At the same time, one hundred soldiers of the Knights of St. John have been killed by skeleton soldiers, and none of them can escape from the citizens’ assembly hall!
Ling Feiyang, Natalia and Frederick II all ran to the outskirts of Rome before they stopped. Frederick II sat on a stone in grief and remained silent.
"King positions call it up! The fate of that holy Roman empire wait for you to save it! " Princess Natalya walked up to Frederick II and stretched out her hand to pull him up.
"Although I have suffered such a heavy blow, I am the king of western Rome after all. How can I lose to this princess of eastern Rome?" Frederick II tried to calm himself down here and said, "Now, if we want to turn things around, maybe there is another way to find Archbishop Grioni!"
"Archbishop Grignon? Is he a friend of the king? " Princess Natalya immediately asked
"No!" Frederick II said, "Although I haven’t had any dealings with this man, I have heard from Uncle Andrew that this man is the most upright among the twelve cardinal archbishops of the Vatican. Now we have no other choice but to look for this man."
After Princess Natalia translated Frederick II’s words, Ling Feiyang also expressed his support. On that night, Ling Feiyang and others all changed into Roman civilian clothes and quietly came to a forest villa in the west of Rome.
Frederick II gently pulled the bronze handle at the door of the villa and hung it through the wire rope, and the bell rang. After about five minutes, the door of the villa slowly opened and a kind-looking old man came out in a robe. It was Archbishop Grioni.
"King!" Grignon froze at the sight of Frederick II and bent down to salute.
Frederick II quickly lifted him up, and Grignon ordered the footman to light the oil lamp in the villa and immediately took the three men to the spacious living room.
"Archbishop, something has happened in the Vatican!" As soon as Frederick sat down, he told Archbishop Grioni what had happened during the day.
"How can this happen!" Archbishop Grignon couldn’t help getting up from his chair and staggering up and down the hall after hearing Frederick II’s account.
"Archbishop, we need your help now!" Frederick II said very urgently
"If it’s true as you say, then I really should help you …" Grioni thought for a long time and suddenly turned the conversation and continued, "But you said that the Holy Father was possessed by the devil Satan and summoned many skeleton soldiers. It’s so incredible that I can’t believe it!"
"In the name of our king, I swear that all these words are true!" Frederick II noticed that Grignon was not quite sure that he was more anxious.
"Of course, I can’t doubt the king’s position, but I can’t be suspicious of the Holy Father …" Grioni seemed very contradictory in his heart and suddenly said, "You must be very tired now. I’ll arrange three rooms for you before I think about it …"
"He won’t leave us at his house and go to the Pope to tell on us, will he?" Natalia just thought of this, but Frederick II gave her a wink.
"Thank you, Mr. Archbishop!" Frederick II immediately said
Grignon asked the footman Ling Feiyang and other three people to prepare the room, but they did not rest immediately, but came to Frederick II’s room together.
"The archbishop doesn’t seem to believe us …" Princess Natalya said that she was obviously worried.
"Even if he doesn’t believe us, he will never betray us. Please rest assured that Inglioni is not the kind of snitch," said Frederick II
"But even if he doesn’t betray us, he will never help us. What’s the point of us staying here?" Princess Natalya said
"Although we are now cornered, I always believe that Jesus Christ will help us …" Frederick II said, closing his eyes slightly, holding his chest in his hands and bowing his head to pray. "Merciful Lord, please give me wisdom and strength to save these subjects who are about to fall into disaster, so that the holy Roman Empire will not be destroyed by war again and your faithful followers will have permanent peace. Amen."
Ling Feiyang and Princess Natalya, although not Catholics, closed their eyes and prayed with Frederick II, when a ringing doorbell entered the ears of three people.
"Mr. Grioni, I’m Hernandez, captain of the Sineitai of the Holy See. Please open the door quickly!" Outsiders to villa inside high call way
"It took less than a day for the Pope to find this place!" Frederick II immediately became nervous when he heard this sentence! to be continued
Chapter 45 Night Hunter
Ling Feiyang and Princess Natalia protected the holy Roman King Frederick II from the villa of Cardinal Grioni for a while, but the captain of the Sineitai of the Holy See, Hernandez, has also found it here!
"What’s the matter so late!" As the door creaked, Grioni’s old voice came in from the outside.
"Your eminence, I would like to ask whether King Frederick II came to your residence today?" Hernandez politely asked Grignon that there were four men in black robes behind Grignon, all of whom were thin, with long hair, shawls, cowhide and boots, each carrying an oak bow. It was Pope Gregory IX’s elite fighter, the night hunter!
"This man really came to see me. If the Pope knows that we are hiding here, Bishop Grioni will be punished. Let’s leave this villa quickly and never get involved with him!" Frederick II proved to be an English king and immediately said to Princess Natalya and Ling Feiyang
However, just as they were about to leave the house, they heard Grioni ask Hernandez, "If the Holy Father wants to find the king, why not search everywhere in the middle of the night through normal channels?"
"Although Mr Grioni is old, he is not confused at all …" Frederick II was thinking about Hernandez, but he went on to say, "It’s urgent. Please forgive me for my inconvenience!"
Grignon seems to have doubts about the Pope’s action. He was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "The king is not here …"
"It seems that Mr. Grignon decided to protect us …" Frederick II was touched by some feelings, and Princess Natalia also heard this conversation and immediately translated it to Ling Feiyang.
"But I just saw a few lines of footprints outside your mansion …" Hernandez suddenly said.
Although Ling Feiyang and other three people have already thought of this, they have already erased the footprints all the way, but Grioni is honest and not good at lying. When he hears Hernandez’s words, his face can’t help but show embarrassment.
