The two brothers who once fought with their brother for the throne in secret, now when the throne is within reach, and Dean, who is the second prince, chose to retreat in order to protect his life, so he gave up the throne to his brother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It sounds really ironic, but Isano Riston didn't think Dean was joking.

"Mingzhe protects himself~ Why did you make such a decision? Your Highness!" Isano took a deep breath and looked at Dean with some meaning.

“... Why?" After muttering a corpse, Dean smiled helplessly: "Isn't this a very obvious thing, the reputation of the royal family is crumbling, and now the throne is simply a fire pit, my brother is fascinated by power and wants to sit on it at all costs, but I see more places." ”

For a moment, Iseno's eyes widened, and the cardinal was speechless with a look as if he had met Dean for the first time.

It seems that after witnessing the power of the gods, some of the concepts that Prince Dean has established on a daily basis have been completely overturned, originally thought that those towering walls and strong soldiers could guard his own safety, originally thought that it was absolutely impossible to be forcibly shaken by external forces, but in the end they were just sandcastles built on the beach, and the gods in the sky only needed to push lightly with their fingers to collapse without suspense. And the power of the world, not to mention facing the gods themselves, is the messenger of the gods is an insurmountable mountain for the worldly mortals!

This was the cardinal's speculation, but it was also the conclusion of Aleguso's synthesis of Dean's character, personality and perception of various things. In fact, if Alegurso had not replaced Dean, it was also very likely that His Royal Highness the Prince of Belrama would have given up the throne and chosen to save his life.

"I didn't misread His Highness Dean, you are much better than your brother Victor...... "Iseno finally said with a sigh.

"With all due respect, Your Excellency Cardinal, will the royal family really be replaced by the Holy See this time?"

Seeing this, Areguso didn't want to be polite to Issenor, on the contrary, he had always been very interested in the Holy See's plans in the main material plane, after all, the contest between royal power and divine power has always affected the situation between the main material plane and the void, and what demons hate to see the most is that divine power is overwhelming, and without the stupidity of mortals under the constraints of the gods, there will be less wars, turmoil, famines, and plagues, and the evil souls that fall into the distorted void will be reduced a lot.

In the past, Issenore would not answer this too sensitive question, but this time, the old man looked at Dean with burning eyes, and said in a powerful tone: "You have thought too much about His Royal Highness the Prince, the Holy See will not replace the secular power, and it does not want to take away the king's scepter. ”

"But the Holy See has always wanted to restrain the king, hasn't it?"

"Please be careful, Your Highness Dean. ”

Iseno frowned, Dean's words have already asked a little beyond the norm, the Holy See does want to restrain the secular kings, but that is only to guide the kings to avoid them from making mistakes, from the original concept of divine power above the royal power Although the concept of divine power above the royal power is instilled in the hearts of every bishop of the Holy See, every bishop knows that the goddess does not intend to confiscate the king's crown, the kingdom of mortals needs mortals to govern themselves, and the goddess does not intend to let the believers become puppets who obey their orders, but only hopes that the believers will not go down the wrong path。

'Dean' also said with a look of seeing through the world, ignoring the cardinal's dissuasion: "Your Excellency Iseno, there are only three of us here, and you don't need to worry about anything, in fact, I know very well that including my brother Victor, the Holy See has always wanted to restrain the power of the world, it can be said that this is already a semi-open secret, but everyone is unwilling to break it...... Forgive me, in fact I was initially dissatisfied with the idea that the papal theocracy was above the royal power, and it was not until that night that I finally realized the true purpose of the papacy, as you said, the papacy did not want to take the king's scepter at all, but only to avoid the secular kings, no! it should be the whole of humanity that made a mistake, because our fighting with each other will introduce demons into this world. ”

Hearing this, Isano couldn't help but be slightly moved: "Your intelligence is beyond my expectations, and the most important thing is that I am very pleased to have your understanding, Your Royal Highness!"

The invisible rift between the Holy See and the secular has always existed, with the gradual deepening of the spread of the doctrine of the Holy See, the king of any country will subconsciously take some overt or covert means to resist the Holy See, many of which also have some propaganda to discredit the Holy See, which makes the bishops of the Holy See feel indignant and contemptuous of the secular kingdom's behavior of such a rat-eyed act, the knights of the Holy See bloody struggle to eliminate demons and cultists has become an act of excluding dissidents in their eyes, and the Holy See has taken in refugees and transported food for disaster relief The result has become an attempt to weaken the royal power and buy people's hearts in their eyesThese fools who do not hesitate to ruin the entire future for the sake of a little shallow profit are harming the world, and they do not hesitate to tarnish the majesty of the goddess and squander the love of the goddess for a little petty profit, and even do not hesitate to cooperate with the cultists just to continue to hold that ridiculous power.

Like many clergy, Isenor, who knows how hard the goddess has paid to protect the world, deeply agrees with the teachings of the goddess to restrict the rights of the world, the world is ignorant, the world sometimes can't tell right from wrong, and it is easy to be misled by all kinds of propaganda and false promises, no matter in the wise, people who seem to have an iron will will slowly corrode over time, only the goddess is an immortal existence!

The Holy See has made countless sacrifices to block the invasion of demons on the main physical plane, and has made countless efforts to enable mankind to become the ruler of this world, but all these efforts have been slandered and wronged with ulterior motives, and many high-ranking members of the Holy See also look down on those ignorant people from the bottom of their hearts.

And today, Dean's recognition made it seem as if a knot had been untied in Isano's heart, how much the Holy See's long-term efforts were not for the supreme good of mankind, how much did not want the entire human race to be united as a rock as indestructible, but there were always people who could not understand the great teachings of the goddess.

It's just that...... Cardinal Isseno, the Holy See, did not know that it was not the goddesses who understood him and recognized him, but the gods' worst enemy, the demons!

"The arrival of the demon has made the world know the gods again, and it is foreseeable that the power of the Holy See will multiply in the future, and it may be ...... then" said here 'Dean' paused: "The people remember the name of the goddess Ishtar, but they do not necessarily remember who the king on the throne is. ”

"So you're scared? ”

"How could I not be afraid of Cardinal Iseno, there are not a few kings who have been guillotined in history, Silvado's stupid actions have made the royal family of the entire Belrama Kingdom crumble, and West** The family has also begun to cut off from the royal family because of the loss of Miss Elisa, who is the heir, and now the royal family only needs to take a wrong step, and at this time, the elder brother still looks at the situation with a conservative mind, and does not realize the importance of the situation at all, maybe tomorrow is the news that there is a mutiny in the royal capital, I will not be surprised. ”

"Since you have foreseen all this, then why do you still give up the throne to your brother Victor, and it is not up to you to sit on the throne and stabilize the situation at this time, right?"

Dean still shook his head: "If I insist on fighting for the throne, and the result is only to add fuel to the fire at this time of crisis, the infighting between me and my brother will become the last straw that overwhelms the royal family, and if I back down, the royal family may still be able to survive for a while, and I can also use this last bit of time to try to cut off my brother and keep my relatives safe for at least the time to come, this is the only thing I can do now, and I don't dare to ask for the rest." ”

Essano looked at Dean with some regret, he really didn't expect Prince Dean to see so far away, nor did he expect that His Royal Highness's mind would change so much after witnessing the miracle of that day, and it seemed that it was not as effective as a shocking warning to spread the doctrine day after day and year after year.

However, at this moment, Dean stood up and lowered his head, and said helplessly: "Cardinal Issenor, I don't care what the Holy See is going to do with the Kingdom of Bellama, but here I only hope to beg you for one thing, can you spare my mother and sister Refina?"

Iseno could clearly feel that Dean was indeed disheartened, not to mention the throne in the royal capital of the Bellama Kingdom, even the lord position in the Golden Spike Territory, His Royal Highness the Prince didn't seem to want to continue to sit, now all the prince wanted was to become an ordinary person and cut off all the factors that might hurt him and his relatives.

As a member of the royal family of the Belrama Kingdom, Dean's behavior is very irresponsible, but as an ordinary person, he has given up all glory and wealth for the safety of his relatives, and Dean's behavior should be praised.

"Don't be like this, Your Royal Highness, you are serious. The goddess Ishtar is merciful, and the judgment of the goddess will only come to the sinners, and you and your sister are not guilty of anything. Cardinal Issano Riston was also moved.

However, it is casual to say that it is just that the Holy See wants to use this demonic attack to deal with the royal family members of the Bellama Kingdom, and it will officially start when a certain ceremony is completed on the other side, but seeing that Dean is even willing to pay such a price for the safety of his relatives, the cardinal also wants to help this believer, but it is a bit nerve-wracking how to deal with this matter tactfully.

In an instant, another thought came to the bishop's mind, a way to get the best of both worlds: "What if...... If you are really willing to give up your current status, Your Royal Highness, there may be a way to do it. ”

There was a glow of hope in Dean's eyes, but the side of the killing master in his heart was dismissive, Dean gave up and didn't give up It has nothing to do with him, what will happen to the royal family of this country has nothing to do with him, he is obviously annoyed with the intrigue with mortals and now he has to do it.
