Standing on the steps in front of the Holy Light Cathedral, Emperor Reinhardt was in a trance.
The afternoon sun was so dazzling that the emperor couldn't help but squint his eyes.
The words of Pope Gregory were still echoing in his ears. Although he knew that this was a provocative word, the Great Reinhardt was still planted with a spike in his heart.
It plunges deep into the blood vessels, and with every beat of the heart, it will cause a tingling pain.
It was inconspicuous at first, but as time went on, it became more and more unbearable for Emperor Reinhardt.
Suspicious, this is a personality trait that every person with a sense of control cannot escape.
The gorgeous carriage slowly started, leaving the holy mountain, and returning to the Phoenix Palace not long after.
Emperor Reinhardt walked in with great thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to the queen's bedroom unknowingly.
After hesitating at the door, Emperor Reinhardt finally walked in.
"...Well, mother!"
As soon as he entered, Emperor Reinhardt saw Princess Judy squeezing herself into Queen Midella's arms and coquettishly. On the sofa beside her, Prince Harrison was sitting.
Seeing Emperor Reinhardt walk in, Prince Harrison quickly got up and said, "Father!"
Princess Judy pouted, turned her head and looked at Emperor Reinhardt eagerly, as if she wanted to ask for his help.
Emperor Reinhardt smiled and asked his daughter: "Judy, what do you want?"
Princess Judy replied immediately: "Father, we all heard that Cousin Vera had an accident, so we want to visit her in Winter City!"
The smile on Emperor Reinhardt's face suddenly faded, frowning and said: "You just came back from the outside, so you are in such a hurry to run to the north? Is the Phoenix Palace really inferior to the Lion's Roar?"
Queen Midella gave her husband a surprised look, and seemed to hear something else in his tone.
Seeing that her father did not support herself, Princess Judy almost fell into tears when she was wronged.
But Emperor Reinhardt didn't seem to intend to compromise on this matter, and he ordered in a stern tone: "Judy, Harrison, you go out first, I have something to discuss with your mother."
"Yes." Prince Harrison nodded obediently, stepped forward and took his sister's hand, and walked out.
Princess Judy also noticed that her father was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to say anything, she quietly stuck her tongue out, put away the pitiful look just put away, and left her head sullenly.
Queen Midella changed her sitting position, and the tailored court dress perfectly showed every bump, woven into a fascinating curve. Her dark blue eyes stared at Emperor Reinhardt, as if she could Penetrating all the thoughts in his heart, his soft red lips curled up in a graceful arc, saying:
"What? Have you met Pope Gregorian?"
Emperor Reinhardt tilted his head slightly, as if avoiding his wife's burning gaze, and said, "Yes."
"What did he tell you?"
Emperor Reinhardt repeated the dialogue between himself and the Pope, and finally added: Gu
"I think what he said is reasonable. Even if the target that the North and East wants to deal with this time is Gregorian, but this time they dare to challenge the spokesperson of the Supreme Lord, next time, maybe they dare to challenge the royal family. Authority challenged!
Therefore, such behavior should never be tolerated, let alone encouraged. "
Queen Midella quietly listened to her husband's narration, and after a moment of silence, she asked in a condensed voice: "So, are you planning to unite with the Pope to put pressure on the North?"
"Yes. Although I also want to take this opportunity to weaken the power of the church, Gregorian is also right. The behavior in the North and East is extremely dangerous. I must not let them taste the success and challenge the current situation. The sweetness of order, otherwise, the hearts of the empire will be in chaos!"
"Then have you ever thought that if you are on the side of the Pope this time, it will be a betrayal of the imperial aristocracy! From now on, the San Lorenzo family will continue to be regarded as aristocratic leaders?"
Emperor Reinhardt suddenly suffocated, his face changed drastically, and after struggling for a while, he asked again: "Then what do you think I should do?"
"You are the emperor of the empire and the leader of the nobility. At this critical moment, you must be clear about your position and don't be fooled by Gregorian's rhetoric!"
"but…"
"No but! If you don't want the San Lorenzo family to completely lose the support of the nobles, you must never make a betrayal at such a critical moment!
Of course, I also understand your concerns. This incident will indeed cause the lords of the Northern and Eastern Territories to become unaffected.
In fact, this is not difficult to solve. "
"How to solve it?" Emperor Reinhardt's eyes lit up and asked eagerly.
Queen Midella smiled slightly and said: "You can take advantage of the trend, publicly support the actions of the North, and ask the Pope to explain the murder of the Duke of St. Hild."
"This is your solution?" Reinhardt obviously couldn't understand the advice given by his wife, and UU reading was full of doubts.
Queen Midella calmly explained: "Think about it carefully. In this way, the behavior of the North and the East will no longer be a rebellion, but will be directed to the pseudo-believers in the church under your order. The righteous act of attacking!
Once this happens, all the merits and glory will go to you, not to the St. Hild family.
Your prestige and authority will reach unprecedented levels. At that time, will you still be afraid that the lords will give birth to infidelity? "
"Yeah!" The Great Reinhardt clapped his palms excitedly and exclaimed, "For such a simple truth, I was almost fooled by the old Gregorian!"
Queen Midella smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't want to be confused by some people with ulterior motives, you must figure out who is your enemy and who is your friend."
Emperor Reinhardt nodded heavily, stepped forward and gently kissed his wife's smooth forehead, and smiled: "My dear, I figured it out clearly! St. Hild is my most loyal friend! Damn church talent. Is my worst enemy!
‘The secular belong to the aristocracy, and the faith belong to the church’!
I have tolerated these guys for too long, and the order of the empire should not be what it is now!
This time, let us work together to completely drive the influence of the church out of the secular realm! "
Afterwards, he walked out violently and exclaimed excitedly: "I will arrange a public speech. I will reveal Gregorian's ugly face to the people of the empire. Keep the glory of the Lord from being defiled, and work together to clean up this rotten and fallen church!"
Looking at the back of Emperor Reinhardt, the smile on Queen Midella's face became more and more brilliant, but in her eyes, there was still a hint of disdain.
