I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 163 will get clerics and archbishops

Lev Milanovich was the son of an aristocrat who traced his nobility back to his grandfather, who was a captain of the Praetorian Guard.

Later, his grandfather died in a foreign war, but his grandfather gave birth to two sons. The eldest son left Russia in his 20s and has not been seen since.

The youngest son is his father, who also ran away from home at the age of 19, and later fell in love with an actress from a theater troupe. Although his father inherited his grandfather's title, he was already in dire straits.

He tried every means to seduce this beautiful girl from a wealthy family, and later gave birth to him.

His father suffered from a brain tumor when he was eight years old and died at the age of 36.

The 30-year-old mother had to return to her old career in order to raise three sons and two daughters, but fortunately, her mother soon became famous and was invited to perform at the Saxony State Opera for a while.

Then, the mother became the mistress of a Saxony duke.

Lev Milanovich was fostered by his mother in a priest's house because of his weak health when he was a child.

Although the priest was only 26 years old at the time, he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The priest's father was a shoemaker and his mother was a tailor. If he had not been favored by an archbishop, he would not have become a priest from a citizen.

The priest also has a younger sister.

Lev Milanovich swears that the girl seduced him first, and the two got together.

Then Lev Milanovich grew up slowly, and he learned a lot of skills, including the priest's father's shoe repair and his mother's tailoring skills.

Most importantly, the priest has been patiently teaching him religious knowledge.

One day, the priest's younger sister was sick and kept screaming for no reason. Everyone thought that she was infected with an evil spirit, so the priest began to exorcise his sister.

Unfortunately, however, the exorcism failed.

So the priest's family invited a very famous exorcist in the diocese, who also held the position of priest. This priest was tall, handsome and elegant.

Sure enough, under the priest's exorcism, his lover recovered.

But Lev Milanovich secretly witnessed how the priest exorcised demons, and how his lover shamelessly had a disgusting relationship with a new acquaintance.

From then on, Lev Milanovich severed ties with the young lady with aristocratic elegance, and aspired to be a priest who surpassed this priest.

Compared with the priest living in this house, it is less difficult for him to become a priest.

Because his father was an aristocrat.

So he began to study all kinds of knowledge hard, and did not miss any opportunity to preach with the priest.

Finally, at the age of 22, he has learned something.

He counted all the dioceses and settled on the diocese of Rostov Archbishop Arthuris Metsyevich.

The climate here is pleasant, the area is rich, and it has good development prospects.

There were also numerous serfs under the supervision of Archbishop Metzjevich.

As we all know, the number of serfs is the symbol to measure whether a person is rich.

Thanks to the priest's love for him, Lev Milanovich got a letter of recommendation from the bishop who favored the priest.

He first traveled long distances to Rostov, but to his surprise the archbishop was not here, but in Moscow.

Moscow, where his grandfather played for the royal family.

So Lev Milanovich rushed to Moscow without stopping.

He hoped to be ordained and serve in the diocese of Metzjevich.

If all goes well, he hopes to obtain a fourth-class priesthood and become a missionary.

Finally, after a long journey, Lev Milanovich came to Moscow for the first time.

For the first time he met the archbishop, old Metzjevich.

Bishops can marry, but Bishop Metzjevich is a widow.

Lev Milanovich met the old man not in a church, but in a mansion.

Although the old man is 65 years old, he has a strong spiritual vitality. He is obviously rich and has such a gorgeous mansion in Moscow.

He lives a comfortable life here, drinks delicious food, and even hangs around among some high-class ladies to solve their problems.

Unfortunately, the archbishop suffered from gout and lost all his teeth.

Even so, it does not prevent the old man from becoming a gourmet.

Perhaps in order to avoid the ugliness of being seen eating, he always eats alone.

But Lev Milanovich made the old man appreciate him by virtue of his violent eating method without aristocratic manners.

Because when it comes to eating, no one can be uglier than him.

So the relationship between Lev Milanovich and the archbishop suddenly became close.

After a few days like this, Lev Milanovich heard from the archbishop that the Privy Council had established a Notre Dame, with Ivanovich, the director of the mysterious office, as the vice president.

Both of them didn't take it seriously, and continued to carry out their comfortable daily life with their own needs.

Metzjevic hoped to see someone uglier than himself when eating, and Lev Milanovic hoped to please the archbishop and get a good position.

And in such exchanges, Lev Milanovich learned more about the archbishop.

Despite his age, the bishop fell in love with a girl named Immel, the daughter of a theater actress who lived across the street from his mansion.

Strictly speaking, the old man bought this place just to see this girl.

From here you can see the girl's window directly.

Sometimes the actress would bring her daughter to visit, but Immel refused to show any kindness to the old man.

This often annoys the archbishop, who then has to discuss philosophy and pious beliefs with him to keep his peace of mind.

Lev Milanovich asked strangely:

"Master Bishop, why don't you provide her with a guaranteed source of life?"

Metzjevich shook his head and sighed:
"Even for the jeweled crown, she would not commit such a capital crime."

Lev Milanovich felt deep pity for the poor old man who seemed to be really in love, and he said:
"Then you either have her quickly, or drive her away!"

Metzjevich sighed:
"I am too old to do this or that, and I have neither the physical nor the moral strength."

Lev Milanovich had no choice but to say: "I'm so sorry for you."

Since this conversation, Lev Milanovic has grown closer to the archbishop, a relationship he is convinced will bring him unimaginable benefits.
