Chapter 51: Bishop Mirière

After Bishop Mirière waited for the princess and Neo to go away, he immediately gathered the only three monks under his command, and he said loudly: "The Cortesian religion is a sharp weapon of the current emperor to check and balance our Bojiao, and the reason why the Holy Majesty responded to the emperor's call to go to the northern city of Roma to fight against the Deserts is not to submit to the emperor, but to take this opportunity to make our Bojiao's prestige spread again. Although we are in a small corner, we can also make a difference. The city of Birthi is the tree on which we rest, and the country of Destinib is the foundation of the tree. Esoteropathy cannot arise out of thin air, and only by following the local customs can we gain the respect and recognition of others. At a time when the country is going through a serious crisis, we must not stand idly by. ”

The three monks were the only ones who were the head of the bishop and expressed their willingness to work together to tide over the difficulties.

With a look of relief on his face, Mirière continued: "Whether it is the Duchy of Borot or the Cortés, whatever their ultimate goal, there is no doubt that the Kingdom of Destinipe is an important pawn in their way. The current situation forces us to continue to survive only by choosing sides. The strength of these two sides should not be underestimated, Borot raised the strength of the whole country, and the elite soldiers were gathered, and we were powerless to stop it, and although there were only more than 500 people on the Cortex side, and the troops were blocked outside the city by the Duchy of Borot, we must not forget that they were supported by the pseudo-pope and the emperor, and we could not afford to offend. ”

"My lordship, wasn't Borot's son also sent by the Emperor himself to suppress the Kentan rebels, and what difference is this from the Kotés?" asked one of the monks, puzzled.

Mirière shook his head and explained, "This emperor is extremely powerful, and he is not as idle and empty of a title as his predecessors. As soon as he took office, he strongly advocated centralization, and both the electors and the Grand Duchy were very jealous of him. The Duchy of Borot has a superior geographical location, developed commerce and trade, and a rich people, and has long been a thorn in the side of the emperor. He sent His Royal Highness Albert of Borot all the way to attack Kentan, ostensibly to trust him, but in fact he threw stones to ask for directions, so that he could act in the future. ”

"Doesn't this prince of the Duchy of Borot know?"

"I can't judge this just yet. As for the Kotai sect, the situation is very different. They are an important chess piece in the hands of the emperor that can be controlled, which can not only balance our Bojiao, but also not make any big waves. Their pseudo-pope lives outside the imperial city, although the entire empire has a red scarf and red robe, but most of them are not in the climate, they are not deep-rooted, their ideas are not solid, and they cannot intervene in the secular zhengzhi struggle, so the emperor's trust in them is currently greater than that of Borot. ”

"And what is the Bishop going to do?"

"Since we are not strong enough to set up another door, the top priority now is to find our place in these two camps. Stay here, and do not act rashly whatever happens, for I will personally go to meet His Highness Albert and then counsel. ”

"The Bishop's heart is actually still on Borot's side. ”

"I don't deny that. Unless His Highness is too unbearable, it will be difficult to cooperate with the Cortesians. ”

"What if you have to do it?"

Mirière did not answer directly, and after a few words of instruction, he hurried out of the church and hurried to the temporary residence of the Imperial Expeditionary Force near the palace of the Count of Destini.

He had already made a choice in his heart, although the emperor was biased towards the Kotés religion, but at the moment after all, he had not turned against the Duchy of Borot, and the biggest task at present was to protect the country of Destinibe, and to complete this task, the first choice must be His Royal Highness Albert, who had hoarded heavy troops here.

He was received by Talen Crawford, and Bishop Mirière asked if he could meet His Highness in person.

Tarun smiled and said, "My lord, please sit down for a while, Your Highness is washing up, and I will come to see you soon." ”

Mirière waited for a moment, and seeing that Tarun was extremely attentive, he asked quietly, "I have heard that your country's raid on Mandunkou did not have the desired effect. ”

Tarun was caught off guard and chuckled in his heart, but fortunately, the announcement of the arrival of His Royal Highness Albert rang out at this time, so he disguised his panic very old-fashionedly, and introduced: "Your Highness, this is Bishop Mirière. ”

Albert's face was visibly full of tiredness and worry, which was recognizable to anyone at a glance. The so-called washing just now is actually a disguise, after all, I haven't slept all night, and the raid at the mouth of the reckless dun has gone wrong, and whoever it puts on it is a heavy burden.

Of course, Mirière also noticed this situation, he first said a few polite words, and then changed the conversation, and slowly cut to the point: "Your Highness, do you know Lord Neo of the Cortése Sect?"

Albert nodded, "He was sent by Pisius to support us." Why do you ask him, Bishop?"

Mirière glanced at him, meaning to let His Highness retreat, but Albert shook his head and said with a slight smile on his face: "I am surrounded by my own family, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Your Highness, this matter is not trivial, although it is not difficult to say, but if you don't believe me, I will be in a very embarrassing situation. ”

Albert looked at Talen Crawford, took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and said, "If what you say is good, then I will definitely reward you, and if you say something bad, then I will also make a difference after thinking about it fully, and I will definitely not blame you." ”

"Your Highness. Mirière paused, and took a sip of tea, "What kind of man do you think Count d'Stigny is?"

"Truth or falsehood?"

"If you can, please tell us truthfully!"

"This Earl is very weak in body and mind, and if the Kentan Kingdom decides to attack, the city of Bilti will be in danger of being exhausted in an instant. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your honesty, and let me tell you the truth, Neo of Cortés is trying to stumble you, and he is taking advantage of the Count's stupidity to take control of the city of Birty. ”

"Lord Bishop, the more than 500 men brought by Neo have been blocked out of the city by me, what is he capable of standing alone against us?" spoke Tallen Crawford.

"Indeed, the military advisor has been on guard for a long time, and the bishop should not worry too much. Albert thought it was something special, but when he heard the word Neo, the knots in his heart suddenly flattened.

"Your Highness, General!" said Mirière, knowing the reason for their disdain, "Neo, who now has the trust of the Count, is ready to take Princess Claudia out of the city, and as long as the princess is in his hands, the Count will no longer be able to cooperate with you, although it will be easy for Borot's army to set foot on this city, but if this is the case, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold here!"

"The princess is in Neo's hands?" Albert was taken aback. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and it was shattered.

Mirière did not expect Borot's son's reaction to be so strong, and he looked at Xiao Ah with a little puzzlement.

Tarun replied, "Your Excellency, please continue. ”

"Early this morning, the princess came to my church for worship, and Neo came after him, saying that the Count had told him to take her out of town. I could not disobey the Count's will, so I did not hinder it......"

"You didn't stop me, but you came to me to make a small report?" Albert was a little angry, how could this old monk be so pedantic, saying ten thousand times is not worth doing it again.

"Your Highness, I am a man who is on the verge of death, unarmed and not skilled in magic, if I turn my face with him, in case I hurt the princess, the consequences will be serious. ”

When Albert heard this, he immediately felt a little remorseful, and he comforted Miri's lamentation: "My lord, what you said is very right, I am too impulsive. Where are they now?"

"The princess said she was going to meet the Count and ask why, I don't think Neo would have been in such a hurry......"

"In that case, then let's go to the Earl's Court now, and make sure to take down this two-faced Cortés!" Albert hated.

"Your Highness, the city of Birti is surrounded by your Borot army, and it is difficult for Neota to fly with his wings. We must not be too reckless when we go to the Earl's Court, and if we hurt the Earl or the Princess, we will be speechless. ”

"Of course, of course. Albert nodded repeatedly, the Count was not his consideration, his only concern was Princess Claudia.

"As long as Your Highness believes in the fact of Neo's rebellion, then the purpose of my trip has been achieved. Mirière breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and Henry Crawford shouted loudly all the way: "Your Highness, General Kagun, he has woken up, do you want to go and see him!"

Albert forgot all about Bishop Mirière and rushed out, leaving only Talen Crawford to clean up the aftermath.

Taron couldn't help but feel embarrassed on his face, and complained to Mirière: "Your Excellency, I am very considerate of our Highness, he is young and vigorous, and he values brotherhood very much, and that General Kaigan once had a life-and-death relationship with him, so he acted like this. ”

Miriai smiled and said, "Your Highness is a man of great affection and righteousness, how can I blame him?

Tarun smiled slightly, but did not answer, and then whispered close to Mirière's ear: "Your Highness seems to be attracted to Princess Claudia. ”

This sudden news made Demirière overjoyed, and in this way, the matter of choosing a side could be completely settled. He didn't show much joy on the surface, but kept reminding Talen Crawford to rush to the Earl's Mansion as soon as possible to find out Neo's reality. Tarun agreed, but in fact, he had to look at the situation on Kagun's side to make a decision.
