He is the Holy Son of the Holy See, but a master of black magic.

The cathedral, located in the center of York Harbor, is divided into two areas.

One area is open to the general public.

The other area is only accessible to extraordinary people.

After becoming a nun, Lily's "work" place was here.

The work content is not complicated - praying, doing homework, going out with senior nuns to help believers, preaching, organizing gatherings and other activities.

And, most importantly, cleaning.

Of course, it's not that the church doesn't have money to hire helpers, but because cleaning is also a part of their spiritual practice.

Generally speaking, after a period of time, if her performance is qualified, Lily will be transferred to churches in other cities instead of always staying in this regional headquarters.

but……

Squeezing her fist inside the sleeve of the nun's robe, the girl had a premonition.

That is, it may be difficult for you to follow this normal process again.

"Excuse me, where is Bishop Norman?"

When she came to the vast and bright main church, she asked the parishioners passing by.

"In the confessional."

The other party replied, looked at her coldly, then turned and left.

Lily then walked in the direction of the confessional.

Along the way, many people saw her, but almost no one greeted her, including friends who came with her for reference before participating in the assessment.

After learning about her identity as a rebel, Lily began to alienate her former friends because she was afraid that one day she would implicate them.

It's just that her behavior was mistaken for being arrogant and arrogant after getting second place in the assessment, and she was unwilling to pay attention to her former friends.

So gradually, others no longer wanted to pay attention to her.

This fits the girl's thoughts, but although she can always look at it rationally, she still feels sad sometimes.

"But it's all worth it."

When she came to the confession room, she thought to herself, holding the letter in her hands and looking at the partition in front of her, but she hesitated.

The confessional here is narrow and divided into two parts. One part is for believers who come in to describe their sins and express repentance.

The other part is for the bishop or priest to listen and respond. There is a wooden pattern grid in the middle, making it difficult for each other to see each other clearly.

At this time, sitting across from the grid was the gray-haired Norman Bishop.

He is also the recipient of the letter in his hand.

This was the reason for the girl's hesitation.

This man had succumbed to the housekeeper's power and expelled Andy.

Now, Andy asked herself to come to him again...

Can he really be trusted?

"No words spoken here will reach the ears of a third person."

Apparently aware of the girl's hesitation, a low but kind voice came from the other side.

"Child, what do you want to say?"

"What do you think of Andy?"

At this point, there was no point in hesitating, so Lily finally spoke, "Do you think you did the right thing back then?"

The person on the other side was startled when he heard this.

Apparently she didn't expect that she would mention this matter.

In fact, during this period, the matter never stopped.

And Norman, the bishop, seemed to be in a whirlpool of opinions, being constantly discussed and criticized in the dark.

In a sense, the people who were watching that assessment, like him, all succumbed to the steward, or succumbed to the intimidation of power, and then made the unjust decision to ignore it.

But they obviously don't think it's their own fault.

If it's not my fault, then whose fault is it?

Of course it was Norman, the bishop who was the first to surrender.

If he hadn't surrendered and withstood the pressure, how could Andy have ended up in that embarrassing situation?

If he hadn't surrendered and failed to withstand the pressure, why would they, the audience, have made such an embarrassing choice that hurt their self-esteem?

Some people even thought that if the bishop could argue with reason, maybe Andy, a rising star, would not be in that situation.

Their initial praise and support will give them good feedback...

All in all, people did not dare to vent their grievances to the steward, but they were not so polite to Norman, the bishop.

He is like a venting bucket, giving others room to vent their anger.

So one can imagine what happened to the old bishop during this period.

Overtly or secretly, some people would ridicule him.

The fact that he had given gifts to the housekeeper to become a leader was even ridiculed by others, who laughed at him for being "unworthy of his virtue".

If Father Matthew had taken over, nothing like this would have happened.

Some people even said this.

The external public opinion is already like this, and it is naturally even more serious in the church where the incident took place.

Considering that Norman is the bishop and everyone's boss, everyone dare not say anything openly.

But the old bishop himself could not hope to have any more prestige.

With the support of the butler behind him, his position as bishop is very secure. No matter what others say, they can't even think of hurting his interests at all.

but……

"I repent every day and repent of my sins."

The old man's deep voice sounded, and he responded to the girl's question, "I also pray all day long, hoping that the child will live well."

"What about actual action?"

Lily asked again, "If you had the opportunity to atone for your choice with actions instead of verbal confession, would you still be willing to do it?"

These words made the old bishop's eyelids jump, and he immediately understood what was going on.

After Andy left the church, he was hunted by the hyenas in the secular world, and finally escaped suddenly in a desperate situation. It is no secret now.

Of course he heard about it.

Therefore, the Norman bishop knew very well that there was a group of people secretly working against the housekeeper and even the royal family in the country.

Who are these people?

He didn't know that the housekeeper was conducting an extensive investigation, making a lot of noise, but not getting any useful clues.

Except for one police chief.

But the director was obviously an outcast, and the information revealed during the torture was either wrong or invalid.

The investigation came to a standstill.

This matter is somewhat embarrassing, so the steward has issued a large reward and is collecting evidence.

Many people were interested, and many came to provide clues, but no key point emerged.

The Norman bishop remained on the sidelines.

Unexpectedly, this key clue would be right under his nose...

Staring at the hazy girl's face on the other side of the partition, Bishop Norman had mixed emotions.

He couldn't understand why this girl from the Kozia family ignored her promising future and instead defected to the rebel camp like a gutter rat?

Isn't it possible that the Kozia family to which she belongs is also not simple?

"Get out of here, kid, and I'll forget what you just said."

There was a turmoil in his heart, but on the surface, Bishop Norman's attitude became cold.

However, after hearing this, Lily breathed a sigh of relief.

"Andy said that even if you don't choose to help us, you won't go to the housekeeper to report us. It seems that he was right."

"Andy?"

The old bishop's expression changed when he heard this, and the coldness that had just appeared on his face disappeared. He couldn't help but ask: "How is the child doing now?"

To be honest, he admires Andy very much. He is smart, calm and talented. If he can grow up smoothly, he will definitely become the backbone of the evangelical church.

It's a pity that Andy's fate is really miserable. It's not good to be in any place, but he ended up here.

From the moment he showed up, the result of being suppressed was already doomed.

The old bishop tried his best to stop it, but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and stand on the opposite side of Andy.

But just like he said before, these days, he has really been praying for the boy sincerely.

I hope he has broken free and gone to another peaceful place, which will surely allow him to swim freely like a fish in the sea.

"He's still hiding. The housekeeper is strictly checking him and doesn't dare to let him leave the country."

Lily replied, "He has become a semi-supernormal, and his life is not in danger for the time being."

"God bless."

The old bishop was secretly relieved when he heard this, and then he was no longer willing to talk to the little rebel in front of him.

So he waved his hand, "Go ahead, go ahead, don't come to me again, I'm just an old waste, I can't help you with anything."

"I didn't come to you to ask for help."

The girl refused to give up, "I'm here to help you."

"help me?"

The bishop burst into laughter when he heard this, "How can I need help? It's true that these days have not been easy, but at this age, do I still care about that?"

"You may not care what others say."

The girl said: "But don't you care about being ignored?"

"As a bishop of a place, you should have a high position of authority, but what happened? Your authority has been completely reduced by a few words from the butler."

"The people in the church are still obeying your orders, but are they listening to you or the steward behind you?"

"They don't respect you at all, and they don't really treat you as a bishop, as their leader and as an elder in the church."

"In their eyes, you are just a puppet, a puppet controlled by the butler!"

"There's nothing wrong with being a puppet."

The bishop said, "At least my benefits are very high. No matter how much those people look down on me, they can't compare to me in this regard."

"But when you competed for the bishop's position, was it really just for the benefits?"

The girl was not discouraged, "With high welfare benefits, can it win the respect of others? Can it buy everything in your diocese running smoothly? Can it buy the weak people no longer being bullied?"

"You may not care about these, but you must care about your family. After Andy's incident, what do your family think of you?"

"It is said that you have a granddaughter. She used to respect you very much."

"What now?"

Now?

When the old bishop heard this, he felt helpless.

The children are fine, they understand this matter very well, and are very angry about the bad comments outside.

But granddaughter.

His little granddaughter is not very old and does not agree with adult compromise.

She could only see that her grandfather had a bad reputation because he did a disgusting thing that was not in line with his status.

Although this did not affect the relationship between the grandfather and grandson, the granddaughter also claimed to understand.

But the strange things that occasionally appeared in her eyes, and even her sensible attitude of deliberately avoiding certain topics, still pierced Bishop Norman's heart like thorns, making him feel even more bitter.

Yes, he doesn't care much about the opinions of outsiders, but he does care about his family and what the younger generations he has taught for many years think of him!

Care very much!

It wasn't my fault, I was the only one out of everyone present who stood up to help Andy.

But why did I end up like this?

He could understand the problem, but he didn't want to accept it.

However, if you don’t want to go back and don’t want to go back, you still have to accept it when you should accept it.

As I get older, I have endured similar grievances.

In the end, other than becoming an injustice that can be remembered from time to time in my mind, and cursed in private, what else can I do?

…

Seeing that the old bishop remained silent and his expression didn't show much relief, the girl on the other side of the confessional couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Andy said yesterday morning that after finding the target, there is no need to say anything else, just hand over the letter.

She didn't believe that this could make Bishop Norman make an immediate decision, so she used what she had thought about for a long time last night to stimulate the old man in front of her.

It turned out that this person was actually so ignorant. No matter what she said, her attitude never wavered!

"Andy said that you are one of the few people here who has a rebellious mind and can take action."

Lily decided not to say anything more, lest it backfire.

"This letter was written by Andy. The content inside is very important. I hope you can take a look. If you don't agree, please don't report us afterwards."

After that, she ignored the other party's reaction and turned around and left the confession room.

He seems to trust Bishop Norman, but of course this is just an act.

She was skeptical of Bishop Norman's character.

But Andy seemed to trust him very much, and also said that as long as you give the letter to the old bishop, he will definitely be more active than you.

But no matter how you look at the other party's attitude just now, you don't see it as being very positive?

Like a turtle, it shrinks its neck when touched...

If not, find someone else.

She thought instead.

The Norman bishop is the best recipient, but not the only optional recipient.

In the wooden house on the beach, Andy listed several candidates.

But those people were all strangers and had never even spoken to Andy. Lily doubted whether they could do it.

Therefore, she still hoped that the relatively familiar Bishop Norman could change his attitude and change his position after reading the letter.

But will this really happen?

Will Andy's method be effective?

She wasn't sure.

Even though she had already taken action, doing something big for the first time still made her, a rookie, feel uneasy.

However, it didn't worry her for long.

The answer came quietly an hour later.

"The fifth utility room from the left in the east area of ​​the church, I'll wait for you there."

After a mass, the old bishop was the first to leave. When he passed by her, he quietly said something!

The anxious girl suddenly understood what was going on and was very surprised.

But on the surface she remained calm.

After leaving with the crowd and other church members, she pretended to be passing by, arrived at her destination and rushed in.

Then, the girl saw Bishop Norman staring at her closely, with a serious expression, but he seemed a little excited.

"How did he know?"

"What?" Lily was a little confused when asked.

"those people!"

The old bishop couldn't wait to ask, "How did he know the names of those people!?"
