"Another war?"
Scholar Dwayne exclaimed in shock.
Baron Heidegger nodded expressionlessly and explained, "Prince Rhy wants to declare war on the Mage Congress and send troops to attack Yewel."
Scholar Dwayne was silent.
He could also understand Prince Rhy's motive.
The appearance of the forbidden spell 'Trial's Eye' made all the knights of the empire unable to eat or sleep in peace, especially the paladin Prince Lacy.
He had already killed Mr. Hale, but now, it seemed that he wanted to completely destroy the Mage Congress.
"Yewel will not allow himself to be captured without a fight. Has Prince Lacy not thought of the consequences of doing so? Is he not worried that the mages will risk their lives to destroy him? "
Baron Heidegger sighed and said, "You have not interacted much with Prince Rhy, so you do not understand him.
He is not someone who can be threatened!
Back then, Emperor Reinhardt secretly made an agreement with Mr. Hale, thinking that he could use the power of the mages to suppress Prince Rhy.
Haha, unfortunately, he did not understand. No, perhaps he did, but he did not want to believe it.
If someone held a sword to Prince Rhy's neck, his first reaction would not be to compromise, but to pull out his sword and stab! Even if his neck was pierced through because of this.
This is the pride of a Holy Knight! "
Scholar Dwayne was speechless.
Indeed, if Prince Lacy had been coerced by such means, he wouldn't have been able to overcome all the obstacles and enter the Sanctuary-realm.
Therefore, after knowing that Mr. Hale used a forbidden spell to kill the Duke Of St. Hilde, Prince Rhy immediately went to the Northern Frontier and decisively killed Mr. Hale. He was not worried about whether this action would attract the revenge of the mages.
He even wanted to completely destroy the Mage Congress.
Perhaps he was already prepared to become the next target of this forbidden spell, Trial's Eye.
The mages claimed that they wanted to destroy him, but the Holy Knights would rather die than submit.
Scholar Dwayne's heart was heavy. He asked again, "Has Prince Rhy's proposal been discussed in the Imperial Conference? What is the result? What is the opinion of the Senate? "
Baron Heidegger shook his head and said, "The Imperial Conference has not been held yet, so the attitude of the parties is not clear."
"When will the Imperial Conference be held? Could it be that this proposal has just been proposed? "
"No, half a month ago, after Prince Lacy returned from the Northern Frontier, he proposed this declaration of war, but it was never brought to the Imperial Conference for discussion."
"Why?"
"Because..." Baron Heidegger frowned. "Because His Majesty never attends the Imperial Conference. It's impossible for me to preside over such an important topic."
Scholar Dawn frowned as well.
He had heard that Emperor Reinhardt was not in charge of military affairs. He left military affairs to Prince Leich, government affairs to Baron Heidegger, and foreign affairs to Empress Medella.
In short, he was either obsessed with pursuing the path of a knight, or busy with cuckolding the nobles in the imperial capital …
However, Scholar Dwayne did not expect that Emperor Reinhardt would not attend the Imperial Conference even though the war against the mages was about to be declared. This was too absurd.
Scholar Dwayne immediately realized that perhaps Emperor Reinhardt was deliberately not attending the Imperial Conference.
He was definitely not willing to declare war on the mages, and was even counting on the mages to keep Prince Lacy in check.
Therefore, in the face of Prince Lacy's tyrannical behavior, Emperor Reinhardt chose to —
Hide …
"Are we going to drag this out forever?" Scholar Dwayne felt that Emperor Reinhardt's choice was not wise.
Baron Heidegger's lips curled into a mocking smile. "How can Prince Lacy let this proposal drag on forever? There is another way to mobilize the Central Army of the Empire other than His Majesty's order. "
"The Senate!" Scholar Dwayne immediately reacted.
But then, his frown deepened.
The Senate was set up to restrict the power of the king.
If there was an extremely absurd emperor, there had to be an organization that could keep him in check.
According to the Glorious Charter, as long as the Senate could pass a resolution with an absolute majority (more than two-thirds of the votes), the resolution could take effect directly without the consent of the emperor.
Therefore, as long as Prince Lacy could obtain more than two-thirds of the support in the Senate, he could directly bypass Emperor Reinhardt and start a war against Yewel.
However, Scholar Dwayne also realized that if Prince Lacy really did this, he would completely fall out with Emperor Reinhardt.
"Will the Senate support Prince Lacy in this matter?" Scholar Dwayne's tone was somewhat heavy.
Baron Heidegger shrugged and put on a helpless expression. "You're asking the wrong person. I can't find out the true attitude of the elders in the Senate."
Scholar Dwayne then realized that he had asked a silly question in his confusion.
However, when he thought about the conflict between Baron Heidegger and the Senate, Scholar Dwayne remembered the real purpose of his visit.
"Prime Minister, I actually came to see you this time because I hope that you can stand up for Young Master Joisse at the right time to inherit the Dukes Of The North."
Baron Heidegger was stunned. He was about to say that he had no right to speak on the issue of the succession of the Dukes Of The North, but then he immediately understood Scholar Dwayne's true purpose.
"Hehe, you want to use me to influence the Senate's decision, right? That's a smart approach. Hmm, okay, I'll find a suitable opportunity to help … "
At this point, Baron Heidegger suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something important.
"Prime Minister?" Scholar Dwayne called out in confusion.
"Haha, your train of thought has given me a lot of inspiration!" Baron Heidegger came back to his senses and his face was full of excitement.
"At first, I thought that if Prince Lacy wanted to declare war on the mages through the Senate, I wouldn't be able to do anything. After all, you know that the Senate and I are like fire and water.
But now, you've given me a new way of thinking.
Perhaps, I can really use this method to influence the Senate's decision … "
Scholar Dwayne's eyes flashed. He understood what Baron Heidegger meant, so he asked carefully, "So, do you support Prince Lacy's declaration of war on the mages, or do you oppose it?"
"Oppose!" Baron Heidegger said without hesitation. "Now is not the best time to deal with Yewel!"
Scholar Dwayne nodded in agreement. He also didn't think that it was the right time to provoke Yewel.
The Northern Frontier had just been stabilized, and it seemed that something was going to happen in the Western Region. It was not a wise move for the Empire to provoke the Mage Congress at this time.
Moreover, Vera was also a mage. Scholar Dwayne was also worried that this trend would affect the succession of the Dukes Of The North.
Suddenly, Scholar Dwayne thought of another question. "Oh, by the way, if Emperor Reinhardt is unwilling to attend the Imperial Conference, then I'm afraid that he will not meet Miss Vera, right?"
Baron Heidegger shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I heard some rumors saying that His Majesty has fallen ill and that he has even invited the Pope to treat him. I just don't know if this is true or just an excuse to delay the matter. "
Scholar Dwayne's heart was heavy.
He began to feel that he and Vera would have to wait for a long time in Imperial Dragon City …
At the very least, they would have to wait until the game between Prince Lacy and Emperor Reinhardt came to an end.
This was an extremely dangerous political whirlpool!
If they were not careful and got involved …
Scholar Dwayne had a headache.
Baron Heidegger seemed to have seen through Scholar Dwayne's worries and he asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried that the Northern Frontier will be in chaos if you stay in Imperial Dragon City for too long? "
"The Northern Frontier should not be in chaos. Marquis García is in Winter City."
"That's good." Baron Heidegger looked into Scholar Dwayne's eyes and said seriously, "However, I would like to remind you that it would be best not to arrange for Vera to meet His Majesty before the outcome of this battle is out."
"Why?"
Baron Heidegger did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked slowly, "What kind of person is the easiest to get out of the whirlpool?"
Scholar Dwayne thought for a moment before he said, "A person who has no burdens!"
Baron Heidegger smiled in relief and did not say anything else. He just meticulously peeled the sweet potato.
The expression on his face was so serious that it seemed as though he was carefully carving a piece of art.
"Do you know? The yield of sweet potatoes is much higher than that of wheat. I have always wanted to promote sweet potatoes as a staple food to replace wheat, but I have not been able to get enough recognition. "
Scholar Dwayne smiled and said, "That's because everyone can't bear to live without bread."
Baron Heidegger snorted and said leisurely.
"Perhaps it won't be long before they are not qualified to be so picky about their food anymore."
Scholar Dwayne nodded thoughtfully. When he saw Baron Heidegger eating the sweet potato, he could not help but ask, "Prime Minister, Queen Mydella will be hosting a banquet at the Phoenix Palace tonight to entertain Miss Vera and Viscount Angley. Aren't you going to attend?"
Baron Heidegger shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going. The food at aristocratic banquets makes me sick. I still prefer a coarse food like sweet potatoes. "
Scholar Dwayne smiled faintly and did not try to persuade him anymore. He then picked up another sweet potato from the grill and blew on it while peeling it.
When Baron Heidegger saw this, he asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you going as well? "
Scholar Dwayne took a bite of the sweet potato and said with a smile, "I'm not going. I also think that your family's banquet is more attractive!"
Baron Heidegger laughed heartily and said with a proud expression, "That's right.
"You are the second person in the entire Radiant Empire who has such good taste."
"Oh?" Scholar Dwayne asked curiously. "Then I'm very curious. Who is the other person?"
Baron Heidegger smiled faintly and said a name, "Tournanz."
Scholar Dwayne was shocked.
He knew that this was the name of a cardinal of the Radiant Church. Moreover, this cardinal was the one who was ranked first among the three cardinals!
