Chapter 113: Gwenlith
After a series of major events, Snow City finally calmed down, and everything seemed to be back to normal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the situation of the palace is different, and the departure of the princess makes the castle of Nuoda have only two owners, one is the king. The other is the current Queen Mother, Gwynlith.
What seems to be a smooth surface is actually a surging element of uneasiness in the dark.
Gwenlith was just about to go for a walk in the garden when the maid trotted over to tell her about something that had been prepared but had been unexpected.
The matter of the archbishop has been exposed. She had long guessed that there would be such an outcome, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"You go and inform Lord Colin. "She had to make a trip to the Grand Curia.
Gwynlith sat in the carriage, in a terrible mood.
The last time the archbishop lost his scepter was accidentally exposed, and now he is questioned by several bishops, and if he can't find a reason, he can only abdicate in the end.
Gwynlith didn't want to see this happen, the archbishop was the person he had been secretly supporting, his presence made many things easier, and if he was ousted, he didn't know how much energy it would take to support someone again.
Those high-ranking personnel of the Holy See are not easy to talk to, they seem to be all faithful believers, and it is more difficult to get them to work for the royal family. He strongly supported this archbishop because he was willing to become a subordinate of the royal family.
The archbishop was besieged in the back hall, which was a place of great honor, and the rest of the people were not allowed to enter unless they were people of great nobility or above.
By the time Gwenlith arrived, the situation had not yet reached the point of being out of control.
"The Queen Mother. "The Holy See people saluted.
Everyone was very surprised by this sudden visit. Because the royal family members will be notified in advance when they come to worship, and a large number of soldiers will be sent to protect their personal safety, why did they not receive notice this time?
"What's going on?" asked Gwen knowingly.
She only knew that the matter was exposed, but now it is not clear where she has reached, and she can only understand the situation through clichés.
"Queen Mother, this is a private matter for the Holy See. Carlos Slow clearly refused to intervene.
Carlos Slow was one of the bishops.
In the Holy See, the highest leader is the archbishop, and below him are the six bishops, who are equivalent to the Council of the Senate, and when the archbishop makes a mistake, they have the right to rebuke and even dismiss him.
The Holy See is the largest force on the continent, and the Holy See of the God of Nature occupies several countries in the north, so the internal affairs of the Holy See have always disliked the interference of people from the royal family, even the noble Queen Mother.
"Yes, an ordinary person may be a private matter of the Holy See, but when it comes to the archbishop, the royal family cannot sit idly by. "Gwen's reasons are very good, the presence of the archbishop affects the administration of a country, and of course has the right to interfere.
Carlos Luo smiled and nodded.
"What the Queen Mother said is reasonable, then you will listen to it first, and if there is anything wrong, you will bring it up for our reference. Carlos Slow said politely.
Gwen secretly admired that this bishop was indeed smart, he had said so, and it was not good for him to interfere without permission, so he could only talk about it depending on the situation, and hoped that the archbishop would not be so stupid and say something irreparable.
"Archbishop, where is the scepter?" asked the questioner again, the archbishop had kept silent before, and they could not lynch until he was removed from his position, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
The archbishop didn't say anything at first, just hoping that the Queen Mother could save him, but now in this situation, the Queen Mother can't intervene, and she doesn't know what to do for a while.
He still kept his mouth shut, and as long as he was still an archbishop, they would not dare to do anything.
"Archbishop, this is the last chance, if we still don't say it, then we can only consider removing your identity, you have to think clearly. "Carloslo has spoken, patience is only temporary, if he does not say anything, can he let the Holy See let it go?
The Holy See has its own rules, and when a member of the bishop asks him, if someone keeps avoiding him, then he can be considered guilty and dealt with as he or she wants.
"The scepter is missing. The archbishop sighed, but still said it, in the face of an ultimatum, the end of saying it is the same as not saying it, but speaking it will reduce the guilt a little.
"Do you know what this charge is, Archbishop?" Carloslo's tone changed visibly, mixed with a deep sense of anger.
The scepter is a token that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the legend is that it is also an artifact used by the gods of nature, and only the Great Court of the Three Divine Pillars has it in the entire continent, so how hard-won such a reputation and status is.
Now that the archbishop has lost his position, and without the scepter as a token, what will the archbishop of the future use to pass on? What will he take to stand on the top of the continent in the future?
This crime is so big that it is cheap to be burned at the stake.
"Bishop Carlo, it's up to me to find the scepter. Another bishop dissuaded that it was not a matter of first priority to hold anyone at fault here, but that it was a matter if the scepter was lost and could not be recovered.
"Where did the scepter go missing?" said Carloslo, angry, but kept his composure, asking the reason before he could deal with the next thing.
"I don't know. "The archbishop was afraid, and of all the bishops, only Carlos was the only one who gave him an indescribable sense of fear, and even in normal times he did not dare to provoke this character.
"I propose the immediate removal of the archbishop from office. Carlos Slow raised his right hand and said, this is the way their bishops behave.
Gwenlith had been watching.
When she first learned the news, she suspected that the bishop was secretly attacking, after all, when the archbishop stepped down, one of them would replace him.
She carefully examined everyone's expressions, and found no flaw, that is, the loss of the scepter had nothing to do with them, or that one of them was too deep to be exposed.
In order to investigate this matter, she has sent her confidant Lord Colin to investigate, but there has been no reply so far, and if there is no result, the position of the archbishop will really not be kept.
"Slow. Gwynlith blocked the bishop's proposed dismissal.
"Does the Queen Mother have any opinions?" Carloslo was a little unsatisfied, but did not show it.
"The archbishop himself could not tell where the scepter had been lost, or perhaps he had just forgotten it somewhere, and it was a bit unreasonable to recklessly remove him from office when no real evidence had been found, and it might arouse the suspicion of others. "Gwen wants to stall for time, and she must find a way to keep her position as archbishop.
