"Congratulations, noble princess, your beauty shines as brightly as the sun's rays, and your charm is as charming as the moon! May the light of the Most High God shine on you forever!" spoke a man in a red robe, a long pointed hat on his head, and a golden sun embroidered on the chest of the robe, as if it was blazing, domineering and imposing, this is the cardinal of the Cult of Light.

The Cult of Light is the latest rise of a cult in recent decades, he does not worship the god Raphael, does not worship the god of the sea, and does not worship the god Gaia, the god of the earth, this cult only recognizes that the creation of the world is the only majestic god, and the other gods are false gods and inferior gods, the Cult of the Illuminati severely and fiercely criticizes these gods with chaotic and complex relationships, they believe that it is these gods who do not know how to respect and equal each other, and are hostile to each other, which leads to such chaos in this world, so many wars.

The Cult of the Illuminati believes that all these gods should be denied and only the authority of the supreme god of creation should be recognized, so that all beings will be equal and will usher in peace.

Originally, such a church that jumped out to deny the deep-rooted theological system for thousands of years was easily drowned in the torrent of history, but this church propagated that the supreme god is the only god and the only authority, and all other gods should be denied, and this view was favored and affirmed by Kriza XVI.

This was in line with his idea of strengthening the centralization of power and reclaiming power that had been scattered in the hands of the aristocracy and large family forces.

At that time, Kriza XVI was seriously troubled by the tail of the Kelsman family, and he desperately hoped that some new rising forces could compete with this huge family, and he could gradually recover the imperial power that had been diluted by this family from the process of suppressing the Kelsman family.

In order to centralize power, Kriza XVI indirectly supported the rise of a large family by reusing his most trusted brother, Duke Tareras, on the one hand, and on the other hand, he vigorously supported the Cult of the Illuminati, contributing money and people to help them build churches, and His Majesty the Emperor himself led by example, taking the lead in declaring himself a follower of the Cult of the Illuminati and recognizing the supreme authority of the Supreme God.

With the strong support of His Majesty the Emperor, the Cult of the Illuminati grew rapidly, and the number of believers quickly increased from a few thousand to millions, and this church rooted in the imperial power did to a large extent contain and affect the Kelsman family's control of the empire, and His Majesty the Emperor did take back a lot of imperial power from it.

But in a sense, Kriza XVI, like his ancestor Kriza I, also signed a devil's agreement, and in order to achieve their own goals, they borrowed the help of other forces, and although they profited from it, they also cultivated a big tail.

The rapid development and expansion of the Illuminati Cult far exceeded the imagination of Kriza XVI, once the religion is officially recognized, the power and influence it can exert in the civil and officialdom is extremely terrifying, and when Kriza XVI comes to his senses, this church is like the Kelsman family, it has been like a giant tree, the roots of the tree are deeply rooted in this empire, and it is difficult to shake and eradicate it.

Chryza XVI once said to Tareras privately with a wry smile: "I have made the same mistake as my ancestors, after I open this hell's box, it can no longer be closed, what will happen to this religious giant with terrifying survival and reproductive ability, and where it will lead this great empire, no one knows ......"

However, the only thing that Kriza XVI was fortunate for was that the two great forces of the Cult of Light and the Kelsman were hostile and hostile to each other.

As the deep-rooted traditional forces of this empire, and as the most formidable family power in the imperial capital of Garcia, the Kelsman family is empty-eyed and extremely arrogant, and they look down on any new forces, just as an old comrade in an agency will always squint at those new hairy boys.

In their opinion, these newcomers should respect old-timers like them, and should obey their teachings and commands on the basis of subordination to them, so that they can be recognized.

But no matter which new people or forces rise in history, they all have a common characteristic, that is: unruly and ambitious!

The Kelsman family is extremely reproachful for their actions in acknowledging the "new people" and "new forces", and although the family has suppressed and eliminated countless new forces and individuals who refuse to submit to them, the family has also paid a heavy price for their actions.

The most typical example is the pirate king Athos, who almost dominated the seas a hundred years ago.

When Athos was just beginning to make his fortune, someone suggested to the Kelsman family that an olive branch should be extended to this guy in order to ensure the smooth flow of maritime trade and trade routes.

But the Kelsman family scoffed, and they laughed and said: "How can such a despicable and lowly pirate be worthy of cooperating with our Kelsman family? He is just a shrimp fish in the sea, and we only need one finger to pinch him to death!"

But the fact is that Athos quickly grew from a shrimp swimming fish to a terrifying beast dragon, and when he drove the Black Dragon King roaring the seven seas, the Kelsman family's trading routes on the sea were almost all cut off by this guy, and when the Kelsman family panicked and mobilized a large army to crusade against Atos, Atos's wings were already full and formed, and he led his fleet to defeat the Kelsman family's fleet and collapse the army.

The Kelsman family lost almost all foreign trade because of this battle and their arrogance, and the tentacles of this huge family reaching out to other continents were cut off by Athos mercilessly, and completely retracted.

Under the blow of Athos, the patriarch of the Kelsman family once lamented: "Our family has been hit back by this pirate for a whole ten years!"

If it weren't for the arrogance of Athos to declare war on the whole world and bring about the catastrophe, perhaps the suffering and suffering of the Kelsman family would have been even deeper and more severe.

Although they had learned the tragic lesson of Athos, they had forgotten the pain after the scars, and the deep-seated arrogance and arrogance of the Kelsman family did not make their family leaders reflect and repent too much, and they still held their chin high and squinted at those newcomers and new forces.

In their opinion, even the once tyrannical Athos will still be drowned in the torrent of history, but our Kelsman family will always stand!

It is precisely because of this that the Kelsman family, who were already very contemptuous of others, became more and more arrogant, not only taking the lead in denying the purpose of the Illuminati Cult, but also privately sneering and criticizing the purpose of this church as an act of fooling the people, the kind of so-called religion that only people with the smell of earth would believe.

Although the Cult of the Illuminati preaches peace in the four seas and the equality of all beings, in fact, this Church is extremely radical, it does not tolerate any heresy and provocation, the Pope of this Church and his cardinals cannot tolerate the arrogant temper and pomp of the Kelsman family, in their opinion, the Cult of the Illuminati is a new rising and vigorous new force, unlike the Kelsman family, which is a dull and old family, they are obviously more energetic and powerful!

The Kelsman family's political and economic influence in this empire is unparalleled, but the Illuminati Cult has started from the basics, and they have almost controlled all the most basic people in this empire.

If any one power can control the vast majority of the country's population, then it has the strength and power to overthrow the country, which seriously provokes the dominance of the Kelsman family in this empire.

The Kelsman family began to suppress the Cult of Light harshly and frantically, and the Cult of Light was naturally not to be outdone, they relentlessly resisted and fought back.

The confrontation between these two forces is most directly reflected in the confrontation between Prince Kirk and Prince Fernandez.

The fundamental reason why the Kelsman family has been so arrogant and has remained strong for so many years is that they are the staunchest royalists, and as long as the heir to the throne acknowledges the agreement that the family has signed with the royal family, they will unreservedly support the heir.

Although the Kelsman family has the power to overthrow the Kriza royal family and replace it, the rulers of the Kelsman family clearly know that their family's strength lies in controlling this huge empire through the lever of the economy, and if they must usurp the throne and seize power by means of military warfare, then the emperors who firmly control the military power will have an excuse and reason to justify the abolition of all previous agreements.

On the battlefield against the Kriza royal family, who have a brilliant record and great achievements, the Kelsman family is not sure of victory!

Therefore, the trade agreement that has caused headaches for generations of Kriza emperors is the most sacred and inviolable family code of the Kelsman family!

And Prince Kirk is the prince who recognized this agreement!

This ugly-looking emperor almost grew up under the influence of the important ministers of the Kelsman family, his enlightenment teachers, military and political teachers were all from the Kelsman family, and the emperor at that time was too busy with foreign wars to take care of this child who did not have a hair like him, so when he looked back, the prince Kirk had grown up and became the most hardcore supporter of the Kelsman family.

This is a bolt from the blue for Chryza XVI, who aims to weaken and overthrow the Kelsman family, and his future heir to the throne is a die-hard fan of the Kelsman family.

Since Kriza XVI saw the birth of the prince Kirk, he disliked this child very much, and the queen who gave birth to Kirk and his relationship was not harmonious, so this child has not liked him, but due to the power behind the queen and the traditional conventions that have always been practiced, he had to make Kirk, the eldest son, the prince of the empire.

Coupled with the fact that the Prince Kirk has now fallen to the Kelsman family against his original wishes, this has made His Majesty's dissatisfaction with Kirk reach the extreme.

It was at this time that His Majesty the Emperor married a young and beautiful new empress, and the new empress gave birth to a beautiful and handsome child who looked very much like Kriza XVI, and this child was none other than Fernandez!

What happened next has been talked about and passed down by word of mouth among the people of the imperial capital of Garcia, and those hidden court secrets have always been passed down among the people.

As Kriza XVI grew old, and his young and beautiful wife was in her youth, this beautiful woman fascinated not only Kriza XVI, but also his son, Prince Kirk!

And so, something terrible happened......

Prince Kirk falls in love with his stepmother and has an affair in private!

This news shocked Kriza XVI, who had just announced the marriage of Prince Kirk and Angel, the princess of the Falco Empire!

Because he suddenly thought of what happened decades ago!

It was precisely because he fell in love with his father's wife, Joanna, a woman who was so beautiful that people went crazy, that he blatantly killed his father when the time was not ripe and launched a coup d'état!

And this coup d'état led to a whole decade of civil strife in the empire!

What happened back then seems to be vivid, and what happened in front of you seems to be a repetition of the history of that year!

How did Kriza XVI not be shocked and panicked?

The throne under his ass was taken by him because he was spying on his stepmother's posture, could he not worry that Prince Kirk would repeat such history again?

Because of this, Kriza XVI mercilessly killed his beloved and beautiful queen, and began to seriously guard against and alienate the prince Kirk, which also led to a complete break between Kriza XVI and Kirk!

Since then, the father and son are still affectionate and harmonious on the outside, but one is full of vigilance and precautions in their hearts, and the other is full of anger and hatred.

In this case, Prince Fernández grew up, a prince who, of course, knew everything that had happened in his own youth before.

In his opinion, although his mother died at the hands of his father, the culprit was this ridiculous garlic-nosed prince Kirk!

This demon-cursed man seduces his beloved mother and defiles her, sending her to hell!

Because of this, brothers who should have a deep brotherhood with each other have since become strangers!

Prince Fernández threw himself into the arms of the Cult of the Illuminati without hesitation, and became the spokesperson of this ecclesiastical force and the Clumber Chamber of Commerce under Tareras!

He swore to take the throne from Prince Kirk and kill his brother, because he thought that this ** man was not worthy to be the emperor of this empire!

In the imperial palace of the imperial capital of Garcia, there is not a single trace of warm family affection, only endless indifference and hatred!

In this case, the imperial capital is divided into three major forces, the Kelsman family, and the Illuminati Cult and the Klumber Chamber of Commerce supported by the emperor himself, the strength of the Kelsman family is incomparable, so the Kilman Cult and the Klumber Chamber of Commerce often join forces to deal with the Kelsman family.

These three major forces are like the three legs of the Iron Ding, each of which occupies one side, and although the Cult of Light and the Klumbel Chamber of Commerce are strategic partnerships that often join forces, in fact, there is often some friction and filth between these two forces.

The bustling imperial capital of Garcia not only has the most jaw-dropping luxury in the world, but also has the most complex political relationships, among the three major forces of the Kelsman family, the Cult of the Illuminati and Tareras, they have derived from each other's forces, and their forces are intertwined with each other, and they are as complex as human hair and blood vessels.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the current imperial capital is a terrifying minefield, and Prince Kirk and Fernandez are both sharpening their swords, preparing each other's swords, and staring at each other ready to fight.

And almost everyone knows that Kriza XVI, who has personally brewed all this, has lost his ability to control the current situation, and all he can do is delay or accelerate the outbreak of all these contradictions.

Angel, the princess who married from afar, was undoubtedly a fuse that accelerated the outbreak of all this, and now the entire imperial capital is like a powder keg, which will explode at any time, and people who are eyeing it are waiting for a spark to burst out of the sky.

Faced with the blessing of the cardinal of the Cult of Light, Princess Angel fell down politely and reservedly, bowed her head, folded her hands, and prayed in a low voice like a pious maiden.

No one knows what she is praying for, whether she is praying for a happy future marriage, or if she is praying for something else?

The blessing was completed when the cardinal had sprinkled Angel with the grail water from a carefully picked and trimmed twig and sprinkled it on Angel's head.

Angel stood up and walked up to the high platform of the square, while the cardinal walked down to continue to bless Angel and his party.

The Cult of the Illuminati would not miss such a golden opportunity to expand their faith and reputation.

Although Christina did not believe in this cult, she still followed Angel's example and knelt down.

But when the cardinal came to Tang Jie's side, trouble came.

Tang Jie was watching Angel walk to the high platform of the square step by step, she was getting closer and closer to the garlic-nosed man step by step, but she was getting farther and farther away from herself, Tang Jie felt like someone had been pulled hard in his heart, very uncomfortable!

Any man with a little bit of self-esteem and temper in such a situation, let alone let him kneel down to accept the wedding blessing, even if it is difficult for him to respond politely!

What's more, Tang Jie came from a country that had never had a religious war before he crossed over?

In the 5,000-year history of his country, religion has never played a dominant role in the country's history, and its influence on them is minimal.

In Tang Jie's opinion, this kind of guy who wears a robe and draws a circle on his chest pretends to be a ghost!

Let me kneel to them?

I, Tang Jie, fight the wind and waves, roaring in the sky, when have I ever knelt?

Don't even think about it!

Tang Jie saw the cardinal walking towards him with a majestic face, he immediately rolled his eyes, his eyes turned to the sky, and pretended not to see this cardinal!

His childish behavior is inconspicuous in the reckless crowd, but it is very eye-catching in the eyes of those who have a heart.

The Cardinals had never seen anyone so arrogant and contemptuous of them, and even the Kelsman would not provoke them in public!

Clay puppets also have a fire nature, not to mention this childish but extremely slanderous behavior?

The cardinal trembled with anger, and his originally majestic and kind face became a little distorted, but now after all, he was in full view of everyone, and he couldn't attack in public, so the cardinal simply followed Tang Jie's example, pretending not to see him, and jumped directly to the next person, and continued to bless, everyone pretended to be blind together, and they were happy and quiet with each other!

Tang Jie's behavior purely came from his character and his indifferent worldview of religion, which in his own opinion, was not a big deal, and no one had told him how awesome the Illuminati Sect was, how not to offend, but in the eyes of others, this was an amazing behavior!

These people who are rolling in the political arena all day long unconsciously think: What does his behavior mean?

Prince Fernández stared at Tang Jie with a very ugly face, and he even glared at the Duke of Tareras with some annoyance, as if to say: Didn't you say that he was seduced by Agatha and had already fallen to us?

And Prince Kirk glanced at Tang Jie a few more times, with a thoughtful look on his face: Is this guy a friend or an enemy?

The forces of the imperial capital, which was already chaotic like a muddy deep pool, became more and more confusing because of Tang Jie's casual actions of an outsider.

They watched it all with piercing eyes, silently waiting for the flame that ignited everything.
