Bless You, Eminence

Bless You, Eminence

by Julian H. Woolley

[COMPLETED]"In the Holy State, the best way to cover up a mistake is to appoint an even bigger one." At 59, Reverend Huang Dawei of the Far East’s Pearl Port had set out toward the Eternal City of Aetna with unshakable faith. He believed that his appointment as Chancellor of the Sacred Economy of Sanctia was a divine reward from the Light. But he had no idea that he had been sent—like a sacrificial pawn—to a place where the books were a mess, creditors lurked in every shadow, and schemers waited for the perfect scapegoat. Yet, Archbishop Valerio, the Secretary of State, had calculated every move—except for one: no scheme could ever outwit a man who truly believed that all of this was a test from the Creator. Faced with the trap of corruption, Archbishop Huang declared: "This is the moment to prove my faith!"Confronted with deliberate humiliation, he responded: "This is the grace of the Light!" As the unspoken rules of the bureaucracy crumbled under the weight of "holy misinterpretation", the Secretary of State could only tremble and trace the holy emblem in the air: "Bless you, Eminence... May the Light protect you—and my blood pressure pills as well."
