"Shameful, despicable!" Edward said in front of Regina.

Regina was silent and did not reply, as a loyal courtier, he was not too surprised by this result.

Because he knows that there is no special harmony between Asturias and the Church of Light, the main reason is that the clergy and the royal power, as well as the clerical power and the rights and interests of the nobility, are not very consistent.

In other countries, too, clerical authority and other privileges are often at odds with each other, and sometimes they cooperate.

In Asturias, though, the situation is a little more special.

Because there are two churches in Asturias, and there is also a Church of the God of War.

Padarek's church has always been one of the strongest supporters of the royal family, but it is also one of the most dissatisfied with the royal family in the Church of Light.

There are two churches in one country, although the Church of the God of War is not as powerful as the Church of Light, but in Asturias, the Church of the God of War has the possibility of competing with the Church of Light.

So it is not surprising that the Church did not stand in Asturias at all this time, allowing Aurora and Saxon to infringe on Edward's interests, perhaps as a warning.

Not only in Yugudral, but also in Farushion, where the three great families of Asturias were the main battlegrounds.

But Titania brazenly joined, and the Church of Light also expressed its support, believing that as long as it is God's people, they have power.

The three families of Byron, Medici and Bourbon not only have to fight each other in Faroución, but also face the behemoth of Titania.

In the past, it didn't really matter, because in the past, most of them were in looting mode, and even if a stronger competitor came, it was just a matter of eating faster than anyone.

But the current model is the fish farming model, and Titania is an empire with a high concentration of royal power, and their aristocracy is not like Asturias, which is basically under the royal flag, so the three wealthy families feel unbearable.

However, the only benefit of these two events was that the great nobles of Asturias had a request for the royal family.

What they hoped for most was that the protest would be effective and that the Church of Light would prevent other countries from encroaching on the interests of Asturias.

This hope was actually impossible after Edward's return, and the Church of Light did not support Asturias at all, conniving at other countries.

Then the three noble families, and the other Asturian nobles who are eligible to participate in the war, have only one choice, unity.

When it comes to union, it's not that simple.

For example, how to distribute the interests between the three wealthy families, with the royal family, and with other noble families?

This must regain a royal power that the three wealthy families have long wanted to respect, the right to adjudicate among the nobles.

The exercise of the power of adjudication is one of the manifestations of royal power, in which the higher lord adjudicates disputes between the lower lords, and in the case of the king, it is the supreme ruling.

But over the years, for big families like Bourbon, Byron, and Medici, the chances of the royal family imposing rulings on them were almost none.

This situation can be imagined, so some of the three noble families are their own core, they oppose the royal family, so that the royal family has nothing to gain in parliament, and it is difficult to move administratively, giving another part of the aristocracy, such as the Spencer family, the opportunity to watch the excitement and be left and right.

From Edward's father Bruce to Edward himself, the rule of the domestic aristocracy relied on the royal family still firmly controlling most of the soldiers of the legion, as well as the firm support of the God of War Church, in order to always stabilize the three major wealthy families.

But if it continues like this, it will not necessarily be beneficial to the rule of the royal family, and it is difficult to predict what the outcome will be even when the royal family is weakened.

This time the church's favoritism is a bad thing, but sometimes bad things can't be exploited.

Although the overall strength of Asturias has always been inferior to the behemoth of Titania, strictly speaking, it is a line higher than Aurora and Saxon, but because the Saxons are completely kneeling to the Church of Light, and the nobles of Asturias are not united enough, they are weaker.

But this incident has brought an opportunity.

In the events of Farusion and Yugudral, the nobles of Asturias were told that this was the end of the lack of unity.

It's not just humiliation, it's the violation of naked interests.

This is not only a shame for the royal family, but also related to the interests of all nobles, and it is a reminder to everyone, including the three wealthy families.

No matter how arrogant they are, they can disrespect even the royal family, but when facing foreign opponents, others still see them as opponents.

Edward keenly grasped this, and he intended to exercise the royal power of the three great families.

For many years, the three great families did not give the royal family the opportunity to exercise their right to rule on him.

But this time is different, if in the face of the resistance of the original inhabitants of the different planes, in the face of rival competition, or even turn into war, in the face of the connivance of the church, and between the three great families, the Asturian nobles who participated in the plane conquest will still fight each other, instead of uniting, then the future of Asturias is undoubtedly worrying.

This was certainly not the best outcome for the three tycoons, but Edward was convinced that in this form, he could get the results he wanted and make them sent.

Because the three powerful families now need the royal family to stand up and exercise their decision, the three behemoths in Asturias are about the same strength as each other, and the royal family's adjudication and arbitration is an opportunity for them to put aside their interests and disputes, compromise with each other, and then unite to unite with the outside world.

And the royal family will also benefit from this, expanding the influence of royal power.

Of course, the core interest, the wealthy will definitely not let go, that is, the complete control of the territory and the army.

But they will obey the leadership of the royal family, unite in the name of the royal family, and jointly resist the invasion of foreign enemies and protect their own interests under the banner of the royal family.

Solomon's book of architecture and this incident collided together, and it was lucky for each other.

At another time, it would have taken a lot of effort to implement Solomon's book, and there was only an opportunity to take advantage of it, but without Solomon's book, there was a question mark over how much Edward would benefit from it.

It was not possible for Edward to encroach on the core interests of the nobles, but he could take advantage of some of the reforms in the book that benefited the royal family.

For example, it is required that all the noble lords can no longer set up checkpoints on domestic roads, and in this crisis that has just been slapped in the face by the church and other countries, in the name of asking the nobles to unite under the royal family, no nobles will stand up and resist for this, and it is not even possible to disobey the yang and the yin, because if they do this, they may become sinners who divide and unite, even Byron, Medici, and Bourbon.

Of course, it is not enough to rely solely on the enforcement of the power of adjudication.

"So, I have decided to teach the Church a deeper lesson!" said the ruler of Asturias, with a look of arrogance that gave him a twisted and hideous appearance like a bard.

".......Your Majesty" Regina hesitated to persuade Edward, although the church is hateful, and now it is necessary to use this to treat the church as an antagonist to urge the nobles to unite around the royal family, but the colossus of the church, even the Titanian royal family, which is more powerful than Asturias, has always been helpless.

"Don't persuade me anymore, I've had enough. Edward said coldly.

"Then what are you going to do?" Regina sighed inwardly, giving up the idea of persuasion.

Edward's bad image of the Church did not begin only now, and Reginer knew this better than most.

The struggle between royal power and clerical power is basically a matter of the east wind over the west wind in every country.

But Edward's hatred of the church was not just a struggle for power, for his life was also a victim in some way.

This king has legendary strength, has a great reputation, and is the supreme ruler himself.

But who knows, he even the choice of queen was interfered with by the church and tried to manipulate it.

** is a common thing for nobles, but a ruler like Edward, no matter how **, generally does not need to make a few queens.

His first queen was the marriage that Bruce chose for him when he was still a prince and had not yet risen to the rank of legend.

Coming from a neutral aristocratic family like Spencer, of course, the purpose is to help establish a close relationship with the family, so that more neutral nobles will fall over to the side of the royal family.

The three great families did not like it, but neither did the church, because what they needed was for the royal family to conform to the expectations of the church and marry a woman of Saxon royal and aristocratic blood.

But both Bruce and Edward refused, fearing that the Church would use the woman's relationship to increase its influence on Asturias, and even use the inheritance arising from the marriage to give the Saxons a chance to get their hands on Asturias one day.

This is not a completely unfounded worry, it is well known that Saxon is the most influential state of the Church, it can almost be called the Papal States, the supreme ruler is not the royal family on the surface at all, but in fact the center of the Church, and further down are those nobles who have betrayed the royal family and the state, kneeling and licking to the pope and cardinals, the royal family has long been turned into a puppet and has been set aside.

However, his first queen divorced him, ostensibly because the queen could not stand her husband's **.

But in fact, it may be that the family behind the queen is disappointed, and they want to get more from their marriage with the royal family than Edward gave them, for example, this family may want to become the fourth big family, like Bourbon, Byron, and Medici, but it is clear that the royal family cannot allow it.

Behind this, maybe the three wealthy families and the church have done something, maybe it is co-optation and inducement, false promises, in short, the queen successfully asked the church to divorce Edward.

The queen asked for a divorce from Edward, which, if successful, would be a blow to the royal family, and would make the neutral nobles lose confidence in the royal family and become even more distant.

What made the royal family even more angry was that the church did not hesitate to agree to the queen's request and declare the marriage null and void.

In this way, there is no actual evidence of what the three great families have done, but it is clear that the church has slapped the royal family and Edward in the face on this.

In fact, all that is required is a choice for the royal family and Edward to make, and perhaps the relationship with the church can be improved, that is, to abandon the Church of the God of War.

But neither Edward nor the royal family could have made this decision, as the Church of the God of War was actually one of the strongest supporters of the royal family.

Most of the royal family's control over the royal ** regiment, from top to bottom, many of the officers and commanders are from the God of War Church, and in terms of war priests, the God of War Church can also replace most of the role of the Light Church, and even have advantages in some aspects.

The most important thing is that the teachings of the Church of the God of War are completely different from the Church of Light, and it is much less of a threat to the royal power.
