"The Holy Royal Court has spread the glory of the Divine Lord for a thousand years, protecting all beings. Now that the Divine Lord is in slumber, the Royal Court has beco corrupt, and the Church is deeply entrenched in maladministration and increasingly fallen, which has prompted the Divine Lord to warn through the Saintess..."
"Effective today, the New Moon Diocese will initiate an internal review led by Great Judge Bernard de Champagne as the head reviewer, with Joseph de Mazarin as the deputy reviewer, to examine the faith and discipline of all clergy in the diocese!"
When this news was announced, the entire New Moon Diocese was shaken, and even Charlotte’s popularity surged again, trending from the top news in Lutecia to the top news in New Moon.
Helpless, although in the Great Priest’s words, was her refusal the trigger for the Church’s self-investigation?
Indeed, it impacted the entire diocesan policy single-handedly.
Upon learning this, Charlotte finally realized what the Great Priest intended to do.
Charlotte’s refusal to beco the Saintess was bound to be no secret, so the Church might as well expose it themselves and use it as a reason to reorganize the whole New Moon Diocese.
With this realization, Charlotte fell into deep thought.
Any major reform of an organization is full of resistance, but the reason chosen by the Great Priest could indeed silence many priests.
At the sa ti, restructuring the diocese also strengthens cohesion and reorganizes power. It might impact the authority and power of the New Moon Diocese in the short term, but in the long run, it is beneficial to strengthening the faith and religious power of the New Moon Diocese.
However... choosing such a comprehensive review, isn’t it a bit hasty?
Louis V took advantage of the Blood Demon Church to start reforming the Kingdom Nobles and further strengthen centralization. Now even the Great Priest of New Moon, amid the instability of the Church, is conducting an internal review...
It seems... both the King and the Church are acting urgently, as if preparing for sothing.
Not only that, compared to the Church’s docunts, the activities of the Blood Demon Church have been more frequent in the past two years. The "Divine Descent" rituals, which might not occur even once in many years, Charlotte has already witnessed three tis since her arrival.
Even the Nais clan of the Falling Star Kingdom seems to be planning a coup this year, also appearing very urgent.
Monitoring the news from the Royal Palace and the Grand Cathedral, and recalling the various movents of the Blood Demon Church and the Nais clan, Charlotte sank into thought.
"There must be so major event about to happen."
She murmured.
Charlotte didn’t know the connections, but she felt vaguely that sothing was about to happen.
And, it seed to be a major event known within the upper echelons of these major forces.
"A major event known by the upper echelons..."
Charlotte’s eyes flickered, thinking of Albrecht, whom she had forcibly made into a Blood Servant.
Albrecht had prepared the grand sacrifice in Lutecia, which Charlotte had disrupted, but this Third Angel Envoy of the Bloodline Church must also know sothing.
Not only that, since it involved the Blood Demon Church, it probably also had sothing to do with the Bloodline.
With this in mind, Charlotte delved into her consciousness, calling up Albrecht’s mories transford into a library:
"Bring up the major events about to happen recently."
Ethereal books flew up, landing in Charlotte’s hands, and the imprinted mories of Albrecht also unfolded in Charlotte’s mind.
And when Charlotte accessed the imprinted mories of the other, her expression swiftly took on a hint of astonishnt:
"Holy Presence Day?"
