Chapter 100 (1/2)

Beyond the dom of Helius, even further east than the Valley of Broken Armies, was a once a powerful empire that was bordered by the Crusader Gateway

During the tidoed between the Eious inquisition The Church wanted to spread its beliefs far and wide but the Empire resisted, in fear the monarchy would fall to the divine power

More than ten years ago, tension was brewing between the two nations To address the situation, the Kingdoe scale war education This was how the ”ames” came to be

Nevertheless, the confrontation did not last One night eight years ago, things took a turn for the worse when the King of the Empire suddenly died

The whole Empire fell into chaos

The King had three offspring: Wwo princes and a princess The Empire was rattled when the two princes battled out to ascend the throne In a dramatic twist, just as the two princes were occupied with their internal battle, the reticent princess arose and brought her army to claim most of the Empire’s territories in the west

The whole nation was flabbergasted by the turn of events Both princes were not willing to back down just yet and each conquered the south and north of the Empire respectively The once powerful Elory

The three nations that was once the Empire were non as Ferelden, Icor and Carretas

When Benjamin read that line of words on the envelope, he remembered the history lessons that the System made him catch up on

To His Majesty the King of Carretas

If he were to recall correctly, Carretas was in the north of the Empire where the first son had conquered and built his nation His Majesty the King of Carretas was the one who suffered the most losses from the power tussle

Although the Empire was split into three, their attitude towards the Church remained the same Even if the Church had used a softer approach to spread their religion, the three Kingdodoainst the Church The spread of religion was still progressing rather slowly

One could say that the three Kingdoms were definitely not allies

His thoughts turned to the letter he held in his hand

A priest as highly regarded by the Church had written a letter to the enemy

At that very reat conspiracy

If this were to happen to so the letter in fear that they ed into the dirt But this letter had fallen into Benjamin’s hands

He couldn’t help but get carried aith excitement

Oh, what fun! Please count him in!

And just like that, he couldn’t contain himself as he tore open the envelope

He unfolded the letter and sighed: It was a lengthily letter Well, he had to read carefully what the letter contained even if he was excited Benjamin took a deep breath and started to read line by line

It was close to sunset and the day has yet to darken He was still able to make out the content of the letter

He studied the letter completely in about ten minutes or so

He laid the letter down after he was done reading His earlier enthusiasm has dissipated

He had originally figured that the letter would be evidence that the priest was betraying the Church and that he was pledging allegiance to the enee, to gloat However, the truth was that there was indeed a pledge of allegiance — it was just that it was the other way round

Carretas was prepared to co of the Church

How could Benjamin tell?

The lettercere the King and how a King should be devoted to God The detailed accounts in the letter showed that Carretas and the Church had been secretly co for a while now

This was definitely a headliner that would shock any nation
