Otherworldly White Dragon Lord
Chapter 998
The two brothers, who used to fight secretly for the throne with their brothers, now when the throne is within reach, Dean, as the second prince, chose to retreat in order to protect his life, so he gave up the throne. Own brother.Full text reading
This sounds really ironic, but Isano Liston doesn't think Dean is joking this time.
"Surely protect yourself~ Why did you make such a decision? Your Highness!" Isaio took a deep breath and looked at Dean meaningfully.
"...Why?" A mumbled post-dean smiled helplessly: "Isn't it obvious that the royal family's reputation is crumbling, and now that throne is simply a fire pit, and the brother is fascinated by power. I want to sit on it at all costs, but I see more places."
For a while, Isano couldn't help but his eyes widened, and the cardinal became speechless with an expression as if he had met Dean for the first time.
It seems that after witnessing the power of the gods, some of the concepts that Prince Dean had established in his daily life have been completely overturned. He originally thought that those towering walls and strong soldiers could guard his own safety, but originally thought that it was absolutely impossible to be forced by external forces. The shaking kingship turned out to be nothing more than a sand castle built on the beach. The gods in the sky only need to push with their fingers to collapse without any suspense.And the power of the world, let alone face the gods themselves, the messengers of the gods are an insurmountable mountain for the worldly mortals!
This is the cardinal's guess, and it is also the conclusion that Aleguso judged by integrating Dean's mind, personality, and opinions on various things.In fact, if Aleguso did not replace Dean, the prince of Berrama would also have a high probability of giving up the throne and choosing to protect himself.
"I did not misunderstand the person, Your Highness Dean, you are much better than your brother Victor..." In the end, Isano said with a sigh.
"Excuse me to say the cardinal, will the royal family really be replaced by the Holy See this time?"
When Aleguso saw this, he did not want to be courteous with Isano. On the contrary, he was always interested in the plan of the Holy See on the primary material plane. After all, the contest between kingship and divine power always affected the primary material plane and the void. For the demons, the most annoying thing to see is the overwhelming power of the gods. Under the constraints of the gods, there will be no foolish behaviors of mortals, and wars, turbulence, famines and plagues will also be reduced. .
In the past, Issano would not answer this too sensitive question, but this time the old man stared at Dean with a torch and said in a powerful tone: "You have been worried about your Royal Highness, the Holy See will not replace the secular rights and does not want Take away the king's scepter."
"But the Holy See has always wanted to restrain the king, right?"
"Please be careful, Your Highness Dean."
Issano frowned. Some of Dean’s questions were out of scale. The Holy See really wanted to restrain the secular kings, but it was only hoped to guide the kings to avoid their mistakes. Although the idea of supremacy of kingship is infused into the hearts of every bishop of the Holy See, every bishop knows that the goddess did not intend to confiscate the king’s crown. The mortal kingdom requires mortals to govern by themselves, and the goddess does not intend to make believers become right I am obediently a puppet, but I just hope that the believers will not take the wrong path.
'Dean' also said with a secular look, ignoring the cardinal’s persuasion, "Your Excellency Iseno, there are only three of us here, and you don’t have to worry about anything. In fact, I know that I am included. Victor’s brother, Victor, knows very well that the Holy See has always wanted to restrain the power of the world. It can be said that this is already a semi-public secret, but everyone is unwilling to break it... Please forgive me, in fact I was right at first The view that the Vatican’s theocratic power is superior to the king’s power is very dissatisfied with that it threatens the legitimacy of the royal family, but it was not until that night that I finally realized the true purpose of the Vatican. As you said, the Vatican didn’t want to seize the king’s scepter. To avoid the worldly kings, no! It should be the whole human being who made the mistake, because our fight against each other will introduce demons into this world."
When I heard this, Isano couldn't help but slightly moved: "Your intelligence is beyond my expectations, and the most important thing is that I can get your understanding, I am very pleased, Your Royal Highness!
The invisible rift between the Holy See and the secular has always existed. As the teachings of the Holy See gradually deepen, the kings of any country will subconsciously adopt some explicit or secret means to resist the Holy See, and there are also some discrediting the Holy See. Propaganda, this makes the bishops of the Holy See feel indignant and contemptuous of the short-sighted behavior of the secular kingdom. The knights of the Holy See are fighting bloody efforts to eliminate demons and cults as an act of excluding aliens. The Holy See takes in refugees and transports food. The result of the disaster relief in their eyes became an attempt to weaken the king’s power and buy people’s hearts. These fools who would ruin the entire future for a little bit of profit are harming the world, and for a little bit of profit, they would sully the goddess’ majesty and squander the goddess’ love, even He didn't hesitate to cooperate with cultists just to keep holding that ridiculous right.
Like many clergy, Isainu, who knows how hard the goddess has done to protect the world, deeply agrees with the goddess’ doctrine of restraining the world’s rights. The world is ignorant, and sometimes people can’t distinguish between right and wrong, so it’s easy to be propagated Misleading with false promises, people who have the will of steel will slowly corrode over time, and only the goddess is immortal!
The Holy See has paid countless sacrifices to prevent the invasion of the main material plane by the devil, and has made countless efforts to enable human beings to become the dominators of this world. All these efforts have been slandered and blamed with ulterior motives. Many senior members of the Holy See It is also sent to the heart to look down on those ignorant people.
And today’s Dean’s identification makes Isano’s heart as if a knot has been untied. How long is the effort of the Holy See not for the highest interests of mankind, and how he does not hope that the whole mankind can be united together as indestructible as a rock, but But there are always people who cannot understand the great doctrine of the goddess.
It's just that... the Cardinal Isseno of the Holy See didn't know. It was not the believer of the goddess who understood him and recognized him, but the god's greatest enemy-the devil!
"The arrival of the devil has made the world know the gods once again. It can be foreseen that the power of the Holy See will increase exponentially in the future. Maybe then..." Dean paused after saying here: "The people remember the goddess Ishtar's Name, but I don’t necessarily remember who the king is on the throne."
"So are you afraid? Your Royal Highness Dean."
"How can I not be afraid of Cardinal Isseno? There are many kings who have been guillotined in history. Silvador’s foolish actions made the entire Belrama royal family tottering, and the West family also lost their heirs. Miss Alissa has already begun to cut off from the royal family, and now the royal family may be invincible as long as the wrong step is taken. At this time, the brother still looks at the situation with a conservative mind and does not realize the importance of the situation at all. Maybe it will come out tomorrow. I won’t be surprised by the news of a mutiny in the capital."
"Since you have foreseen all this, why cede the throne to your brother Victor? At this time, shouldn't you sit on the throne to stabilize the situation?"
Dean still shook his head: "If I insist on fighting for the throne, I will only add fuel to the fire at this moment of crisis. My brother's infighting will become the last straw to overwhelm the royal family, and if I retreat. The royal family may still be lingering for a while, and I can also use this last bit of time to cut off with my elder brother as much as possible, at least to keep the safety of my relatives in the future. This is the only thing I can do now. The rest of me I don't dare to be extravagant."
Issano looked at Dean with some regret. He did not expect Prince Dean to see so far, nor did he expect that the prince’s character would change so much after witnessing the miracle that day. Rather than spreading the doctrine day after day and year after year, it is not as effective as a shocking warning.
However, at this moment Dean stood up, lowered his head, and said helplessly: "Cardinal Isseno, no matter what the Holy See is going to do with the Kingdom of Berrama, I don’t care anymore, but here I just hope Can I beg you for one thing, please let me forgive my mother and sister Refina?"
Issano could clearly feel that Dean was indeed discouraged, not to mention that it was the throne in King Berrama's capital, even the lord in the Golden Spike Territory, His Royal Highness, did not seem to want to continue sitting down. Now, what the prince wants is to be an ordinary person cutting all the factors that may harm himself and his loved ones.
As a member of the royal family of Berrama, Dean’s behavior is very irresponsible, but as an ordinary person, he has given up all glory and wealth for the safety of his relatives. Dean’s behavior should be praised.
"Don't be like that, Your Royal Highness, you are serious. Goddess Ishtar is merciful, and the judgment of the goddess will only fall on sinners, and you and your sister have no guilt." Here is Cardinal Isseno Ris. Pause couldn't help but move.
However, it is casual to say that it is casual, but the Holy See will use this demon attack to deal with the royal family members of Berrama Kingdom is also a certainty. Only when a certain ceremony on the other side is completed will officially begin, but seeing Dean for his own sake The safety of the relatives is even willing to pay such a price. The cardinal also wants to help this believer, but how to deal with the matter smoothly is a little troublesome.
Suddenly another thought came to the bishop's mind, a method that has the best of both worlds: "If... you are really willing to give up your current status, your Royal Highness, there may be a way to do it."
The brilliance of hope appeared in Dean's eyes, but the side that belonged to the killing master in his heart was dismissive. Dean gave up and did not give up. It has nothing to do with him. What happens to the royal family of this country has nothing to do with him. He is obviously annoying and mortal. Intrigue now has to do it again.(To be continued.)
