298. Pope's Regrets

Sylvester waited for the Pope to read the whole report that he had written. It had everything in it, from the moment he learned about the crime to the recent findings and how he spied on the two Cardinals. 

He kept a keen eye and nose on the Pope. 'Good, the anger is building up, along with disgust. Hate, sadness, and doubt—Come on, old man. You can do it. I understand you're more of a politician, but you need not be scared of a few fools.' 

Sylvester had tried his best to understand the Pope all this time. Initially, he saw him as a good man and then as an evil man. But, eventually, he concluded that the Pope was neither because he was a politician.
