"Your Highness, why do you want Dino?"

In the living room, Mavi looked dazed when he heard that Katerina wanted to exchange Dino Pluto for the 'Adam's Star'.

"He's very capable and I need someone like that." Katerina replied, "If you agree, Father, I would like to train him to be the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom." ”

His lips squirmed slightly, and Ma Wei stopped talking.

He didn't want Dino to leave in his heart, the Church of Truth needed Dino, but such an important official as the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom was the highest honor for every businessman....

Katerina recognized Dino's ability, and in the same way, Mavi also recognized that he had entrusted almost all the financial affairs of the Church of Truth to Dino, and it turned out that Dino handled it very well and did not need to worry about it at all.

If Dino wants to leave the Church of Truth and become Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Romanov Kingdom, should he stop it?

No....

If this was Dino's own choice, Mavi couldn't find any reason to stop him.

"Does Dino know about this?"

"I haven't told him yet, I want to ask the priest for your opinion first, and only if you agree can I make a formal invitation."

Ma Wei took a deep breath: "Your Highness, to be honest, I don't want to hand over Dino to you, but if he wants to leave himself, then I won't stop him." ”

"I'm relieved to have your words." Katerina nodded: "I am in dire need of manpower, and if the coup is successful, the original bureaucracy will be completely overthrown, so I must find someone who can take on the responsibility." ”

"I understand, you don't have to explain."

"Then I'll go find him."

Putting on her hood, Katerina left the 'Star of Adam' and left the church alone.

"Dad, why don't you keep Uncle Dino?" Yunia, who had a melon seed in her mouth, was puzzled.

"Dino is not a full member of the church, and he is qualified to choose the path ahead." Ma Wei rubbed his daughter's head: "Life is like this, you don't know which day, someone important will suddenly leave you, Dino has paid too much for the Church of Truth, we must respect his choice." ”

"But if you don't want Uncle Dino to leave, you should say it!" Yunia shouted, "If you don't tell it, how will the other party know?" ”

"When a person has the idea of leaving you, it's only a matter of time before he leaves.... I know Dino very well, he is a very assertive person, and if he doesn't want to leave the Church of Truth, then he will definitely tell Katerina Ming. ”

....................................

Mosk, Volga Street, a newly formed newspaper.

"What did you say?"

In the noisy printing room full of ink, Dino, who was wearing silver-rimmed glasses and was checking whether there was any problem with the layout and printing of the newspaper, raised his head and looked at Katerina, who suddenly arrived, with a shocked face: "Your Highness, do you want me to be the future Minister of Finance of the Kingdom?" ”

"Yes." Katerina didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "This is my official invitation to you, Dino Pluto. ”

"I'm not going."

Dino put down the newspaper, took off his silver-rimmed glasses, wiped the lenses with the lower corners of his shirt, and replied very simply: "For such an important position as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Your Highness, you should find someone else, I can't do it." ”

"Don't you think about it?"

"There's nothing to think about, anyone can be the chancellor of the exchequer, but the Church of Truth is not something that ordinary people can be responsible for, and I'm afraid few people can stand the priest's character of throwing his hands in charge and leaving things to you." Dino shrugged his shoulders and put back on his silver-rimmed glasses: "He needs help more than Your Highness." ”

"With such a strong temper, does Father Mavi really need help?" Katerina was a little curious.

"That's Your Highness, you don't know him well enough, Father, he's actually a very lonely person.... I don't know why, I can just see the shadow of loneliness in him, he needs help more than anyone else, like a drowning man, clinging to a rope, and at the other end of the rope is the truth and those of us who support him behind him, if one day we are gone and leave him, he may sink into it completely. ”

"I see." Katerina nodded lightly: "But there are still many people who support him, don't you think about your future?" ”

"Without him, how could I be where I am today?"

Waving his hand, Dino said nonchalantly: "If I think about my future, I shouldn't go back to the Romanov kingdom and help the priest." If I had stayed in the Kingdom of Windsor to develop and make a fortune, I would have been the richest man in the kingdom by now, although it was a bit exaggerated, at least it was not too much. ”

"Haven't you always considered yourself a merchant?"

"Your Highness.... Businessmen are good and bad, and they have a conscience and a conscience, if you really don't understand, think of my actions as an investment in the Church of Truth, who will leave the company when it is about to go public? It doesn't make sense! ”

Chewing on Dino's words, Katerina silently returned to the Kremlin, she has never been able to understand Dino's 'loyalty' to Mavi, let alone why Mavi was able to gather a group of companions who followed him, even Daniel, the crown prince of Frederick's kingdom, has recently let go of his aristocratic mentality and become much more approachable.

It's not just because of the truth, but because of Ma Wei, there is a charm and aura that she hasn't been able to discover so far.

Or rather....

She and Ma Wei are two extremes, Ma Wei can understand her approach, but she can't fully understand Ma Wei.

Standing in the Kremlin's garden, Katerina touched her chest, raised her head, looked at the branches of light and shadow, and peered into the blue sky through the gaps there.

Suddenly, she seemed to know why.

If Ma Wei is a pile of burning dry wood, even if she does not hesitate to burn herself to shine, then she is a piece of cold ice without temperature, even if there are countless followers, they can't sense the temperature of the outside world, and those who follow her are for the Romanov Kingdom, for the traces in their hearts.... Peter the Great.

"Father, why are you able to unite people's hearts?" Katerina muttered, "Even after your death, there are countless people who want to fulfill your wishes in life.... Is the sun greater than the moon? ”

With a whisper, Katerina walked towards the palace, as if she needed a little longer to think about it.

St. Basil's Cathedral.

Mavi carefully closed the box, put away the 'Adam's Star', and returned to the pulpit hall to continue teaching the monks.

Regarding the 'Star of Adam', Ma Wei does not plan to delve into it for the time being, and for now he must concentrate on dealing with the Cult of Wisdom God and solving the problems encountered by the Church of Truth.

Tomorrow is the day of the Senate General Assembly, where Archbishop Henry will certainly propose a law abolishing serfdom, and if he succeeds....

Then the Church of Truth will face its most critical situation since its founding.

Once the core doctrine of the Church of Truth loses its competitiveness, it is only a matter of time before it fails.

To that end, Mavi had to go all out and plan his next steps based on the results of tomorrow's conference.
