Chapter 145: Conspiracy, Return, and Jealousy
Ansu’s face was grim as he pondered the intelligence David had just reported.
The timing of Freya’s identity being exposed was far too coincidental; even a ghost wouldn't believe there wasn't a conspiracy behind it...
He suddenly remembered that time he had attended a lecture with Freya, when she had excitedly told him that the archbishops had lifted her restrictions and allowed her to move freely.
Ansu had felt something was fishy even then, because the suggestion had come from Archbishop Leonard. For that reason, he had specifically warned Freya never to reveal her demihuman identity to outsiders, suspecting that the old schemer might be planning another sting operation.
Now, it seemed his words had become a self-fulfilling prophecy...
Anyone close to Freya was bound to suffer, especially her guardian, Archbishop Paul.
The conservative faction, who disliked Archbishop Paul, would certainly use this to attack him. If he were absent from the Pope’s election at this time, the situation would be extremely favorable for Archbishop Leonard...
However, what confused Ansu was how Vera had been dragged into this. That girl had spoken highly of Freya, but their relationship hadn't been that close before...
Had they become much closer during the days he was away?
