Chapter 50: Church Meetings (Part II)
As the words fell, he raised his eyes to observe the expressions on the faces of the Northland ministers, and it only took a few moments to see that these people, led by Alice and Scambed, had thought of the historical fact as he had expected.
Yes, the tragedy that took place at the end of the reign of Calvenland the Great would have been absolutely contemplatable to anyone who was familiar with the history of the empire after hearing the hints of the remarks just made by the cardinal priest, he was sure.
Alice clenched the Ice Crystal Orb Staff in her hand and looked directly at him, her left hand under the Blue Flame Robe subconsciously pinched her fingers to relieve the pressure caused by her concentration and quick thinking, and guessed in her heart that Sirudelt was probably going to cut the topic to that matter next.
She guessed right.
The red-clothed priest sank his tone, and sure enough, continued to tell in a sad state: "As we all know, His Majesty the Ancestor and the Northern Princes opened up a civilization belonging to the Holm people in their active era, but when they died one after another at two extremely similar points in time, the power of the new emperor was not enough to subdue the nobles in the north, resulting in a hundred years of civil strife in the north of the empire, and gradually split into a number of small lordships dominated by the four lords of the Northland, Sword Castle, Silver Shield Fort, and Ulan under the long power struggle. ”
"That civil strife lasted too long, nobles and nobles murdered each other, lords and lords fought against each other, and from four hundred years ago, until three hundred years ago, His Majesty Otto II, the lord of the empire, succeeded to the throne, and with the belief in Gazteis, the god of justice, the fact that the Sogo Church was the state church was written into the written code, so that he was able to use the power of the Golden Que Legion and the holy warriors at the same time to quell the turmoil with an iron fist."
"After the end of the hundred years of civil strife, His Majesty Otto II divided the new nobles to govern the northern part of the empire, among which the Northland Earls were given to the von Dowland family, and then the Stoon family officially took over the land because the von Doran family was extinct."
"Priest Macallon, as the current local priest of the Northlands, do you agree with His Majesty Otto II's efforts to quell the turmoil with the power of the Church?"
"Gaztex is on top, I agree." The Priest of Macallon stood on the side of the podium and nodded.
He used the staff of the celebrant to support his hunched waist, and he tried to raise his head to reach the eye level of Sirudelt standing on the podium, and he did not want to agree that His Majesty Otto II, as the lord of the revival of the empire, had used the power of the Sogo Church to quell a hundred years of civil strife.
It was one of the most glorious times of the Church, when the priests were still called bishops, and the high priests were called popes, if it had not been for another event, the "Praetorian Guard" that was notorious in the history of the empire and the history of the church......
Thinking of this, the old priest of McCaron couldn't help but bow his head again, and sighed in the depths of his heart, secretly thinking about the red-clothed priest of Sirudelt, isn't your current action repeating the mistakes of the church? Even if the supporters this time are no longer the Praetorian Guards of the past, but someone else?
What is this-
Sorrowful!
Ay......
Sirudelt looked down at the old priest of McCaron, misinterpreting the latter's bow as obedience, and then hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and then quickly retracted his smile, closed his eyes and sank into the atmosphere, and then opened his eyes and continued to explain: "Then the legitimate rule of the Stoon family over the Northland Earls continues to this day, but due to the recent accidental murder of Sir Kevin, His Majesty Leopold IV has to pay attention to the relevant inheritance laws, especially this one——"
"If a deceased noble lord in the empire has only a female heir, and the female heir has no male heirs, the female heir cannot inherit the title immediately, and the emperor has the right to forcibly withdraw the title of lord of the deceased nobleman, and then transfer the title to another nobleman within three years to make him the new lord."
"Lady Alice Stun, do you agree with this provision under Imperial law, and the fact that His Majesty King Leopold IV can now revoke the title of Earl of Northland under this law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the noble officials on the side of the Northland court suddenly became noisy again, and anyone who heard it knew that the provisions of the law were false, and the desire for power was true.
But how can the lord's heir sister, Lady Alice, refute it?
Everyone turned their eyes to Alice at once, and then saw and heard the little poker-faced mage lady reply, "I agree." ”
"What?!"
The palace officials were in an uproar, and some people even accidentally screamed, saying how could this be?!
That's what she admitted?
Don't you try to exploit the loopholes in the law?
"Silence." Scambed spoke calmly, his thick guttural voice at once silenced the buzzing dissent among the crowd.
This tall old gentleman was respected in the court of the Northlands, and people could not help but be in awe of him, and then he suppressed his resentment and calmed down again, and witnessed the progress of the meeting continue to develop.
Urs stood beside Alice as a guard, and although he was a little surprised by her answer, he was still calm, because even if things went out of control, he still had his hole cards to interfere with everything.
And the hole card that belongs to him is naturally the Ring of the Warbler.
and potentially another—in Koto's hands, the Hearthfire Crown.
The young man took a deep breath, and the brown eyes in the knight's helmet continued to watch through the helmet's peep slit.
Of course, it wasn't just the delegates on the Northland court side who were surprised by Alice's answer.
Sirudelt looked as surprised and surprised as the representatives of the noble officials of the Northland court, and then secretly rejoiced, he was originally mentally prepared to fight a war of words with these dead lords of the Northlands, but he didn't expect Kevin Stun's sister to give up resistance like this?
She's so weak? Could it be that all the rumors about her tough personality are false?
Well...... Then it's okay, but you don't have to work on yourself.
The red-clothed priest's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was bound to win, but unexpectedly, the heir miss, who seemed to him to be weak in her heart, just paused, seemed to adjust her breathing, and then added calmly and calmly:
"But, I refuse—"
"What did you say?" Sirudelt reacted, and immediately stared at her with wide eyes.
"Lord Sirudelt, as the de jure heir to the title of Earl of the Northland and its related territories, I say that I refuse to surrender this title and this land to the thieves." Alice met his gaze and replied coldly to him with the gaze of her own, holding the long handle of the Ice Crystal Orb Staff in her right hand.
