He is the Holy Son of the Holy See, but a master of black magic.

Standing not far away from the two people, the Duke of Anjou was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and touched his chin.

After carefully considering some of the findings she had seen during the previous investigation, she felt that the speculation of the old voodoo spell master still had some truth to it.

However--

"Devil Andy...this old guy is too good at nonsense."

The Duchess muttered to herself.

Demons were born in hell, and the empire's authority did not rely on its own strength.

The reason why an empire is an empire is because it has countless glorious history and glory, and is unanimously recognized by many forces.

Where did this recognition come from?

The main source is to suppress hell, prevent the infiltration of dark forces, and use iron-blooded means to continuously clean up all extremely unstable factors in the territory...

Navy, Army, Air Force, and even Space Force.

Although it is already a world hegemon, why does the empire still raise troops on a large scale and station troops everywhere?

The reason is naturally not to maintain hegemony, but to maintain the basic order of most of the world.

Hell is invisible, and those hell beings appear in all kinds of strange places.

Deep sea, underground, in the clouds, and even outside the atmosphere...

This is the reason why the Duke of Anjou led the Dragoon Legion to be stationed in an uninhabited Pacific island.

In other words, the empire's understanding of hell is extremely profound.

The reason why the old guy from Voodoo is talking nonsense involves the current queen.

The queen, who came from a grassroots background, rose up in the military, and the military's main method of meritorious service was to eliminate the invasion and infiltration of hell forces.

To put it simply, the Queen’s understanding of life in hell is definitely the best in the world!

Even her rise to the top is related to the forces of hell.

During the era of the Queen's "father-in-law", the old emperor, there was serious chaos within the empire.

The reason is that there is a demon archduke who walks in the world, secretly constantly instigating various forces, and even bewitching the royal family, creating a series of unjust and wrong cases, causing public dissatisfaction and greatly weakening the authority of the empire.

In the end, Her Majesty the Queen, who was born in the army, brought order to the chaos, "clearing the emperor's side", "fake marriage", and "wearing a yellow robe".

After a set of combination punches, he successfully usurped the throne with great prestige, and then slaughtered the Ramones royal family to the point where only a single seedling was left. This was the situation that was stabilized.

It also completely cut off the life support of the Devil Archduke and eliminated the chaos.

The Demon Archduke and the Demon Archduke are not the same thing.

The former is much more difficult to deal with than the latter, and is also much better at pretending.

And how old was the Queen back then?

Less than twenty years old, just like a little girl!

She is now over thirty.

Therefore, although Andy is found to be very abnormal, his methods and abilities are completely inconsistent with his upbringing experience.

But if Andy is really a demon archduke who appears in the Queen's field of vision, could he hide it from her?

What a joke!

However, although it is impossible for Andy to be, this evil archduke...

The other two people in the room didn't know that someone was eavesdropping not far away.

As soon as the judgment that Andy was the Archduke of Evil appeared, the conversation between the two parties came to a standstill and they remained silent for a while.

Until Father Matthew, who was pale and full of fear in his heart, fearing that the devil would play with his soul after death, he suddenly realized something.

"If Andy is really the demon archduke, then his plan to get to the heart of the York royal family may not be to threaten the royal family, but to awaken his true nature through something within the royal family...?"

"I guess so." replied the old spell master in the mirror.

"But since we have guessed this possibility, then this matter..."

As he murmured, the paleness on the priest's face faded, and he became a little excited, "Then we can report this matter to the empire!"

"The Demon Lord is about to appear, but we have noticed the clues. If this is true, how much credit must be given?"

"Yes, for such a great achievement, you may be able to be received by Her Majesty the Queen."

Seeing this normally calm student become so excited, the old spell master smiled.

"Compared to this honor, what are the benefits you gained from planning the transfer of the York family?"

"We could have them all!"

Matthew said immediately, not thinking that everything he had done before was meaningless.

But unknowingly, his attention has now shifted to the Demon Duke.

"Back then, the power of the empire was able to crush a devil archduke. Why did it cause large-scale chaos later?"

"It is precisely because the Ramones royal family was not aware of the existence of the devil at all in the early stage, so they were bewitched step by step, and allowed the devil to increase their strength and control power, and finally fell into madness."

"Although this demon is slightly weaker now, if he is allowed to awaken and continue to regain strength, the empire will inevitably encounter large-scale chaos."

"But now, we have a chance to stop this..."

The priest began to pace back and forth in the bedroom, thinking in his mind.

"Josiah York!"

Suddenly he thought of someone.

"When I first met Andy at the hotel and mentioned this name, Andy paid unusual attention to him."

"The matter of the Demon Duke must be related to the last king of York!"

"It's not just about him, it's also about the entire York family!"

Under the smiling gaze of the old man in the mirror, Father Matthew in the bedroom was pacing quickly, his expression suddenly clear, as if he had understood everything.

"I didn't give gifts back then because I didn't think that a mere steward from the royal family could control the appointment of bishops in the local evangelical church."

"In the end, I failed. I thought the local church was rotten to the core and was in cahoots with the York royal family."

"Now that I think about it, that's exactly what happened."

"But why did I fail?"

"It's not that I didn't give any gifts, it's that I won't be controlled by the royal family!"

The more he spoke, the more excited his tone became.

"The York royal family knows about the Demon Archduke and keeps concealing all traces of its existence!"

"But in order to do this, the royal family must make the evangelical church, which is good at dealing with the forces of hell, not aware of any doubts."

"This is impossible!"

"So they turned to using interests, conspiracy, and even forceful means to connect with the local church leaders, bind them, or even exclude them!"

"Why can Norman defeat me and become the bishop?"

"It's not because he gave gifts, but because he is mediocre, incompetent, has no prestige, and is an old fool. He is a very suitable target for making excuses."

"It turns out that he was indeed ignored later..."

Speaking of the past injustices, the priest couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed.

"Everyone in the York family deserves death!"
