Chapter 268, Prince Lucius's Secret
"That's just the way it is." Kong Xiyan crossed her arms over her chest. "No matter what, whether it's the Vatican or the royal family, there's no such thing as peaceful coexistence anymore."
"That's right." Luo Zhenxuan also nodded, and then asked with some confusion: "But I can't understand why Bishop Gewat insisted on doing so when he couldn't have been unaware of his father's mistakes?"
If the royal family had taken the initiative to seek peace just for the sake of the status of the Xingertang Church, all this should have come to an end.
Isn’t it good to maintain the status quo?
Why would he take the risk of replacing the eldest princess of the Xing Ertang royal family?
Especially since Princess Xing Erling has such an important identity as the incarnation of the Star God.
Bishop Gwat should not do this!
"Bishop Gwat has a younger sister." The Imperial Master's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was reluctant to mention this person. "She... passed away."
"Dead?" Kong Xiyan asked, "Could it be related to the royal family?"
"It should... be irrelevant." The national teacher hesitated.
"Your answer is quite subtle." Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly. "It's strange that the Holy See has always been against Prince Leon marrying a princess. Could it be that the original princess was Gwart's sister?"
"It's not confirmed yet, but the two of them are indeed childhood sweethearts and grew up together." The Imperial Master sighed: "Leon only treats her as a sister, but the Vatican doesn't seem to think so."
"Times are advancing, technology is developing, and under the impact of high-intensity technology, people's reverence for religion is declining." Kong Xiyan tapped the table with her fingertips. "It's understandable that the Vatican wants to use this marriage to strengthen its ties with the royal family."
Under the premise of rapid development of science and technology, the authority of religion will definitely be impacted.
The Vatican made the right move by marrying into the royal family and using royal power to consolidate itself - provided that the royal family is willing to cooperate.
However, Prince Leon fell in love with a Chinese tourist at first sight and insisted on marrying her.
The Holy See was also anxious, and if it took a wrong step, all would go wrong.
Instead, he pushed himself into a desperate situation.
The greedier a person is, the more stupid he is.
This sentence is extremely accurate when used to describe the Xing Ertang Church.
It's a pity for those innocent believers who lost their lives.
"There must be something about Prince Lucius involved here, right?" Moya had a strong opinion of Prince Lucius: "That annoying Prince Lucius shamelessly proposed to my mother after learning that she was a saint. Humph! A toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
"Prince Lucius and Gwart's sister should be childhood sweethearts, right?" Kong Xiyan looked at the imperial teacher.
"That's right, but it's not a love triangle. Prince Lucius's personality... isn't very cheerful. He's rather... peculiar." The Imperial Master's expression was complicated. "In short, Prince Lucius and Vivian are childhood sweethearts, but they are just friends and confidants."
"Vivian?" Kong Xiyan seemed to recall something when she heard the name and said, "I remember Vivian died... by suicide?"
The information she received recorded that after Zhong Yangyang was replaced, a woman named Vivian died by suicide.
Because the time was close and Vivian had come into contact with the princess before, Kong Xiyan paid more attention to it.
"Suicide?" Mo Ya looked at Kong Xiyan in surprise: "No way, why do I remember it was an accident?"
"No, it was indeed suicide." The Imperial Master gave Kong Xiyan a meaningful look. "It's just that the Vatican and the royal family claimed it was an accident."
Kong Xiyan felt that there was a hint of conspiracy in these words. She wanted to ask more details, but she saw that the National Master had shifted his gaze and leaned to the other side.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, it seemed like he didn't want to continue talking.
I guess she wouldn't be able to get anything out of it even if she wanted to ask.
After all, there are many things involved, perhaps even royal secrets. It is rare for the national teacher to tell her so much.
However, Mo Ya's gossipy spirit was burning, and she seemed to want to ask something more. But after being hit on the head, she became quiet.
Moya didn't ask any more questions, and no matter how curious Stella was, she could only swallow her hundreds of thousands of questions.
After all, she had already known so many secrets today. If she asked any more questions, she was afraid her little heart would be overwhelmed...
Just then, Kong Xiyan's cell phone rang.
After glancing at the caller ID, Kong Xiyan gave a wry smile and answered the call: "Hello? Yangyang~"
"When are you coming back?" Zhong Yangyang covered her head with the quilt and roared as quietly as possible from inside: "Can you please stop cheating me? You left me here all alone. Do you have any humanity?"
"Good Yangyang, don't be angry. I'll pick you up after I'm done here, dear." Kong Xiyan tried her best to comfort Zhong Yangyang: "How is it? Is everything going well over there? Has anyone been to the ward?"
"Yes." Zhong Yangyang sighed, "Prince Lucius was here."
"Prince Lucius?" Kong Xiyan frowned when she heard this: "What is he doing in the ward? Are you okay? Did he find anything?"
When they heard Kong Xiyan mention Prince Lucius, everyone immediately looked at her.
"Ah...how do I put this?" Zhong Yangyang's expression was very complicated: "I was eating an apple when Prince Lucius came. I only had time to throw the apple away and didn't have time to lie back down in bed. When he saw me, I was just sitting there leaning against the bed.
I was so scared at the time that my mind went blank and I just stared at him.
When he saw me, he was also stunned, and then he said to me..."
"What did he say to you?" Kong Xiyan frowned.
"Since you're not dead, get out of the hospital quickly and don't waste medical resources! And don't act mysterious and upset Princess Winnie. If you're smart, cancel the engagement immediately to avoid further involvement. You deserve to die." Zhong Yangyang repeated Prince Lucius's words and paused for a few seconds. "Sister, Prince Lucius seems to be face-blind. At least he definitely won't recognize the two of us."
"Face blindness?" Kong Xiyan was stunned for a moment. Speaking of which, it seems that many foreigners do think that Chinese people look similar, but Prince Lucius shouldn't...
Last time, she got close to Prince Lucius and flirted with him at his ball. After several teasings, Prince Lucius must have been impressed by her.
It’s not like he didn’t notice anything at all!
Kong Xiyan asked uncertainly again, "Is Prince Lucius so face-blind that he can't recognize the two of us?"
Hearing this, Mo Ya subconsciously looked up at Winnie.
She remembered that Winnie had told her that she couldn't recognize Chinese people and thought they all looked the same...
"Yes," Zhong Yangyang replied with certainty. "After saying this, he angrily slammed the door and left. I don't know what he was angry about... But his words were so harsh and aggressive. It was really scary!"
"Thank you for your hard work. I will finish the things here as soon as possible. Just be good." Kong Xiyan knew that Zhong Yangyang was not very brave and must be scared, so she called her at this time. She coaxed Zhong Yangyang for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Holding the phone, Zhong Yangyang huddled in the quilt with his brows lowered.
Sister, how long will it take for you to come...
At this moment, the quilt on her head was suddenly pulled back. Zhong Yangyang was startled and subconsciously curled up and hugged her head.
At this moment, a cold male voice came from above her head, with anger: "Why is it you? Where is my sister?!"
