Steven Roger shared all the information that was with him. He was so anxious that he inford Shun about all the secret deals he had with Broken Hill Industries.
It didn't take Shun a very long ti to figure out that soone was manipulating behind the shadows. In fact, he had also co to the sa conclusion as Steven Roger that it was the previous duchess of the Walsh Dukedom who instigated this plan.
Shun even deduced the presence of a spy within the Radiant Church, who had been responsible for the frosty relations between the Radiant Church and the Roger Dukedom.
It was Archbishop Chris.
This was definitely news to Steven. He was instantly enraged as he rembered this man who used to co to the Roger Dukedom on behalf of the Radiant Church under the pretext of the diplomatic etings.
Now that he recalled it, each ti this man had co to the Roger Dukedom for these diplomatic etings, their relationship with the Radiant Church took a significant hit.
After informing him of the na of the Walsh Dukedom's spy within the Radiant Church, Shun asked Steven to calm down. He couldn't take action in his rage, or even with his assistance, it would be impossible for the Roger Dukedom to survive this tribulation.
Shun then proceeded to tell Steven of what had possibly happened. And how the destruction of the Radiant Church's branch seed to have been linked with the Roger Dukedom.
He was rely guessing the possibilities of how the Walsh Dukedom had managed to fra Roger Dukedom.
And each of these possibilities startled Steven greatly. The planning was so good that he couldn't think of a way to resolve this situation.
"What should we do then? Do I look for the Radiant Church and resolve this misunderstanding?" Steven asked.
Shun replied almost imdiately, "They won't listen to you. In their opinion, you are going to give excuses to save your skin. No matter how logical your excuses are. Instead of submitting to the Radiant Church, just have a battle with them. Are you truly scared to fight the Radiant Church in an open battle?"
"I know that as the strongest Dukedom within the Sinyalian Kingdom, you have your own trump cards. Perhaps you are unwilling to use them against the Radiant Church, but rember that you do not need to be scared of them. You rely need to deny any accusations by the Radiant Church and declare that you are willing to have a eting to resolve this misunderstanding."
"The Radiant Church will definitely ignore your words. However, this will allow you to regain so face among the citizens. Even if it would be a small number of people, they will imdiately think that you have been frad by soone. I want this ntality to spread." Shun spoke.
Steven frowned slightly and asked, "How are you so sure that the Radiant Church will ignore my words? Maybe they will look for once I say that I am willing to discuss things with them."
Shun sneered in response and replied, "If it was just the Radiant Church, it might have been possible. But there is another troubleso man who will prevent you from reconciling with the Radiant Church."
"Who is this person? Archbishop Chris?" Steven asked, but he received no answer.
Shun wasn't going to inform him of Edwin's true identity. How could he tell Steven that they were actually fighting a reincarnated Demon God?
If he really did ntion it to Steven, perhaps Steven would die of a heart attack rather than in a fight against the Radiant Church.

Edwin returned to Walsh Dukedom's Mansion. After destroying the Radiant Church in Kresa Town, he had flown towards the Walsh Dukedom's Mansion at his fastest pace.
Once he returned, he t up with Siluca directly.
Siluca had already inford her servants to never stop Edwin from eting her.
Currently, Siluca was eating lunch with her daughter Anna in the dining hall. When Edwin appeared, Siluca imdiately glanced at Anna and seed to be telling her to leave.
Anna understood her mother's glance and picked up her plate before leaving the dining hall. While leaving the hall, her eyes were fixed on Edwin.
"It's ti for us to initiate the next phase of the plan," Edwin spoke with a serious tone.
Siluca was quite curious about this next phase of the plan. Edwin had only shared an outline of the plan with her.
He had yet to inform her of the specific parts relating to the plan. Edwin then suddenly placed his hand over his mask and pulled it away from his face.
As Siluca glanced at Edwin's face, her eyes widened imdiately.
She wasn't shocked because she was familiar with Edwin. No… She was certain that this was her first encounter with him.
As a duchess, she had never t Edwin. She was only familiar with Jonas a bit, but that was just a formality. Edwin's facial appearance was quite different from Jonas's, so he was confident that Siluca couldn't link him with the Rhodes Noble House.
Siluca's thoughts seed to have frozen as a result of her astonishnt. This was her first ti seeing such a gorgeous man.
As a duchess of the Walsh Dukedom and her scuffle with her husband, she innately despised n.
However, currently, Edwin's appearance was so handso that her heart was beating quite crazily.
Edwin's handso appearance combined with the Absolute Beauty skill was quite effective even on Siluca Walsh.
Edwin noticed Siluca's reactions. This was an unexpected benefit for him.
"My na is Nudar."
Edwin's words jolted Siluca awake. She couldn't believe that she got lost in thoughts just after seeing Edwin's handso appearance.
There was a serious look on her face as she asked Edwin, "What do you plan to do? Tell before I take any further actions?"
~~
Siluca Walsh went to et the higher-ups of the Radiant Church.
She brought a bouquet of flowers with her to pay her respects to the priests and the deacons who had been killed when Edwin destroyed the Radiant Church's branch in Kresa Town.
In reality, she didn't want to co here and talk to these people. However, Edwin had repeatedly told her that this was quite important to initiate their next phase of the plan.
It was none other than Archbishop Chris who ca out to receive her.
He showed her a frosty cold look and spoke, "What brings the duchess here?"
"I heard the news. I am incredibly saddened by the news of the death of the priests in Kresa Town. Unfortunately, I am buried under a mountain of tasks, and I can't visit the Kresa Town, so I can only co and pay them respects here." She spoke with a cool tone.
Just as Archbishop Chris was wondering whether he should let her in or not, the Pople's voice resounded in his mind, "Allow her to enter. I need to talk to her."
Siluca entered the great hall and t up with the Pope.
There was an ugly look on the Pope's face as he stared at Siluca. He spoke with a disdainful expression, "You must be extrely pleased to hear the news."
When Siluca heard the Pope, she resisted the urge to nod and agree with those words.
However, if she did, it would completely infuriate the Pope, and she would fail the task.
"Please do not joke around, Pope. Soone with your prestige shouldn't speak randomly about certain things. The Radiant Church and the Walsh Dukedom had their differences because of business and other things. But you must agree with when I say that we have done our best for the citizens. Since the ti I beca a duchess, I have realized that this peace in the territory exists only because of the presence of the Radiant Church."
"If not for your presence, the cri rate within the Walsh Dukedom would be much greater. Thus, I am truly thankful for your silent support for all these years." Siluca spoke sincerely.
As a duchess, even though she wasn't the best in terms of planning, she was quite good at acting. Siluca was so good in acting that even the Pope didn't sense anything wrong.
"I wish to pay my respects to the priests who died in Kresa Town," Siluca spoke.
There was a sad look on the Pope's face as he spoke, "Follow ."
The two soon reached the location where Siluca paid her respects to the graves of the clerics who had been killed by Edwin.
She internally wanted to laugh at these people who had been killed in their sleep.
However, she managed to hold herself and then faced the Pope, "Other than paying my respects to the dead, I also ca here to inform sothing to the Pope."
"The Walsh Dukedom will support the Radiant Church in the fight against the Roger Dukedom."
