Episode Five: The Results So Far

A month after the intimate meeting between Erkür and Cecilia, a public meeting was held in Nova Remulia.

They were officially dissident when the Congregation reaffirmed the Alexandria Creed and declared a bankruptcy to the self-proclaimed “Pope” and his party.

At the same time, the eradication of corruption, the ban on clergy trafficking and the fine-tuning of doctrine, which Cecilia has set itself as objectives, will be voted down, and the Mesian Church will take a new step.

It also surprised the world greatly when Elquille officially declared that the priesthood authority was to be in the princess witch (Medium), or Cecilia.

The Mesian Church is a hierarchical organization built in the order of the princess witch (Medium), archbishop, bishop, priest, eunuch, and other lower ecclesiastical priests and peace believers.

In the Lemurian Empire, Erkühl held the right to episcopate the general bishop and bishop, but Erkühl gave it to Cecilia, the princess witch (Medium).

Not all of this means that Cecilia decides.

From the roster created by Emperor Lemuria and the Princess Witch (Medium) and the Archbishop of Five Main Mountains, the form of appointment by Emperor Lemuria and by the Princess Witch (Medium) was adopted.

In other words, Elquille can still nominate an archbishop, a bishop.

However, since it was not possible to nominate a person not on the roster, its influence took the form of a shredding, and the influence of Cecilia, a princess witch (Medium), increased.

And the priest, and the chief priest, was to be appointed chief bishop and bishop.

Later historians said that the Mesian Orthodox princess (Medium) was built by Cecilian hands.

"So, Shylock. How far has the money conversion thing gone?

"Thanks to the Princess Witch (Medium), everything is going well. We were able to recover a considerable amount of gold coins from the Holy Monastery and the local churches"

That's what Shylock said. He handed Erkühl the paperwork.

There is a clear description of the quantity of gold coins recovered from each merchant, nobleman, union (guild), and monastery and church.

"Hmm, but if you try this, there's money somewhere. How many times the state budget if you sum it all up..."

Monasteries and local churches also store considerable quantities of gold coins.

Not as much as the amount accumulated by one monastery or church at a time, but when it piles up with hundreds, it becomes a hell of a forehead.

By the way, the monasteries and churches that ultimately did not respond to persuasion were “papalists," or heresy, which meant that Erkür had used force to capture them.

Cecilia forbade torture in heretical interrogation, but not in heretical interrogation itself.

Bishops and priests of captive monks and churches were hanged for heretical interrogation, and many of those convicted were to be imprisoned.

Their wealth has taken the form of a whole Elkhur into his pocket, so as Elkhur he is a whack.

"By the way, Your Majesty, what do you do with the profits you make from the cast modification?

"You had an example trade company thing, didn't you? Antonio is working hard right now... but I'll use it to buy that stock"

You have to be careful, but the profits from the cast modification are temporary.

The following year it will be zero.

For this reason, Erkühl thought that it should be used for the next business connected as much as possible.

"If I can spare it, I want to turn it to the region as much as possible. I want to avoid a situation where wealth gathers only in Nova Remulia and other regions decline. Well, the status quo is fine."

The province of the genus Misr is still developing as a barn zone, and the province of the genus Shria, on the border with the kingdom of Fars, is enlarged and rather enriched by border stabilisation.

"If I were to invest, I'd say Western territory... the territory of the Western continent, except for Nova Lemuria, can't be very rich in flattery"

"There's a bull gallon..."

It is a land that is not originally very rich in limestone soil, but the presence of the Bulgaron kingdom is applauding its decline.

Whenever the Kingdom of Bulgaron commits looting, the dependent states on the western continent side become devastated.

"Leave the situation in the west to Cecilia, it's time to end the Bulgaron Kingdom..."

Elquille shrugged.

Well, then another year went by and Elquille turned twenty-two in the clear.

While obsessed with the July heat, Erkühl read a report from Todris and grinned with satisfaction.

Because the kingdom of Tretum has ordained the Mesian Orthodox princess witch (Medium) faction as a state religion.

This is due to the efforts of Cecilia and Todoris.

In the past year Cecilia has let the forces be largely restored.

It was the priesthood that became the key.

In turn, Cecilia placed the priesthood in the hands of the princess witch (Medium), and further banned clergy trafficking to try to restructure the Church organization.

Meanwhile, Gregorius has not accomplished a single feat so far, apart from making his relationship with Lemuria worse.

The honeymoon period is over, and I'm tired.

Best of all from the kingdoms of Ederna and Fullering, nothing would be better.

What they want is their own independence.

In other words, it is their goal to take them off the influence of the Lemurian Empire, and the fall in popularity of Gregorius is not such a major problem.

There are most limits.

Too much Gregorius to use, if that means a new pope will be elected.

As a result, Gregorius is currently desperate to rewind, but he hasn't done well.

"Furling and Ederna won't be able to make any bolder moves, either, than they are sandwiched by Tretum and Lemuria. I'm sure there are quite a few Cecilian supporters in both countries."

Erkühl then takes the report on the situation in the Kingdom of Cerda.

"Hmm, that's exciting. I think it feels like we're going into the middle."

The battle between Raus I, king of the Kingdom of Cerda, and Hilderick II had reached its culmination.

Few armies are held, with a financial base backed by the Beast Nation (Warbeast), the majority of the weak, and a good fighter, Laus I.

Hilderick II, on the one hand, suppresses the capital and has a financial foundation in stone, with support from the wealthy members of the human race (Humans).

The two had split the kingdom into two parts and had a flashy dispute.

Hilderick II's army overwhelms Laus I's in numbers, so if you care about that, it should be over soon...

It seems that Hilderick II's ministers are engaged in a power struggle, which does not align them with one another.

Laus I was fighting in the form of a poke at it.

"You're going to last a few more years. And even if it continues, the land is worn out, so we can't have a hand here for a while."

In other words, the situation in the west is stable.

The northern Taurica peninsula is also stable… there is no sign that the eastern kingdom of Fars will move either.

With Lemuria and Black Clash entering into a marital relationship, Farth was unable to move as he thought.

Regardless, we must also not forget the dedication of Shehrazard and Helena.

North, west and east are all stable.

This is what going well would mean.

"Your Majesty, excuse me."

"Oh, you can come in."

I opened the door and Siffany came into the office.

I'm pushing a table with a tea set on it.

Chiffany poured tea and offered it to Elquille along with a treat.

"Go ahead, Your Majesty"

"Oh, thank you"

Elquille carries tea into her mouth.

And observe how Siffany is doing.

We've known each other a long time, but today we look oddly soaked.

"Chiffany."

"Yes?

"From your point of view, how's Nova Lemuria doing these days?

"Nova Lemuria, is it? That's right... does it feel like the economy is good? Prices are up a little bit."

"Hmm."

Currently, Nova Lemuria had an unprecedented positive economy.

The increase in currency volumes due to the monetary recasting of Erkühl and the protection policies of the commercial industry to date, coupled with the activation of transactions through the establishment of the Lemurian trading company, have borne fruit.

The only positive economies yet are the capital, Nova Remulia, and major cities such as Alextia and Orontia, but they will soon propagate to the region.

The good economy is something that will only subside for as long as possible, but Erkühl wanted it to last as steadily as possible.

It is not directly linked to the increase in tax revenues because no taxes have yet been collected, but commercial taxes will undoubtedly increase.

Elquille is going to build one new infantry corps to go with it.

In that case, the Lemurian Empire will have a total of 84000 standing armies of four legions of infantry, two legions of cavalry and one legion of archers.

Including the Tundan soldiers, it would be over 1000.

Now we can finally embark on a full-scale territorial expansion.

The first person to crusade was already, Elquille had decided.

"Hey Siffany...... are you not feeling well anywhere?

"Huh? Well, why not?

"No, you look like you're softening something. Is that what you're trying to say?

That's what Elquille asks...

Siffany nodded small.

"Yes... yes, no... well, maybe that's a mistake, but there was something I wanted to put in His Majesty's ear"

"You're friends with me and you. I wouldn't be angry if I made a mistake. Hey, what's up? You're not talking about Lucanos and Kronos actually being homopols, or like my Cecilia was laid to sleep by Nia, are you?

Both are big scandals because homosexuality is forbidden in Mesianism...

If Siffany says, "I saw the maid!!" If I had fallen into a situation, I would have reported it to Elquille without hesitation.

"Well, actually... I haven't had my period lately. About a month..."

"Hmm, I see"

Erkühr, for once, checked with Siffany.

"It's my kid, isn't it?

"Are you besides His Majesty's child?

It would be important if you were here.

Erkühr smiled.

"Well done, Siffany"

"Yes!!

Siffany smiled happily.
