389. Conflict (6)

A heavy silence falls over the heads of the cardinals.

Dismissal? Sigismund's savior who returned with the Knight of Grace? The hero of Bathurst Spirit who made the most outstanding contribution in defeating the giant demon species?

Above all, the son whom Seonghwang takes great care of, even putting off government affairs?

"... "That shouldn't be said."

After a while, it was Cardinal Cafran who broke the silence and spoke. His dignified and refined appearance was closer to that of a high-ranking nobleman than that of a priest.

"There needs to be a clear basis for the dismissal of a Holy Knight. As provided in the Holy Law, there must be a serious disqualification for him, such as summoning the devil or worshiping the devil."

"There's a demonic energy radiating from him! "If that is not the decisive basis for devil worship, then what is?"

"We cannot discuss the dismissal of Prince Mores simply because we feel an 'unfamiliar energy' without clear evidence. "Maybe some of the erosion is left behind as an aftereffect of dealing with the giant demon species too hard."

Cardinal Kapran showed caution by not even hastily saying the word 'Magi'. Unlike Cardinal Benitus, who speaks harshly and goes on a rampage, he speaks politely and politely to members of the royal family.

"Besides, if Prince Mores had really committed such a crime, would His Majesty the Holy Emperor have protected him to such an extent?"

Perhaps it is not because he really respects Prince Mores. He is simply aware through his experience that his position can collapse at any time with a single gesture of success.

So, in the absence of success, we had no choice but to be more passive. Even though there was a golden opportunity to defeat his grandson's rival in one fell swoop.

"The thousand-year holy kingdom ruled by the representative of the Lord is a sacred land that cannot be invaded by anything evil. "Even daring to entertain such suspicions can be considered blasphemy, so you should not rashly conclude that something is 'magic' without any evidence."

It was an attitude of pretending not to know something that was clearly visible, but Cardinal Kapran's point cannot be overlooked. Cardinal Cesare, who was next to him, nodded his head.

"That's right. Delcross is the kingdom of the Lord established on earth, and a kingdom that all countries on the continent look up to. "But if it becomes known that the prince of the Holy Emperor was dismissed for such reasons, what will our empire's reputation be like?"

For Cesare, who was busy keeping the Orthodox Church and Archbishop Wesker in check, Prince Mores' position was a good thing. Therefore, as the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he cannot help but be concerned about the opinions of other countries.

In response to the cardinals' passive attitude, Cardinal Benitus suddenly distorted his face.

"no! Is that something that can be said by those who are now the closest servants of the Lord? That evil thing is proudly walking around the imperial palace! Moreover, while Your Majesty is away, they are setting fire to the imperial palace! But are you saying that saving face is more important to you now?!"

Benitus jumped up and down, ready to spout fire from his eyes at any moment.

But the cardinals' reaction was shocking. Even Cardinal Diggory, who was crumpled in a corner, was sweating profusely and speaking in an uncertain voice!

"For such an important matter, we must first find out His Majesty's will. I guess waiting until he comes out of the prayer room... ... ."

Diggory was filled with fear. Recently, due to insufficient evidence, his grandson Kenneth was taken out of the ecliptic.
