Chapter 4: The Coup d'état of the Holy Church of Salman

The Republic of Isha is located at the northwest tip of the kingdom of Randall, and it takes at least ten days to reach the capital Randall, at the speed of a griffin on weekdays.

However, for Leah, who has mastered the magic of time and space, all it takes is a short moment to get there.

On this day, she came to the capital city of Randall. The purpose was to discuss something about the Republic with Isa.

The teleportation crystal, which had not been in operation for a long time, was suddenly activated, and for a while, the guards in the palace, led by Rebecca, held weapons and surrounded the teleportation crystal.

However, when the maiden recognized the teleporter, the vigilance disappeared, and the guards withdrew their weapons in the highest respect for Randall's hero.

"Is Isa here, Rebecca?"

Leah asked. Rebecca had been Isa's personal bodyguard before, and she was glad to have met the girl.

"Her Majesty is in the Royal Library, do you want me to inform her, Your Majesty will be glad to have you here, Lord Leah. ”

Rebecca said.

"No, in that case, let me give her a little surprise. ”

Leah blinked and walked in the direction of the Royal Library.

At this time, Isabella is immersed in an old book, and although politics occupies most of her life as queen, she still finds time to supplement some magical knowledge in her spare time.

"Guess, guess, I, yes, who?"

At that moment, a pair of small hands covered her eyes from behind. The familiar voice made the queen shudder, but she threw her head back playfully, letting her hair rest on the girl's chest.

"The touch, huh...... Leah?"

"What are you judging by that, my dear Isa. ”

Leah suddenly said with a smile in her eyes.

"Oh, dear Leah, even if I searched all Randall, there was no better pillow than you. ”

"Yes, yes, I am the Queen's well-behaved, cute, smart and clever little breast pillow. ”

Isha leaned on Leah's chest, and Leah took Isha in her arms, and after the two looked at each other for a while, Isha slowly spoke:

"Welcome back, dear Leah. ”

"Well, I'm back, dear Isa. ”

So little Lori also responded with a smile.

Regarding the affairs of the Isa Republic, the two did not have much to talk about, and all matters hit it off. After that, the princess gave up reading and took Leah to wander around the royal capital.

All it takes is a small magic to reduce the sense of presence, so that the celebrities of the royal capital do not have to suffer from the pain of the paparazzi and fans like the stars on the planet.

"You look hungry. ”

Leah enjoyed the delicious taste of Randall's flame steak and made a sound of satisfaction, and Isabella looked at little Lori and said with a smile.

"As a gladiator, I ate bean porridge for too long. Truth be told, the food in the Duchy of Federo is poignant, and the best is nothing more than fish and chips. ”

Leah sighed. I hate to admit it, but the Republic of Isa is also a place of dark cuisine, and while food making can alleviate some of the frustrations associated with snack food, it is also imperative to bring in some skilled chefs.

"Yes, yes, I've heard your story as a gladiator, and it's my name. ”

The queen couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Leah infiltrating the gladiator group under the pseudonym "Isha", as Isha herself.

"Ahaha......"

In this regard, little Lori laughed dryly twice.

"Speaking of the Isa Republic, I would like to remind you of one thing, Leah. ”

Queen said:

"Please don't tell Leona the truth about that republic. ”

The queen was referring to the fact that there were essentially vampires and werewolves involved in the leadership of the Isa Republic.

"yes, looks like she's been looking for you?"

Leah sighed, she actually understood in her heart the purpose of Isha's words.

"That's right, she suggested that I raise an army against the Republic of Isa. Leah's heart is too soft, there must still be some vampires hidden in that country. But whether they are good or not, the offenders of the taboo are unforgivable. These were her exact words. ”

Isabella sighed.

"She really knows me. ”

Leah smiled wryly.

"I told her that the kingdom does not have the strength to continue the war, especially since the Holy Church of Salman has just had a serious coup d'état. However, Leah, if you let Leona know the actual situation in the Isa Republic, I can hardly guarantee that she will not send troops without permission. ”

Isabella said solemnly.

"I understand. ”

Leah nodded. As with ancient Western politics on Earth, "My vassal's vassal is not my vassal" is a famous saying that causes headaches for most kings. In the kingdom of Randall, the Blackwing Knights' allegiance is Leona, and Leona is loyal to Isabella. If Count Blackwing had gone his way, her knights would not have frowned, for they had pledged allegiance to Leona rather than the Queen herself.

This is also the reason why when Randall rebelled, the two nobles could betray so simply, and there was little opposition from their subordinates.

"Wait, Isha, what did you just say happened to the Salman Holy Cult?"

There was one more thing in the Queen's words that Leah had to care about.

"It was a coup d'état, a conspiracy, and the vampires corrupted the pope. That old man was willing to become a member of the blood clan for the sake of eternal life, and was finally exposed. Overnight, the whole of the Holy Church was transformed, and under the joint trial of Archbishop Lambertson and the chief knight LaGrange, the Pope, along with his faction, and the vampires were burned to ashes. ”

"I smelled the man in this matter. ”

Leah shook her head.

"Sure enough, that's what you think, do you want to hear worse news?"

"And?"

"The new pope is Germain Bartley. ”

"Wait, there's no one in the Holy Church of Salman, and they're willing to make a nobleman who defected from Randall their leader?"

Leah asked, puzzled.

It is said that the nobles supported the inauguration of Archbishop Vanessa Lambertson to the pontifia, but Bishop Vanessa seems to have been too indifferent to fame and fortune, and refused on the grounds that he was too old. And...... It was he who elected Germaine Bartley. Coupled with the fact that the Templar chief Esphia LaGrand also favored the man, there was little room for reversal. ”

Isabella said depressedly.

"It seems that he hugged two nice thighs with the money he stole from the treasury. But what about the Holy Maiden? Maribel Monguelite also relinquished the Pope?"

In Leah's opinion, even if the archbishop gave up, the saint herself would be more justified than Germain.

"I've inquired about it, and it's said that ...... Maribel wasn't even a nobleman until she became a saint. ”

"Oh no. ”

Leah covered her face with her hands helplessly, and the greater gap between the nobles of other countries and the nobles of her own country was between the nobles and the commoners. Compared with Germain, who was a nobleman by birth, Maribel, who was born as a commoner, was even more unacceptable to the nobles of the Holy Church. If she knew that the Holy Maiden was even a pirate, she would only understand the ways of the Holy Sect better.

"I knew the man wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

In the end, little Lori shook her head, and accepted this fact.

"But he's not a fool either, no matter what his ambitions, at least I believe that Germain won't continue to fight Randall's idea, then for us, it's just an internal matter of the Salman Holy Cult. ”

Isabella smiled.

"That's right, I care more about the Chimera Order and the Rain Lady than the Holy Cult. ”

Leah also shrugged her shoulders, now that Germain had left Randall, even if he became the leader of the Holy Cult, with Germain's ingenuity, he would not choose to clash with Randall again.

"What are you going to do next?"

Speaking of the Chimera Order and Yuhime, Isabella's expression became serious.

"With your help, the Republic of Isa will soon stabilize. After making sure that Cyrus can be on his own, I plan to travel to Mage City to join Hanufain in encircling the Chimera Order and improving my own strength to ensure that I can defeat Yuhime in the future. ”

Leah said.

"So we're going to part again?"

Isha puffed out her mouth.

"Oh, my dear Isa, I'd like to stay with you all the time, but it's clear that we don't have a choice. ”

Little Lori smiled helplessly, she reached out and rubbed the princess's bulging cheeks. (To be continued.) )
