Chapter Ninety-Four: The Miraculous Investigation Mission
In Linya's impression, her father was a kind and approachable person, he would never show the majesty of the so-called emperor in front of him, and he would never scold himself, even if he did anything wrong and caused no matter how big the disaster was.
It was such an impression that a good old man had an eruption like a volcano today.
Those simple words are full of such fiery love.
On weekdays, Emperor Hermann was not a person who was good at expressing feelings, and he showed his love for his daughter more in the subtle aspects of life, as well as in the endless loving gaze.
But today, the emperor of the empire has become a completely different person, and his face has become distorted by this angry emotion, and it looks terrible.
Seeing the appearance of his daughter, Emperor Hermann suddenly realized his gaffe, and hurriedly greeted him, and said apologetically: "Ah, Linya, my dear daughter, are you okay? I'm really sorry to scare you, right?"
Linya's mood is like a huge wave on the sea. The fiery family affection shook the deepest part of her soul like a tide.
Linya rushed up and threw herself into her father's arms, arms wrapped around his strong and powerful back, tears of happiness coming out of her eyes.
"Father...... Uh-huh......"
There is no language to express my excitement, only such a sincere hug to repay this deep affection.
Emperor Herman's body was also shocked, and then, a feeling of happiness enveloped his whole body, closed his eyes, and hugged his daughter in his arms affectionately.
The people around quietly retreated and gently closed the door, leaving a separate space for the father and daughter.
"I'm sorry, Linya, I'm scared, right? Father promised not to be so fierce next time!" Emperor Herman was still a little annoyed by his actions just now, he seemed to be too impulsive to hold back.
"No, Father, I'm so happy, thank you, Father! I know that Father loves Linya the most! Actually, ...... I'd love to kick that fat-headed, big-eared guy in the ass!" Linya said with a wink of tears as she left her father's embrace with a happy smile on her face.
"Haha! I have the same mind as my father, and I can't help but laugh when Emperor Herman sees his daughter's happy appearance.
"Ah, that's it...... This is a complete fall out with the Bright Moon Empire. It would be a real problem for them to collude with the Holy See against us. Linya said with some concern.
"That can't be helped. That hateful guy of Rofitte dares to hurt my Linya like this, I will never forgive him, let alone give Linya to him, absolutely not. Besides, this incident was originally a diplomatic insult provoked by the Bright Moon Empire, how could my father tolerate their rampantness! Besides, I really didn't take those hoplites of the Bright Moon Empire seriously, if they dare to come, let them taste the power of the Red Leaf Iron Horse!" Herman clenched his fists and comforted his daughter with confidence.
At dinner, Empress Isabel found that the relationship between the father and daughter was much closer, and Emperor Hermann, who didn't like to talk much, never stopped, and the two kept chatting about various topics, and the daughter kept serving food to her father, which was really surprising.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you and Linya today? It seems that we have changed people?" When it was time to go to bed, the queen couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, I somehow couldn't hold back my anger today, and beat up the ambassador of the Bright Moon Empire who came to propose again, but Linya who was eavesdropping saw it. So...... She looked so happy. "Emperor Hermann, of course, would not hide these things from his wife.
"Hehe, since Linya came back from the last time she escaped from marriage, she seems to be a different person, and she is very clingy to me. It can be seen that Linya is a girl who values emotions very much, and she will definitely be a filial daughter in the future. Isabel also said how she felt.
"Ah, yes, it's a little bit bigger. ”
It's another day and it's begun. However, Linya's progress in magic cultivation was too slow, and seeing those various magical elemental spirits circling around her, Linya really had little interest in training them.
Ah, this world is really boring! There is nothing interesting at all! Of course, this is for Xiao Yuan from another world.
Linya pretended to be concentrating on summoning elemental spirits with her spiritual power, but in fact, she was taking this opportunity to use her spiritual power to wander around the castle, looking for something fun, or something fun, or ...... Eavesdropping on other people's conversations, hehe.
It's a bit of a bad taste. But at least eavesdropping on other people's whispers is more fun than practicing magic.
However, I suddenly felt that Suzanne was in a hurry, something was wrong.
The door to the cabinet room was opened. Suzanne walked in and saluted Emperor Herman.
"Susanna, what's the matter? What's wrong with Linya?" Although it was said that this was a very important meeting, I heard that Suzanne also had something important to report about Linya, so I temporarily interrupted the cabinet meeting and let her in.
The current situation, as long as it is about Linya, no matter how big or small, is a big deal for the empire, and it is impossible to ignore anything.
"That's right, Your Majesty the Emperor. On the way to the castle, I met a thief -- let's just say that, he stuffed me with a note, and I thought it necessary to give it to His Majesty directly. Suzanne said as she handed the note over.
Just a few simple words: "Beware of the Templar Thorns".
Linya seems to have heard of this when she was in Millis, and Suzanne and the others mentioned it when they introduced some knowledge of the Holy See to Linya.
The Templar Thorn, rumored to be a secret assassination organization affiliated with the Holy See, deals with those who cannot be tried and executed in public by the Holy See. Historically, there have been occasional disappearances or deaths of powerful people who have opposed the Holy See, and this rumor has been born. Of course, all previous rumors about the Templar Thorn were just rumors, and no one was able to really see the true colors of the Templar killers.
"Obviously, the person who sent this letter had good intentions, after all, if that thing didn't exist, why bother to create such a panic for no reason? The cabinet ministers who were attending the meeting began to discuss.
"It is also clear that this letter is not directed at me, and I am not qualified to use the Holy See's secret assassination organization to assassinate me, and it is clear that the target of this letter is Her Royal Highness Princess Linya. The messenger didn't have a chance to get close to the princess, so he sent me a police message. Suzanne analyzed.
"In this case, the person who sent the letter should be someone from within the Holy See, and this Templar Thorn should indeed exist!"
Such a reaction from the Holy See is quite normal and understandable. In this case, the safety and security of Her Royal Highness Princess is even more important!"
"Therefore, Her Royal Highness the Princess's current situation is indeed very dangerous! If she can successfully assassinate Her Royal Highness, this will be the easiest and most effective way for the Holy See to deal with this crisis! It is completely understandable that the Holy See has adopted this method in the first place. We can also be sure that the sender's intentions were good-intentioned. His ability to know about the actions of the Templar Thorn suggests that he must be a high-ranking member of the Holy See, but the manner in which he sent the letter clearly indicates that he does not want to reveal his identity to us. It would be nice if I could get in touch with him......" The Saranca Magister summed up.
"It is true that there are many religious fanatics in the Holy See, but those people can now become the object of our unity and division, after all, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the reincarnation of the great Moon Goddess on earth! In fact, although we are afraid of the Holy See, the Holy See is also afraid of us, because the Holy See may also be divided because of the existence of Her Royal Highness the Princess! This can be exploited. ”
"From Millis, the Holy See has taken action. Our spies have heard rumors that two cardinals have departed from the holy city of Odin in Atlantas, as if to form a miracle investigation team to verify the identity of Her Royal Highness Princess Linya......"
"The Miraculous Investigation Mission, which is an organization that is affiliated with the Holy See like the Inquisition, investigates and verifies the people, things, and phenomena that claim miracles everywhere?"
"Ah, is it true that the Holy See is ready to recognize the identity of Her Royal Highness Princess Linya, the Moon Goddess? You know, in thousands of years, I have never heard of a miracle recognized by the Holy See!"
Facts have also proved that the so-called miracles that have occurred in the past are actually false. However, of course, our princess is a real goddess. I just never thought that this organization would still exist? Could it be that the Holy See is looking for a step down? If that is the case, it would be a good thing. I'm afraid that this is just a method used by the Holy See to paralyze us. ”
"You can't have that illusion. The Holy See wants to declare our country of light faith as infidels, and that also requires sufficient and justified reasons. Perhaps, this investigation team is here to make excuses for the Holy See, so I believe that there should be no slackening in the recruitment and training of the army, and that the defense of the border areas should continue to be strengthened. ”
"The fact that the Templar Thorn and the Miracle Investigation Mission appeared at the same time is enough to illustrate the true purpose of the Holy See. The first choice is to assassinate Her Royal Highness the princess and relieve them of the crisis; the second choice is to use the guò miracle investigation team to deny the princess's identity as a god, and then remove the light of our empire on charges of blasphemy and the Holy See, and then launch a holy war to unite the countries against us! Therefore, there must be no illusions, and everyone must have a clear understanding of the nature of those gods!"
Listening to the discussion, it seems that the huge impact of the sensational performance I made at Millis last time is showing up step by step. The Red Leaf Empire, the Holy See, and a full-scale confrontation seem to be about to begin.
A world war caused by herself? Linya couldn't help but feel a little worried.
As the core initiator of this whole incident, he has always been a little confused, feeling that it is not about himself, and he has no sense of crisis and responsibility at all.
Linya was a little embarrassed.
"Another thing, the investigation in Millis is in trouble, and there is no clue to the leak of the conversation between Princess Linya and Princess Alice. The man who brought the Philosopher's Stone to the court guard was a newsboy, but we waited until three days later to find the body of the newsboy in the moat of Millis, his throat cut by a sharp weapon......" Foreign Secretary Rowlet continued his report.
Hearing this, Linya was taken aback. There is indeed a big conspiracy that has always existed!
"One more thing, our ambassador to the Bright Moon Empire sent back the news from three days ago that Emperor Claire and Prince Rofete of the Bright Moon Empire are leaving for our Red Leaf Empire to come in person......"
"What?" the crowd was clearly surprised by the news. "What is Emperor Claire doing here in Laiya? Didn't we just completely tear our faces with the Bright Moon Empire? It's really incomprehensible!"
"What?" said Linya, too, and jumped to her feet. Rofitte, that's such a nasty name.
"What's the matter, Sister Linya?" Alice was startled by Linya's sudden scream.
"Ah...... No, nothing. Sister Alice, and Teacher Kaisa, I suddenly felt a little unwell, so I'll go back and rest first!"
