Chapter 311: The Imperial Capital
The emergence of the "royal party" was long before the church released this news, and these so-called royal parties were actually people who supported Lilian under the banner of supporting Lilian. Among them are politicians, representatives of the military, and even a part of the population. It is not surprising that in the aftermath of that bloody Square crackdown, there was a great deal of dissatisfaction with the Council of Light. Naturally, the Church blamed Casablanca for such a thing, while the lords of the principalities outside were sneering, and within the Parliament, some opposition leaders took advantage of this to once again put pressure on the Parliament. Not only that, but the military is also very dissatisfied with this, they think that the Council of Light has gone too far this time, and the military has sent people to the Council of Light to protest several times in a row. Coupled with the mercenary association, the alchemist association, the royal mage association, the Tour of France Tower, and many others who were watching the soy sauce on the side, the Council of Light said that they were under a lot of pressure right now.
Politics is sometimes like two children arguing, one pointing at the other and shouting, "I'm not playing with you anymore!" I'm going to play with someone else! And now, in the context of the dissatisfaction of the people with the Council of Light, a new political faction has quietly emerged, and that is the Royal Party.
Under the banner of supporting Lillian, they oppose the arbitrariness of the Council of Light, and believe that Lillian should be allowed to regain her own power. Of course, they weren't stupid enough to just dissolve the council and let Lillian take sole power or anything. Rather, it goes back in time and justifiably demands that the Council of Light no longer hold power, but return to its place where the decision should have been made. Of course, Rod knows very well that these guys are not just for faith like Lydia, but more similar to Cao Cao's desire to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and they have made their own political demands with the help of supporting Lilian's brand, and I have to admit that this group of people is still very smart. Because Lilian doesn't really take care of things on weekdays, if it weren't for the fact that this veteran incident was too big, she wouldn't have come forward in person.
However, those politicians with a heart see what they want.
Lillian is a pure-hearted ruler, and she may be smart, but she's not keen on power. It's like after dealing with the veteran incident this time. She still has to do something, and she has no intention of using the topic to play at all. If she is really greedy for power, then she can take this opportunity to directly wipe out all the members of the Council of Light, and then install her own cronies. But she didn't do that, and left it up to the Council of Light to take care of and clean things up, suggesting that she wasn't keen on it. This is a good thing, because then the actual power will fall into the hands of her subordinates. Secondly, Lillian is now in the realm of light because of the Council of Light. If you can help this majesty return to the real "throne", then your own people will definitely get great benefits. The so-called icing on the cake is not eye-catching, but sending charcoal in the snow is the salvation of people. At that time, their own power and position will also become even stronger.
Ultimately, and most importantly, Lillian is not an empty shelf, but a real one who wields force. Her strength does not come from the local legions, but from her own clan——— War Angels. Although the Council of Light once tried its best to exaggerate the "angel threat theory" of the war angels. But it is undeniable that no one wants to fight the Legion of War Angels. That night, in the face of less than a hundred war angels, the thousands of city guards couldn't even raise the idea of resisting, which shows how powerful the war angels really are. It may be difficult to ride a thousand, but it is definitely not a problem to fight a hundred.
Lack of desire to rule. The ruler who is simple-minded and naïve, who has lost real power, and has a force in his hand that is strong enough to resist the Council of Light, such a good fat sheep in front of him, it is normal for someone to want to fight her. If you fail, you can also use the power of the war angel in Lilian's hands to avoid the disaster of killing. No matter what the point of view. It's all good and harmless.
The Council of Light was already in turmoil over the previous incident, and in the face of the demand for his immediate resignation and apology, Nackfan firmly opposed it, and declared that he would continue to serve until the next election. The opposition, led by Green, insisted on Nackfande's immediate resignation, and even prepared to launch a march to forcibly force the palace, and threatened to activate the upper and lower houses to re-examine the legitimacy of Nackfande's election if necessary. The Council of Light was already in shambles, and now there was a royal party waving their flags and shouting to take back the legal rights that belonged to Lillian, which made them even more upset.
And at this very time, the announcement of the Church was undoubtedly equivalent to dropping an atomic bomb on Casablanca.
According to them, only those who believe in and revere the protection of the dragon soul and the inheritors of the dragon soul are eligible for resurrection, and if that is the case, then the impact on the Council of Light is not insignificant. Although this is only limited to accidental death, and there is no way to do things like old death, who doesn't have an accident in their life? And judging from the information obtained by the Council of Light, it is clear that the military department is most concerned about this. This is the last thing they want to see, the soldier is the only trump card in their hands, but if they are also willing to believe in the dragon soul of light, then ......... What is the Council of Light?
“………………… It's really annoying. ”
Looking at the gilded invitation in her hand, Sonia frowned and whispered to herself, then she reached out and threw the invitation stamped with the seal of the Kulai family into the fire. Since the establishment of the royal party, Sonia has been receiving invitations from all sides, including from the aristocracy, from the consortium, and even from the military. Although the wording was very polite, of course Sonia understood what they were thinking, these people were probably all members of the royal party, and now, all they had to do was to win themselves in. After all, she is one of the closest people to Lilian's side, and now she can almost be said to be Lilian's mouthpiece to the outside world. If you can win yourself over and use your own relationship to get in touch with Lilian's majesty, then the next thing will be logical.
Especially after the church announced the news, these invitations became more enthusiastic and eager, and even his own father once hinted that he would look for "another way out" if he could. Considering that his family had supported Nakvand in the first place, and now that the council elder was crumbling, it was not surprising that the family was looking for new patrons and collaborators. Obviously, judging from the current situation, his father intends to use his advantage to "first come, first served".
Sonia herself didn't have much thought about what she should do next, she planned to wait and see for a while, unlike those outsiders, Sonya, who was by Lilian's side all day, knew the Dragon of Light better than anyone else. She's just innocent, but she's not stupid, and Lillian is far more mature than many people think. She knew what she was doing, and she knew what she was doing for her, as if she had been patiently trying to make herself a puppet because she felt that the Council of Light could handle everything, and she trusted it. But when the Council of Light betrays her trust, then His Majesty will inevitably take action.
Therefore, if he does do something, maybe Lilian will notice it, and at that time, everything he has worked so will be declared over. And for Sonia, the most important thing in her heart at the moment is naturally Rod's task, not these so-called "future", "alliances", "political assets" or something.
Now that there is chaos in the Land of Light, Sonia naturally knows the way and knows where she wants to be. It is true that the Council of Light has done a lot to weaken the authority of the Dragon of Light, but now, just one thing is enough to change everything completely. It can bring people back from the dead, although it does not include natural death, but who dares to say that they will not encounter accidents? Especially those nobles, businessmen, assassination, poisoning and other means are endless. Moreover, there is no cost to believing in the Dragon of Radiance, that is, you do not need to sacrifice half of your wealth to show your loyalty, nor do you need to kill your own child and put it on the altar to ask the gods for forgiveness, you just need to revere and worship the Dragon of Light and believe in her wholeheartedly.
Sonia didn't think it was a deliberate lie from the Church, there was no need for such a thing in the Land of Law, and secondly, it wasn't good for them to preach the Light Dragon Soul itself. So most of them should be true......... And what do you do next? Or rather......... What will Lilian's plans be?
Although Sonia had been waiting for Lilian to make a decision, Lilian seemed to be troubled by this, and she didn't give any answer immediately, but kept thinking about it with a frown. It has been several days since the Church of the Law Country announced this, and in the past few days, the smile that originally hung under His Majesty's body has disappeared.
"Knock knock."
A knock on the door interrupted Sonya's thoughts, and she looked up at the door in front of her.
"Please come in."
"It's rude."
Soon, one of the guards walked through the door and bowed respectfully to Sonya.
"Lord Sonia, there is an urgent matter for the council to discuss, please go to the council chamber immediately."
Not again.
Sonia sighed, then stood up and nodded.
"I know."
Then, she spoke. (To be continued......)
