Senrigars Cathedral, side nave.

As soon as Prince Malthus appeared, he became the center of the party.

Many upper-class people took the initiative to come forward to greet and greet them softly.

All at once stole the limelight from Lady Belley.

Madame Belle seemed unconcerned about this, and silently stepped aside to talk to several noble ladies and ladies who were enjoying herself.

"Lady Belle, are you here? I'm sorry I didn't make it to the last party! ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Lady Bailey chuckled and shook her head, waving her hand slightly.

"Have you been available lately? I'm just coming back and I'm going to have a party, and I'm going to make amends to you when the time comes......"

The aristocratic lady in a pale green lace dress said softly with a smile.

On the other side of the side hall, Prince Malthus greeted everyone warmly, nodded in response, with a gentle smile on his face, and talked with a nobleman and business tycoon.

"Prince Malthus, long time no see, I'm ......"

"Hello, Prince Malthus, I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, I'm the Sith of the Northland Vistana......"

"Hello, Prince Malthus, I'm ......"

His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been known for his modesty, kindness, and gentleness, has a good reputation in the imperial capital, and often goes to almshouses and civilian areas to distribute donations and food, and is loved by many commoners, and is known as the most kind-hearted prince.

In the Salom Empire, because it is a republican system and a dictatorship, the king is above everything and has a veto power, but many things are still carried out by the two consuls, plus the senate and the tribune, so the trust and support of the people is the key to whether they can become the upper echelons of the empire.

The senators are the representatives of the aristocratic class, and they are also the implementation and embodiment of the interests of the nobility, and the lifelong senators are the solid bastions of the aristocratic power of the empire, and they are in charge of the operation of the treasury and all internal and external affairs, with a number of about 100 people, and are the power center of the entire empire.

Because civilians do not have the right to vote and be elected, the vast majority of the tribunes are also citizens, and these people are qualified to participate in the revision and promotion of national policies and the Constitution, and their power is comparable to that of ordinary nobles, with roughly 50 people.

But many people know that most of these people are also promoted by the nobles, and many citizens and commoners who serve as tribunes have relatives of the nobility, and even themselves are down-and-out nobles, but they have lost their title inheritance in the family.

The so-called protection of the people, in fact, is still the product of maintaining the aristocracy.

Under this deformed system, the aristocracy and citizens held the votes, and the ordinary commoners were not qualified to vote, so they could only passively accept it.

Of course, the resistance to reform is enormous.

Even this Malthusian prince could not bear this pressure, this pressure from the aristocratic class.

"Hello, nice to meet you."

Prince Malthus showed gentlemanly courtesy, and responded politely to those who came to visit.

This made many nobles and wealthy businessmen have a better sense of this prince.

These aristocratic and wealthy businessmen who took the initiative to come forward to talk about it, in fact, their status is not high, and the nobles are judged by their titles and merits, the higher the title, the higher the status, the greater the resources they can obtain, and the rich businessmen are almost all citizens, and a small number are commoners.

But in reality, when they are rich enough, they will find a way to get a knighthood, or become a citizen themselves, and reach the second estate.

The power of the commoners is too low, and after having wealth, it is easy to be taken away, and only citizens and nobles can go further.

This is also the reason why these people came to the imperial capital desperately.

As long as they can climb the great nobles of the empire, they will immediately be able to ascend to the sky in one step, even if it is a title, through marriage, trading and other means, they will also have the opportunity to obtain it.

Barons are the lowest of all titles, but even barons are noble.

In the imperial capital, the baron is nothing, but once he returns to other places, the identity of the nobleman is the object of countless people.

An only son like Hodge, who is destined to inherit the title of marquis, is actually very important among the younger generation.

If Hodge wants to, clap his hands, countless wealthy businessmen will give him away desperately, hoping that their daughters and collateral descendants can become Hodge's mistress, even if they have no name, it doesn't matter.

As long as they have this invisible identity, they are rich businessmen, and they can naturally be superior to others.

After all, the Marquis of Bach is one of the only nine remaining marquis of the empire, with a high status, a large area of fiefdoms, soldiers, horses, and manors, and is still a rare commoner nobleman, a nobleman who has risen by virtue of his military exploits.

"Madame Belle, why didn't you see the Marquis of Bach and Master Hodge?" Lady Nia also saw Lady Belle, who was also a member of the Holy Church, and naturally came to the celebration.

When Mrs. Bailey saw her and Bernard, the commander of the third division of the Royal Cavalry Regiment, she naturally remembered the turmoil of the previous few days in her mind, and was slightly stunned, then gathered her thoughts and responded softly: "They are still on the way, and there are still some things to deal with at home." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Nia nodded slightly, indicating understanding: "It should be." ”

Bernard, on the other hand, had a thoughtful expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Princess Leia also believes in the Holy Father, hasn't she arrived yet?" Lady Belley asked with some surprise as she looked around.

This kind of occasion is usually early arrival, after all, every Salom person has his own beliefs, unless there is something important to get rid of, otherwise this important celebration, almost all come to participate, pray for good luck, hoping to be blessed by the gods.

"I don't know, since the last incident, Princess Leia has rarely appeared, maybe she was frightened." Mrs. Nia explained, with a somewhat complicated expression.

What happened last time was also a shock for her.

Even if the Dickens family is really wiped out, in this case, the fate of their family can be imagined.

Because of this, her husband Bernard is willing to take action, follow Hodge's orders and arrangements, and deal with the enemy.

Because after knowing the truth, she knew that her family and the Dickens family were grasshoppers standing on the same line.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

"Is that so?" Lady Belle's brow furrowed slightly, apparently she didn't believe much of Lady Nia's words.

Although Her Royal Highness the princess is a woman, her behavior is very magnificent, very in-depth and extraordinary, and she is by no means a canary in a cage, although she is not clear about the sequence level, but it is obvious that she must be extraordinary.

As an extraordinary being, having experienced the baptism of potions, he will never have the courage to do so.

The sudden disappearance of Princess Léa made Madame Belle feel a little upset, thinking of Hodge and Marquis Bach's sudden request to reduce the number of people to go, and before leaving, the two also went to the underground secret room together, and Madame Belle suddenly had some bad premonitions.

Could it be that the Easter celebrations at Senricarers Cathedral will go wrong?

This absurd idea is gone in a flash.

Madame Belle quickly shook her head, not daring to continue thinking.

If even the Holy Church's Senricars Cathedral were to fail, there would be few places in the entire empire that would be safe......
