Chapter 564 If Someone Thinks For You Wholeheartedly Without Expecting Anything In return, Then He Must Be Thinking For Himself
The series of effects brought about by the assassination of Grand Duke Joan of Arc are spreading rapidly. Martial law has begun in the city of Toddeiras. At this time, the streets that did not have a curfew are now curfewed after nine o'clock in the evening, except for the King's Avenue. Anyone who went out on the streets after nine o'clock was locked in a cell.In addition, a large number of soldiers gathered near the court of Grand Duke Joan of Arc, almost reaching the terrifying level of two guards at fifty paces.

Even within the walls of the royal court, there is a group of patrolling soldiers patrolling uninterruptedly every 10 minutes, and they will not let go of any disturbance.

Wang Ting is like a tightly guarded forbidden area, where even birds cannot fall down.

"There's no need to be so nervous." The recovered Grand Duke Joan of Arc sat on the throne, and she felt that these guards were a little too sensitive.The black priests are not all lunatics, it is impossible for them to continue to send people to die at this time, instead of encircling the royal court so that even the air can hardly get in, it is better to think about how to investigate those people who appear inexplicably in the city.

In fact, interrogation is useless. As the capital of the closed country, a large number of floating population enters or leaves this city every day.It is precisely because of the existence of these people that the prosperity of this city has been promoted.If all these floating population and those who do not have the household registration of Toddillas City are expelled, the city will probably be depressed in an instant to the point where there are few people.

Local people are often operators. They need workers and consumers. Both workers and consumers are respected by the floating population.

The chief retainer of Grand Duke Joan of Arc is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He inherited his father's position and was loyal to the family of Grand Duke Joan of Arc.This retainer has short black hair, mustache, and fair complexion. He looks like someone who has never suffered.He shook his head and refuted Grand Duke Jeanne's opinion, "Your Highness, the black priests have always been famous for their madness. They will not accept the fact that the first assassination failed. In the next period of time, you may have to face For the second, third or even more assassinations, they will not stop until they think that the rewards for assassinating you are not equal."

He paused for a moment, and then continued in a playful tone, "Some time ago, Her Majesty the Queen issued a public speech against you, and then you were assassinated. I think there may be something wrong between the two." There may be a known relationship!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Grand Duke Joan shook his head, "Probably not, the empire has been suppressing black priests all the time, and black priests have been involved in dozens or even more murders of nobles, even if Pars wants to If you want to cooperate with the black priest, the elders will not be indifferent."

Murder of political opponents and dissidents is indeed the most inferior method, but it is also the most effective method. If the opponent is physically eliminated, there will be no more people and voices who oppose it, and it can also deter others.In the history of the Orlando Empire, dozens of murders of nobles have been implicated in black priests, which is one of the reasons why the empire has been suppressing black priests.

If Empress Pars and the black priests collude, the first one to jump out is the House of Elders. Although those old antiques don't have much power in their hands now, their influence on the noble class is still there, and they can also launch A large number of nobles objected to the queen's actions.The second is that the real partner of the empire is the church, and the church and the black priest are against each other. If the empire gave up the power of the church and chose the black priest in order to assassinate her, that would be the biggest joke.

The minister nodded, looking at Grand Duke Joan of Arc, he suddenly asked, "Your Highness, your outfit..."

All the retainers and generals in the hall focused their eyes on Grand Duke Joan of Arc.They had long wondered why Grand Duke Joan of Arc would give up her usual makeup and become like this.It's not that such an Grand Duke Joan of Arc is bad, but that in the face of the current special situation in the Principality, only a heroic Valkyrie in military uniform can make people feel at ease.

As if he knew that these people would ask such a question, Grand Duke Joan smiled, "I have recently gained faith."

There is no need to repeat the rest. There are only two religious organizations in the Orlando Empire, one is the Church of Light and the other is the Church of Blackness.The former often appears in front of people with a positive image, while the latter has just carried out a sudden assassination of Grand Duke Joan of Arc. The conclusion is self-evident that Grand Duke Joan of Arc has become a believer in the Church of Light.

Silence spread in an instant, and the atmosphere in the hall became dignified, and there were also some strange embarrassments, and Grand Ann Jeanne of Arc responded to it.

Whether everyone is weighing the pros and cons, these "ministers" are completely different from the ministers under Queen Pars. The reason why they exist and have power is because they are the retainers and family members of Grand Duke Joan. Will.Without the recognition and appreciation of Grand Duke Joan of Arc, they are nothing and have nothing.So they had to weigh all the pros and cons and clear all obstacles for Grand Duke Joan of Arc, not for themselves, but for their queen.

This is different from the ministers of those countries. They are loyal to their surnames and their families. When faced with a huge choice of interests, they will only fall to the family, not the royal family.

After a long silence, the vassal smiled wryly and shook his head, "Your Highness, your choice is truly...unexpected!"

These people are well aware of the consequences of Grand Duke Joan's furious massacre of the city, especially after Empress Pars's public speech in the imperial capital, she has already confirmed the final possibility.There must be a war between the Principality and the Empire!
Based on the current situation, this war is still far away, at least it is impossible to break out in a short period of time.There will be no war until the Northern Expedition is over, Queen Pars has not cleared away the opposing voices of the aristocratic class in the empire, and has not resisted the peeps from the full moon and Byron.But once these things are resolved, the war will break out.

The power of the principality is absolutely unable to compete with the power of the empire, especially the power erupted by Queen Pars who has unified the power of most nobles.The retainers thought it was best to run away when it was time to run away. It was not a shameful thing to leave Orlando, and it would be foolish to stay and watch themselves being crushed into scum by the empire.

It's just that no one expected that their Highness the Valkyrie would hook up with the church so quickly.

There is a good side to hooking up with the church. The resources of the church are obviously wider and more channels than that of Grand Duke Joan himself.After all, the church has existed since the age of mythology. If it is said that the church has no trump card, no one will believe such stupid words.With so many empires and so many forces, the church has been destroyed long ago, and they will be given the opportunity to pass on to the present?
But at the same time, the disadvantages are also obvious.The empire is restricting the development of the church, and the principality and the church have formed a tendency to unite. Empress Pars hates the principality and Grand Duke Joan even more, and her methods will become more intense.

But then again, the result is the same as not being connected with the church, so it doesn't matter.

　No responsibility to push a few books, everyone understands the reason.Besides, I'm going to attend the memorial service tomorrow, what should I do if I don't have black and swollen clothes?

　　"My Personal Witch" is not popular, I haven't seen it

　　"God's Mercy" looks very epic in its name, but I haven't seen it
　　Can anyone tell me what this means?Haven't seen it either.

　　"Empire on Dragon's Back" Well, this dragon is really big, and I haven't seen it before.
