Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Flames of Nakans
Linya took Orlando's arm and happily left the academy's classroom office building. Linya is now worshiping this little brother of hers, but I didn't expect him to look really scary when he was angry!
"Linya, you are so unspeakable, too willful! Do you know how dangerous it was last night, what if something happens to you, Father, Mother, and us? They will die of grief!" Orlando lectured her.
"I'm not fine right now!" Linya said, pouting.
"That's good luck this time! If his magic works, you...... Alas!" Orlando shook his head when he thought about it, "That stinky boy of Rofitte, I will definitely teach him a good lesson the next time I see him! It's so hateful! If he wasn't the crown prince of the Bright Moon Empire, I would have to kill him!" Orlando gritted his teeth.
Hehe, this little brother also has a time when he bursts into foul language! Linya felt sweet in her heart when she heard it, happy and happy. Father, mother, and this little brother all hurt me so much, but why didn't anyone on the earth Xiao Yuan hurt me? Alas, the girl is really good, it's a pity...... Belch...... Belch......
Linya originally wanted to tell him the secret that she had an angelic heart, but thinking that he didn't even know that he had wings now, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, so it would be better to wait for the opportunity to tell him slowly. Thinking of the inquisition that made people smell so bad, Linya couldn't help but ask, "Brother Orlando, what is that Inquisition?"
Orlando's face sank again, and he thought for a moment and said, "That...... How so...... The Inquisition was a court established shortly after the establishment of the Holy See to try heretics, and was usually run by the more radical part of the See. The main duty of the Inquisition was to judge the infidels, not the indigenous pagans of Glesia, but those who had believed in the doctrine of the Light but had later betrayed it.
"The Inquisition was known for its cruelty, and those who were accused of being heretics by the Inquisition usually had a miserable outcome, with severe punishments, and those who were eventually found guilty of betraying the teachings of the Light were to be burned and put to death. The fanatical religion and the Inquisition have always been evil because of this...... Notoriety. Although the powers of the Inquisition were greatly limited and reduced after the Reformation, they still enjoyed high privileges.
"The Inquisition is one of the most important constituent forces of the Holy See, a violent institution reserved by the Holy See to guarantee control over people's thoughts, to deter the so-called weak-willed. Thus this fanatical court, though it has never done much good and has been hated by everyone from the king to the general public, has always retained it and upheld its authority. At this point, Orlando had kept his voice to a minimum, but by this time they had already walked out of the academy, surrounded by Janissary knights, and even if they heard it, it would be fine.
"Wow, isn't that why Rofitt is going to be unlucky?" said Linya excitedly.
"No!" Orlando shook his head, "no matter how powerful the Holy See is, it is only a religious organization after all, and since the Reformation, there is no comparison with secular government." They wouldn't offend an empire after all, and then Rofet was the crown prince of the Bright Moon Empire, just as it would be impossible for us to kill him - that would inevitably lead to a war with an empire.
"Moreover, the Holy See does not allow the study and use of certain dark magic, but it does not prohibit all dark magic. For the practice of certain dark magics inevitably involves the worship of the dark god Balles, which is not allowed by the Holy See's doctrine of light. Therefore, it is barely understandable that the Holy See has a limited ban on dark magic. Moreover, there is no conclusive evidence that Roffet worshipped the dark god of Ballis when he studied dark magic, so I suspect that this trial of Roffet may be the result of this one: Roffett completes the registration of dark magic in the Holy See, apologizes, and must pay a large amount of atonement. That's how it should be. ”
"Cheap that stinky guy!" Linya said angrily. "Then there is no way, who called him the crown prince! But the Bright Moon Empire will come to the hands of this crown prince who is causing trouble everywhere...... I'm so worried about his empire!hehe!" Orlando laughed.
"By the way, Brother Orlando, I still have a question!" Linya thought for a moment and said, "You and that Matthew both said that because of this diplomatic insult incident, why do you reserve the right to declare war, what does that mean?"
Orlando smiled and said, "That's right, in the Holy See's Treaty of Light Doctrine, all Light Doctrine country houses are not allowed to have a civil war - the civil war here refers to the civil war of the Light Doctrine, which is to unite all the Light Doctrine countries to deal with the needs of the infidels, of course, this is also impossible. Humans are greedy creatures, no ruler will refuse more territory and wealth, and as long as human greed remains, wars will not end. The same is true among the nations of the Light Doctrine.
"Just as it takes no reason to wage war against the infidels, it takes a reason, or excuse, to wage war against other light doctrines. The Holy See will support the war of any Enlightened Nation against any of the infidel nations, but will not support the war of other Enlightened Nations, and will condemn those who start such wars without any reason, and may punish them according to their circumstances, such as an arms trade embargo, or calling on other nations to unite against the initiating of the war, etc. If a nation starts a war against another nation for no reason, it may not gain more than it loses, and if it wins, it will leave a bad name on the Holy See and other nations, which may be deemed to be less loyal to the doctrine of light. If the country goes too far and regularly invades other nations, the Holy See may even declare it a heretic and call on all other Light Doctrine nations to crusade against it. This is not without precedent in history.
"However, if there is sufficient justification for war between the states of the Doctrine of Light, the Holy See will usually take a neutral position, after all, it is impossible for the Holy See to stop the greedy desires of those rulers, and the existence and prestige of the Holy See will depend on the support of the majority of nations. The casus belli between the two countries is quite important, and usually territorial disputes are the best casus belli, such as the war between Sachnea and Nakans, which was caused by the territorial ownership of Tandonshire.
"Originally occupied by an indigenous pagan tribe in the border area of Sachania and Demos, Tandon County was not eradicated by the two countries until five years ago due to its complex terrain and remoteness. The Holy See of course strongly supported the war to destroy this pagan tribe, and called on other countries to give them assistance, but after the extermination of the infidels, both countries claimed sovereignty over the land, and all the Holy See could do was send emissaries to reconcile them, temporarily drawing a line of demarcation. But in the event of a future war between the two countries over the region, the Holy See will of course stand firmly on a neutral side.
That's where casus belli comes in. The reason for the war between the two countries is a territorial dispute, but there will also be some other reasons, such as trade disputes, border conflicts, succession to the throne, diplomatic incidents, etc., this time the matter between you and Narofitte is a very strict diplomatic insult incident, this kind of thing, even if it can be a small thing, it can also be a big thing, and it is possible to become a casus belli. This incident is the fault of the Bright Moon Empire, so I took the opportunity to reserve an excuse for our empire to declare war on the Bright Moon Empire, but this excuse seems to be useless, our two countries do not share a border, there is a Cessnia and Rogia in between, and the sea is thousands of miles away, so there is no possibility of war. But it is also necessary to retain this casus belli, and if we can use this casus belli to extort some practical benefits from the Mingyue Empire in exchange for us giving up this casus belli, it will also be beneficial. ”
Alas, this thing is really complicated and insidious enough, but in other words, this qiē is just for one thing - profit!
Before you know it, Momiji Castle is already in front of you. Just as he was about to enter the castle, the newsboy, who came to deliver the newspaper every day, ran over, bowed, and said, "Beautiful princess, I have brought you today's paper." Today there is news about your homeland, the Red Leaf Empire!"
"Oh, thank you then!" Linya took the Violet Daily from Namia's hand, and when she saw the headline on the front page, it turned out to be: The Red Leaf Empire is in danger of attacking the Red Leaf Empire in three ways!
