You best have a legitimate reason for disturbing so late at night. I have no qualms beheading you for disturbing my ti with my family.
Elizabeth sat down on the sofa. Castell imdiately served her a glass of wine. Elizabeth flicked her black hair. She brushed aside her black face veil and had a drink of the strong wine. The man, who was standing there feeling panic-stricken, knelt down and saluted her. He nearly bit off his tongue as he greeted her in a shaky voice: I-I am very honoured Your Majesty Y-Your Subject o-o-on behalf of the new church.
I dont care who you are. Are you out of people, though? You sent a man who cant even speak to waste my ti?
Elizabeth placed her cup down loudly. She rose and grouchily turned to leave. The man anxiously leapt to his feet and exclaid, Sorry, sorry, sorry I I an, your subject your subject is here for the first ti today and so
Elizabeth looked over her shoulder: Turn around, then. Dont look at , and youll be able to speak, right? I forgive you for being rude. Just tell what you have to say.
Yes, Your Majesty.
The man let out a breath of relief. He turned around to face the wall behind him. He was always told that Empress Elizabeth was an Empress so stern that she violently killed with or without reason, which was why he was so on edge that he virtually couldnt speak. He never imagined her to be so gentle. She didnt reprimand him for his rudeness, nor did she kill him.
Eyes on the wall, he explained, Your Majesty your subject is here to see you on behalf of the new church. Your subject wanted to know if our new church would be able to have the honour of holding Daisys baptism. We have authentic holy water, not the counterfeit type used to swindle people. All wounds can be healed with it; th-.
I dont care if youre the new church or old church. I dont believe in your religion to begin with. I dont understand your internal affairs, either. Thats why I havent interfered. That said, if your matters get Daisy involved, I will never approve. Daisy is my cherished grandchild. I will not allow her to beco a tool for your religious practices conflict. I already spoke to the pope about the baptism and, thus, wont change my decision. If thats what you wanted to discuss, you dont need to say anymore. If thats all, Im heading back.
But is it not true that those on the battlefield all believe in God?
I am the soldiers god.
Castell could see that Elizabeth didnt want to continue with the talk. He, therefore, imdiately called for the Valkyries to escort her back to her palace. The man behind her imdiately raised his head and cried, Your Majesty!! Your Majesty! Please consider it! Please consider it! We guarantee
I said, I dont want to think about this. Daisy isnt a tool for you to gain power or fa. My impression of you is incredibly poor. You dont care for Daisy. You just want to use her to get what you want.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
One more word from him and behead him.
Two Valkyries drew their swords. The man imdiately shut up. The Valkyries went up to his side and bowed: Mister, the discussion has ended. You can leave now.
The Valkyries were polite on the surface, but their blades told a different story. The man had no choice but to leave. He took one last glance at Elizabeth, who exited, and then left the palace.
Im a new believer. I thought that my church was the real church. The miracle I witnessed was a true miracle, but that fraudulent church is leveraging their presence as the older church to impose their influence. We cant engage in physical altercations under Elizabeths influence, but it seems shes not willing to help us. At present, theres only one piece of good news, and that is Empress Elizabeth doesnt plan to help either side, reasoned the new churchs mber.
========
As she headed back to the inner court, Elizabeth grouched, Far out. Theyre a real piece of work.
Castell smiled: Is this about Princess Daisys baptism? At current, the new and old churchs conflict has reached its peak, which is why they are trying everything to try and seize every opportunity. Given the situation, whoever wins the support of the royal family will beco the sole recognised church. However, due to His Majestys history with the old church, they are afraid His Majesty will seek vengeance against them. For that reason, they want to make up for their forr mistakes with this baptism. This will be the biggest baptism in history. The new church, on the other hand, wants to rely on their so-called miracle to win over Princess Daisy.
I wont hand her to anyone. I agreed to have the old church conduct the baptism, so I wont change my decision because of these people. If things get out of hand, cancel the baptism.
Elizabeth irritably threw a punch at the wall to her side, thereby scaring the living daylights out of Castell. He was afraid that Elizabeth would hurt herself. She didnt mind her hand, though. Instead, she went outside and looked at the light in Niers room. After mulling over things, she commanded, Castell, have two Valkyrie teams take over the big chapel, and arrange for the military to enter the city. Ensure that every place is safe. Do not allow any conflicts to occur in the Royal City. Strictly guard the holy water and interior of the church. Do not allow anyone to go near the holy water or Daisy, understood?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Castell understood what Elizabeth ant. Elizabeth didnt want the two factions fighting to hurt the innocent. More importantly, she didnt want them to ruin the baptism. Elizabeth wasnt religious. She rely wanted Daisy to be able to safely make an appearance before the masses. Daisy was set to succeed the throne that Troy wasnt going to succeed. As such, everybody had to know of Daisys existence early. Otherwise, what happened with Troy back then would repeat itself.
But is it really a good idea to let the two religions duke it out? Elizabeth nonchalantly shook her head then snickered. It has nothing to do with ; but nonetheless, isnt that better? The big church split. The remaining two factions want to win my support. Therefore, regardless of who falls, theyll go from an autonomous church into my puppet. That way, the last loose end of my rule that I havent been able to control will be no more. Thats why we just need to watch. Watch them cripple each other, and then well co in and take over.
I see. Castell chuckled.
While Elizabeth didnt kill anymore, she hadnt changed much. She was still as ruthless as ever.
