Chapter 546 Turning around

Standing on the steps in front of the Cathedral of Holy Light, Emperor Reinhart the Great looked in a daze.

The afternoon sun was so dazzling that the emperor couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Pope Gregori's words were still echoing in his ears. Although he knew it was a sowering word, a sharp thorn was planted in the heart of Emperor Reinhart.

It penetrates deep into the blood vessels, and with every beat of the heart, it will cause a stinging pain.

It was inconspicuous at first, but as time went by, Emperor Reinhart felt more and more unbearable.

Suspiciousness is a personality trait that every superior with a desire to control cannot escape.

The gorgeous carriage slowly started, left the holy mountain, and soon returned to the Phoenix Palace.

Emperor Reinhardt walked in with great worries. When he came to his senses, he realized that he had arrived at the queen's bedroom without realizing it.

After hesitating at the door, Emperor Reinhart finally walked in.

"...Okay, mother!"

As soon as he came in, Emperor Reinhardt saw Princess Judy huddling in Queen Midella's arms, acting coquettishly. Prince Harrison was still sitting on the sofa chair next to him.

Seeing Emperor Reinhart the Great walk in, Prince Harrison quickly got up and saluted, "Father!"

Princess Judy pouted and looked back at Emperor Reinhart the Great, as if she wanted to seek his help.

Emperor Reinhart the Great smiled and asked his daughter, "Judy, what do you want?"

Princess Judy immediately replied: "Father, we all heard that something happened to Vera's cousin, so we wanted to visit her in Winter City!"

The smile on Emperor Reinhardt's face suddenly calmed down and he frowned and said, "You have just come back from outside and are so anxious to run to the north again? Is Phoenix Palace really not as good as Lion Roar Fort?"

Queen Midela glanced at her husband in surprise, as if she could hear something else from his tone.

Princess Judy was so aggrieved that her father didn't support her, and she almost shed tears.

But Emperor Reinhart did not seem to be planning to compromise on this matter, and ordered in a stern tone: "Judy, Harrison, you go out first, I have something to discuss with your mother."

"Yes." Prince Harrison nodded obediently, stepped forward and grabbed his sister's hand, and walked out.

Princess Judy also saw that her father was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to say more. She secretly stuck out her tongue, put away the pitiful look she had just pretended, and left.

Queen Midela changed her sitting position, and the tailored palace dress perfectly showed every bump and undulating, woven into an obsessive curve. Her deep blue eyes stared at Emperor Reinhardt, as if she could penetrate all his thoughts in her heart. Her tender red lips bent into a graceful curve, and said:

"What? Have you ever met Pope Gregori?"

Emperor Reinhardt turned his head slightly, as if he was escaping from his wife's burning gaze, and said, "Yes."

"What did he tell you?"

Emperor Reinhardt the Great repeated the conversation between himself and the Pope, and finally added:

"I think what he said makes sense. Even if the target that the North and East borders want to deal with is Gregori, they dare to challenge the spokesperson of the Supreme Lord this time, and next time, they may dare to challenge the authority of the royal family!

Therefore, such behavior should never be tolerated, let alone encouraged.”

Queen Midela listened quietly to her husband's story, and after a moment of silence, she asked in a voice: "So, are you going to put pressure on the North?"

"Yes. Although I also want to take this opportunity to weaken the power of the church, Gregori is right. The behavior of the North and East is extremely dangerous. I must not let them taste the sweetness of successfully challenging the current order, otherwise, the hearts of the empire will be in chaos!"

"Did you ever think that if you stand on the Pope this time, it would be a betrayal of the imperial aristocratic class! From now on, will the Saint Lorenzo family continue to be regarded as aristocratic leader?"

Emperor Reinhardt was suffocated, his face changed drastically, and he struggled for a while before he asked again: "What do you think I should do?"

"You are the emperor of the empire and the leader of the nobles. At such a critical moment, you must clarify your position and not be confused by Gregori's sweet words!"

"but……"

"No, but! If you don't want the San Lorenzo family to completely lose the support of the nobles, you must not betrayal at such a critical moment!

Of course, I also understand your concerns. This incident will indeed make the lords of the eastern border of the North and the East border of the North have a sense of disobedience.

Actually, this is not difficult to solve."

"How to solve it?" Emperor Reinhardt's eyes lit up and asked anxiously.

Queen Midela smiled and said, "You can go with the flow and publicly support the North's actions, and ask the Pope to explain the murder of Duke St. Heard."

"Is this your solution?" Emperor Reinhardt the Great obviously could not understand the advice given by his wife, his eyes full of doubts.

Queen Midela explained calmly: "Think carefully, then the actions of the North and East are no longer rebellion, but a just act of attacking the pseudo-believers in the church under your command!

Once this matter is done, all the achievements and glory will be attributed to you, not to the St. Heards.

Your prestige and authority will reach unprecedented levels, and will you still be afraid that the lords will develop a disobedient heart?"

"Yes!" Emperor Reinhardt clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "For such a simple truth, I was almost deceived by that old guy Gregory!"

Queen Midela smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to be confused by some people with ulterior motives, you must figure out who is the enemy and who is the friend."

Emperor Reinhardt nodded heavily, stepped forward and kissed his wife's smooth forehead, and smiled and said, "Dear, I have figured it out! St. Hilde is my most loyal friend! The damn church is my biggest enemy!

‘The secular ones belong to the nobles, and the faith ones belong to the church’!

I have tolerated these guys for too long, and the order of the empire should not be like this!

This time, let us work together to completely drive the influence of the church out of the secular realm!”

Then he walked out in a hurry and shouted excitedly: "I will arrange a public speech now. I will reveal the ugly face of Gregori to the people of the empire, and call on all the noble lords to clean up the current corrupt and fallen church for the glory of my lords!"

Looking at the back of Emperor Reinhardt as he left, the smile on Queen Midela's face became brighter, but there was still a hint of hidden disdain in her eyes.
