Snapped!
The crystal wine glass hit the white-glazed rock floor heavily, and scattered into countless flying crystal fragments.
"Crete St. Grian!"
Emperor Reinhard's angry roar echoed in the empty hall.
"Deborah, what does she want!
In the Holy Light Cathedral, a cardinal was blatantly killed!
She is despising the authority of the church!
It is a blasphemy against the glory of the Supreme Lord!
should be… be…”
When Emperor Reinhard said this, he dared not say the sentence "should be burned to death on the cross".
After all, no one dared to openly declare that a paladin would be burned to death, not even the emperor of the empire.
When Prince Lehi "killed" his own uncle, the consul of the Imperial Senate, he was just expelled. Who would dare to bring him to justice
Therefore, at this moment, Emperor Reinhardt could only vent his anger on Crete St. Grian, the consul of the Western Territory.
The Consul of Crete is also full of helplessness. If the Duke of St. Grian is not a paladin, he may still have a little restraint on the opponent, but the current Duke of St. Grian... the Consul of Crete is really nothing. No, at this moment, I can only bear the roar of Emperor Reinhard silently.
It took a long time for Emperor Reinhard to calm down. Perhaps he finally understood that his anger was just incompetent rage after all, unable to change the current situation a little.
Cardinal Knopton is dead, and a series of plans by Emperor Reinhardt have also failed.
Gregory sat firmly on the Pope, and no one in the church could threaten him. Moreover, he would reach a settlement agreement with the Northern Territory, and the entire Northern Territory Diocese would become independent.
At this point, the St. Hilde family's dominance in the northern border will be extremely stable.
And all of this has nothing to do with the royal family.
As the ruler of the empire, Reinhardt the Great found himself like an outsider.
"Where is Duke St. Grian now? I want to see her." Emperor Reinhard stared at the Consul of Crete with dark eyes, and said coldly.
The Consul of Crete said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I don't know where the Duke of St. Gerian is now! She came to Yulong City this time, and she never came to look for me from the beginning to the end... But I guess, she should He has already left Yulong City and went to find the Northern Army.
After all, at this time, she just wants to promote the reconciliation between the church and the northern border as soon as possible, so that the empire can integrate its forces and make a unified external. "
The corner of Reinhardt's mouth twitched a few times.
When Duke St. Grian came to Yulong City this time, not only did he not see the consul of the western region, but even the emperor of the empire didn't bother to pay him a visit. This kind of arrogant attitude made Emperor Reinhard's heart full of anger.
After panting for a while, Emperor Reinhard finally calmed down. He snorted coldly, waved his hand angrily, and said to the Consul of Crete:
"Okay, you go down."
When only Emperor Reinhardt and Baron Heidegger were left in the hall, he gritted his teeth and growled at the Prime Minister of the Empire:
"Look at these paladins, one is more arrogant than the other, they act recklessly and lawlessly all day long! They never put me, the emperor, in their eyes!
Is this the so-called 'Gift of the Supreme Lord to mankind'
I think they are the root of the empire's chaos! "
Emperor Reinhard vented for a while, then came to Baron Heidegger again, lowered his voice and asked:
"Is there anything you can do about Deborah St. Grian?"
Baron Heidegger looked at the murderous Emperor Reinhardt, and sighed in his heart.
Of course he knew that the emperor had always been extremely resistant and afraid of the paladins of the empire.
Even the royal family's own paladin, Prince Lehi, was framed by the emperor and forced to leave.
Now, the emperor actually has the idea of the Duke of St. Grian again!
Without the slightest amount of tolerance, let alone a bit of leadership, Emperor Reinhardt was actually not a qualified monarch in Baron Heidegger's heart.
But it is a pity that the birth of an imperial emperor does not lie in ability, but in blood.
Who gave Emperor Reinhardt a good birth...
Baron Heidegger had no choice but to put away the boredom in his heart, and gently persuaded:
"Your Majesty, at this critical moment, we still need a paladin like the Duke of St. Grian to fight against the Orc Empire. You can't destroy such a powerful force!"
Emperor Reinhard snorted coldly, and gradually calmed down.
However, the dangerous gleam in his eyes showed that the fear of Duke St. Grian was still not completely dispelled, and he was only temporarily patient.
"Now that Nopton is dead, our plans are all over. Tell me, what should we do next?"
Baron Heidegger breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Emperor Reinhardt was no longer entangled with Duke St. Grian for the time being, and said:
"Your Majesty, any plan may fail, and we can only accept this fact at this time.
Now that the reconciliation between the North and the church has become a foregone conclusion, the most important thing you should do is to take the initiative to become the host and mediator of this peace negotiation. "
"Well, this is fine." Emperor Reinhard nodded, very satisfied with the prime minister's proposal. He had had enough of being an outsider and was trying his best to get a foot in this negotiation.
"What else? Do we want to do anything about this peace talk?"
"Your Majesty, the terms of the Northern Territory and the Church have been negotiated, and it is difficult for us to have any more room for display." Baron Heidegger said, but seeing Emperor Reinhardt's dissatisfaction, he added, "However, The plan I proposed to you before, to win over Count Angelet, can still go ahead."
Emperor Reinhard walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he didn't want to implement the wooing plan proposed by the prime minister. After all, Emperor Reinhard feared Colin more than he appreciated it, and he couldn't trust the guardian of the northern border.
But now, the situation in the empire has become more and more unfavorable to the royal family.
The Northern Territory successfully suppressed the church this time, allowing them to spit out a large piece of fat—the Northern Territory Diocese became independent.
Moreover, the Duke of St. Grian even hooked up with the northern border, and seemed to have the intention of joining forces.
In addition, the Eastern Territory has a tendency to become a vassal of the Northern Territory...
The more Emperor Reinhard thought about it, the more his heart became colder. He finally stopped, looked at Baron Heidegger steadfastly, and said:
"Even if I want to win over Count Angelet, I can't give him the position of guardian of the empire now, right? After all, he is still too young, and he hasn't made much contribution to the empire."
"Of course you can't directly grant him the position of Guardian of the Empire." Baron Heidegger said, "Things that are obtained too easily will not be cherished. Your Majesty, you can test Earl Angelet's attitude first and guide him slowly." He turned his back on the northern border and turned to your command."
"How to test?"
"The Duke of the North is now in a long sleep, and I believe that Earl Angelet does not want to be with a vegetable for the rest of his life, and, you know, he has no heirs yet.
Therefore, you can first test whether Earl Angelet intends to divorce and remarry.
If there is, then you can help him choose a daughter of the royal family... "
"Well, that's a good idea." Emperor Reinhard nodded with satisfaction, "As long as Earl Angelet divorces Duke St. Hilde, he will inevitably be rejected by the Northern Territory, and I must accept his allegiance." So much easier!"
Baron Heidegger took the opportunity to add:
"Your Majesty, if Count Angelet agrees to divorce his wife and remarry, then you can trust this person.
This orc war just happened to give him a chance to make full use of his strengths.
After he has made enough military achievements in this war, you can appoint him as the guardian of the empire, and it will be justified. "
Emperor Reinhard thought for a moment, finally nodded in approval, and then ordered:
"Very good. You immediately send invitation letters to the church and the northern border in my name, asking them to go to the Royal Oak Manor outside Yulong City to discuss a peaceful solution to the murder of the Duke of St. Hilde by Tournance."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
