You call this the god of etiquette?

Chapter 154
"It's just your Majesty." Luo Weide hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Since the plan has progressed to this point, shouldn't we get rid of the Praying for the Sun Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible?"

"After all, their purpose is to reveal Pastor Theresia's itinerary to the North."

"Now Pastor Theresia has returned to the arms of our Lord."

As Roweide said, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed across his face, but it was quickly covered up by a serious expression:
"We no longer need to acquiesce in the activities of the Prayer for the Sun Chamber of Commerce in Evergreen Plains."

"I think that allowing these profit-seeking and unbelieving people to act in the pure land belonging to the gods will definitely do more harm than good!"

Although "jazz" is a lofty goal that most civilians in the "Kingdom of Spruit" struggle to achieve throughout their lives, in front of the powerful monarch of the kingdom, a knight is so humble that he is almost indistinguishable from a commoner.

It is the lowest in the aristocratic hierarchy and cannot be passed on to one's own heirs.

Obviously, Roweide's tone has gone beyond what a knight should do.

However, Shar did not appear offended by the presumption of this humble man in the palace.

Order does not equate to rigidity and rigidity.

At least there is no equal sign here.

The dogma of the gods provides the core action guidelines and programs for the forces under his command, but its content itself is not complicated, and it is impossible to take into account all aspects of the development of the forces in detail.

Because of this, the great gods chose individual mortals to become supreme apostles, allowing them to make the final decision on details and ensure that the church always moves on the right path.

Different apostles have different acting styles, but ultimately reach the same goal by different paths, striving to continuously expand and consolidate the majesty of God.

Among the kings of the past dynasties, there were many who valued dignity and inferiority very seriously.

But what is the final result?
With so many countries within countries existing in "Split" at the same time, no matter how much you pursue the "seriousness" of the aristocratic hierarchy, it is destined to become a mere formality in the end.

Instead, the civilian believers who could have been united were forced to stand by and even stand on the opposite side of the kingdom.

Now in Schaer's generation, the situation is actually quite serious.

Needless to say, the Northern Territory, which has always been unruly and unruly, wantonly trampled on the majesty of the Kingdom's Secretary.

Even the Tiftir Grassland, which was originally submissive to the kingdom, began to have riots challenging the kingdom's authority due to the long-term economic recession.

More than two months ago, the kingdom had just put down the rebellion in the large city "Sjept" in the east of Tiftir.

However, all four secretaries hanging at the top of the city for several days have completely destroyed the dignity of the kingdom.

The Church of the Sky-Moving Eagle, which originally controlled the city, managed to escape pursuit by only killing three of its rear priests. Now it is missing and has become a hidden danger to the kingdom.

Everything shows that the internal problems of "Spruit" have reached the point where they have to be solved.

Shar did not want to place his hope in the wisdom of future generations. He just wanted to revive the imperial court while he was in power and leave his son a true "kingdom belonging to the kingdom."

Besides, there are also divine instructions from the gods.
Shar looked dazed for a moment, and then quickly looked back at Roweide, who was still half-kneeling at the foot of the steps, waiting for a reply.

This is one of his most valued civilian followers, with outstanding abilities and exemplary loyalty.

At the same time, Rowed will also become a benchmark carefully created by Shar, proving to the world how tolerant and fair the current king of the "Kingdom of Spruit" is to the civilians.

"Law Wade, I'm glad you can think of things about the Sun Prayer Chamber of Commerce."

As soon as Shar spoke, Rowed immediately lowered his head and listened respectfully to the king's answer.

The voice from above was calm and powerful:
"They are indeed cancers hiding in the shadows, which must be eliminated sooner or later."

"However, we can't take action against the Praying Sun Chamber of Commerce yet."

".?"

Rowed's brows wrinkled in confusion, but he did not continue to ask "why" because he understood that if it was something he could know, His Majesty the King would tell him.

On the contrary, it means that he should not know yet.

Sure enough, Shar paused for a moment, and then stated the reason without hesitation:

"Because God requires us to continue to observe and understand this unknown 'variable'."

"Their presence on our soil gives us the opportunity to find out what's going on with them."

Roweide's eyes widened in disbelief:
"Does an unbeliever organization like theirs, which cannot stand on the stage, deserve the attention of our Lord?"

Shar smiled faintly:
"Of course they don't deserve it."

"But the vision of mortals is just a drop in the ocean compared to the infinite majesty of gods."

"Since the great sun has sent down an oracle, we who bathe in the sun must strictly obey it."

When Luo Weide heard this, he nodded in admiration and said:

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely true."

"With a wise lord like you, the kingdom will surely become more prosperous!"

Shar smiled and then mentioned another thing:

"In the process of the kingdom's rebirth, a group of devout servants of the gods are destined to sacrifice."

"They sacrificed their lives for a noble cause and the future of the kingdom, so they will surely enjoy eternal happiness in the kingdom of gods."

".I'm sorry about Theresia."

As he spoke, the most powerful man in the kingdom suppressed the smile on his face.

His expression was solemn and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Luo Weide suddenly heard the king's comfort, and his nose felt sour, but he quickly controlled his emotions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I also believe that Thearesia will surely bathe in the light of our Lord's mercy in the kingdom of the great god that shines all over the world."

"In that paradise far away from the world, I will be happy and healthy."

Theresia is his wife.

is the mother of his two-year-old daughter.

It is also a tool to clear the way for the kingdom to "reconquer" the northern border.

The setting sun shone through the skylight into the silent meeting hall.

Senior officials from the royal capital and representatives from various places sat in a row on the marble chairs on both sides of the hall.

A huge curtain embroidered with three suns hangs above the main hall.

From the west-facing curtain hook to the east-facing curtain are embroidered in order: the rising sun, the blazing sun at noon and the setting sun.

This is the standard ornament for formal royal councils and symbolizes the gaze of the great sun.

The calm in the meeting hall did not last long.

Amidst the melodious ringing of bells, the king wearing a crown of order and purple robe slowly walked into the hall.

He held a scepter made of precious platinum with countless sun circles on it.

This "King's Scepter" is the legal certificate granted by the great God of Order to the Spratt family with the power to rule the kingdom for generations.

At the same time, it is also a god-given holy object like the Crown of Order.

When the king entered the palace, the ministers and representatives on both sides stood up and bowed to the king.

Although many people present disdain the authority of the kingdom from the bottom of their hearts, they are not so arrogant that they are not even willing to do superficial things.

Sitting on the throne, Shar glanced around at the people below with an expressionless expression.

On one side are nearly twenty senior officials of the Evergreen Heart: Prime Minister Konzler, Chief Executive Nicholas, Foreign Minister Albert, Finance Minister Francis, etc.

On the other side are more than [-] people from the kingdom, including Graham Saxton, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of the North, Samuel Spruit, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of the West Sea, and Charleston Pustash, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of the Prairie. Representative of the great nobility.

There is no doubt that although the scale of this imperial meeting is not as good as the weekly "main court meeting", the specifications are even better.

"My lords, please sit down."

After Sha'er's voice was heard, all the ministers and representatives attending the meeting immediately took their seats again.The young and powerful king wasted no time in greetings and went straight to the topic of the meeting:

"Everyone, what we want to discuss today is still matters related to the northern border."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the ministers who had already known the situation in advance did not change, but the representatives of the nobles were also unfazed.

Obviously, they had already anticipated the theme of this meeting.

Shar continued, with no emotion in his cold tone:
"Lord Graham, I remember that I asked you to ask Archduke Eden about Sir Burr's fiefdom."

"I wonder if you have any news from the North?"

Since we are discussing the Northern Territory, it is naturally impossible to bypass Graham, the representative of the Grand Duke of the North.

Therefore, the king's inquiry did not surprise Graham at all. He frowned and looked apologetic:
"Sorry, Your Majesty, I have not received a reply from my father."

"I'm afraid the messenger is still on the way."

"I remember you mentioned before that the kingdom will also send people to send formal letters of inquiry."

"I wonder if there is any new progress here, Your Majesty?"

As soon as Graham said something, he pushed the question back.

Of course he knew that his father would not agree with the king's brother seeking a fiefdom in the north, but there was no need for him to say it.

Although he was suddenly summoned to the palace to attend a meeting in front of the palace before the night when he was about to have a secret meeting with the messenger of the Tianping Church, which made him feel a bit of haze caused by the lack of information, but as a hostage given to the kingdom by the Grand Duke's father, he was able to contribute to the northern territory. The greatest contribution he made was also the only way for Mingzhe to protect himself, which was originally He Xini.

Anyway, the king's envoy would definitely not gain anything in "Belstad", so it would not be too out of the ordinary for him not to provide information here.

The most ideal result is, of course, that this matter is confused from beginning to end, and then completely confused in the end.

However, he would not have thought that it would be different from the last imperial meeting to discuss the issue of the northern border.

This time, the nature of the problem has changed.

Shar, who was originally expressionless and filled with invisible pressure, suddenly darkened when he heard Graham's reply.

His tone suddenly became extremely angry:
"Yes, Lord Graham, you are right."

"The kingdom also sent an envoy."

"That's the second thing we're going to talk about today."

"Since you brought it up first, let's deal with it first."

"Due to what happened to the Kingdom's envoy in Belstad, in order to avoid further unexpected situations, I need to temporarily detain you."

After Shar said this, with a wave of his hand, the guards in front of the palace who had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed to Graham who was completely at a loss and pulled him up from the chair.

Before the son of the Grand Duke of the North could react to the king's sudden anger, he was already a prisoner in the blink of an eye.

Although Charleston, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of the Prairie, didn't know why the king fell out so easily today, he knew that he must not let Graham be caught.

He and Graham were both hostages of the Kingdom's Grand Dukes of different surnames, so naturally they both prospered and suffered losses.

The dark-skinned "son of the prairie" reacted quickly, stood up immediately, and yelled at the guards:
"What are you doing to the heir of an archduke?"

"Is there any respect for nobles anymore?"

The loud sound was like thunder on the ground, causing the guards to stop what they were doing for a moment.

Then, Charleston half-knelt down facing the king, assuming a respectful posture, but his tone was very sharp:
"Your Majesty, no matter whether the envoy of the kingdom gets a satisfactory answer from the mouth of Grand Duke Eden, you should not implicate Lord Graham."

"Nobles must have the dignity that nobles should enjoy!"

Charleston's words were sonorous and powerful, and there were waves of echoes from the representatives of the great nobles:
"Insulting the nobility is detrimental to the country's integrity!"

"Lord Charleston is so right!"

"These wanton guards must be severely punished, otherwise, the country will not be a country!"

In addition to duke representatives, there are also representatives of some powerful marquises who can participate in the meeting.

They may not dare to take the lead in speaking out against the king, but they don't mind following two grand dukes with different surnames and waving flags.

Whose territory doesn’t have a god to protect it?

The surging rebuke made the originally aggressive guards stand there helplessly.

Graham, who was supposed to be controlled by them, also took the opportunity to break free from his restraints, looking very loyal:

"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of information your envoy brought back to make you so angry."

"But if you insist that catching me will make things move forward, I'm willing to be arrested."

"Our Saxton family has been loyal for generations. As long as it is beneficial to the kingdom, I will do it without hesitation!"

After saying this, there was another thunderous applause from the noble side.

There were even two sons of the marquis who clapped for a while and began to cover their faces and cry.

They cried so much that everyone who heard it was moved.

Suddenly, the meeting hall was in chaos. How could there be any dignity as the center of the kingdom?
Shar looked at the farce in the field with a gloomy expression.

Similar situations have happened in the meeting hall more than once.

Although mixed in on the aristocratic side were representatives of the four grand dukes belonging to the royal family.

But even the most powerful among them, the Grand Duke of the West Sea, controlled less than a quarter of the territory of the Grand Duke of the North.

It may be said that it is a blessed place on the evergreen plains near the sea, but it can only control the space of two or three cities.

Surrounded by fiefdoms run by other nobles for many years, the upper limit of development can be seen at a glance.

The role played by these four "own men" of Schaal was completely useless.

These nobles are indeed the source of all the problems in the kingdom!

Seeing that the farce was getting worse, Charles used his eyes to stop the Prime Minister Konzler who wanted to come out to maintain order.

Subsequently.

dong dong dong-

The king's scepter tapped lightly on the ground, making an inexplicable and mind-shaking sound.

The scene was silent.

Shar stared at Graham, who still looked loyal and fearless, and said word by word:

"Your father killed the messenger I sent."

"This messenger's name is Theresia, a priest of Symmetra."

"If I remember correctly, you also danced with her at this year's New Year's banquet."

As soon as Shar's words came out, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Why did the priest die? !

It's a big deal!
Graham was even more surprised.

His expression changed drastically and he froze for a few seconds.

Then, with a strong desire to survive, he began to save himself:
"Your Majesty, it is a long journey from the Heart of Evergreen to the North."

“Could Theresia have encountered other accidents on the road?”

"My father has always been loyal to the kingdom."

"He will never do such a thing!"
