I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 286 Plans and Entertainment
Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, is a goddess whose divine role overlaps with that of the Earth Mother.

Therefore, it was not surprising to Chris at all that the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture and the Church of the Earth Mother were in conflict.

The current conflict is a test by the goddess of agriculture. They must feel that the Earth Mother Goddess sect has been suppressed by Chris, and even the main church of Walteradnoy has been confiscated. This is a great opportunity.

Yes, that is indeed an opportunity, but the Earth Mother is not dead yet. They have been rooted in the local area for many years, and even if Chris doesn't like it, he can't eradicate the sect's influence in the rural areas outside Waterladnoy in a short period of time.

The Church of the Goddess of Agriculture must know about this, but they are still in such a hurry, without even the patience to wait for spring. They rushed over with their people. What is their plan?
Chris had to think about this problem. Although these religious figures did not have an army, they could indeed exert some extraordinary power, such as making wheat sprout in winter.

Although this ability is quite useless, with more costs than benefits, it is still very useful if they use it to play tricks and scare ignorant farmers.

Therefore, Chris really had to keep an eye on the movements of these charlatans. He sent the two sects to solve the problem of the King's Plains because he wanted to give them something to do, so they wouldn't keep thinking about inciting the farmers to do bad things.

Success is a good thing, but failure can also distract them.

"Dong dong dong..."

At that moment, someone knocked on Chris's office door.

"Come in."

It was the clerk. He pushed open the door and came in, giving a serious report to Chris.

"My lord, Priestess Arya of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture is unwilling to leave; she wishes to meet with you alone."

"Something happened?"

"Yes, she said she had two important pieces of information to report about the Earth Mother and the former king."

Former King?

Chris raised an eyebrow, remembering that old guy who was still in Minicia.

According to the rules, this old man should be considered the current king, because he has not abdicated yet. Even though the eldest prince, Flower, has returned to form the restoration army, the former still stubbornly refuses to relinquish the throne to him.

Now that Chris is about to restore his kingdom and become the King of Bagnia, it's a foregone conclusion. The old man remains unmoved, neither saying he wants to abdicate nor daring to say he wants to return as king.

Chris had no idea what the old man was thinking. Connie's intelligence scouts were also unable to find out anything about what was happening in Minicia, so he could only pretend the old man didn't exist. Now that the priestess of the goddess of agriculture said she wanted to report on his affairs, Chris couldn't help but become a little interested.

"Let's arrange a time..."

Chris thought about his free time.

"Around one o'clock, after I had dinner, I arranged for her to come to the garden to see me."

The palace is not safe yet, and the garden is even more dangerous, but Chris has been in the office for too long and wants to go out for a walk and stretch his muscles.

Even though it was a bit cold, Chris didn't really care. "Okay."

……

Arya, sitting in the reception room, felt somewhat uneasy.

The plan was somewhat unexpected for her. What happened outside the outskirts of Votradnoy was a performance that the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture had been preparing for a long time in preparation for their march on Votradnoy.

The church's missionary priests had been lurking in Voltradnoy for a long time. They knew the people of the Church of the Earth Goddess very well. The Grom priest in this incident was carefully selected by them; he was short-tempered and brainless.

If Arya shows up in Grom's mission district with her men, he will definitely rush over immediately and clash with her.

Arya, one of the participants in the conflict, was carefully selected by the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture. She was not only loyal to the goddess but also extremely calm and deceptive in appearance... Her emerald eyes and gentle face always made people lower their guard.

Whenever Arya clashes with the menacing Grom, bystanders will subconsciously develop a certain degree of hostility towards the latter.

Meanwhile, the missionary priests of the Agricultural Girls' Church also learned that a close subordinate of Prince Chris would come to the village at a fixed time every day.

The goddess of agriculture had no idea why Prince Chris's confidants were here, but it was clearly an opportunity to exploit. Her people would monitor the road and signal Arya at the perfect moment.

Around the same time, Grom will also receive a notification from the followers of the "Earth Mother Goddess," and will lead his men to charge over aggressively.
According to the plan, after Arya clashes with Grom, this prince's confidant will arrive at the scene at the appropriate time to witness Grom unilaterally persecuting the followers of the goddess of agriculture.

At this moment, Arya would display heartbreaking forbearance and compassion, making her confidant unable to bear seeing the beauty being beaten, and thus stepping forward to stop the conflict... That's how things should have gone.

Just like in chivalric romances.

After the knight stopped the villains from persecuting the beauty, the beauty took the opportunity to express her gratitude to the knight, thus opening up the situation and helping the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture gain a foothold in the city of Wortradnoy.

If things go smoothly, Arya may even be able to meet Prince Chris with the help of the "knight".

However, although the plan of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture was perfect on paper, they did not expect that the player was a fun-loving person. After discovering that there was a show to watch, he actually watched with great interest from the sidelines instead of going forward.

Even when Arya was punched by Grom, the rude priest of the Earth Mother, he remained unmoved. He even cheered loudly from his horse, encouraging the latter to hit harder and beat Arya until she was black and blue.

What exactly went wrong here?
The people of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture didn't understand, but fortunately Arya was quick-witted. After realizing that something was wrong, she didn't care about appearances and immediately scrambled away from the melee, rushing to the horse of the prince's confidant and asking for help.

The presence of the prince's confidants still had a certain deterrent effect. At least the earth goddess priest who initiated the attack and his fanatical followers dared not kill anyone. Once someone fell, they stopped attacking.

After Arya asked the man for help, Grom, who had been rushing over, stopped and dared not cause any trouble.

Then, what happened next was that the players, enraged at losing their spectacle, arrested both sides involved in the conflict and sent them to the palace in Vortradnoy.
