readx(); The two brothers who once fought secretly for the throne with their brother, now when the throne is at hand, Dean, the second prince, chose to retreat in order to protect himself, so he handed over the throne to his brother
It sounds really ironic, but isano riston doesn't think Dean is joking this time.
"Be wise and protect yourself ~ why did you make such a decision? Your highness!" Isano took a deep breath and looked at Dean with some meaning.
"... why?" After muttering a word, 'Dean' smiled helplessly: "isn't this a very obvious thing? The royal family's reputation is shaky. Now the throne is a fire pit. My brother is fascinated by power and wants to sit up at all costs, but I have more places."
For a moment, isano couldn't help opening his eyes. The Cardinal was speechless with an expression as if he had known Dean for the first time.
After witnessing the power of the gods, Prince Dean has completely overturned some ideas he established in his daily life. He originally thought that those towering walls and strong soldiers could guard his own safety. He originally thought that the monarchy could never be forcibly shaken by external forces. In the end, it was just a sand castle built on the beach, The gods in the sky just need to push with their fingers, and they will collapse without suspense. The secular power, let alone facing the gods themselves, is the messenger of the gods. For secular mortals, it is an insurmountable mountain!
This is not only the cardinal's guess, but also the conclusion of aleguso's comprehensive judgment of dean's mental personality and various things. In fact, if aleguso did not replace Dean, his highness, the prince of belrama, would probably give up the throne and choose to protect himself.
"I don't have your highness Dean. You are much better than your brother Victor..." isano finally sighed.
"With all due respect, cardinal, will the royal family really be replaced by the holy see this time?" dudu1();
Aleguso doesn't want to be polite to isano. On the contrary, he has always been interested in the Holy See's planning on the main material plane. After all, the competition between kingship and divine power always affects the situation of the main material plane and void. For demons, the most annoying thing is the overwhelming divine power, Under the restraint of the gods, without the foolish acts of mortals, without the turbulence of war, famine and plague, the evil soul that falls into the distorted void will also be reduced a lot.
In the past, isano would not answer this too sensitive question, but this time, the old man looked at Dean with burning eyes and said forcefully: "you worry too much, your highness, the Holy See will not replace secular rights, nor do you want to take away the king's scepter."
"But the Holy See always wanted to restrain the king, didn't it?"
"Please be careful, your highness Dean."
Isano frowned. Dean's words had gone beyond the standard. The holy see really wanted to restrain the secular kings, but it just wanted to guide the kings to avoid their mistakes. Although the idea of divine power over kingship was poured into the hearts of every bishop of the Holy See, However, every bishop knows that the goddess does not intend to confiscate the king's crown. All people's countries need to be governed by themselves. The goddess does not intend to let believers become puppets who obey themselves, but just hopes that believers will not embark on the wrong path.
"Dean" also said with a vulgar look, regardless of the cardinal's dissuasion: "Mr. iseno, there are only three of us here, and you don't have to worry about anything. In fact, I know very well, including my brother victor. The Holy See has always wanted to restrict the secular power. It can be said that this is a semi public secret, but everyone is unwilling to point it out... Please forgive me. In fact, at first, I also thought that the Holy See's divine power was superior to the royal power I was very dissatisfied with the view that it threatened the legitimacy of the royal family, but it was not until that night that I finally realized the real intention of the Holy See. As you said, the Holy See did not want to seize the king's Scepter at all, but just wanted to avoid secular kings, no! It should be the whole human race that makes mistakes, because our mutual fighting will introduce the devil into the world. "
Hearing this, isano couldn't help but be slightly moved: "your intelligence is beyond my expectation. The most important thing is that I'm very glad to get your understanding, your highness!"
The invisible rift between the Holy See and the secular world has always existed. With the gradual spread of the Holy See doctrine, the king of any country will subconsciously take some explicit or covert means to resist the Holy See, including some propaganda to discredit the Holy See, which makes the bishops of the Holy See indignant and despise the shortsighted behavior of the secular kingdom, The Knights of the Holy See fought bloody battles to eliminate demons and cults, which became an act of excluding dissidents in their eyes. The Holy See took in refugees and transported food for disaster relief, which turned out to be an attempt to weaken the monarchy and buy people's hearts. These fools who did not hesitate to destroy the whole future for a little shallow benefit are harming the world, For a small profit, he did not hesitate to tarnish the majesty of the goddess, squander the love of the goddess, and even did not hesitate to cooperate with evil believers, just to continue to hold the ridiculous right. dudu2();
Like many clergy, isano, who knows how hard the goddess has done to protect the secular world, deeply agrees with the doctrine that the goddess restricts the secular rights. The world is ignorant. Sometimes the world can't distinguish right from wrong, and it is easy to be misled by all kinds of propaganda and false promises. Whether wise or wise, people with iron will will slowly corrode with time, Only the goddess is immortal!
The Holy See has made countless sacrifices to stop the devil's invasion of the main material plane, and made countless efforts to enable mankind to become the dominator of the world, but all these efforts have been slandered and wronged with ulterior motives. Many senior officials of the holy see are also those ignorant people in their hearts.
Today, Dean's recognition makes isano's heart seem to have a knot untied. The Holy See's long-term efforts are not for the supreme interests of mankind, and it doesn't want the whole mankind to be united as indestructible as a rock. However, some people can't understand the great doctrine of the goddess.
But... Cardinal isano of the Holy See didn't know, understood him and recognized him. He was not a believer of the goddess, but the greatest enemy of the gods - the devil!
"The arrival of the devil made the world know the gods again. It can be predicted that the power of the Holy See will multiply in the future. At that time, maybe..." said Dean: "the people remember the name of the goddess ishutar, but they don't necessarily remember who the king on the throne is."
"So are you afraid, your highness Dean?"
"How can I be afraid of cardinal isano? There are many kings who have been put on the guillotine in history. Silvado's foolish actions make the royal family of the whole belrama Kingdom tottering, and the West * * family has begun to cut off from the royal family because of the loss of Miss Eliza as the heir. Now the royal family may be doomed as long as it takes a wrong step At that time, my brother was castrated with conservative ideas, and he didn't realize the importance of the situation at all. Maybe tomorrow is the news of Wang Dusheng's mutiny. I won't be surprised. "
"Since you have foreseen all this, why give the throne to your brother Victor? At this time, you should sit on the throne to stabilize the situation, shouldn't you?" dudu3();
Dean still shook his head: "If I insist on competing for the throne, it will only add fuel to the fire at this crisis moment. The internal struggle between me and my brother will become the last straw to overwhelm the royal family. If I give in, the royal family may survive for a while, and I can use this last time to cut with my brother as much as possible to preserve the safety of my relatives in the future The only thing I can do now is that I don't dare to ask for the rest. "
Isano looked at Dean with some regret. He really didn't expect Prince dean to be so far away, nor did he expect that his Highness's mind would change so much after witnessing the miracles of that day, and his spreading teachings day after day and year after year were not as effective as the Last Shocking warning.
However, at this time, Dean stood up, lowered his head and said helplessly, "cardinal isano, no matter what the Holy See plans to do with the belrama Kingdom, I don't care. Just here, I just want to beg you for one thing. Can you spare me the forgiveness of my mother and sister raffina?"
Isano can clearly feel that Dean is really discouraged. Not to mention the throne of King belrama, the Lord position in Jinsui territory. His highness doesn't seem to want to continue to sit down. Now the prince just wants to become an ordinary person and cut all factors that may hurt himself and his relatives.
As a member of the royal family of belrama Kingdom, Dean's behavior is very irresponsible, but as an ordinary person, Dean should be praised for giving up all glory and wealth for the safety of his relatives.
"Come on, your highness, you're serious. The goddess ishutar is kind. The judgment of the goddess will only come to sinners, and you and your sister have no guilt." Cardinal isano riston here was also moved.
However, the good words are casual. It is only certain that the Holy See will use this demon attack to deal with the royal family members of belrama kingdom. It will officially start only after a ceremony on the other side is completed. However, seeing that Dean is even willing to pay such a price for the safety of his relatives, the cardinal also wants to help the believer, It's just a little nerve racking to deal with it smoothly.
In an instant, another thought came to the Bishop's mind, a way to have the best of both worlds: "if... You are really willing to give up your current identity, your highness, perhaps there is a way to do it."
Dean's eyes showed the brilliance of hope, but the side that belonged to the master of killing in his heart was despised. Dean's giving up or not had nothing to do with himself. What the royal family of this country would do had nothing to do with him. He was obviously tired of fighting with mortals, but now he had to do so. (to be continued.)
