107. Miscellaneous
"It would be nice to be able to embody a secret horror......"
Bonnivale's thoughts pulled away.
But he soon came back to his senses.
For the three heirs of the king below have already completed their prayers and are waiting for her coronation.
Feeling the Pope's gaze, the three heirs bowed their heads and said in unison: "Please grant the Pope the crown, and we will always honor the mystical doctrine and remember the great duty of the king." ”
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
Bonnyville stood up, papal scepter in hand, and walked slowly down the steps, the echo of his boots stepping on the steps echoing through the empty and magnificent Holy See.
invisibly exerted a layer of psychological pressure on the three heirs again.
Because the Pope can consider it comprehensively and decide not to let them inherit the throne.
Everyone knows that the female pope is not from a high background, and everything she has is won by herself step by step.
In the end, he was chosen by the Secret Horror Ancestral God and became the supreme existence of the Azure Continent.
It is precisely because of the journey from the micro end that Bonnyville has seen the squalor of both the bottom and the top, but he has always adhered to the belief in justice.
Only the heirs who can bear the crown of the king and truly work for the welfare of the people and the church will be appreciated by her.
Once, there were cases of female popes refusing to coronate someone, and at the coronation ceremony, they counted several counts of the unlucky guy and drove him back.
Naturally, there is no good result for those who are abandoned by the church.
In order to show favor to Bonnyville, the royal family of that kingdom directly banned the unlucky man's inheritance qualifications, and denounced his pickling methods of concealing and not reporting in private, and took back the royal surname that represented honor, and was exiled to the borderlands.
After re-electing an heir to the church who was both virtuous and moral, usually unpopular but righteous, he was crowned by the Pope, putting an end to the scandalous farce.
The three at the bottom of the stairs are all the most qualified and talented princes elected by the royal family of their own kingdom.
Although they openly abide by the purpose of the church, seek the welfare of the people and contribute to the country, they almost unconditionally turn to the church.
But only they know that they can get here step by step, no matter how clean they are, they are still carrying some sins in private.
It's just that some sins are hidden deeply, and the church doesn't necessarily know about them.
Some sins, as long as they do not touch the bottom line, the female pope will also forgive them, and they will not be blamed in the past, as long as they do righteous things and respect good virtues after taking office.
But no one has the bottom in their hearts, they don't know the Pope's judging criteria, and they don't know how much of the evil they have concealed has been known to the church.
Bonnyville walked up to the three princes.
Boom!
Gently tap the scepter on the ground.
The dull sound seemed to knock on the hearts of the three princes, making their heads lower and deeper.
On the side of the Holy See, three ecclesiastical ministers carried a black tray covered with brocade, on which were placed three crowns of different styles and magnificently and shiningly.
Bonnyville stood in front of the first prince and said, "Coubert." ”
"Yes." The prince replied.
Bonneville looked down at him and said, "I see that the road you have come here is full of thorns, and you have been tainted with iniquity, but I understand that it is not of your own free will, but only the only way to become a king, and in your kingdom, the common people love you, the believers respect you, and the royal family admires you."
You are entitled to wear the crown and feel its weight, which is something you have guarded all your life.
Remember the grace of God, but do not forget that it was given to you by your people, and that I am only their spokesperson.
If one day you rebel against your people and fall into darkness, I will take back what you have defiled on behalf of the gods and let you know that it is a great mistake to stand in opposition to your people. ”
Colbert raised his head slightly, and said solemnly: "I will keep my oath, clear the obstacles, embrace justice, and embrace the gods." ”
Bonnyville nodded slightly, picked up the crown from the tray, and placed the heavy crown on Cobbert's head in the midst of his excitement.
"Thank you Bonnyvale, thank you to God."
As he spoke, Colbert grabbed his chest with his left hand and raised his right hand slightly.
Bonneville placed his right hand on top of his palm, but did not touch it directly.
Naturally, Colbert didn't dare to go beyond the distance, and only held the pinch, but never really touched the Pope's palm.
He lowered his head and kissed the ring on the pope's ring finger affectionately.
With a light touch, he immediately took it back, not daring to blaspheme in the slightest.
Bonnyville withdrew his palm and smiled, "I see curiosity in your eyes, what are you thinking?" ”
Colbert suddenly stiffened and said, "I crossed the line, just curious about your imperial ring." ”
Bonneville raised his hand slightly, looked at his papal ring inlaid with black gemstones, and said with a smile: "Honesty is a good boy, I will not punish anyone who embraces justice and gods, since you want to know, then tell you, I have already married gods in this life, and it will not be what you think." ”
Colbert's heart was relieved, and this answer was also reasonable, and he bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Pope, for solving your doubts." ”
Bonnyvale nodded, and walked past him to the second prince.
In the same ceremony, in the same process, Bonnivale placed the second tiara on his head, wiped the black stone from the ring, and accepted his kiss.
Slowly approaching the third prince, Bonnivel handed the handkerchief with the ring to the attendant beside him.
Long.
Bonnyvale didn't speak, just stared at the heir to the kingdom in front of him.
The other two princes, who had already been crowned, had somewhat guessed something.
Even they had vaguely heard of the scandals of the heir of the kingdom, though they were nothing and should be within the bounds of Bonnyville's forgiveness.
However, the Holy See must know more than they do.
Even this prince, in addition to those small scandals, flaunted his righteous image all the time, and indeed issued many decrees for the benefit of the people, and won the praise and respect of many people.
He also wholeheartedly cooperated with the affairs of the church.
But it is still difficult to hide that bit of artificiality.
So, will the Pope refuse to coronate him?
It seemed that he felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, and the third prince Denaren was not good.
Sure enough, although he tried his best to cover up his evil deeds, was he still discovered by the church's censorship team?
Thinking of what happened to the last unlucky guy who was rejected to be crowned and rushed back to the royal city, Denaren's calm expression actually set off a stormy wave and panicked to the extreme.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and made an absurd move that could have buried him.
But if he is exiled, deprived of everything he has now, and even the royal family name is withdrawn, it will be more painful than letting him die!
Denaren fell deep on the ground, the tip of his nose swept over Bonnivale's long skirt, and kissed the Pope's boots.
Now he could no longer hide the fear in his heart, and begged as if he had burst a: "I have sinned so much that I have played with the people who trust me, and I have failed my honor as the first heir, but I am willing to face the eyes of the gods, and swear that I have never turned my back on the gods!"
From now on, I am willing to saddle up for the Pope, take the lead, and die!
I would like to give everything, including the inheritance of the kingdom, in accordance with all the will of the Pope!
Even if it is to let someone other than the royal family become the reserve king, it will not hesitate!
Please forgive my sins and accept my loyalty, Bonneville, who represents the gods! ”
As soon as this remark came out.
The atmosphere instantly fell to a freezing point.
The two princes who bowed their heads, no, now the new king, also had a gloomy face.
Denaren, what does he want to do?
For the sake of ambition, don't you even want the last dignity of the prince?
In fact, the royal families of the major kingdoms have long been aware of Bonnyville's purpose.
That is to reduce the rights of the nobility and the royal family, so that ordinary commoners and low-level believers can enjoy fair treatment!
This is a boiled frog in warm water.
It is also to shake the foundation of the royal family.
If it is really like the Kingdom of Gauntis, the tax of the commoners has been reduced to less than half of the tax, and it also has the right to petition the church and apply for the trial of the high-ranking nobles.
Then what are they still mixed with the royal family?
It's just that because of Bonnyville's identity and power, the royals of the major kingdoms have no reason to unite and confront the Holy See head-on.
But in private, they are already working hard, trying to cultivate a large number of high-level seeers and win the hearts of the people, so that they can put pressure on the church and maintain their hereditary rule.
The struggle between the kingdoms and the church, without waves, is actually turbulent in the shadows, and it will take generations of operation to see the final result.
And Denaren, this bastard, bastard, shameless!
As the supreme heir of a great power, he turned his back on the kingdom's tacit alliance.
In order to gain forgiveness, maintain one's position, continue to enjoy one's privileges, and even be willing to give the honor of future generations, and even the benefit of the kingdom as a whole!
He didn't know what kind of devastating blow it would bring to the Kingdom Alliance if he did so?
Chop Pieces!
