Benjamin finally understood the situation

Not only was he the cannon fodder for Grant, he was also an innocent chess piece in the game of war between the church and the nobles, as well as between the nobles

The nobles were not happy with the increasing control of the church, which hy they retaliated Since the church targeted the younger generation of the nobles, the nobles had no plans to let the younger generation of the church off the hook Their way of retaliation was to destroy the enius of the church, the one ill most probably be the next in line as the Pope

Of course, one of the reasons was probably Accius’s personal vendetta against the Lithurs

That hy Accius ordered this boy to seduce Grant Although the church did not care about who Grant was sleeping with, hos of the church Hence, if this was exposed, the church have no choice but to cripple itself and burn Grant to death

With that, the church was effectively affected, and they could cause conflict between the church and the Lithur household, as always loyal Once there was a crack in their relationshi+p, the church’s influence within the nobles would also be indirectly weakened All in all, this was indeed a cunning er

However, the church seemed to have preventative measures in place already

Before all of this blew up, they found Mary, who always had the idea to let Benjaether seamlessly just like that, and the plan to substitute the ‘prince’ with a dupe was born

That was really a beautiful plan

Without a doubt, it was executed perfectly Accius was co and mistakenly assu in hisimpression that he has successfully shattered the hope of the church and settled vengeance against the Lithurs

He would not even iine that the church and Mary had already collaborated to stage this performance for him

Benjahed at the irony

This was like a battle of the heavens, where the angels had a great war The nobles noticed the church’s Achilles’ Heel and proceeded to shoot at it in hopes to deal a critical hit However, the church was not even worried They siround and blocked the attack

That mortal was Benjamin

And the funniest thing? This was just a tiny exchange between the two There will be another one after this, and another, and another And the Benjaotten by everyone

Yeah, ould remember him?

Grant will take his identity after he was burnt to death, and use the name ‘Benjamin’ to live on discreetly until the day when he could finally stand out again Then, everyone will sigh once again under the orders of the church and exclaienius!” The nobles will not be able to use ‘Benjaain

What a perfect plan!

Who would even remember him then?

The person as burnt to death on a cross in place of the future pope

After Benjah the boy in the next cell, the boy looked nervous and he remained motionless at the sa to start screaain for people to capture the real Grant instead of this fake one

It was understandable, really He sacrificed himself for an imposter; how could he live with that?

Unfortunately, no one cared to acknowledge him Even if he shouted until his throat beca Centre was as silent as death itself

In truth, there were nuuard at the entrances and exits in every level of the Cleansing Centre No doubt, there was no way that they would bother this boy They were the people of the church, and the church always intended for Benjamin to be the cannon fodder for Grant

This boy was the sanificant chess piece between the battles of the two sides

Chess piece

Benjaer and unwillingness bottled up in him

He sat on the cold, hard floor, suddenly recalling the night when Michelle ordered him to pass the letter to the church At that moment, he was also just a chess piece in the contest between the church and Michelle However, that tiain leverage for him to one day be the chess player

So many days have passed, and he was still the chess piece

It felt as if this was a role-playing game that has multiple outcomes The main character makes ing the plot of the storyline, and finally at the end, the character obtains his rewards

Was this it?

His life, a messy blueprint named ‘A Chess Piece’, with a description of less than 50 words?

He was not satisfied How could he be? Even the Syste it is to die at a place like this, and how much of a waste of talent this would be

But what could he do with all this emotions?

He could not escape this tiny cage, much less the cross in front of the public tomorrow afternoon

When he was kidnapped by Michelle before, he was in a similar predicament where he was constantly shrouded by the veil of death; but at least he could still see hope He gripped tightly to that hope like a breeze in a sealed cave, and finally dug his own escape out of the situation

What now?

Now, he could not even see a glimpse of hope
