Chapter 325 Decided to surrender
Krapeosu opened Meiyi's letter, read it carefully, and after reading it for a while, he said: "Let Illya handle this matter. He also sent a copy to Illya, Queen Aiqilu."
and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Roseway. He said that poverty is not a virtue, and it is immoral to let the priests live a poor life when the kingdom is trying to make all citizens rich. He decided to unite the main temple and the Kingdom of Roseway to establish clergy
The Care Fund ensures that priests can live a decent and dignified life."
Angelia said: "Did he mention Calliope?"
The Pope said: "It was mentioned in another letter. This letter was not copied to anyone. In the letter, he said that Calliope intended to assassinate the king in Melovi and committed a serious crime. He did not intend to publicize it.
In order to maintain the reputation of the main temple, it will hunt down Calliope and prevent her from harming other Maylawi citizens. Accordingly, the main temple should not protect Callibio or silence her, otherwise it will shake the believers' trust in the main temple.
The confidence of the temple. The Kingdom of Roseville will restrict the entry of clergy in the next year. Please understand."
Angelia said calmly: "He is clearly the one who intends to protect Calliope. According to Maylawi's laws, Calliope cannot die as long as he enters the judicial process. In addition, he has meritorious service in hunting Warcraft.
, he might be released after less than a year in custody."
The Pope said: "Even if I want to get involved in this matter now, I have no room for it. The letter was written in a subtle way, but I can see it. If Cariobi is silenced, he will directly tell the story about the main temple sending people to assassinate him.
Revealed...why wasn't he the one Calliobi met in the first place?"
Angeliya smiled and said, "What you said is so unfair to Ilia."

In fact, Calliope's assassination of the king was not concealed for long before someone knew about it - Fisher felt that this was not a trivial matter, so after Meiyi left, he reported the matter to Sheriff Markey, who greatly
He was shocked, but he didn't dare to make the decision without permission when it came to the king's affairs, so he sent more people to secretly track down Calliope's whereabouts, and sent a secret letter to Feng Yuan, the Minister of Intelligence.
When Feng Yuan got the letter, it was already late at night on the day Meiyi came back. She ran into the palace, pulled Meiyi up from the bed, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, why did you go to the ruins?
?What happened when I was almost assassinated by Calliope? Why haven’t I heard you mention it?”
Mei Yi rubbed her eyes and said: "Feng Yuan, weren't you on vacation at Yue'er Lake? Why did you come back suddenly?"
Feng Yuan was angry and anxious: "If something like this happens, can I still take a vacation?"
Meiyi said with relief: "It's not a big deal. I'm not okay. Nothing happened. You came just in time, so I don't have to go to Yue'er Lake to find you tomorrow. By the way, is Liu Xi okay?"
Feng Yuan's face turned red with anger: "King!"
Meiyi briefly told what happened at the ruins, and before Feng Yuan could get angry, she hurriedly said: "Don't get angry yet, wait until I finish. I learned about this Calliope through Bishop Angelia.
He is not a heinous person. As the former first cardinal, he has a special and noble status, not to mention that he helped us kill several monsters. I have decided to sign the pardon and not pursue any further investigation."
Feng Yuan exclaimed: "Ah? Not to be held accountable?"
Mei Yi said: "Yes, but this is only for her crime against me. The Intelligence Department immediately traced this person's whereabouts to ensure that she will not harm the citizens of Mei Luo Wei and cannot leave Mei Luo Wei. If there is no behavior that endangers her safety,
, just keep monitoring her for a period of time and then let her go."
Feng Yuan stopped arguing. Mei Yi just said "I have decided", which meant that there was no room for negotiation on the matter.
Feng Yuan sighed: "King, I respect your decision. But have you ever thought about it? If she succeeds, how serious the consequences will be?"
Mei Yi said: "I always think she is quite pitiful. If Mei Luowei can't tolerate such a person, how can you let her live openly and with her head held high?"
Feng Yuan said: "I can't argue with you. Now, what should I do?"
Meiyi said: "Let the Ministry of Intelligence take over this matter directly. This matter has probably spread. It can't be concealed anymore, so we simply won't hide it anymore. If we don't search, we probably won't be able to deal with the outside world. If we don't search, we won't arrest."
, just wait until the storm passes."
Feng Yuan said helplessly: "As you wish, Your Majesty the King."

The Goddess' Day holiday passed quickly. Serena, Qiluo and Liuxi returned to the palace one after another. Serena scolded Meiyi severely after knowing that Meiyi went to the ruins and was almost assassinated, but the couple
There was no overnight feud, and the two soon became inseparable again, loving each other as before.
In the Bishop City, the news that someone had assassinated King Meiyi had spread widely, causing intense panic among the citizens of the Bishop City. Almost half of the citizens ran to the door of the city hall and demanded that the city hall investigate the murderer.
Soon, Rose City began to dispatch personnel to take over various entrances and exits of the Bishop City and conduct strict checks on people entering and exiting.
Where's Calliope?
She is indeed still in the Bishop's City.
After putting on daily clothes, cutting off her long hair, and getting rid of the shackles of her identity as the head of the Knights Templar, her entire mental state changed and she took on a whole new look. Almost no one recognized her anymore. The only person who could tell the difference was
What revealed her identity was the long black sword she carried with her.
After staying in a family hotel in Bishop City for a few days, the proprietress of the hotel suddenly walked into the restaurant in a panic and said loudly: "Oh my God, do you know! I just passed by the city hall and I heard that someone was planning to attack the ruins.
Assassinate our king! Now the people from Rose City have arrived and started hunting for the murderer!"
There was an explosion in the restaurant. Some people were shocked and said: "What? It's impossible? Why do these people want to assassinate our king?"
"How is the king now? Will he be fine? If something happens to him, what will we do?"
Some people almost cried.
"Needless to say, it must be the nobles of the Elf Kingdom. When King Meiyi was in the Elf Kingdom, he abolished the privileges of the nobles in the territory, causing panic among the nobles. These people have never stopped persecuting our king.
He died, but fortunately our king has the blessing of the goddess."
Someone said angrily.
The proprietress of the family hotel said hurriedly: "The king is fine. He has returned to Rose City now."
Everyone let out a long breath and praised the goddess one after another.
Calliope just sat quietly in the corner of the restaurant, saying nothing.
Previously, she had been responsible for collecting information about Warcraft in the wilderness in the northwest of the kingdom, and was almost completely disconnected from the life of the Elf Kingdom. Although she was the captain of Illya's guard, she only accepted various orders from the Pope.
She didn't know anything about Meiyi's story.
After hearing the Pope talk about Ilia's fascination with Meiyi, she instinctively thought that Ilia, like herself, had met an aristocratic young man who was smooth-talking, good-looking, and corrupt. In order to prevent Ilia from making the same mistake again.
Taking responsibility for herself, her first reaction was to kill this person so that Illya could successfully take over the position of pope.
When Illya took the initiative to say that she liked him and felt ashamed, hoping to resign as the first cardinal, Calliope became even more determined to kill.
Recalling that night in the cave, she couldn't fall asleep. When she got up and wanted to go to the cave to get some air, she took advantage of the lightning to glance at Mei Yi's sleeping face and thought to herself: It's not that I want everything, and I can't do anything.
.If the man I was in love with at that time was half as good as you, I would give up the position of Pope without hesitation. You won’t understand my feelings. The hero who conquered Warcraft in my mind is actually just a gangster who kneels invisibly.
The dog wagging its tail in front of you! He is just a shameless liar!
When she thought of this, her psychology became unbalanced, and her jealousy towards Illya suddenly swelled like crazy. She picked up the black sword and wanted to kill the human king in front of her, the real hero who conquered Warcraft.
She no longer knew her purpose, whether it was to allow Illya to succeed to the throne smoothly, or whether it was just to calm her inner jealousy and anger.
In the few days after returning to Bishop's Town from the ruins, she heard many stories about Mei Yi. She also went to the small theater in Bishop's Town to watch a play about Mei Yi in the Elf Kingdom, and shed a lot of tears.
When she found out that the Meifant in the drama was Mei Yi, whom she almost killed, she was shocked.
When she tentatively asked the audience sitting next to her if this story was fictional, the senior drama enthusiast next to her, an elf aunt, enthusiastically said: "Girl, are you from other places? These are all our king's."
Real experience.”
Looking at Calliope's doubtful eyes, the aunt said: "I used to be a resident of Sombra City. When I heard that our great lord founded the country, I moved my family to Maylowe. Almost everything that happened in this drama I
I have experienced them all, including the enfeoffment ceremony. Don’t believe it, my son made great achievements in fighting against bandits and was made a knight by Princess Aiqilu. I was invited to watch the enfeoffment ceremony."
Calliope was shocked: "Is it all true?"
Then, she murmured: "I...what have I done? No wonder Illya fell in love with him..."
She had originally vowed to be a "free Calliope", but suddenly she was put under heavy spiritual shackles.
The next day, she watched Mei Luo Wei's latest drama "Blood and Sword: The Arrival of the Goddess". When she saw Mei Yi's experience in the demi-human kingdom, she completely collapsed and fell into a deep sense of guilt.
, holding his head and crying tears of regret.
She did not stand out among the audience because there were too many viewers who cried harder and sadder than her.
It turns out that the man he almost killed was his ideal hero.
The memory ends here.
She finished her meal, walked out of the restaurant, and walked towards the south gate of Rose City, intending to surrender.
Chapter completed!
