"So I’ve already passed the test?"
Angela shook hands with the Lady, who nodded and said, "Correct. I’ll tell you right now what our organization is all about."
"Oh, oh, oh." Angela perked up her ears eagerly when she heard this.
"You know the Continent is becoming more and more turbulent. First, there were giant dragons appearing, then wild n ran out from the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, followed by the Dwarves who also organized armies to attack us. Marquis Kuren and many Nobles died in battle, not to ntion the Wing Tribe.
"They ca across the sea, seeking to conquer the Continent. Lion Heart Castle is still under their siege now. Tis have changed. Fortresses made of stone are no longer impregnable, and the threats we face are no longer just robbers and a few rebels."
Although Angela wasn’t very knowledgeable about politics, she was familiar with the major events that had occurred in the Empire recently, and she was also worried about them.
Ireya continued, "Relying on our own strength, it’s getting very difficult to defend our territories and nation alone as before, so we need to unite."
"But aren’t we all vassals of the Figrola family? If there really were a strong enemy, the Figrola family would rally all our forces together, right?" Angela asked, puzzled.
"What if Black Stone City, Teacup Castle, and Rock Snow City were attacked at the sa ti? Where do you think the Figrola family would send the army?" the Lady counter-asked.
Angela gasped, "You... You plan to oppose the Figrola family?"
"Of course not," Miss Rabbit shook her head. "We are all vassals of the Figrola family, and of course, we should obey the commands of our Lord. But we can’t possibly send out all our manpower, can we? Besides, there are also many citizens in our territories.
"If we could gather these forces, it would also be a force not to be underestimated. At the very least, we could provide so financial and material support for each other or take in so refugees.
"Additionally, our mbers are not only limited to the Western Border, such as Lord Wild from the fertile corner of Golden Valley whose granddaughter is also a mber of our organization," Ireya said.
"Golden Valley, that’s pretty far from us. If sothing really happened, they wouldn’t be able to help in ti," Angela said with a pout.
"Don’t just look at the imdiate benefits!" The Lady scolded, as if frustrated with Angela’s shortsightedness, even though she had asked the sa question herself last night when discussing the issue with Ruby, Fosto, Duren, and others.
In fact, Miss Rabbit, wanting to keep things simple at first, even considered copying the teachings and precepts of Saturday and creating an organization where everyone worshiped Saturday together. This way, she could even serve her personal interests under the guise of public ones and add fuel to the flas of the romance that was within her reach.
However, Ruby stopped her in the end. Ruby told the Lady that religious orders are not better in greater numbers, and having one is enough; setting up another would only trouble Li Yu.
Moreover, Ruby also proposed that the new organization’s goals should unite the joining Nobles to the maximum extent to foster a sense of belonging and make the organization more attractive.
"As more mbers join, there’ll be other mbers nearby, and we’ll be able to help each other out," the Lady continued to educate Angela.
"Moreover, as I said, this turmoil might sweep across the entire Continent, and we shouldn’t only focus on the Western Border.
"Any mber who joins the Movie Watching Association will be protected by the Association, and if they encounter danger, they can seek help from the organization. Similarly, if they see other mbers in dangerous situations, they cannot just stand by and watch.
"The aim of the organization is to keep a lookout for each other and fend off powerful enemies. anwhile, the internal mbers can also offer trade and tax benefits in the future... hmm, that part isn’t urgent, we can discuss it slowly once there are more people. Do you understand?"
Angela nodded again.
"Oh right, I almost forgot, one more important thing: mbers who join the Movie Watching Association must also be followers of Saturday.
"I know you aren’t yet, but you will be soon. Prophet rlin is coming back tonight to conduct the initiation ceremony for you. You won’t back out halfway, will you?"
Miss Rabbit patted Angela’s shoulder earnestly.
Angela wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but this ti Ireya patted her with such a force that she felt an almost imperceptible hint of murderous intent.
So the Miss Weasel quickly said, "Not at all, not at all."
"Very good," the Lady said with satisfaction and then turned to take out an iron ring from the cabinet beside her, which she had the craftsn rush to make overnight.
The outside of the ring was engraved with a projector, and the inside bore each mber’s mbership number, such as Angela’s number, which was now 38, written in Arabic nurals.
Miss Rabbit handed the ring over to Angela to wear, and made her swear an oath in both personal and family nas.
After copying the oath and keeping a signed record, Angela was officially a mber.
In accordance with the rules of the Movie Watching Association, the Lady also found a reason to get involved in the Immanuel Family’s struggle for the position of Family Head.
And according to the Housekeeper, her actual tasks this ti weren’t particularly nurous. She only had to ensure that the next Head of the Immanuel Family could be selected without external interference. As for the rest, the Housekeeper would naturally take care of it.
The Lady felt that the fifty thousand golden lions she received were rather effortless earnings.
Indeed, once one has achieved prestige, making money becos easier too. Miss Rabbit had recently received two large sums of money in succession. Not only had she recouped the rewards given previously to boost the army’s morale, but she had also made a profit.
On top of that, there had been progress in her love life. It was indeed a ti of double happiness.
Little did she know that wasn’t all. Shortly after she last received a letter from Quintus the High Priest, she received another letter from him.
In the letter, Quintus stated that their mole within the Blood Moon Association had found Hirodod’s hiding place. He hoped the Lady could also send help imdiately to assist in the final capture.
Hirodod had attempted to assassinate Ireya more than once, and Miss Rabbit certainly hadn’t forgotten this vengeance. However, catching the cunning Hirodod, who nobody knew where he was hiding, was impossible.
With him finally showing a slip, the Lady naturally didn’t want to miss this chance, so she asked Juan Knight, who had participated in dragon hunting, to lead a team and selected one hundred Elite Warriors from the Arias family to follow.
Quintus also emphasized in the letter that since this operation was a raid, they didn’t need many people, but they must all be trustworthy. It was crucial not to let the news leak and give Hirodod a chance to be on guard.
