Half an hour ago, in the mansion of Hatar, the royal capital of Haderata, in a tower temporarily built with magic power, the second prince, who had never appeared, was gathering here with a group of nobles of the kingdom.

"Your Highness Khattar, what do you want to do when you brought us all here?" A royal nobleman really couldn't stand this treatment of almost detention, and asked with dissatisfaction.

The rest of the nobles were also talking, and they all came after receiving a sincere invitation from Khattar.

Because in the past two days, King Bazel's sudden change of attitude and the behavior of the eldest prince Harold under house arrest have made many people realize that the change of the throne may have been a sure thing, so Khattar only used an invitation letter to invite all the nobles of the kingdom in the royal capital except for Harold's family.

However, upon entering, the crowd noticed that something was wrong, for the attendants did not lead them to the chambers of the mansion, but to the heavily guarded tower.

"You are all the most important pillars of the kingdom, and I have invited you here this time, naturally, to discuss the future of the kingdom!" Khattar sat upright in his chair and said with a smile.

"If you have anything to say, please speak up, Your Highness Hatar." The Marquis of the Kingdom Mortan was the first to speak, looking at the second prince's gaze with a look of pity.

Hatar didn't care, the archcount of the kingdom, his eyes swept over everyone, and he asked slowly. "I would like to ask you whether the kingdom now belongs to kings and lords, or to the bishops of the Church?"

These slightly sharp words made everyone present pause, but Count Bell on the side stood up and responded loudly.

"There's a lot going on with all this, isn't it? Of course, the spirit and faith go to God, and the world and the flesh go to the King! ”

"Yes, Count Bell? But I've heard that five years ago, it was with the support of a certain bishop that you killed your brother and took over your father's domain as a second son......" Hattar retorted with a sneer.

Bell's face changed suddenly, this secret should have been foolproof except for his henchmen and the bishop, but now it was directly poked out, but before he could explain, Hattar had already turned to the rest of the nobles present and said solemnly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the last hundred years, the power of the Church has grown stronger, and some bishops have even ceased to abide by their creeds, and have frequently interfered in secular affairs and the internal affairs of the kingdom, so that in the name of witch hunts, they have excluded dissidents and gathered power...... Compared to you and me, I'm afraid they are more like the true lords of the kingdom......"

Hatar's words hit the heart of the nobles of the kingdom the last thing they wanted to mention!

The lords of the kingdom are also believers in the gods, and the blind obedience brought by faith is far higher than the status of their lords, plus these priests have powerful divine arts, and any orders issued by these priests will not dare to easily disobey even the nobles with status.

As for the claim that the spirit is to God and the flesh to the king, it is nothing but a fool.

Although the priests are the most devout believers of the goddess of the moon and abide by the tenets of the church, it does not mean that they are saints without any ambitions, and the power in their hands is undoubtedly intolerable to most of the nobles of the kingdom!

However, the church's baptism of faith for hundreds of years is obviously not in vain, even if there is an entanglement of interests, the church is still no longer a few, and even before Bell can speak, the Marquis of Mortan on the side said angrily.

"Enough, Your Highness Khattar, you are alarmist, the Great Lord is the Creator of all things, and it is she who has sprinkled nectar on the barren land that has made it possible for living beings to appear, whether it is the nobles, the king, or the church, they are just doing their own thing, ruling the land in place of the Lord......"

The Genesis Bible mentions that everyone's destiny has been written in the book of destiny since birth, and all suffering and pain are the tests of the Lord, and joy and joy are the generous gifts of the Lord......

Becoming a lord is not entirely due to the canonization of the king, but the will of God!

It is because of God's mandate that they have the power to rule over the common people......

With Mortan at the forefront, the congregation of the church no longer cared about the guards in the tower, and some even shouted feverishly, 'The reason why the kingdom is so prosperous is that the great Lord has given the people faith and found the meaning of life!' ’

The rest of the nobles either watched coldly or remained silent, while more looked at Khattar, waiting for his response......

"I didn't expect you, Count of Mortan, to believe in that flawed Bible like those brainless poor people." Hattar sneered. "It's only been more than 800 years since the church was founded, could it be that the whole world was never born before that?"

"And until a hundred years ago, the lords of the kingdom still believed in elemental spirits, and this is not the territory of the church!"

The Lordship of Hadrata was conquered by the Empire only a hundred years ago, and was forced to become one of its vassal kingdoms, and after that conquest, although the Church burned a large number of folk texts, it was not enough to erase all traces of it in just a hundred years, and the belief in elemental spirits was not a secret to those noble families who had inherited it for a long time.

Seeing that Hattar dared to slander the Bible so bluntly, and even despise the gods, Mortan's face showed great trepidation, and he couldn't help but scold. "Do you know what you're talking about? This is blasphemy! ”

Count Bell also questioned. "Could it be that you plan to be hostile to the Holy See and the entire Secas Empire? His Highness Khattar? ”

"Why not?" Hattar didn't deny it, but nodded as usual.

The nobles present were in an uproar, although many of them supported the second prince's ascension to the throne, but they only expected that Hatar would continue to restrict the privileges of the church after his ascension to the throne, and they did not expect the other party to be so crazy that they wanted to confront the empire and the entire Holy See.

"Crazy, crazy!" The Marquis of Mortan shouted in horror, and immediately decided that he must unite his allies to make King Bazel change his mind and remove Hatar from the throne, otherwise the other party will only lead the kingdom of Hadrata into a dead end......

No one can stand up to God's wrath!
