Chapter 392: Archbishop Bailinsin
William was led by his servants into the palace from the rooms arranged in the north, and the interior of the palace was quite luxurious, and many noble decorations were placed on the walls, and at intervals in the long cloister there was a place to visit the vase, and above the cloister there was also an oil lamp burning with fragrant oil at intervals.
On the wall, there are all kinds of oil paintings, some praising heroic deeds, some painting the legends of the Holy Religion, and more of them are the heroes of the royal family of the Astra Kingdom and the previous kings.
The huge royal palace was very spacious, and on the cloister you could see a number of maids and male servants dressed in uniform services, holding various things in their hands, and doing things for the people they asked to serve.
In the grand and palatial cloister of the royal palace, William followed his servants to King Leonac's office and study.
He had just been received in the hall with King Herchard and a series of nobles above the viscount level of the Kingdom of Tskma.
After that, King Leonac specially invited William to his office, and it was obvious that his interest and importance in William was far greater than that of the royal family and the king of the Tskema Kingdom, which were now underpowered.
Now for William, the Tzkma royal family no longer needs to be taken care of by him, and if it weren't for the sake of maintaining his loyalty and prestige, he could even destroy the Renoan family.
When he arrived at the door of the study, the servant walked to the door, knocked on the door and walked in, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Earl William you want to see has arrived!" ”
"Alright, you let him in!"
King Leonac looked at the other man next to him, and then said to the servant.
After saying that, the servant walked out of the study and said to William, "Dear Lord Count William, His Majesty King Leonac has called you in!" ”
William walked into the room, and the servant bowed and bowed, and then walked out of the room.
"Haha, Count William, I've been famous for you for a long time, and I finally met you this time, I didn't expect you to be so young!"
King Leonac said with a smile, William is indeed the youngest among these rulers, just like King Leonac, he is already forty-four years old this year, and this is still relatively young among the kings of a country, compared to the thirty-three-year-old William is still relatively young.
"Thanks to Your Majesty Liao Zan, I have heard of His Majesty's prestige for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been able to see it, and today I finally eliminated a regret!"
With a humble smile on his face, William complimented King Leonarque.
King Leonac laughed, the wrinkles on his face that began to darken became even thicker, obviously, he was very useful for William's compliment, he pointed to the person next to him who was smiling and did not say a word, and said: "Introduction, this is the Grand Duke of the Principality of Larnia, Ravage, and also my own cousin, you have also cooperated a lot before!" ”
When William heard this, he understood the identity of the other party, after all, the Duchy of Larnia also had a lot of trade exchanges with himself, and every time he traveled to and from the Duchy of Maineke, he also relied on their navy.
He nodded, with an expression of admiration in his eyes, and said with honor: "It turned out to be the Grand Duke of Rawac, it is a great honor to meet you, it is really a very pleasant thing to trade with you, I hope to continue all kinds of trade with the Kingdom of Astra and the Principality of Larnia in the future!" ”
After another exchange of pleasantries, King Leonac pointed to another man who was wearing a white and gold cross monk's robe, which was different from the ordinary monk's robe, and the decoration and specifications on it were far beyond that.
Obviously, this is the clothes worn by a high-ranking monk, but it is also normal, if it is a low-ranking monk, how can it be worn in the king's study?
"This is Archbishop Bailinsin, the bishop of the Diocese of the Kingdom of Astra who was appointed by the Pope, and the one who commanded the coalition forces with the Kingdom of Astra this time!"
When William heard this, sure enough, this was not an ordinary monk, such an identity was indeed unusual, it was the representative of the church in the kingdom of Astra, responsible for commanding the coalition army with King Leonac!
William nodded after hearing this, he had also heard of the name of this archbishop, and he was also more concerned about the affairs of the church, so he also knew more about this Archbishop of Bailinsin.
Due to the advanced age of the current Pope Uben II, the election of the successor of the next pope has become a priority, and among those archbishops, there will naturally be a successor to the pope, and this Archbishop of Bairingsin is one of the very competitive ones.
Although he is no longer a big thick leg that William can't afford to offend, William doesn't want to offend too much.
Therefore, William looked at him with kindness in his eyes, and then said with a little humility: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the Archbishop, I am still famous for you, and it is said that you are already a strong contender for the next Pope, I must congratulate you in advance, because I think the position of the Pope belongs to you!" ”
After listening to William's compliments, Bilins was more happy because of the archbishop, and William is now in the eyes of the church, he is already a pro-church faction, therefore, the attitude of the Archbishop of Bailinsin towards William is also very good, he said: "Thank you for your good words, as the most pious people of the Holy Father, the most faithful friend of the servants of the Holy Father, Count William, your rule in Denlenburg and Issamdenburg will be blessed by the Holy Father for a long time, and your family will prosper because of it!" ”
In this way, King Leonac introduced all the two to William, and the atmosphere in the stadium was also happy and harmonious.
"Count William, thank you very much for responding to the Holy War at such a speed and coming here to help us in the fight!"
King Leonark's William said: "In ten days, all the forces involved in the holy war will be gathered, and then we will officially want the Norvids to attack!" ”
"So, I hope you can follow the main force of the kingdom and join us in striking at the enemy's regular forces and large-scale enemies!" King Leonac said and looked at Archbishop Bailinsin next to him, and then said, "This is also what the archbishop means!" ”
After hearing this, William nodded, smiled and said, "Okay Your Majesty, I will do this!" ”
Seeing that William agreed without hesitation, King Leonac was very satisfied, and said, "When the war is over, I hope that we can expand the scale of trade, the amount of trade between us is still too small, and we will be very complementary!" ”
William nodded in agreement, and then, with King Leonac's permission, got up and exited the richly decorated and opulent-looking King's Study.
