After that, Richelieu planned to have the big clergy guy to follow Meissner as his underling to proceed with the next plan and make the prince feel devastated for his choices. The target that he aimed for is Lucas (MC's brother). With Richelieu's meddling, Lucas is able to run away and have a face to face quarrel in the back alley (view the chapters where Nora and Jeremy infiltrated the place). This is for the prince to understand how ignorant he had been when this plan was something that he had a joined hand in.
Richelieu has to dispose of Lucas because he is not a righteous person. If he ignored Lucas, he would come back and bite Meissner, which is good news. But the bad news is that he can also cause harm for the reputation of both Theodore (because Lucas recognized him as one of the main masterminds) and the Vatican (Lucas can do all that, he’s smart, but he didn’t use this for the right things). Theodore is his stepping stone and the Vatican is his belief. Of course, Richelieu wanted to protect both.
On that same night when Nora and Jeremy started the infiltration, Richelieu had already come to the prince's private chamber and waited for him to come back. Richelieu brought the big guy with him so that the prince wouldn’t chase him out this time. The moment Theodore saw the big guy, he knew that all those years thinking that he had outlived Richelieu was false. Richelieu got him dancing in his palm but he never told the prince about the things that he should and shouldn’t do.
