Chapter 224: Albert’s Decision
Annan didn’t kno much Albert understood, but he nodded anyway and indicated that he would seriously consider it
But as Albert had said, even if he illing to coht not reciprocate the sadom
With the expulsion and iy, the Third Prince would inevitably suffer heavy losses The Princess Royal, who the Rotten Man Church suppressed previously, would have a ’s physical condition was getting worse More and more officials and nobles would side with her as tinated to be the king’s heir
The balance created between the Princess Royal and the Third Prince would collapse instantly
If the Third Prince tried to survive in this situation, he had to ally with Albert Only then would he have a chance to contend against the Princess Royal
Of course, Albert would undoubtedly be unwilling to ally with the Third Prince After all, he just learned that the Third Prince had planned to sacrifice not only the Old King and the Princess Royal but also a humble and low-profile prince like himself
However, it would be uncertain whether Princess Royal would believe it or not
Her Highness, born in the military, treated both the Silver Sire Church and the Rotten Man Church as threats and political instability to the Noah Kingdom They were “outsiders” who intended to snatch power in the kingdo close to Rotten Man Church and the Fourth Prince being close to Silver Sire Church were both enemies that needed to be eliminated and suppressed Moreover, Albert’s presence would becoer than the Third Prince, who had completely lost power
Therefore, Albert had actually fallen into a tough spot after the Rotten Man Church lost power The other two royal heirs who had not paid attention to hi to kill him
When the Rotten Man church used him like a marionette, he could live safely as a mediator of the situation
If it were the past, Albert would completely abandon the connection with Silver Sire Church and surrender to the Princess Royal in a lowly iven that he wasn’t fond of political power and he was tied now
Albert learned that his daughter Kafni’s sole curse was to succeed to the throne
Even Albert, who didn’t knowa curse would bring tremendous harm, possibly even death
Even so, he still didn’t have the deterht for the throne
He only planned to “go back to the capital and have a look beforethe decision”
Thus, he didn’t completely sever the relationshi+p with Silver Sire Church but put some distance between them at the sao to the royal capital at the end of spring, he made a boldfor the tio back and see for himself the situation there
“I’m not sure whether the expulsion of the Rotten Man Church will result in all of theirarrested immediately at once under the work of a divine miracle, or if the arrest would take sohed and said to Annan with some worries, “If it is the latter case, I have every reason to believe that we can’t capture all Rotten Man believers We can only give priority to control those who are in high positions”
For example, his wife
Until now, Albert knehy he and his wife had been , but there was only one child, Kafni He didn’t even have an illegitiuess when his wife began to believe in Rotten Man
Four and five years after Kafni was born, his as pregnant twice Unfortunately, she miscarried even under the care of the royal faht, it seemed that there was only one answer The root cause was his wife herself
After that, his wife never becauilt and syain
“But I auess that this matter is related toas I’m extra careful, I think I can protect myself In the worst-case scenario, I will stay in the Royal Capital Church and not go out, but the situation will be different for Kafni
“Besides the Rotten Man Church ill be keeping a close eye on her, the Her out her whereabouts too I may not have the ability to protect her in the royal capital”
As Albert spoke, he glanced secretly at Bishop Daryl
Although Bishop Daryl was being inconspicuous, Albert had already noticed the bishop’s respectful attitude toward Annan It was just that he was tacit and didn’t point it out directly
Leaving Kafni in Roseburg for a few months was his last resort
In actual fact, he didn’t like leaving his beautiful daughter at such a distant place away frohter
If Albert decided to sit out froer However, if he decided to go back to fight for the throne, Kafni would also probably end up with a bad fate if they stayed in the capital
She had only one way to survive out of this
Staying in Roseburg was the safest option
Bishop Daryl’s identity was mysterious, but Albert knew that the bishop was fa Noah
This at least told Albert that Bishop Daryl’s actual age was very old, far beyond the lifespan limit of ordinary people Moreover, he wasn’t a Transcended at all, yet he looked like a ed man” could invite the Silver Sire to come in person, yet he held a respectful attitude toward Annan
