Episode 236

Cardinal Tulaya sat in the chair and began to speak, alternating between me and Mao.

"Teiyo-kyo is a peasant religion that originates in the sun religion. It has preserved the knowledge and rules necessary for a peasant's life in the form of precepts. At the same time, it has been preparing for the fight against pagans. I did. "

I nod and return like this.

"As long as you settle in the land, you can never lose the battle to protect the land."

"Yes, that's right."

As I heard a little in the past, it is said that the most serious fight in the territorial war is the agricultural people. It is said that the damage caused by losing the land they lived in is greater than that of nomads and hunter-gatherers.

I don't know if it's true, but at least it was in Rolmund.

"Rolmund's Huayin fought a fierce battle not only with climate and demons, but also with pagans. The largest pagan force was the religion of fishermen and hunters, Polar Star. I worshiped the polar star in heaven and confronted us. ''

Apparently, the feud between the two started around the "conflict between settlers and migrants."

Cardinal Turaya sighs.

"It was hard going from there. The ancestors broke out the precepts to protect the farmland and to steal them from the enemy, because otherwise they could not survive, but thanks to the negative legacy I'm done. "

"Is it a law that doesn't suit the times?"

"Yes. I can't do that now, and I'm struggling to maintain consistency."

Cardinal Tulaya speaks to me with a serious look.

"It's clear that this is not the best way to go, but saying the verse doesn't solve the problem. For our ancestors to survive in the harsh nature of Rolmund, thorough realism I needed it. "

"Like 'Cold Mecha'?"

"Yes, you know well."

Because it is Eleora's trauma.

Cardinal Tulaya, who had a serious look, pointed a gentle smile at me.

"But we can't be without the precepts, but we can 'discover' new things."

"Is it troubled again later?"

"In order not to do that, we have recently added some width to the precepts. There are various methods, such as narrowing down the conditions to apply."

And he goes on like this.

"That's why we can have a flexible attitude towards demons, the Commonwealth of Milaldia, and His Highness Elleora.

Don't say joy.

"So, does that mean that you're partnering with us, not Prince Ashley?"

I don't think it's a clergy conversation, but it's easy to do business talks like this.

Cardinal Turaya shook his head.

"We are not partnering with secular forces; we will seek all the means necessary to maintain the order and peace of Rolmund."

It's pretty scary depending on what you hear, that's it.

He goes on like this.

"Either way, your current Highness Ashley will not be our collaborator, because the crisis is looming that will shake the Empire and Teruyoism."

"What the hell is it?"

When I asked, Cardinal Tulaya answered softly.

"The ceremony office reports that there is a marriage to Princess Ashley's sister, Dilier, which is good, but she is with the Bolshevik."

What are you thinking about.

No, I understand what I'm thinking.

The Duke of Bolshevik is not satisfied with Eleora's control and is trying to get into the center of state affairs by marrying Prince Ashley's sister.

Prince Ashley will soon be crowned and emperor. If you become the emperor's brother-in-law, the Duke of Bolshevik is safe.

However, I do not think that such a marriage will go straight.

"Are no one objecting?"

"Besides the parties, only the top leaders of the Huyo religion are informed, and Ashley is a downfall, to say the least."

Say something terrible.

But that is also true.

Prince Ashley was unable to stop and repress the Dniesk rebellion. Everyone knows that the oppression was the Eleanorism.

Cardinal Tulaya sighed.

"Ashley will not be spared the reputation of being a vulnerable emperor in the future. The Ashleys have just turned out to be useless, just in numbers. I don't want to be able to handle one rebellion. ''

I guess it's too much to say because it is off the record. I agree.

"It was the Prince of Bolshevik who came to troubled Ashley, because he is a sovereign with great territory, sparsely populated by his nobles."

"Let's try to get along with each other who is sparse."

"It's like that. Even if the drowning people hold hands, I think they just drown together."

So let's make a little more effort in the oblate.

But I was a little worried.

The Bolsheviks are changing their allies one after another and thus survive. It is a type that takes profit from step-in-law.

If he approaches Prince Ashley, of course, it will be for good.

He must have something to win.

Probably, there is a way that ordinary people pull off.

I thought so and muttered.

"It's dangerous. If you just want to protect your religion and territory, you don't have to go this far, you're going to do something bigger."

"Do you think so?"

Cardinal Turaya nodded.

"We're also worried. As the Emperor has helped keep the peace of Rolmund, it will be difficult if pagans become the emperor's brother-in-law."

If the Prince of Bolshevik infused Prince Ashley with his wife, he would not be able to refuse the favored Prince Ashley.

"Is the marriage likely to be united?"

"Princess Dillier seems to be very reluctant. Prince Ashley still seems to be hesitant, but a ceremony official said it was a matter of time."

With the exception of Elleora, all of Rolmund's princesses are tools for political marriage. She is strictly boxed to prevent strange insects.

Is this a pattern in which a boxed lady was tricked by a villain into a crochet?

I don't know what method was used, but it's troublesome ...

It is confidential because it becomes a major problem if it becomes public, but it is said that there is no way to prevent this marriage.

The Duke of Bolshevik is ostensibly a Huiyang and has been properly attended. There is no solid evidence that he is a pagan.

There is no problem with the form of the house, and no one can stop if they are willing.

At least if the Emperor is alive, you can say "wait a minute" with the feudal father's authority, but it will not be helped by his brother Prince Ashley.

I look at Cardinal Tulaya. The face in trouble.

"What about 'discovering' a new scripture and preventing engagement?"

"It can't be made so quickly. Because of our population maintenance policy, we are open to marriages between the congregations, which makes them inconsistent with past scriptures."

He mutters and smiles.

"This is not just a fight in the religious world; it has serious consequences for the world."

"what do you mean?"

When Mao asked, Cardinal Thuraya politely explained.

"For example, in the event of a conflict between Huiyangs, we can arbitrate in the event of a conflict, but no one can arbitrate in a war against pagans."

That's right.

I was convinced and returned.

"If the empire were to be divided into Teruyo and Polarism, the next war would be a bog for decades and hundreds of years."

"Yes, then the empire would probably break apart."

I don't think it's bad for Milaldia, but I'm not very welcoming, as I don't know how to turn from there.

It's possible that the losing one will come to Miraludia as a refugee, and that Rorumund will re-invade Miraraldia as an excuse.

The worst case is when Teruyo won. In that case, the Huiyang religion will continue to have a strong point that "Mirardia did not cooperate in the hardest times."

Here, too, I will give favor to Teruyo, and let Eleora become emperor and keep me quiet for decades.

Above all, I don't want to have many dead people.

"I see. He's becoming a troublesome enemy for us. I'd like to cooperate as much as I can, but why to me, not to Her Highness Elora?"

Cardinal Tulaya answered with a full smile.

"Because you're a Gentile and you can cut a lizard when you need it. I'm the last cardinal, and for the Pope it's like a lizard's tail."

"ah I see"

It should have been angry, but it was so logical that I didn't get angry.

There is less damage if I and the Cardinal do anything than to make a secret agreement between Eleora and the Pope. Both sides are dismissed as "subordinates did their own work."

But he looks like a villain boss from a Hollywood movie. He doesn't hesitate to sacrifice himself if necessary, and in some ways looks like a real fanatic.

But I don't hate these people.

Because the story is early.

I nod and suggest to him.

"So, in the event of a catastrophic event, I will take all responsibility and leave the country. Is that OK?"

"Yes, I don't want to hurt the imperial prestige, so please do that .... but you're a strange person too.

"I'm rather proud because it's like a deputy job."

After all, I will return to Milaldia and will not return here again. So this is not a risk.

Working on the Duke of Bolshevik is also my primary job.

Does your plan go well, but do you get in the way?

So, in my opinion, this has not increased the burden.

Cardinal Toraya smiled and asked me for a handshake.

"The priesthood of Xanahua was still correct. I thank God again for his intelligent and intelligent encounter with you."

"Thank you for trusting me in the demons."

Rogues shake hands firmly.

The villain who understands is the best.

Mao is blurry.

"On both sides, I'm a huge evil about haze."

"If you say that, I don't feel bad ..."

"What are you nervous about?"

A cardinal who forges the scriptures, and an aide to the Demon King who came from a foreign country. They are good villains.

So let's make a concrete conspiracy.

For the peace of this country.
