Chapter 2485 -2486: Planning to Sneak into the Vatican
“One glance at Hetu ruins a lifetime”—these words fit Evelyn best.
Over twenty years ago, Evelyn held a very high position in the Church. If not for that accident, she would have undoubtedly been the Holy Maiden of the Church, and there would be nothing about Michelle now.
At that time, the Devil Lord was in high spirits, sword pointing across the vast land, as he infiltrated the Church alone with a sword and killed the Saint Heir, meeting Evelyn!
It was precisely because of this that Evelyn was deeply attracted to the Devil Lord, his formidable strength, handsome face, wearing a blue robe, graceful and elegant, exactly the ideal of a dashing young man in the minds of countless women!
She was captivated by the Devil Lord’s power and attracted by his looks; she developed feelings for him and even helped him, which deprived her of the Holy Maiden’s position, and she was locked up, secluded in contemplation for five years!
When Evelyn emerged, everything had changed; the Devil Lord was already betrayed, leaving only some rumors behind, nothing more.
For this, Evelyn was heartbroken for a long time.
Now, the old matters resurfaced, leaving Evelyn utterly at a loss for what to do.
Fortunately, these three old men did not intend to say much or make things difficult for Evelyn, so they let her leave.
After leaving, Evelyn slowly exhaled a pent-up breath, and bitterness gradually crept up on her lips!
“Devil Lord, is this our destiny?” Evelyn said bitterly, “Once you killed the Saint Heir, now your son kills Nicolas!”
“I have intervened both times!”
With these words, Evelyn sighed bitterly, then slowly turned to leave.
However, at the moment of turning, Evelyn was filled with a sense of desolation, giving people a feeling of endless melancholy.
After leaving this place, Evelyn did not go elsewhere but went to find Michelle.
Now that Nicolas is dead, Michelle has taken power, and from now on, she will be Michelle’s personal assistant, her follower, so naturally, she went to find Michelle.
Michelle was sitting by the window of her room, staring outside in a daze, not knowing what was on her mind.
“Knock knock knock…”
Upon hearing the knocking, Michelle returned from her contemplation and turned her gaze toward the door: “Come in!”
“Creak!”
The door opened with a sound, and Evelyn’s figure slowly came into Michelle’s view.
Upon seeing Evelyn, Michelle immediately said, “Aunt Evelyn…”
“Are you okay?” Evelyn gently asked, looking at Michelle with eyes full of tenderness, as if looking at her own child, filled with maternal radiance.
Michelle gently shook her head and said, “I’m fine, why are you here?”
“I came to see you!” Evelyn said softly, “Are you thinking about the Marshal?”
“No!” Michelle immediately denied, “I was just wondering why Uncle Nicolas did what he did, he clearly knew that it wasn’t the Marshal’s doing, but why did he still act like this!”
“And I had told him before to become the Pope, but he…”
Michelle did not continue speaking, but her face grew dim and carried a trace of sadness and confusion.
She couldn’t understand, couldn’t truly comprehend why Nicolas would act this way.
Evelyn looking at Michelle’s dim face sighed softly and said, “Child, you are still too young to truly understand the treachery of human nature!”
“But Uncle Nicolas used to be really good to me, very good!”
“I know!” Evelyn said softly, “But everyone has their own selfish desires; your uncle is dead, the position of Pope is vacant, and as the Holy Maiden, your decisions are crucial!”
“Even your every move will influence the next Pope, and the factions from before will inevitably stand by your side!”
“I said I let Uncle Nicolas become Pope?”
“You said it, but whether he believes it or not, how could you possibly know?” Evelyn said neither lightly nor heavily: “The human heart is something very hard to predict, and often it is dark, not as beautiful as you imagine!”
“Even when we bask in the radiance of the Lord, there can be some intrusive thoughts and obsessions within us!”
Michelle sighed softly, filled with bitterness, and said, “Aunt Evelyn, will the Church spare the Marshal?”
“I don’t know!” Evelyn gently shook her head, somewhat forlorn, “Interests are eternal, as long as he can deliver enough interests to the Church, it’s fine!”
“But where are the everlasting interests?”
“Then hopefully, he is as strong as his father was, letting everyone fear him, so your worries won’t come true!”
“Oh!”
“Holy Maiden, you’ve fallen in love, haven’t you?”
“Aunt Evelyn, I…”
“Don’t reveal it before others, otherwise you’ll be put on the cross!” Evelyn directly interrupted Michelle and reminded: “People must learn to hide themselves perfectly, never give anyone a chance in the face of insufficient strength!”
Michelle looked at Evelyn surprised, having no idea why Evelyn was saying this to her.
Although puzzled, Michelle did not ask any questions.
Because she understood Evelyn, knowing that if Evelyn didn’t want to speak about something, asking would not get any useful answer.
“Aunt Evelyn, you didn’t use Angel’s descent, was it because you didn’t want to hurt the Marshal?”
“Yes!”
“Why?”
“You’ll understand someday!” Evelyn did not directly answer Michelle, deliberately teasing.
Saying this, Evelyn’s gaze turned towards the distant view, her gaze slowly turning deep and mysterious.
……
Ye Xunhuan, after leading Victoria out of the Church, did not leave but casually found a place to stay.
To make him Ye Xunhuan leave like this, it’s impossible, he must find out why Nicolas acted this way, and also Gabriel, why so.
Of course, it’s not just out of curiosity for Ye Xunhuan; he suspected someone was stirring up Nicolas, Ye Xunhuan must find out who is behind this.
Otherwise, Ye Xunhuan would not be at peace.
Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan still had not had a proper conversation with Michelle, so he had to find an opportunity to sneak into the Church to find Michelle and also inquire about something from Gabriel.
Victoria instantly saw through Ye Xunhuan’s thoughts, and couldn’t help but say, “You’re planning to sneak back into the Church, aren’t you?”
Ye Xunhuan chuckled: “You really understand me!”
“The Church is very dangerous, if those three old farts discover you…”
“I’ll be careful to avoid them!” Ye Xunhuan said softly, “Even if I can’t, I believe they may not be able to capture me!”
