297 A WHISPER THAT STARTED EVERYTHING 5 (1/2)

'Are all information gathering organization like this? Are all of them like playing being mysterious like that' she thought to herself as she took the paper bag and quickly went back to her inn.

She locks her door room, make sure that there is no surveillance magic in her room and she uses her Sensitive Awareness to check whether there is anyone trying to come near her room.

'I guess old habits die hard' she thought, right now, no one knows that she is in Greater Veranis' The only organization that would really pay attention to her would be the Church and the holy Zun Empire.

Though she didn't know how far the influence of the new religion had spread, she would not be surprised if there is a devotee of the Church in Vanheim, hiding in plain sight

And she bets that the Church and the Holy Zun Empire had something else to worry about now.

She smiles at the thought.

As she was strolling below her inn in the morning, she heard from some random conversation that the Pope and the Holy Maiden of Arleans had returned to the Southern Region.

And in their return, some of the old bishop were executed for trying to usurp the position of the Pope

It is a mess now in the Holy Zun Empire.

This is public knowledge because the execution and the return of the Pope and Arianna of the South is very public.

She hopes that she could hear about the news of the return of the Chancellor but no one seems to be talking about it.

And that was to be expected.

The common people of the world might think that the relationship between the new Emperor and the Chancellor was as good as it was during the reign of King George.

But to those who in the know, they know it is not that simple.

The Emperor influence in the court has always been smaller than the Chancellor who rules the Six Councils of the Empire.

The key of the Six Council is in the Chancellor hand and as such no other person in the land had as much power as he did.

That is why if the Chancellor is at somewhere else, then he would be hiding himself.

For the people of the Western Heaven, they were also curious why the Chancellor never rebels against the Emperor.

With his power and his influence in the court, if he truly rebels against the Empire, there would be no doubt that he would emerge victorious.

Was it that he was truly loyal to the kingdom he once had served or he had other reservation against rebelling on the young Emperor?

Whatever the reason was, Viola could guess that even if the Emperor and the Chancellor is on different sides, they would not like to make their battle public.

Everyone knows that the only reason Emperor Edward could held on tight to the throne, is mostly because of Chancellor support

If it is revealed that the Emperor tries to kill the Chancellor, then there would be a label at him trying to kill his Imperial Father most trusted subordinate.

The late King George had already decree that as long as the Chancellor did not betray the kingdom, he would be given imperial pardon for any small crimes.

And the Chancellor also did not want a public fight with the Emperor since he too did not want to be branded as an unloyal and treasonous official.

Thus they could only fight their battles in secret.

Though Viola do not know if her speculations is correct or not since times had changed then before.

They, the people, of Western Heaven had disappeared from this world for years and the native people of this world, their time just started a few months ago before they were summoned back into this world.

Viola tries to remember her life in the Western Heaven but she is coming up with blanks. That is why she had to go to information brokers.

Maybe some of them have already got the information regarding the whereabouts of the Chancellor.

The return of such an influential person would surely alerts many powerful people in the land and as such, it must be quite a valuable information the black market.

She sighed before she opens the appear bag.

She hopes she found the answer to her question.

Outside, the fireworks shot off into the skies and flower blooms in the skies as she brought out the many documents outside of the paper bag and bean examining and reading it one by one.
