Hubbard's news about Charlotte was much quicker than Austin had expected, and just as Austin and his party had left the hall of the lords, they had already returned to tell the story of the incident. Although the information is still somewhat simple, it is sufficient.

Hubbard's news simply said that because the village of Illidako had rioted and killed the tax collectors, the former lord led his army to encircle and suppress it, and then he was completely annihilated. The remaining nobles wanted to calm things down before Austin could fully control the place, so they invited Charlotte over, ran into Charlotte, and then the rest of the story.

"I've all made peace with others, and when I come out like this, how can I deal with the affairs of Ilidako Village? Fortunately, there is no trial, otherwise I would really have formed a mortal enemy." After listening to Hubbard's words, Austin said with a sigh of relief.

I thought I could find out something about witches, but I didn't expect that Charlotte's crime was far more serious than she thought. Looking at Charlotte's deeds, if you want to kill her, there is no need to judge this matter with a witch, and this kind of thing is a great crime in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, but why use the crime of witch? Could it be that this crime of witch is more serious than rebellion? It can't all rise to the level of a dispute between divine power and royal power? Or is it that there is something more serious in the matter of witch in it, and these people don't know about it?

The relationship between witches and the church, what is going on I need to figure it out, if I don't want to die if I want to be cool, in this world, I can't blindly be an enemy of the church, at least before the means to contain the church come out, blatantly be an enemy of the church, it's really cool and die.

As for the matter of witches, although Hawthorn knows a little more, but only a little more, the witch is a relatively confidential existence of the church, and the church only told the existence of witches, but did not tell why they did this, of course, communicating with the devil, Austin definitely does not believe that it is the real motive of the church, it is just a cover to fool everyone.

And if you want to know all this, you should ask the church directly, there are many mysteries in the matter, if it is not to maintain its own authority, then there must be an ulterior conspiracy behind this matter. And with his current status, he is not qualified to ask about this matter at all, but he is afraid that he can't even mention it, if it doesn't work, if there is really a conspiracy, the church must be able to let itself go, then there will be ghosts. Although he is a prince, he has been exiled here, and the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and he is only afraid that the down-and-out prince will not be taken seriously.

"Your Highness, since we know that Charlotte has committed such a great crime, we will judge, shall we?" Hubbard asked cautiously when he saw what Austin was thinking, for fear that he was doing something amazing.

"Well, it's supposed to be judged tomorrow, what's wrong?" Austin, who was distracted, said suspiciously after hearing Hubbard's words.

"That's good, that's good. Hubbard breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were going to release her from the church." ”

"Hubbard, you know what? Kingship is divinely bestowed, supreme. Austin spoke.

"Well, the royal power is divine, supreme. What's the matter, Your Highness?" Hubbard said, then looked at Austin suspiciously, not quite understanding why Austin said that, and then looked up at Austin in surprise, it seemed that Hubbard had understood what Austin said. The conflict between theocracy and royal power will never be absent, as long as there is a regime that is not ****, the royal power is not pressed by theocracy and has not resisted. The matter of Henry IV was not a special case.

In fact, it is very simple, the divine right is not the divine right of the church, but the divine right of the gods. Since the church does not represent the gods, but always messes around with the agents of the gods, it will naturally provoke the dissatisfaction of the royal power. This is to challenge the theocracy of the church.

"Your Highness, don't you want to challenge right here?" Hubbard figured out the meaning of Austin's words, and his heart that had just calmed down immediately flew again, this is really looking for death!

"Although I am more willful, I am not stupid enough to challenge the church with strong means at this time. Austin looked at Hubbard and said, "I want you to understand that our relationship with the church is one of cooperation, not their horses, which come and go as soon as they call it." With the support of the church, I can rule this town, and without the support of the church, I can still do. ”

Hubbard heard Austin's dissatisfaction, and immediately nodded and said, "Your Highness, I understand. ”

"However, your concerns are also very correct, in this small town of Tarma, it is remote and barren, and we are still weak, and it is really unwise to make enemies with the church. I'll go to church later and explain it to Bishop Manhard, I don't think they'll be too me. Austin said to Hubbard soothingly.

"Your Highness Xie understands. Hubbard calmed his nervousness and said.

"By the way, this matter was investigated very quickly, who found out. Although these are not secrets, it took less than an hour to find out, this efficiency, quite means, but a person who can be entrusted with important tasks.

"It's the second captain of the guard, Grecha. Hubbard said. The so-called prince's bodyguard is the royal guard of the fourth prince Austin, about fifty people, divided into three guards, the first guard is led by Hawthorn himself, and the one who protects Austin is the strongest, and the number is also the least, only ten. The second guard mainly protects the mansion from invasion, commonly known as the caretaker, this one is led by Gray, and this one is the largest number, with twenty-five people. The rest is the third guard, the number is seventeen, the strength is average, it belongs to the honor guard, it carries things when it travels, and it opens the way, this one is led by Arnold.

"Well, let's get him to join us later. Austin said.

"Yes"

When Austin left the hall of the lords, Gray handed over his affairs to his lieutenant and followed Austin to the dungeon.

After Austin and his party entered the dungeon again, they found that the stench had decreased a lot, and they saw that the jailers were busy cleaning there, Gray was here for the first time, so it was not clear what it was like before, but everyone else was shocked, and everyone knew that if this environment wanted to improve, it would not be possible to do it for a while, but I never expected that it would only take less than half a day to have such an effect.

"Your Highness......," said the jailer, who walked over with some trepidation.

Austin nodded and said, "Well, that's good. Go ahead. ”

When the jailer heard Austin's words with appreciation, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to busy.

Austin saw Charlotte again, and she was still the same, but no one should be despying this seemingly weak woman at this moment.

"We've inquired a little bit about you and learned a lot, but I'd like to hear what you have to say. Austin said.

After Charlotte heard Austin's words, she looked at Austin in surprise and said, "Rebellion, this, do you still want to hear why?"

"Well, I'd like to hear about it. Austin said, "I can't be ignorant of this kind of big thing." ”

"Well, since Your Highness wants to hear it, then I'll tell Your Highness about it. ”
