Chapter 66: Chapter 57: Augustus, the Mastermind Behind the Scenes? (5000-word Mega Chapter, Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

Actually, Qin Chu had never really touched Miss Angelica...

As for Angelica, her face instantly flushed with red clouds. Her originally sharp gaze softened, filled with tenderness, and she was directly defeated in the eye contact battle with Rose Vesper.

However, the victorious Rose Vesper felt not even a hint of joy in her victory. She always felt like she was the one who had lost, and that she had lost terribly.

That bastard Qin Chu, who always claimed he was very charming and that he liked her a lot, said it was only because he was too timid and unworthy of her that he didn’t dare to speak to her. Then he turned around and devoured Angelica completely...

Heh... men...

Apart from Lord Jie Luo, are all men of this sort?

Qin Chu’s lips held a smile, but he was actually pondering another question.

Catherine must have woken up by now, right?

It’s a pity he couldn’t witness Catherine’s moment of destruction firsthand; that definitely would have been a delight.

The reason he chose to come to the Holy Court to find Augustus today was partly to release the prohibition on Angelica’s neck.

On the other hand, it was to avoid disaster!

Qin Chu knew Catherine’s character very well. Once Catherine woke up and saw herself lying on the ground completely naked with red spots on the sheets, anyone who wasn’t an idiot would know exactly what had happened.

Although the Magic Potion Love would make Catherine have feelings for Qin Chu, such a strong stimulus would definitely suppress any feelings that had arisen. That woman’s fiery temper would surely explode, perhaps even blasting the palace to bits, and then she’d grab the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword and come after him.

She definitely wouldn’t listen to any of his explanations and would probably strike at him with her sword straightaway.

Even though his power was constantly climbing, and if he burst forth with all his Strength, he definitely wouldn’t be weak, revealing his hidden power was something Qin Chu didn’t want to expose if possible—it was his trump card.

Secondly, even if he went all out, he wasn’t a match for Catherine.

Therefore, Qin Chu needed someone who could suppress Catherine. The very hospitable Augustus was a good tool... Ah no, a good candidate.

Augustus surely wouldn’t just stand by and watch a Hero get killed inside the Church Court, right?

Qin Chu didn’t know why Augustus was so enthusiastic about him, but it boiled down to wanting to use him, and Qin Chu didn’t mind using Augustus in return.

If he hadn’t planned everything in advance, Qin Chu definitely wouldn’t have laid a finger on Catherine.

Augustus, unaware of Qin Chu’s thoughts, pondered for a moment before saying:

"Mr. Brave, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, but the matter with Miss Angelica was convicted after a trial by the Heresy Court. There has never been a precedent for overturning the decisions of the Heresy Court. To lift the prohibition on Miss Angelica, we must go through a retrial by the court, and this is not easy..."

Although Augustus was the Pope, he was not the sole authority on affairs within the Holy Court.

Certain individuals shared power with Augustus.

The head of the Heresy Court is the number two in practical authority within the Holy Court, Cardinal Douglas, a man of formidable power, ruthless and decisive, who was also once Augustus’s strongest competitor for the position of Pope.

Even if Augustus spoke up, Douglas would most likely refuse.

It wasn’t that Augustus didn’t want to help, but the issue was too significant.

"Without a proper reason, it would be difficult for me to help Miss Angelica remove the seal."

Old fox!

Both being old monsters of a thousand years, Qin Chu naturally understood the subtext in Augustus’s words. He needed a reason to lift Angelica’s prohibition without going through the Heresy Court.

And the reason, of course, Qin Chu had already prepared.

"Yesterday afternoon, my most beloved Maid was kidnapped."

"The ones who kidnapped Angelica were two people wearing bright red nun robes, except for their color, their style was almost identical to those of the Holy Court..." Qin Chu deliberately changed the color of the nun robes from black to red in his story.

"That’s impossible..." Before Qin Chu could finish, Rose Vesper instinctively objected.

"Why is it impossible?" Qin Chu seemed somewhat perplexed.

Rose Vesper then realized she might have misspoken. Biting her lip slightly, she hurriedly came up with a reason: "Red is the color of the nuns from the Heresy Court, and they almost never leave the Court..."

Due to the briefness of time, Rose Vesper was ultimately too green and naive. She didn’t doubt the attack on Angelica, but she questioned the red nun robes.

Although Qin Chu already knew that Rose Vesper had orchestrated the incident, her words also exposed her completely.

"Holy Daughter, you can’t guarantee that each one of them will stay within the Court, can you?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow and counterargued.

Rose Vesper was momentarily speechless. She was very certain that this incident had nothing to do with the Heresy Court, since Maggie and Sana were Death Soldiers cultivated by her and Douglas privately.

But she had no way of telling Qin Chu the real reason.
