Grand Duchess said, "There is indeed something about Finnie that would interest a mage."
Sure enough, Laddie sat quietly opposite her, waiting for the other party to continue talking.
"Half a year ago, she awakened to her potential in magic."
"Is that true? Did you guide her?"
"No!" Helen shook his head and denied, "At that time, I followed Mentor to learn magic because of chance, coincidence and curiosity."
"But when I grew up and realized how difficult it was for mages in this society, although I didn't regret my original decision, I didn't want Finnie to embark on this path again. If I accidentally..."
"Is there anyone else?"
"It's not..."
Princess Helen said this, with an expression of half pride and half worry on his face.
"Finnie, she is self-awakened."
"Self-awakening?"
Laddie was shocked! People who can self-awaken their magic potential are legendary among the mage community!
"Senior Helen, you... are you really like this?"
Helen replied with great certainty, "I am sure that Finnie has always been under my supervision. I know exactly who she has been in contact with."
"She didn't realize what it meant at the time, so I told her never to show this ability in front of anyone but me."
"Senior sister, it seems that her awakening has been known to some people. Children like Finnie don't know how to control their own abilities."
"Yes, I was still not careful enough."
Helen's voice revealed regret.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, we..."
Laddie was about to give his suggestion when another knock on the door came from outside.
"What's going on? I'm meeting a visitor."
The voice of the waiter just now came from outside the door. "Your Highness, Bishop Elvis of Niceburg is here to visit."
"Bishop?"
Helen and Laddie frowned. Because of Witch Hunt from the south and their own identities, they had an instinctive dislike for the faculty.
"Let him go back first, I'm busy now."
"Well... he handed me a box and said that if you don't want to see him, let me pass the box to you."
"Send it in!"
The door to the room opened, and the waiter came in and carefully placed a box on the table in front of the two of them, and then exited again.
Helen opened the box full of doubts.
"This... this is..."
Grand Duchess suddenly fell into a sluggish state.
Laddie looked into the box and saw a necklace inside.
"Senior, is there anything special about this necklace?"
Helen picked up the necklace and looked at it over and over again.
"This is Finnie's necklace! Yes! That's right! It's this necklace, a gift I personally gave to her."
Finally got a clue, Grand Duchess's face showed a mixture of sadness and joy.
"Why is Finnie's necklace in the hands of the local bishop?"
Helen suddenly calmed down. The magical potential of Church's power, Witch Hunt, and Finnie made her think of the most terrifying situation.
"Senior sister, there's no point in thinking about it. It's better to meet this Elvis Bishop."
"You're right."
Niceburg Bishop Elvis followed the waiter to the drawing room of the embassy.
Seeing Grand Duchess Princess Helen already waiting for him inside, the bishop immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Your Highness! Thank you for taking the time to meet with me."
Helen waved his hand. "No need to say any unnecessary polite words. Mr. Bishop, please take a seat first."
After Elvis sat down, Helen raised the necklace and asked, "Mr. Bishop, can you explain what is going on?"
"Oh, Your Highness, I believe you have recognized this necklace."
The look on Elvis's face was a bit teasing.
"The thing is like this, Church raided the stronghold of a group of evil wizards not long ago, and we met unexpected people there."
"Finnie?"
"Exactly, it is your sister who was kidnapped not long ago - Duchess Finnie. This necklace belongs to the Baroness."
Helen was shocked, on the one hand because he finally expected news about his sister, and on the other hand because his sister fell into the hands of Church.
She pretended to be calm and said in a slightly majestic voice, "Thank you for rescuing my sister, but why not just send her back?"
Elvis Bishop's expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Princess Helen, in addition to this necklace, we also found some interesting things on the Baroness."
Helen felt bad, "What is it?"
"Magic, Your Highness, we found the magic of the wizard in the Baroness."
"Absurd!"
Grand Duchess scolded sternly.
"It's not ridiculous at all, Princess Helen. After all, it's a big deal. We asked all the Witch Hunt Experts stationed in this city to come to confirm, but they came to a unanimous conclusion - Duchess Finnie is a Witch, or is on the road to Witch."
Helen stood up suddenly, "She is just an eleven-year-old child."
Elvis immediately said, "She is an eleven-year-old child, but she is also eleven-year-old Witch. Just because she is young does not mean that she can ignore her sins."
"Sin? She even feels guilty for stepping on an ant for a long time! Even if magic power is found in her, it was caused by being seduced by an evil witch. She doesn't know what it means!"
"Your sister does claim to know nothing, but as you know, Your Highness, wizards are always good at deceiving and beguiling people."
Helen stared at Elvis coldly. "I will let the Grand Duke lodge a protest with Horn Bay Archbishop!"
The bishop smiled without any worry on his face, "You don't need to bring out the archbishop to suppress me. The archbishop will definitely stand on the same side as me when it comes to the attitude towards wizards."
Helen was so anxious that she wanted to immediately call someone to detain the arrogant and rude guy in front of her, and then mobilize people to search for Niceburg Cathedral.
But she calmed down. After her sister fell into the hands of Church, although they did not send her back, they did not publicize it publicly.
Think about it carefully, after all, Finnie is a noble with a high status, Eton Grand Duke's sister-in-law, no matter how arrogant Church is, she does not dare to make her own decision, which will arouse the anger of the entire Jiaowan nobles.
Helen calmed down his heartbeat and regained his composure in his tone.
"May I ask what Mr. Bishop plans to do with my sister-in-law?"
"Disposal? Your Highness is serious."
"Isn't your method of treating so-called 'wizards' all about burning them at the stake?"
Elvis shook his head repeatedly. "That's how to deal with ordinary civilian wizards. For a noble person like Duchess Finnie, she just went astray. There have been such examples before. We usually ask their family members to strictly discipline them, shut themselves up, think about their mistakes, and get back on the right path."
"After all, you nobles are always privileged!"
This sentence is full of irony.
