"Your Excellency, there is a rule in the doctrine that believers are not allowed to drink alcohol. ”

Beverly said with some trepidation as Raphael poured a crystal clear tawny liquid into his goblet, and he even wondered if Raphael was testing the purity of his faith in this way.

"Your Excellency, Marquis, you have a wrong understanding of the doctrine, God has taught us not to drink alcohol, not to drink. ”

Raphael poured himself another half glass of wine, tasted it lightly, and then said with an indifferent look:

"This is the rum sent by Gerald, the agent of the Hepburn family in the ancient city of Aogu, which is not easy to drink in the south, you can taste it. ”

It seems that I still have a lot of doctrinal understanding, and I will have to come back to ask him often in the future. ”

Beverly raised his glass.

"If this is done, we will be a family from now on. Happy working together, cheers!"

Raphael also raised his glass.

"It was originally the work of dogs and horses for the Lord!"

"Haha!"

With a glass of wine, the two of them burst into laughter almost at the same time.

The two men drank and discussed the details of the plan, and it was not until noon that Beverly said goodbye to Raphael, and when he came out, his fair face flushed a little, and it was not known whether it was because of the stimulation of alcohol or the excitement of his mood.

Beverly went directly to the palace, and when he heard that it was Beverly who asked to see him, Boothman Roland was a little surprised, because after Beverly was taken from the position of military minister more than a year ago, he had a big opinion of himself, and he had never taken the initiative to come to the door to ask to see him, and he didn't know what kind of wind was blowing today. However, Busman Rolland still met him immediately, although Beverly was less capable and his position was not very firm, but he was also a famous family, and it was also an important duty of the emperor to encircle this kind of person.

At first, Boothman Rolland thought that Beverly must have come to seek power and profit, and he was ready to give Beverly some benefits, but when Beverly said what Raphael had taught him, the emperor was shocked.

Suddenly suggesting that Higg's assertiveness be expressed to the Holy See is not Beverly's style! Could it be that within a year of his dismissal, he learned from the pain and suddenly realized the reason for his cold reception?

Although Beverley's behavior was somewhat abnormal, Boothman Rolland did not have the slightest suspicion of Beverly, but rather admired Beverly a little, because Beverley's suggestion to let him attend Gracis's funeral in person was in line with his ambitious and happy personality.

The results of the one-sided war showed that Tis Hepburn was not invincible, and the Knights Templar was not invincible, which made the minds of some officials and nobles in the Higg Empire who were dissatisfied with the Holy See alive again, and with their lobbying and support, Boothman Rolland also began to sit still, especially after General Ford exterminated the Bolsma bandits, Boothman Rolland's confidence began to swell, and he naively thought that he had killed the enemies that the Holy See had tried so hard to destroy, and perhaps it was time for him and the Holy See to break their hands again. Now, if he could use the funeral of Gracis to further express his attitude and win over a wavering group of nobles, perhaps Higg's power would soon be concentrated in his own hands. So he nodded his head almost without any hesitation, and in his pleasure, he left Beverly to drink a few glasses of wine with him before letting go.

In the afternoon of the same day, the order of Emperor Higg to personally attend the burial ceremony of Gracis's body was sent to the military headquarters, and the military headquarters that received the holy decree immediately jumped into a flurry, although the military minister Blatter had already decided to attend the ceremony, but the invitation to His Majesty the Emperor was not in the plan. For an imperial general who has been dead for more than six years, the military department has come forward with enough respect that there is no need for the emperor to attend in person. But this young emperor, who has always been accustomed to making his own decisions, did just that, and the military department could only act according to orders, but there were some problems in the safety of the emperor's travels. Since the time of Gracis's burial has been determined, just one day later, it cannot be temporarily adjusted just because the emperor is going to attend, which will be the greatest disrespect to Gracis. At this time, the Guards Corps guarding the imperial capital was engaged in exercises, so the number of troops to protect the emperor's travel safety was a little insufficient, and it was too late to temporarily transfer, but fortunately, Beverley, who had been doing nothing in the position of deputy minister at this time, came up with an idea, and the recruits who were training in the north of Triumph City could take on this responsibility, and Gracis's cemetery was just north of Triumph City, so it was simply appropriate to transfer new recruits over.

Helplessly, the military department could only accept Beverly's suggestion, and the order to transfer the army was urgently sent to the camp where the recruits were trained, and handed over to Clark, who patted his chest in front of the herald to ensure that his recruit training was effective, and that Emperor Higg would not lose a single hair under his protection.

The next day, Boothman Rolland and a group of officials, including the military chiefs, left Triumph City under the protection of the Guards, and then were escorted by the new army who had been waiting outside the city to the Graces family's manor, where they met Grace's family and held a grand farewell ceremony for Grace's body, and finally Boothman Rolland made a scendiary speech in front of all the nobles and officials attending the ceremony.

In short, everything went very smoothly, but just as Boothman Rolland was about to drive back to the palace surrounded by officials, an unexpected guest broke through the camp of the outside guards and appeared in the Greysman Manor, and stopped Boothman Rolland's honor guard.

"Raphael!"

Although the winter in Triumph City is very cold, Busman Rolland is in an open-top carriage in order to express himself, so when the guests appear, he recognizes the identity of the other party at a glance and exclaims.

Gracius died on the battlefield of resisting the invasion of the Holy See, and it is said that the people of the Holy See should never appear at this moment, but Raphael, as the representative of the Holy See in Higg, just appeared, so his purpose is almost self-evident.

"Cardinal Raphael of the Holy See of Light has seen His Majesty Higg XIII. ”

Raphael did not ride in his usual luxury carriage today, but rode a horse, at this time he sat upright on the back of the horse, bowed to Boothman Rolland, and saluted Boothman Rolland with the most standardized salutation, when he spoke, his facial muscles were tense and there was no expression except for the buzzing of his lips, but his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.

"Your Excellency, is there any urgency to come to see me at this time?"

Seeing Raphael's grim appearance, Busman Rolland, who was sitting on the seat of the carriage covered with mink, felt a strange pleasure in his heart, this was the first time since the Bauhinia War that he had faced the people of the Holy See with such confidence. But he didn't know that this was the last time!
