“Crowfield’s eldest daughter? What was the problem?”
Alice asked with concern.
Because the imperial family has special power, the power of the imperial family in this worldview is stronger than in the Middle Ages.
When it comes to being a duke, the story changes again.
If the imperial family wishes, it can be eliminated.
However, it is too powerful for that.
Also, if there is a lack of justification, there is a possibility that the imperial family’s control will weaken.
It was truly an ambiguous relationship.
Although they must have been the same sect in the distant past.
“No. It’s not really like that.”
So it was understandable that Alice was worried.
From Alice’s perspective, she would think that it would be difficult to handle it on her own.
And if I only say this, they’ll think I’m lying because I don’t want to cause harm, and they’ll waste time investigating it separately.
That’s a loss. Because there is nothing.
I immediately left a proper explanation.
“ To be precise, we can say that it is just the beginning. There has been a political attack.”
“Political attack? Why is that the beginning? Isn’t it already in progress?”
“It’s roughly like this. It is not an invasion, but it is an act of concentrating military forces on the border. We don’t know if it’s real or fake, and they have the justification of training, but we have to be prepared. That’s right.
In fact, there are cases where the military retreated while calling it a training exercise.”
Since Korea is a divided country, it is virtually natural to deploy troops on the border.
I don’t know much about Koreans who grew up in Korea.
Basically, unless the enemy country is openly attached to the military.
In the name of central protection, they are concentrated in the capital or large cities.
It is common to deploy only the minimum number of troops at the border.
So, if you send troops to the border, other countries may protest.
Ariana was like that.
“I have a feeling something is going on, but I am not actually taking action. If we tried to raise it as a problem, we would avoid it by dealing with it in principle. It’s literally a political maneuver.”
The key to political quality is not to keep the other party from knowing something.
It’s important to make them aware and have a way out.
It is not for nothing that extreme personnel appointments are quickly dismissed.
Being extreme means there is no way out.
This is because it means that political life can easily be destroyed.
“So… What exactly happened?”
“There are many to list. Intimidation, terrorism, etc. The culprit is obvious because Ariana is the only one who has the power to openly instigate it and who would question my personality… Honestly, those are things anyone can do, right?
The strength of the threat was also weak. Besides, if it were Ariana Crowfield, she would have definitely left an exit hole or cut off the tail a long time ago. Even if it were investigated by a saint, it would not be easily revealed.”
All of her actions are ambiguous.
Although you could ask the academy itself for a favor. An ambiguous incident to call Seonghwangcheong.
Moreover, if it were Ariana, she would have been prepared to do things that simply require bribery so that even if the saint investigated her, she would not be able to step on his tail.
Even if it is revealed, it will be revealed in the process of investigating Ariana. It would be difficult to find out in reverse.
There is no way the dukedom’s successor would be lax.
If it was natural, it was natural.
“Then it will be difficult to take action.”
“There’s nothing to do in the first place. Since ancient times, it has been a well-established theory that in war, the attacking side must use stronger forces. The same goes for political attacks.
If I just try to defend without attacking, the opponent has no answer. It’s a fight that’s hard to win even if only the princess joins in.”
Therefore, there is little need to prepare right now.
No matter how strong you are, strength is relative.
If we are better, that strength will fade.
“Then I will believe it. There is no problem.”
“Yes. So don’t worry. Because I’m fine.”
The princess and I parted ways like that.
Fortunately, Alice seemed to have shaken off all her previous tantrums.
I already have something to worry about.
It’s probably because they don’t have the ability to get angry at me.
I felt fortunate.
At least Ariana’s offensive was at a level I could withstand.
I thought so.
Until I saw what she had prepared for the three weeks I was gone.
What flew to me.
It was something that even the princess had a hard time dealing with.
[Notice of Seonghwangcheong official audit recipients.]
Heresy.
Just because it’s the imperial family, it can’t be covered up carelessly. Such a being.
A letter arrived saying that I was on that list.
It had been less than three days since I broke up with Alice.
=========
“So, I didn’t expect everyone to gather here like this… Do you know why we are gathering? Because the situation is not that serious.”
“I know it well.”
“You know.”
“I also know that it’s a mess.”
The place where we gathered was the Tantalota Pavilion.
Among them, it was the room where Alice welcomed guests.
The people who gathered there were truly amazing.
me.
Lucas.
Theseus is always there, so it’s natural.
Alice deserved it too.
However, there was one person who was difficult to imagine.
“The situation is truly serious.”
The first prince of this country.
Although he is a strong candidate for the next emperor.
In WFS, he was the one who eventually took the position of emperor.
Prince.
He was here.
“It’s heresy… If it is officially declared a heresy… Even if the imperial family protects it, public opinion will be very negative.”
“Probably going on a rampage in the Republic. Heresy declared by a religion that has become the state religion… The government is covering it up.”
“Will it end there? There were rumors going around that he was Abama’s henchman. Regardless of its authenticity… Just because a heresy becomes official, one’s prestige falls.
In the end, the empire will agitate that it has brought in heretics from its official religion as its henchmen.“
The state religion of the empire is not Celestialism.
Seonghwangcheong is also not a group representing Celestial Religion.
Other religions within the empire represent this.
This is supported by the fact that there was a saint who was not a member of Seonghwangcheong.
however…
Public opinion follows perception.
Even if it is not the state religion.
If you think of it as a state religion, it is a state religion.
Even if you are not a representative.
If you think of it as a representative, it is a representative.
That is the power of public opinion.
The Republic is a bit more powerful in public opinion due to the nature of electing power through voting.
There was no way I could have missed that.
“Is Seonghwangcheong really… Should we designate it as heresy? However, compared to the past, Seonghwangcheong has become weaker and is now too politically weak to be hostile towards it… ”
“Too much time has passed.”
The Crown Prince explained his story.
“Currently, there are no experienced bishops or cardinals in the Holy See. Those who became new bishops do not remember the mighty glory of the past, and the Pope, who should have controlled them… ”
“He’s already been secluded for a long time.”
“Yes. So unfortunately for them, they don’t see things turning around. For someone who can only count to 100, 100 is the best.
It’s really stupid to just aim for 95 without seeing 1000 even though it could be higher.”
“Does this mean collusion? Why?”
“The reason Seonghwangcheong paid attention to politics was to ultimately return to the past. However, for those who do not know the power, the goal of the past is… It’s close to impossible.”
“At that time. It was thought that as long as you were serious about swordsmanship, you could fight against the empire.”
“Okay. So they decided to pursue their own interests. In the end, rather than raising the Seonghwangcheong and raising their own status.
Even if they bring down Seonghwangcheong, if they can occupy a high place within Seonghwangcheong, it will be of sufficient benefit to them.”
“Even if it is checked by the empire… Are you saying that it is enough to become a cardinal or pope with support from behind the scenes?”
“Yes. And it takes a saint and a saint to prevent that… Too young. Since it was given to them rather than promoted, they are pushed out in political power… Since I have little experience… ”
“Nothing else is a problem. The problem is that the Pope, who can prevent it, stays away.”
“ done. There is no need to consider the seclusion that has already happened anyway. The point is… Seonghwangcheong caught the number of cases.”
The crown prince’s story has passed.
Now the really important story begins.
“I guess they judged him for heresy because there must be something wrong with him. Even if it is checked by the empire, the review itself cannot be prevented because there is a justification. therefore… To put it simply:”
Religion is the domain of the Holy Emperor.
Politics is the domain of the imperial family and nobility.
For hundreds of years.
No, thanks to classification that has continued for thousands of years, the imperial power was able to monopolize power.
Ironically. The power to interfere with religion was completely lost.
then.
The result was simple.
“Then I become a heretic. Is that what you mean?”
From now on I
It is a heresy of Celestialism.
