"Father, it's been a long time since you've been to the Cathedral of Light." Although Anduin was cautious, he couldn't help but say with joy in his heart: "Everyone will be very happy to see you appear today!" ”

Varian smiled, and reached out to straighten the collar of his gown, a little unaccustomed. "I'm so happy to see you so happy."

Because it was rare for his father to show his affinity for the Holy Light Church, he knew that his father actually didn't like Andu here, so he carefully chatted with his father for fear that his father would find it boring, lest he say something wrong and make his father unhappy.

Varian hadn't seen his son be so obedient to him for a long time. Although he understood Anduin's careful thoughts, he also really enjoyed this rare time between father and son without disputes. Therefore, under the tacit and deliberate maintenance of the two people, the atmosphere is particularly harmonious and warm.

"Your Majesty looks in a good mood?"

Benedictas, as the owner, has already come out.

"yes, I feel a rare peace of mind here, maybe I should come a few more times?" Varian smiled and stroked Anduin's hair, replying in a doting tone.

"The Light gives peace to the soul." Benedictas bowed slightly. "Just like the peace you have brought to the people, my king."

This parable pleased the Wa King.

"I am king to pacify my people - this is the duty and duty of the king." Varian patted Anduin on the shoulder. "Anduin, you should keep that in mind as well."

Anduin nodded. "Yes, father."

Benedictas looked at Anduin with a smile. "Our Prince Anduin will surely be a wonderful King of Urion in the future."

Varian smiled. Changed the subject. "When will the speech start?"

"There's still an hour and a half to go—you're coming a little sooner, Your Majesty, than I thought. I've got a lounge for you, do you want to go to the lounge for a while or just hang out. ”

Varian looked at the church staff who were constantly coming and going around him and laughed:

"Break room, so as not to get in the way of you."

"Okay." Benedictas sent father and son to the innermost lounge of the church. Only then did he leave: "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon. For your arrival, I have to personally preside over some of the business - this is an extremely important day for me. I'll send someone to ask for you later. ”

Varian nodded in response, "Please, Archbishop." I'll be here until then, waiting for your notification. ”

Benedict Tuston paused, seemingly hesitant. But he asked, "Excuse me, eh...... Your Majesty, what about Berval? I really didn't expect him to be absent today. Did His Majesty assign him some task? ”

This question made Varian look sideways. He said casually, "He took a leave of absence from me." ”

"Leave? That's a rarity......" said Benedictas meaningfully.

Varian couldn't seem to make out the sound of his words. Smiled and replied, "Occasionally my dear Grand Duke will want to enjoy some private time, don't you say?" Archbishop. ”

"Well...... Benedictas smiled, but Varian could easily tell the archbishop's displeasure. This kid is really ...... Oh. I won't bother you two with your precious time. ”

With that, Benedictas stepped back, leaving space for the father and son.

After Benedictas left, Anduin couldn't wait to ask his father. "Father. The archbishop doesn't seem to know about Uncle Bowval's engagement yet? ”

"Of course he does." Varian spat out an answer that Anduin said he couldn't understand at all. "How could he not know?"

"Know?" Anduin was a little puzzled. "Then he's not angry?"

Varian smiled. "Angry! Of course he was angry. But Anduin. The archbishop is an old fox. Why should he be angry when he thinks that anger will not solve the problem? ”

Anduin pursed his lips in confusion, feeling that he didn't understand what his father meant.

Varian patiently gave his son a political lesson. "Yesterday Bowwal was a public proposal. You don't think that among those present, the archbishop doesn't even have an eye or ear. ”

Anduin was silent. Even if he was naïve, he knew that in a position like the archbishop, even if he didn't take the initiative to ask, there were many people rushing to tell him first-hand news.

Thinking about Bowall's identity, he was a little worried.

"Uncle Bolwal...... If you really marry that woman, you will not be allowed by the Holy Light Church, right? ”

Varian did not answer his question. He looked at his kind son. I was hesitant to tell him what I was going to say. But the expectation of the prince overwhelmed his fatherly heart.

"Anduin, if Berval really marries the Dead Rider. Will you give up on him? ”

"No, of course not. Father, you know, no matter what happens, I'm on Uncle Berval's side. As long as my uncle feels happy, I will only bless him if he wants to marry him. ”

The corners of Varian's mouth twitched slightly, but before Anduin could make out his smile, he had already opened his mouth to attract Anduin's attention. "It's good to be able to fully trust someone, although there are definitely not many people who are worthy of you to do it."

Anduin raised his eyebrows, looking happy to get his father's approval. But the thought of the predicament that his beloved Uncle Boval was about to face, Anduin frowned worriedly.

"However, on the side of the church, I don't think the archbishop can accept such a thing without any guilt."

"Of course not." Varian's answer made Anduin's face bitter a little. The Church will never tolerate such a thing. Removing the membership is a certain thing, and if you don't do it, you will deprive Boval of the power of the Holy Light. ”

"What?!" Anduin almost jumped. "How can this work? Absolutely not! ”

Varian was indifferent. "No matter how excited you are, Anduin. You don't have the right to meddle in the affairs of the church. ”

"But...... Father, if such a thing really happened to Uncle Bolwal, I ...... I can't afford to sit idly by! ”

"You should calm down, Anduin. There are two sides to everything - maybe it's bad for Bowval, but not necessarily for us. ”

"What? I don't understand what you mean, father. ”

Varian somewhat evaded his son's innocent gaze, for he knew how much of an impact his words would have on the innocent child.

"If Berval breaks with the Church completely, then the influence of the Church in the upper nobility and the army will be greatly affected. It would have been cruel to Berval, but it was a wonderful thing for the royal family, us. In the time of my absence, the power of the Church had spread too much. This is very bad for the royal power. ”

Anduin looked at his father in disbelief, unable to understand how he had said such a cold statement so calmly. (To be continued.) )
