In the study room of the White family, the atmosphere is a bit solemn.

Colin sat down with Bachelor Dawn and didn't speak.

Only the slight sound of burning candles was heard.

After a while, Bachelor Dawn broke the awkward silence:

"Master Viscount, I have no ill will towards the North. Moreover, the Duke of St. Hilde knew very well that I was sent to the North by the royal family, but he still trusted me."

Colin believed that Bachelor Dawn was telling the truth.

After all, Bachelor Dawn did not hide his identity from beginning to end. He was the second son of the White family, and the White family was also the vassal of the San Lorenzo family.

Therefore, when he ran to the Duke of St. Hilde's allegiance, with Duke St. Hilde's prudence and ability, he must have already figured out the bottom of the Bachelor Dawn, otherwise he would not be so valued.

"Then why are you going to the North?" Colin asked the doubts he had always had in his mind.

It stands to reason that Bachelor Dawn should work for the San Lorenzo family, the prince of his family, instead of running to the north to suffer possible suspicion.

"You may not know that the St. Hild family and the San Lorenzo family have always been allies in the fight against the church."

"Oh?" Colin moved slightly in his heart, and suddenly thought of the great change in the empire three hundred years ago.

Bachelor Dawn continued to explain: "The death of the Duke of St. Hild was too sudden to inform his heirs. Therefore, even Miss Vera is not clear about this matter, but if you ask the Marquis of Garcia, he will definitely Give you a positive answer."

"What are the main forces of your alliance against the church?"

"The most important thing is actually the two powers-Scarlet Flames and the Northern Territory."

Colin was startled, his body leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Are the other three realms all from the influence of the church?"

"No." Bachelor Dawn shook his head. "Only the East is a hard-core church power. You must be aware that almost every Duke of the East will marry a pastor as his wife. They are the church’s strongest support in the secular world. The person.

The Southern Territory has always maintained neutrality, neither leaning toward the church, nor keeping a certain distance from the royal family. In recent years, the trend of independence has become more and more obvious. What will happen in the future...it is hard to say.

As for the Western Territory, because they face the most dangerous enemy of the empire, the Orcs, and they have been eager to receive military assistance. Therefore, their strategy is vacillating. They use this as an excuse to ask for support from the royal family or the church. A reliable ally.

Moreover, because of the Duke of the West, they are more biased towards the church. "

"Why?" Colin suddenly wondered, "If I remember correctly, this generation of Duke of the West is a Paladin."

"Yes. There are two living paladins in the Glorious Empire, Prince Leahy and Duke Saint-Grian." Bachelor Dawn flashed his eyes, and suddenly asked a question that seemed irrelevant, "Viscount-sir, you have Never thought about why Prince Leahy and His Majesty the Emperor have never dealt with it?"

Colin wanted to say that this is not a matter of course. Whoever becomes the emperor will be jealous of a prince who is superior to him in terms of prestige and force.

But immediately, he thought of the scene at the Holy Light Cathedral today. When Queen Midella proposed to plan the remains of the Archon Letom, the strongest opposition was not Prince Leahy, but Pope Gregor. Rui!

"Could it be that Prince Lexi is close to the church?"

"Yes!" Bachelor Dawn nodded, "So you should understand why the emperor must expel Prince Leahy. With Prince Leahy in the Dragon City, the San Lorenzo line cannot form a synergy. This alliance against the church will exist in name only."

Colin then wondered again: "As the guardian of the San Lorenzo family, why did Prince Leahy get close to the church? And what does this have to do with the Duke of the West's preference for the church?"

Bachelor Dawn took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice: "My Lord Viscount, in fact, all Paladins will be biased towards the church!"

"Why?" Colin stunned, realizing that this might be the crux of the problem.

"Because once a Paladin is injured, it must be restored with the help of high-level priests. And this is the key method for the church to control the highest-level combat power of the human race!"

Colin suddenly thought of the Bishop of Winter City who had died suddenly at the beginning of this year, and asked: "Then the Duke of St. Hild was injured in a fight with a troll paladin..."

"After the Duke was injured, he found Bishop Jean and Archbishop Raven, hoping to be rescued, but Archbishop Raven took the opportunity to threaten the Lord Duke, and wanted to use this to make the Northern Territory fall to the side of the church.

However, Lord Duke was unwilling to be threatened by the church and forced Archbishop Raven to perform healing techniques for himself. After the opponent refused to agree, Lord Duke blatantly killed Bishop Jean, and Archbishop Raven yielded. "

Colin was slightly startled, and sighed that the Duke of St. Hild was really ruthless.

"Archbishop Na Raven was later dismissed from the church. Was it because of this incident?"

"Yes. After knowing that Lord Duke was promoted to Paladin, the church has been trying to win over the North, but Lord Duke did not immediately give in. He didn't want to become a puppet of the church.

In fact, Lord Duke’s injury was very serious, and the one-time treatment by Archbishop Raven was not enough. For this reason, although Lord Duke had not yet turned to the church, the emperor no longer trusted his allies as before.

He was worried that the Duke of St. Hild would fall to the church sooner or later, because the Duke could not let his injuries worsen. "

Colin nodded, only then did he understand why the emperor had to indulge Mr. Coquettish to disrupt the northern realm, and even acquiesced to the other party to kill his eldest brother with the "eye of judgment".

If the three realms of the east, the west, and the north all fall to the church, how can the majesty of the royal family be maintained?

The church will really become the de facto master of the Glorious Empire.

Colin's heart was heavy, and he said dejectedly: "If the Paladins will fall to the church, then I think the royal family has no chance of winning..."

But Bachelor Dawn shook his head and said, "Viscount Lord, you are wrong to think so."

"Oh? Why?"

"How proud is the paladin, how could he be willing to be manipulated and coerced by the church with this method?

The Duke of St. Hilde was so badly wounded that even if he was jealous of the emperor and threatened by the archbishop, he did not fall to the church until his death.

If Prince Leahy hadn't been taken seriously since he was a child of the San Lorenzo family, and most of his training resources were funded by the church, he would not be willing to become a thug in the church.

As for the Duke of Saint-Griann in the West, he was often injured due to the threats from the orcs. Without the healing skills of the church, he would not be able to hold it for so long. Therefore, he is currently helpless to favor the church.

But I believe that if the royal family and the church tear their faces, Prince Leahy and the Duke of St. Grien will most likely not help the church! "

Colin thought for a while, and felt that Dawn's words made sense.

No paladin is willing to be intimidated by the church, even if he surrenders to the church on the surface, he will not sincerely obey.

Seeing Colin sinking into contemplation, Bachelor Dawn asked again: "My lord Viscount, do you know how old the founding emperor of the Glorious Empire was, when His Majesty Ghana passed away?"

"Well... I just remember that he seemed quite young when he passed away."

"Yes. His Majesty Garner died young when he was fifty-seven!"

Colin immediately realized that there was a problem.

How could a legendary paladin die so early.

"Could it be because of the church?"

"Yes. His Majesty Ghana has been fighting for a lifetime, even if he is superior, he will inevitably be injured. When the relationship between the royal family and the church is harmonious, this is of course not a problem.

But later, when His Majesty Ghana deliberately restricted the influence of the church, the Pope immediately banned priests from performing healing techniques on His Majesty, and even those Paladins who were unwilling to cooperate.

This also led to the deterioration of His Majesty Ghana's injuries, but even so, His Majesty Ghana did not yield to the church until his death.

Therefore, in fact, this is a secret battle that has lasted from the beginning of the founding of the nation to the present. The royal family hopes that the church will only become a spiritual symbol, without retaining the army and not mingling with secular government affairs.

But obviously, the church is not satisfied with this. They want to be the uncrowned kings of the empire, and want emperors and nobles to be marionettes in their hands.

Therefore, this confrontation will continue.

And the northern border is the key to the current competition between the two sides!

Moreover, you may not realize that you, who defeated the Eastern Pegasus Legion, are also the target of the royal family. "

Colin nodded, and then he understood why in the carriage today, the emperor would let the prince and princess worship him as a teacher.

This is to make him a sharp sword in the hands of the royal family, leading the northern army to attack the east of the church.

Colin fell silent.

In fact, he didn't want to get involved in the power struggle between the royal family and the church.

He has no ill feeling towards the church, nor does he show much loyalty to the royal family.

If he wanted to make him an offensive pawn, Colin would not be easily fooled.

Unless, it is profitable...

"I understand." Colin smiled freely and stood up and said, "Thank you for helping me answer a lot of doubts. The situation of the Glorious Empire is no longer shrouded in a mist for me now."

"It's my pleasure!"

"Okay, UU reading I want to go back to rest. I understand that I have to accompany Vera to the Senate."

"Okay, Master Viscount, I will see you off."

Bachelor Dawn sent Colin all the way to the gate, and just waved goodbye, but when he saw Colin suddenly turned around, he smiled and asked:

"Dawn, are you loyal to the North, or are you loyal to the royal family?"

Bachelor Dawn was stunned, took a look at Colin, and then replied solemnly:

"I am loyal to the Glory Empire!"

Colin looked at Bachelor Dawn in some surprise, and then seemed to understand something, but he didn't comment on it. He just smiled and turned and left.
