Chapter 192 (1/2)

“We need to bring back the princess right away!”

In the meeting room of the manor, the Volga retainers were speaking terrifyingly loud.

In particular, was Victor, who hadn’t been able to get a good night’s sleep since the disappearance of the princess and then pounded his chest.

“I will be the one to bring the princess back. So please send this old man, Lord!”

Victor was ready to leave his current post if Luke allowed him to.

Of course, Luke who knew his heart had no intention of rejecting his request.

“Please be calm, Sir Victor. We surely need to bring back Reina, so let’s move after we think about it.”

“No, i don’t understand, what is there to think about! This old man will go and come back!”

Luke with a stern face talked to Victor who wasn’t able to hold his emotions.

“The situation in the Holy Empire isn’t so great. And Reina hasn’t contacted us in the last 2 years despite being back from the Spirit World.”

“You think there were obstructions?”

At the question of Pavel who was calmer than Victor, Luke nodded and said, “Exactly. And I wonder if the Holy Empire would react calmly if we went to visit Reina.”

“Well, at those words I would have agreed with the Lord.”

Pavel, who was in bureaucracy for the last years, had a different sense of how things were done.

“If the information sent by the Dark Elves is indeed correct, then the real power of the Holy Empire is with Archbishop Constantine. But if he stays in power and stays as regent, it means that there was a reason for it.”

Luke nodded at Pavel’s words.

“Because a scarecrow would never be put in power.”

Even the scarecrows of the monarchs would never be put in power without a reason.

And the current case seemed like that, usually, such things were done to maintain the lineage of ancestors.

“What about Holy Arthenia Empire? I heard that the Pope doesn’t get married. Isn’t that right, Priest Maron?”

Luke asked Maron, the Priest of Rakan territory, who nodded. But that didn’t stop the thought of entering the mind of Maron.

‘Even without any official wives, the popes did have lovers.’

But such stories about the denomination weren’t supposed to come out, or it could lead to its end.

Meanwhile, Luke was talking.

“If they can’t get married, they won’t be having any heirs, so it isn’t a case lineage problem. Moreover, the Holy Pope needs to be elected from the Conclave”

“Then, maybe because to upkeep the Pope?”

As one of the retainers said, he shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know the entire details, but it seems like an internal situation in the Holy Empire. The thing I wanted to say was, getting Reina would be very troublesome.”

Luke had just the same thing once again, the same words which said at the beginning of the meeting, getting Reina would be hard.

It was shocking what he said next.

“To be honest, I don’t care if she comes back here or not. I’ll just be glad if I can meet with her when the time comes.”
