"Framed, why?"

Her Royal Highness the Heavenly Song Holy Maiden asked with a little surprise.

"Because jealousy is the original sin that all human beings are born with!"

Lady Loris sighed and said, "The author of this book was accused of preaching the beliefs of the Old Gods and heresies, and was ordered to be arrested by the big men of the Inquisition in the name of censoring heresy!"

Her Royal Highness the Heavenly Song Holy Maiden suddenly understood the purpose of Lady Loris's visit, and couldn't help but smile, while slightly signaling to the female knight beside her, she leaned forward slightly, made a gesture of listening, and said, "Can you tell me in detail?"

"Of course!"

This was the purpose of Lady Loris's trip, and with a smile in her eyes, she recounted how Karl had been framed and how he had been arrested by order of the Inquisition, and at the end she casually emphasized that neither Archbishop Ludwig nor Bishop Filch knew about it.

"Your Highness, I know that the Red Gloves of the Inquisition are the most loyal night watchmen of the Lord, and their devout faith in the Lord is understandable, and their fanaticism for cleaning up heresy and censoring rebellion. But after all, this is not the dark millennial age of the Inquisition's dominating church faith!"

At the end of the speech, Lady Loris complained a little from the standpoint of nobility: "After all, both the Inquisition and the Inquisition must be under the leadership of His Majesty the Great Pope. According to the Sacred Pact of the Continent, any action of the Inquisition and Inquisition against nobles and protected commoners was subject to the permission of the archbishop and the local lord. It is a very dangerous act for the court to act on its own initiative!"

The group of ascetics, the holy knightly community who fought full-time, the night watchman, the priests, and the nuns were the troika that made up the structure of the church. Because where the Glorious Church was established, it was originally a loose religious organization and did not have a unified leadership. Therefore, in the beginning, there was no superiority in status between the Grand Inquisitors of the Inquisition and the Inquisition, the Supreme Leader of the Pastoral Order, the Ecumenical Pope, the Supreme Leader of the Sisters, the Celestial Goddess, the Spiritual Leader of the Ascetics, and the Chief Priest of the Holy Knights.

For example, when the church was just in its embryonic state, the supreme leader of the church was the Great Prophet, who had the wisdom of transcending time and space, leading believers to avoid danger and persecution, and silently spreading faith in the dark.

In the stage of the large-scale outbreak of church faith, the supreme elf leader once became Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song, and it was the healing magic of the nuns that soothed the bodies and minds of the poor people at the bottom who were under the cruel oppression of the Magic Empire.

Even during the Dawning War, because of the needs of the war, the chief regiment temporarily became the supreme leader of the church, commanding the Radiant believers and the insurgents to win victory after victory.

However, the last chief of the Radiant Followers to victory in the Dawning War is special, he is not only the chief of the Radiant Knights, but also the Pope of all the priest leaders, and the first emperor of the Holy Church.

However, it is precisely because of the high degree of centralization of power by His Majesty the First Holy Emperor that His Majesty the Second Holy Emperor has some undeserved ambitions. In the end, when the second Holy Emperor was ambitious to unify the continent and expedition to the north, enveloping the entire world under the glorious faith, he was assassinated by the sword of sin "Original Sin * Killing the King". The highly centralized church collapsed, and after a series of fierce battles, the unified church was divided into four major churches, and the authority of the Holy Emperor was also divided, partly to the secular king, that is, the current Holy Hyrule Emperor, and partly to the pope, so that the Pope's Holy See, which was originally only a priest leader, was truly promoted to His Majesty the Pope, who was above the believers, and the position of the chief of the knights disappeared completely, and the five major knights were divided into various parties, but there was no unified chief of the pope.

With the help of the assassination of His Majesty the Second Holy Emperor, the Inquisition took the opportunity to set off a wave of revenge against heresy and dark forces, and dominated the public opinion of the Holy See, growing stronger in the battle against the dark forces, and finally reached its peak in the hands of the "Sage" Yawen, opening the dark age that dominated the church for thousands of years.

However, at the end of the Dark Ages, the Inquisition was severely damaged by the great counterattack of the heretical forces, and after the last Grand Inquisitor fell into the hands of the vengeful Necromantic King, the secular nobles and other factions within the Church joined forces to completely knock the Night's Watch to dust, and the power of the original Inquisition was greatly reduced, and the position of the Grand Inquisitor was abolished, and three Inquisitors were in charge, which is now known as the Triumvirate of the Inquisition.

Moreover, because of the horror precedent of the dark millennium, the power of the Inquisition has continued to be suppressed by the nobility and the Church, and the Holy See even set up a sacramental ministry directly under the Pope to govern the Inquisition and the Inquisition, completely placing the night watchman and the inquisitor under the jurisdiction of the priest of the same level.

Over the past few thousand years, factional forces within the church have risen and fallen, but pastors have grown larger and larger as churches have expanded and moved deeper into cities, towns, villages, and even wilderness. In addition, because the pastor shoulders the responsibility of guiding sentient beings and shepherding the lambs, he has the most contact with ordinary people in his daily life, and has constantly rooted his existence and organization in the grassroots, and has unconsciously become the strongest force within the church.

After the signing of the Holy Pact between the Glory the Great and Pope Gregory, the Pope became the universal patriarch above all secular believers in the legal doctrine of the Church, the spokesman for the authority of the Lord on earth, and the infallible Apostolic See. Even Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song, who is theoretically on the same level as His Majesty the Pope, is ranked after His Majesty the Pope in the Holy Throne.

Of course, in the present era when the position of the chief of the Holy Knights has been dismantled, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition has been abolished, and the Great Prophet of the ascetic community has not appeared for thousands of years, only Her Highness the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Song can theoretically compete with His Majesty the Pope. Even in the consciousness of many nobles and commoners, His Highness the Pope and His Highness the Holy Maiden represent the men and women under the light, because secular women are subordinate to men, so it is normal for His Highness the Holy Maiden of Tiange to be slightly lower than His Highness the Pope.

However, even if Her Royal Highness is second only to His Majesty the Pope, in terms of status, she is far higher than the three giants of the Inquisition. Mrs. Loris came to her to complain, and there was nothing wrong with that.
