I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 28 I will protect her

Holy Wing Cathedral.

"Thank you for your generous donation. The Supreme Light will bless you." The nun saluted the "couple" in front of her.

Zhenna also bowed back, and Li Yuan stood not far away from a distance, facing other directions, pretending to look at the interior decoration of the church.

In fact, he just didn't want to see that gold coin being sent to the collection altar.

"I have a kind request. I want to see Bishop Marcel here. Is it convenient for him now?" Zhenna explained the real purpose of coming.

The nun looked at the two of them: "You two, do you want to invite Bishop Marcel to preside over the wedding?"

A man and a woman believers came to the church to see the bishop, basically to seek the host of the wedding.

Zhenna showed an embarrassed expression, thanks to the veil covering her, she would not show any clues.

"Ah, um." She replied vaguely.

"Those two wait here for a while, I will report." The nun left after speaking.

After a while, the nun came back and took the two of them to the parlor inside the church, where Bishop Marcel was already waiting inside.

"Welcome both of you." Marcel showed a gentle smile that should be received when receiving guests.

When he saw the masked Zhenna, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. This masked dancer made him feel very familiar.

He soon knew the reason. The moment the nun closed the door and left, the dancer took off the veil from her face.

"Teacher, it's me." Zhenna directly revealed her identity to the other party.

Bishop Marcel's eyes widened immediately, and then his expression immediately became serious.

He quickly turned around and glanced at the window, then closed the curtains, and quickly walked over to lock the door, then turned around and saluted Zhenna: "Your Highness!"

"Long time no see, teacher." Zhenna greeted.

When he raised his face, Bishop Marcel showed a relieved expression, "I heard the news that you lost contact at the border! It's great that you are safe and sound!"

"I made you worry." Zhenna replied.

"So what happened?" Bishop Marcel asked seriously.

"I was assassinated. Heinrich and the other knights betrayed me, and it was the imperial sister who instigated it. Fortunately, this gentleman rescued me, and thanks to him for sending me back, otherwise I would have died long ago." Zhenna briefly explained the situation.

"It's really Her Majesty Frederick?" Bishop Marcel obviously had guessed a long time ago, with a sullen expression on his face, "She actually did such a crazy thing!? Does she no longer see His Majesty?"

Then he looked at Li Yuan carefully. When he first met him, he felt an extraordinary aura from this man dressed as a troubadour.

Now Zhenna mentioned that he saved the princess' life from the knights. There is no doubt that this person is a very powerful person. You must know that the team that accompanied the princess to the fortress has the strength to slay dragons.

"Sir, thank you very much for saving Your Highness Zhenna." He solemnly thanked Li Yuan.

"You're welcome." Li Yuan responded flatly.

"Your Highness, Her Highness Frede has gone astray. She took advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to act mischievously, and now she even wants to mutilate her own siblings. We must stop her!" Bishop Marcel started pacing back and forth in the room, thinking seriously, "You can hide with me for a while, and I will write to the Archbishop and ask him to contact the Pope. When the time is right, we will accuse His Highness Frede together!"

"I..." Zhenna showed a troubled look.

"Zhenna doesn't want to get involved in your political struggle anymore." Li Yuan interjected coldly, "The people responsible for the assassination are all dead, and there are no witnesses left. Zhenna originally wanted that guy named Heinrich to be a witness to accuse, but he didn't dare, so we had to execute him. If you can bring down Princess Frede, that witness wouldn't be so scared that he would rather die."

Bishop Marcel showed an extremely embarrassing look on his face. Li Yuan's words were completely ruthless, but they hit the nail on the head.

Most of their accusations are harmless to Princess Frederick.

Not to mention that they don't have any evidence now, even if they have evidence to prove that Zhenna was assassinated, Princess Frede can pull out a scapegoat to execute no matter how bad she is.

"Father, how is the situation now?" Zhen Na asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Bishop Marcel hesitated for a while, and finally chose to tell the truth, "Your Majesty, it is already inconvenient for him to meet guests, and we don't know the specific situation."

It's not very clear, but just from the point of "inconvenient to see guests", it is enough to understand that His Majesty the Emperor is now seriously ill and unable to handle affairs.

So he only said to contact the Archbishop just now, but he didn't mention to see His Majesty the Emperor.

This is the most critical point. His Majesty, the only emperor who can restrain Fred, has completely fallen ill, and the power is almost completely in Fred's hands. This is the biggest reason why Fred suddenly became unscrupulous.

Fred's succession as empress is almost a certainty, and now the army and the court are almost all Fred's people, only the church and a few nobles are still supporting Zhenna.

And rather than saying that they support Zhenna, it is better to say that they are simply opposing Frede's reform measures.

Hearing her father's situation, Zhenna lowered her eyes sadly.

"You can hide with us for a while, and we will find a way when His Majesty gets better." Bishop Marcel began to persuade again.

"No." Zhen Na shook her head, "Maybe the Queen has set up eyes and ears in the church, if I stay here, you will get into trouble too."

She didn't say the most important point, that is, she didn't dare to fully trust Bishop Marcel.

After being betrayed by Heinrich, she no longer dared to trust her other supporters easily.

Li Yuan also spoke: "Not to mention whether the emperor will get better or not, right now, you have no way to guarantee Zhenna's safety. Zhenna will die if she stays in this country. You might as well let her go and stop using her as a political bargaining chip."

"Sir, you are too rude to say that." Bishop Marcel frowned.

"I'm not wrong. You are capable of keeping her words. How could Princess Frede come up with such an exaggerated assassination plan? Later, you will tear yourself apart with her and put the matter on the table, so she won't dare to act rashly? The person she wants to kill is not you, of course you are not nervous." Li Yuan did not hide his sarcasm at all.

Originally, he didn't intend to talk much, but Bishop Marcel tried to persuade Zhenna to take political measures to protect herself, so he had to stop it.

Not only will he lose Zhenna's combat power, but the Sun Temple on the fifth floor of the Infinity Tower will also stop functioning because of the loss of priests. At that time, he will only be able to face the next round of dragon slaying teams alone.

And what he said was also true. Zhenna's existing supporters did not have enough political energy to protect Zhenna. Unless the emperor's condition improved, Zhenna would be a fish on the chopping board in front of Fred.

On the issue of Zhenna's fate, his thoughts and positions were opposed to Bishop Marcel's, and the red dragon's arrogant nature gradually became infected. At this moment, he became merciless in his words.

Bishop Marcel took a deep breath and tried his best to reply in a calm tone: "I have been favored by Your Majesty for a long time, and His Majesty entrusted me to take care of Her Highness Zhenna. I dare not tell others, but I dare to swear to the Holy Light. My concern for Her Highness Zhenna is absolutely true!"

"Then you should understand whether her staying here makes her safer or more dangerous." Li Yuan said.

"Then what should I do according to your wishes, sir?" Marcel stared closely at Li Yuan's eyes.

Speaking of this, Li Yuan naturally couldn't back down: "I will find a way to protect her."

Hearing this, Zhen Na couldn't help but glance at Li Yuan.

"you?"

Marcel looked back and forth between Princess Zhenna and the young man in surprise, and began to guess the relationship between the two in his heart.
