Let's turn our gaze back to the kingdom of Randall. At this moment, in the lounge of the Cathedral of Light, Germain and the vicar were engaged in a battle on the chessboard.

"The day is getting closer and closer for the princess to complete the Colossus. ”

The vicar is well aware of Jermain's nature, although at the cost of having countless handles in his own hands. But because of this, he can be said to be Jermain's confidant, and he understands that his master's good life is not long away.

"Ah, that's right. ”

However, Germain in front of him did not look worried, but played chess with him leisurely. Randall Battle Chess is a game that looks a lot like chess, except that it has a lot of fantasy pieces, such as the mage or the dragon.

"And then, when are you going to roll up and leave, Captain?"

"What do you say, my dear vicar. Even if the princess does become an archmage and comes back, to be honest, I will only continue to be my Paladin Master at most. ”

Germain said lightly, as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

The deputy bishop frowned, the other party was right, even if Isabella really became an archmage and came back, at most she would cancel the marriage contract, and a figure like Germain, as the son of the three nobles, would have any obvious handle in his hand, and it would be impossible to do it.

But...... As soon as he thought that the other party was going to stop there, his heart was filled with reluctance - Germain became king, and then he became the next Archbishop of Randall. What a good script it was, he had dreamed of such a scene in his dreams more than once and woke up laughing.

"Have you misunderstood something, dear Lord Vicar?"

"Huh?"

"At best. But that doesn't mean I'm willing to accept such an ending. So it doesn't hurt to have that sweet dream of yours for a little longer. ”

Germain said. while eating one of the other party's pawns.

"No kidding, what else can you do now?"

Maybe it's because the thoughts in my heart are guessed. A nameless fire broke out in the bishop's deputy's heart. He raises the piece representing the knight and attacks on the chessboard.

"Hey, my vicara, isn't it obvious? I'd doubt your ability if you couldn't even think of it. ”

Jermain smiled.

"It's hard to ...... Are you going to ......?"

Of course, there are ways, and the vicar himself knows it. However, it was a great rebellion - the overthrow of the current King Randall VI. That's right, Princess Isabella will become an archmage, and returning as an archmage means the dissolution of the marriage. Then the only way for Germain now is to rebel and completely overthrow the rule of Randall's royal family. He would naturally become a king.

However, this is not realistic, although Randall is being attacked by the Holy Cult, but if he wants to complete a rebellion, it is still not something that a single Paladin Leader can do, let alone ......

"Will your group of paladins really rebel with you?"

Yes, the Paladins are a group of people full of faith and conviction, and it is not easy to encourage them to rebel.

"Alas...... You're a big mistake in your question, use your brain, Lord Bishop. How many years have I been in the position of Paladin?

Those voices that might oppose it, even if they are dealt with at a rate of one in three months, are still ......."

Germain shook his head and raised his knight to eat his knight.

[Are the people who may be against it "eaten"?]

However, even if I understood the meaning of Jermain's words. The vicara, however, could not let go.

"But what about the reason for the rebellion? What about military power? You shouldn't rely on a single knight order to start a rebellion, right? If you want to shake Randall, you must at least have three lords of the noble rank involved. ”

That's right, even if the contradictions within the Paladins are resolved. But there is still a long way to go to achieve the goal. The kingdom of Randall is impregnable, even if a small knight order rebels. Repression is nothing more than a snap of a finger. Not to mention, if there is not a suitable reason. This is also morally untenable.

"You're right, the reason is important, fortunately I don't need to look for it, in fact, there are two more people than me who can't wait to carry out a coup d'état. ”

Germain shrugged.

"Two ...... Who are the two!?????

Germain's words were like a bolt from the blue to the ears of the vicar, and he could never have imagined that there would be people in such a solid country who would want to start a rebellion.

[No...... Wait, that guy...... If that's the person......]

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind......

"Arman, is it the Duke of Arman!"

He screamed.

"That's right, this morning's punishment for the defeat of Duke Arman and the Iron Wing Knights in Moloch Harbor has been handed down. Unfortunately, the Britt family was stripped of their dukedoms. ”

Germain shrugged his shoulders, the king was furious at the fall of Moloch Harbor, and just this morning he announced the demotion of Arman Britt to the rank of earl, and the deprivation of a considerable fief.

"Oh my God, it's horrible, and it's so thoughtless. How could His Majesty make such a ...... Ah, it's horrible. ”

The deputy bishop held his head with his hands and kept trembling, it was definitely not interesting to demote one of the three nobles by two levels in a row, even if the Britt family was greatly damaged after the poisoning incident in the tournament, but it was not so simple to die.

"That's right, that's too hasty, and I want me to say that after losing the Dawning Blade, the knighthood is the last bottom line for the Britt family, let alone being downgraded by two levels.

I knew that His Majesty wanted to weaken the rights of the three nobles, but it was still too aggressive. ”

"Isn't there anyone who opposes it?

"There were people who objected, but at that time His Majesty was in a state of complete anger, and as for me, honestly, not adding fuel to the fire was already the limit. ”

"So that's what you're trying to do, to instigate a rebellion against the Britt family, who have lost their titles, but don't forget, Lord Arman is not like you, he's a loyal knight, even if he suffers injustice...... It may be unjust, but as long as his loyalty remains, he will not betray Randall. ”

The vicar shook his head, and although he was reluctant to give up his dream of bishopship, he grew scared again when the likelihood of rebellion grew. He opposes Germain in a tone that tries to convince himself, and then raises the flag representing the general and eats the opposing knights.

"Be faithful, save it, my dear vicar. The so-called loyalty is clearly priced, and as long as the price is exceeded, it is not much more difficult to buy faithfulness than to buy a piece of cheese. At least I can conclude that if family and loyalty were to be put on the scales, Arman would choose the former. ”

Germain shook his head and ate the opposing general's with his own.

"But...... But this is not enough! Randall's military force is mainly composed of the three nobles and His Majesty, even if Lord Arman launches a rebellion, he alone will not be able to compete with the remaining two nobles and His Majesty. ”

"Alright, alright, don't be so forgetful, Lord Bishop. That's right, even if Arman rebelled, it wouldn't be able to shake the remaining two nobles and the royal family, and I think this is also the reason why His Majesty decided to use the knife against Arman, to be honest, if it weren't for the threat of the Holy Sect there, this move would still be very beautiful. But have you forgotten, I said that it was not a single person who had a reason to rebel. ”

"Impossible, the children of the Fareen family are now in Mage City with the princess, and at present, Duke Brown and His Majesty can be said to be the closest among the three nobles, and there is no reason to raise the anti-flag at all. As for the rest...... Hmph, even if I am helping you, I still want to say that Bishop Albin is different from you, he is a saint, a true saint, and will never fulfill your ambitions for any personal reasons!"

Even in the quagmire of Germain, Bishop Albin is still like the sun, which makes the vicar feel dazzling. As if he didn't want his idol to be tarnished, he spoke fiercely, grabbed the chess piece representing the bishop on the chessboard, and viciously ate Germain's general.

"Ah, ah, I'm so relieved to see your reaction. ”

"What...... What do you mean?"

"I mean, if even those of you who follow your father outwardly and secretly go along with me worship him so much, the people in the Order will be even more fanatical, and if those people are so fanatical that they would worship your father as an idol more than the goddess of light, it will be much easier to rebel. ”

"How ......"

"You mean to say how could my father, Bishop Albin, rebel, right? tsk, tsk, tsk, so the so-called worship is an emotion that is far from understanding.

You worship the Father, but you don't understand Him at all. Let me sue you, yes, the saint is incorruptible, righteous, and will never conspire with evil. However, it is precisely because of this that even the kingdom, if it is an enemy of the world, will attract the wrath of the saints. ”

Germain shook his head and raised the bishop in his hand to eat the opposing bishop.

"Just this morning, His Majesty, in addition to stripping the title of Duke of Arman, also dismissed one of his father's mentions. Well...... This is of course, and if I were the king I would not have agreed, after all...... His father, Tiyì Majesty, renounced the war and formed an alliance with the Holy Church. ”

"What...... What ......"

Completely incomprehensible, the vicar he could not understand the meaning of Germain's words at all.

And just then, the sound of unhurried footsteps was remembered in the hallway, the door was pushed open, and Bishop Albin walked into the room, looked at the two of them, and said:

"Are you all there? It just so happens that I want to tell you something -- I'm going to make a coup d'état. ”

The bishop's words were calm, but they also showed his determination.

"If it's you, father, there must be some reason, let's talk about it.

It just so happened that our chess game was over - the general. ”

Germain smiled and stood up after eating the opposing king's pawn with a piece representing the paladin. (To be continued......)
