Scene 114 The Imperial Chancellor and His Daughter

The daughter of the prime minister went wherever she liked. This matter had nothing to do with the temple, but Vala understood that the statue of the saint in the Lion Palace never talked nonsense, so she crossed her fingers on her chest and waited silently. Following Sidney's words.

The light of the candles in the candlelight hall was slightly tilted on the lady's short platinum hair, leaving a deep shadow under her forehead and in the depression on the other side of the straight bridge of her nose. Sidney said quietly: "She He and the leader of the Eruin envoy had a feud over the death of Viscount Elman, and this time they went for each other, but there was someone behind this incident who was fueling the flames - Delphine had visited Count Freud before leaving the country. And borrowed the demon-slaying gun. As far as I know, although Freud was Viscount Elman's father during his lifetime, this time he was connected to Miss Delphine through a person named Price. This man was the butler of Freeman Lillis, the vice-president of the Archaeological Association. Freeman Lillis had used him to reveal the information about the demon-slaying gun and Count Tonigel to the previous two people at the same time. "

"So this little girl's trip was arranged in advance, huh," Vala listened quietly and replied: "You can indeed smell a conspiracy from this, indicating that someone wants to deal with Prime Minister Nidwin , or Count Freud? But what does it have to do with us, Sidney."

"Freeman Lillis has a very close relationship with Priest Eugene."

Vala sat in a chair and was silent for a moment before replying: "It is commendable that we found the connection so quickly. It seems that we are about to see the truth. What happened to the little girl after she went to Andzlova?"

After that, the turmoil in Andzlova and the invasion of Jorgandigan occurred. This was self-evident, but Sidney understood that this was not what the head of the Holy See wanted to hear.

"She's missing," she replied.

"Is the relationship between Freeman Lillis and Eugene official?" Vala asked again.

"Exactly."

"So it is not difficult for outsiders to contact us through him." The old man knocked on the armrest of the chair and said solemnly: "Little Nidwen regards his daughter as a treasure. She is a spoiled big girl. She is missing now. Yes, the person behind the scenes is closely related to our temple, so it’s hard for the Prime Minister not to think of us."

"The world is not blind, so what good will it do if we do something to a little girl?" Sidney asked: "Little Nidwin is not a fool, and his father is not dead yet."

"We'll find out soon enough."

Vala shook her head slightly and replied.

Sidney frowned deeply,

She looked at the Supreme Being of the Temple with dissatisfaction, and her answer was very similar to that of forty years ago: "Your Majesty has gone too far recently, High Priest."

Vala's thick eyebrows lifted slightly, and two sharp eyes seemed to burst out from his deep-set eyes, falling on the face of the saint statue in the Lion Palace - this is his proud disciple, the white-gold Under his broken hair, his flat forehead, and his eyebrows like platinum swords, those golden pupils were shining with clear and unflinching light - this look seemed to make the old priest see what he had been like when he was young. Himself, he sighed and sat back in the chair: "Just this, don't mention it, you know, Sidney."

"Royal power and religious power have their ups and downs. This is a law of history. However, secular power and sacred authority have been separated from each other and monitored each other for thousands of years. This is an established rule. Your Majesty stretched out his hand to the temple. This is An extremely dangerous thing, she is doing something wrong, you must prevent her from making the same mistake again, High Priest." Sidney was unmoved and replied calmly.

"No, things haven't reached that point yet. Sidney, you don't understand. There are some things you don't understand-" Vala shook her head: "Things haven't reached that point yet. She is just greedy for power and doesn't want to let go. It's just the throne in our hands. For mortals, this is normal. We cannot stand on the other side of His Majesty because of this kind of thing. She may have gone too far, but it is still tolerable."

"Is the teacher too generous to Your Majesty?" Sidney's eyes revealed her boredom and dissatisfaction.

"This is what we owe her. At least in this matter, we cannot openly oppose her. Remember, Sidney, this is not my order, but the order of my teacher. I must obey this order, The same goes for you," Vala replied in a deep voice: "You know, this is an agreement. When she is in power, we don't have to support her, but we can never oppose her, as long as she is not involved in those key issues. If we make the wrong choice, we cannot violate this agreement."

"Isn't this even a critical issue?"

"It's just mundane business, Sidney."

"Holy faith is not born without roots, great priest."

"Shut up." Vala scolded angrily. In fact, he didn't understand this, but some words couldn't be said like that: "How dare you say such dirty and vulgar words in this sacred place, Ms. Sidney, don't Let anger and resentment towards your opponent take over your mind, and use your usual calmness. You are not suitable to continue talking to me now, go and calm down."

Sidney was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I understand."

After that, she didn't explain much. She took one last look at her teacher's bookshelf, then turned and left. But halfway there, she turned back and asked, "Is it because of the Dragon Clan?"

"The dragons can't do whatever they want in this world, Sidney. They are far more restricted than us." Vala shook her head and replied: "Everyone knows that Her Majesty the Queen has the shadow of the dragon clan behind her. In fact, the truth is Far from it, the dragon clan alone cannot subdue the empire. Remember, Sidney, this is the era of mortals. The will of the empire is swayed by people like us, not by those superior legends and legends. fantasy."

"This world is the result of the efforts of the sages, so our lofty faith is also rooted in this." The old man said a few words impassionedly, but suddenly felt a little lonely for some reason. He sighed and said: "The Dragon Clan owes His Majesty a favor. , so why not the temple? I don’t want to mention that matter in the past just yet. You can go down, Sidney, and you will understand one day.”

If there are other members in the temple here, they will probably be surprised by the old man's words, because it already contains some thought-provoking information. It contains not only a secret, but also the future. Transfer of Temple Supreme Power.

But Sidney didn't seem to care at all, he just nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Vala looked at the back of his student and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. He was unfazed. This is the courage that the successor of the temple should have. He is a priest who was born after the Year of the Frog. Among his generation Accustomed to seeing the ups and downs of history and changes in general trends, the gap from high to low, and the changes in status from the past to the present have had a profound impact on their generation of clergy. Ordinary difficulties rarely bother this wise man. The old man frowned. The present and past of the temple seemed to him to be an inevitable result that was both difficult to change and irreversible. But at least he still had an outstanding disciple. Valla had placed her hope in Sidney. That generation may be able to change today's embarrassment.

It is indeed embarrassing. Perhaps even in this majestic Holy Palace, few people understand how embarrassed the temple is today. The old man shook his head. He couldn't help but think of the clergy of his teacher's generation. In addition to Except for the younger generation of that era, few people could accept such a gap. There were quite a few clergymen who were martyred for this, including his teacher, but few people knew this secret.

It's great to be young, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and thought, at least young people still have hope.

He watched Sidney leave, then turned back and patted the mahogany tabletop gently with his fingers.

Sidney's words still caught his attention. His Majesty's hand was indeed stretched a little too long, but that didn't matter. He was worried about another thing: Duke Helix was assassinated? It happened that something was wrong with the mosaic collar at this time, which made him smell a smell that made him feel uneasy. The old man suddenly stood up and pulled out a large red-covered book from the bookshelf. He opened the book and shook out the He spread out a thick piece of parchment - it was a huge map. The old priest spread the map on the table and his eyes fell on the flower-leaf collar for a long time.

He raised his eyelids slightly, and his gaze continued northward along the hills north of Fort Lviv, until he moved to a criss-crossing mountain range.

The place names there are marked on the map with beautiful cursive characters.

Alkhash.

"Martha bless you," Vala muttered, "no way."

He put down the map, closed his eyes, and waited for a while before picking up the bell on the desk:

"Here comes——"

…

Her Majesty the Queen's tea party will be held as always at the Palace of St. Contibe after noon. The tradition of this tea party originated before the Year of the Walnut. That era was still the era of Emperor Grantot. Emperor Grantot often used the Queen's tea party to secretly receive him. This tradition has been passed down from that time and carried forward in the hands of his son. The eleventh son of the emperor, His Majesty the previous emperor, discussed the temple with the old Prime Minister Niedwen at tea parties more than once. So much so that the plans born out of the Tea Party were maliciously called the 'Tea Party Conspiracy' by the clergy, and were even widely sung by bards.

To this day, the Silver Queen's tea party has become a customary rule. Three days a week, His Majesty will hold a tea party in the Rose Garden. However, in this era, ministers who go to the tea party are no longer secretly invited, but It is upright and has become a symbol of status and honor.

But today, the atmosphere in the living room located on the east side of the Rose Garden is a little subtle.

No one in the room spoke, as if a magic spell had been cast on everyone, they sat firmly in their seats, neither blinking nor speaking, like a group of puppets.

Her Majesty the Queen had a sneer on her face, and the Prime Minister next to him looked very ugly, a little uneasy and sullen. Under him, most of the other nobles looked at their noses and hearts, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble, but Without exception, everyone's eyes were focused on the stack of parchment on the coffee table in the living room. The meaningful look in their eyes seemed to be that there was something weird recorded on the parchment.

"Sir Fiona, Delphine really went to Andzlova a month ago."

"This..." Little Niedwin replied with some annoyance and regret: "I didn't know in advance that she was going to Andzlova, Your Majesty, and even if I knew, Andzlova was peaceful at that time, I wouldn't There is no reason to prevent her from going out. My father only forbids her from leaving the empire, but within the empire, my daughter is still free. Just imagine, what reason do I have for not letting her go to a small place within the empire? This can never be used as a evidence."

"I understand, you don't have to worry." The Silver Queen seemed to be a little amused by this matter. She chuckled and replied: "Your daughter happened to have some misunderstandings with the Earl. If I had known in advance where she would go, I'm afraid she won't allow it, but it seems that she probably didn't notify your father."

Little Niedwin's face turned red. Although he was the prime minister of the empire, he had nothing to do with his daughter. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was something everyone knew. The only thing that made him let go What's bothering me is that it seems that Her Majesty the Queen doesn't care about this very much. He naturally understood that this kind of thing could be big or small, but as long as the supreme leader of the empire didn't care, then everything would be fine. Thinking about it, His Majesty would never take such a fantasy seriously. It's just that this thing is too mean at the moment, which makes him very angry.

"Your Majesty's observations are as meticulous as ever." He replied: "That is exactly what happened."

He couldn't help but glance at the pile of parchment again. It was on these parchments that the slanders and slanders that made him feel embarrassed were recorded. He naturally knew where these secret documents came from - the parchment. The secret emblem above must have been written by the knights of the inner court. This is the only one in the empire, and there is no other semicolon.

But what puzzled the prime minister was why these inner court knights suddenly came to bite him like mad dogs. They reported in the report that they had colluded with Jorgendigan and sent their daughters to Andzlova to act as hostages. , this is simply something made out of nothing. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that these things are a trick to criticize at a glance, let alone at their level, this kind of trick cannot be put on the stage at all.

But this is what makes people feel disgusting. Little Niedwin is very puzzled. Who is so boring and uses this kind of thing with his daughter to joke with himself? This is simply like a poor prank, which is disgusting. Gagging.

But it was this kind of prank that deeply angered him. Everyone knew that Prime Minister Niedwin had a daughter, but these people chose to use his daughter to trouble him. This was almost a slap in the face.

Whether it was out of concern for his daughter, or for his own face and the dignity of his family, he would never give up.

But he knew that it was the royal family who was in charge of the inner court knights, and it was impossible for Her Majesty the Queen to use such low-level methods to deal with him. So other than that, there were only those who could get involved.

The first is Palut’s family. The young prime minister frowned. Within the empire, they and the Parute family were not concerned about each other, because Her Majesty the Queen had always intended to support the Parute family to suppress the factions left by the late king. However, everyone within the empire knew clearly. , this kind of suppression actually comes from Her Majesty the Queen herself. If the Parut family takes action against him, it is equivalent to Her Majesty the Queen taking action. Unless it is a personal grudge, the Parute family should not be so boring.

But he couldn't remember any personal grudge between himself and the Parut family for a while.

As for the rest of the people, it seems to be even less important.

"But Sir Fiona, if Delphine really goes to Andzlova, this is not good news." At this time, Constance suddenly said with meaning.

Little Nidven was shocked. He was originally angry because of these documents, but he completely forgot that if his daughter really went to Andzlova, this would be a big problem. When he thought about this, his expression changed. Others saw the prime minister's suddenly pale face and understood that the whole thing probably had nothing to do with him, so when they looked at the document, they couldn't help but look even weirder.

This shows that someone is obviously against the Prime Minister. Who could it be?

And if it is an opposition, will it just end there? Everyone knows that it is impossible for Her Majesty the Queen to identify an imperial prime minister as a traitor through these one-sided words. This kind of struggle at this level is simply a clown's trick and not worth mentioning. But the problem is that the potential enemy will There will be no back-ups. Everyone understands that if the person who makes the move has a back-up, then it will probably be a more powerful attack.

At this time, little Niedwin had obviously thought of this. Although he was not as good as his father, he still had some abilities, but what he was most worried about now was - what if his daughter really fell into the hands of those people? what to do?

At this time, the Silver Queen smiled slightly, obviously seeing what the Prime Minister was thinking. She comforted softly: "Don't worry, Sir Fiona. Delphine may not have really gone to Andzlova. As for these frame-ups, she I will naturally get to the bottom of it for you and the old prime minister."

Little Niedwin nodded and replied with some disappointment: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Constance smiled softly and nodded to the young prime minister.
