop immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Your Highness! Thank you for taking the time to meet with me."
Helen waved her hand: "No need to say any unnecessary polite words. Mr. Bishop, please take a seat first."
After Elvis sat down, Helen held up the necklace and asked, "Mr. Bishop, can you explain what's going on?"
"Oh, Your Highness, I believe you have recognized this necklace."
The look on Elvis's face was a bit teasing.
"The thing is like this, the church raided the stronghold of a group of evil wizards not long ago, and we met unexpected people there."
"Fanny?"
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!
"Exactly, it's your sister who was kidnapped not long ago - Baroness Fanny. This necklace belongs to the Baroness."
Helen was greatly shocked, partly because she had finally received the news about her sister, and partly because her sister had fallen into the hands of the church.
She pretended to be calm and said in a slightly majestic voice: "Thank you for rescuing my sister, but why not just send her back?"
Bishop Elvis looked half-smiling.
"Your Highness Helen, in addition to this necklace, we also found some interesting things on the Baroness."
Helen felt bad, "What is it?"
"Magic, Your Highness, we found the magic of the wizard in the Baroness."
"absurd!"
The Grand Duchess scolded sternly.
"It's not ridiculous at all, Your Highness Helen. After all, the matter is very important. We asked all the witch hunting experts stationed in this city to come to confirm, but they came to a unanimous conclusion - Dame Fanny is a witch, or is a witch. On the road to witchhood.”
Helen stood up immediately, "She is just an eleven-year-old child."
Elvis immediately said: "She is an eleven-year-old child, but she is also an eleven-year-old witch. Just because she is young does not mean that she can ignore her sins."
"Sin? She would feel guilty for a long time even if she stepped on an ant to death! Even if magic power was found in her, it was because she was seduced by the evil witch. She didn't know what it meant at all!"
"Your sister did claim that she knew nothing, but Your Highness, you know that witches are always good at deceiving and bewitching people."
Helen stared at Elvis coldly: "I will let the Grand Duke protest to the Archbishop of Horn Bay!"
The Bishop smiled, with no worry on his face, "You don't have to use the Archbishop to pressure me. In terms of attitude towards witches, the Archbishop will definitely stand on the same side as me."
Helen was anxious. She wanted to immediately call someone to arrest the arrogant and rude guy in front of her, and then mobilize people to search for people in the Nice Cathedral.
But she calmed down. After her sister fell into the hands of the church, although they did not send her back, they did not publicize it.
Thinking carefully, Fanny is a nobleman of high status after all, the sister-in-law of the Grand Duke of Eaton. No matter how arrogant the church is, it dare not make a decision on its own, which will arouse the anger of the entire Horn Bay nobles.
Helen calmed her heartbeat and regained her composure.
"How will the bishop deal with my sister?"
"Dispose? Your Highness is too kind."
"Don't you treat so-called 'wizards' by burning them at the stake?"
Elvis shook his head again and again: "That's how you treat ordinary civilian wizards. For noble people like Lady Fanny, she just went astray. There have been such examples before. We usually let their families discipline them strictly, reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors, and get back on the right track."
"After all, you nobles are always privileged!"
This sentence was full of irony.
