Chapter 669: Struggle
In the Hall of Glory in the Palace of Beauty under the setting sun, Farajo's Governor Samson was talking to Adele with a nonchalant look on his face. Listening to the various secrets of Farajo revealed by him, the expression on Adele's face became more and more solemn.
"According to what you said, Charles may have died from the assassination of the church, and Robert's tyranny also stems from his own nature, not a frame-up by the church?" Adele said to Samson seriously, and Samson, who had finished smoking a cigar, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and continued to speak.
"I'm not saying that Charles' death was caused by the church, but I think it's closely related to the church. As for the Greedy King... According to the information I have, he was indeed very greedy and tyrannical during his reign. His personality was as flamboyant and eccentric as Charles', but he didn't have the ability of Charles. Such a radical personality, if not accompanied by excellent ability and talent, will only breed a tyrant. Robert is a typical tyrant.
"Farajo was indeed in chaos under Robert's rule. The church didn't seem to have spent much effort to instigate the forces against Robert before he fell. The outbreak of the Frost Moon Revolution was more of a connivance of the church. The main cause of the revolution was Robert himself. Most of what he did during his reign was true. The church and the current Farajo government did deliberately vilify Robert in propaganda, but not much.
"Robert's fate was his own fault. It's a pity that he ruined Farajo's future. His father Charles was much stronger than him, but it's a pity that he didn't know how to be patient and ruined a good situation..."
Samson looked around the Hall of Glory at the various trophies of glory belonging to the King of Costumes, and continued to respond slowly, with a hint of sigh in his tone. After hearing his words, Adele narrowed her eyes slightly, and then asked Samson again.
"You just said that the one who wanted to harm you was your political enemy in Farajo, another consul. The mutual impeachment between you consuls can offset the abilities of both parties, but it must be carried out in a formal setting, unless you get the permission of Archbishop Farajo...
"And today you were impeached under such circumstances. Does it mean that your political enemy has won the support of Archbishop Farajo? Aren't you usually against the Bourbon? You are against the Bourbon Church and the Bourbon. Aren't your positions the same?"
Adele asked Samson in a very serious manner, while the other party just smiled softly.
“Oh, you may have made a mistake, Miss Adele. I am against Bourbon not to express my position in front of the church, but the remnants of Bourbon are really harmful to this country. They have attracted a lot of cult activities for Farajo and created countless vicious and extraordinary events.
"Bourbon relics and remains are usually coveted by the evil cult headed by Afterbirth. They are active throughout Faraday, using various means to seize Bourbon relics. In recent times, among the vicious and extraordinary incidents caused by various factors throughout the year in Faraday, nearly one-third are caused by Bourbon relics, and in the past one or two years, this number has skyrocketed to three or four times.
"I don't know what factors have influenced them, but recently the three afterbirth religions have been active in Farajo, causing a large number of vicious and extraordinary events, which have had a very bad impact. Their main purpose is to obtain the remains of Bourbon, so I have begun to ban and confiscate a series of Bourbon-related antiquities across the country, and arrest those royalists who are closely connected with secret societies. These people who think about reviving the royal power every day are the most likely to be exploited by the cult. In many domestic incidents, they have been deceived by the cult and used as pawns, causing serious harm."
Samson spoke to Adele in a leisurely manner. After listening to his words, Adele nodded thoughtfully, and then asked again.
"So, your actions against Bourbon are essentially to suppress the vicious and extraordinary events in the country... But why did such actions cause dissatisfaction from the church? Have you done anything else to provoke the church? How could the church allow your camp to cooperate with the afterbirth and plan an assassination against you?"
Hearing Adele's words, Samson couldn't help but pause slightly. Then he looked at Adele in silence for a while before speaking again.
"This is related to some deeper internal problems within Farajo, so I'm sorry I can't explain it to you too clearly. But I want to mention that I have caused the church's dissatisfaction for some reason, but the factors that led to the assassination today may not only be me. Miss Adele, maybe you can look for some reasons in yourself?"
Samson pointed his finger at Adele in front of him and spoke calmly. Adele couldn't help feeling surprised when she heard Samson's words.
"I?"
"Yes... You helped me review the assassination plan that just happened. The reason you and many Bourbon descendants were placed in the Palace of Beauty was to facilitate framing. But have you ever thought that if the purpose was simply to frame the Bourbon royalist party, which had long been out of power, then the other Bourbon descendants would be enough. Why would they have to invite you across the border? Afterbirth knows that your ability is not easy to deal with, so why did they have to add you, an unstable factor, into the plan?"
Samson asked Adele in silence. His words made Adele slightly stunned. It took a long time before she continued to answer.
"The reason why those guys in Afterbirth are looking for Bourbon's relics is to find materials that can be used to study the path of lust, and I am a living material of Cretaceous Lust. I am very precious to them. They tricked me into this trap in order to capture me in the end..."
Adele answered seriously. After hearing this reply, Samson shook his head slightly and then continued speaking.
"Based on the current situation, Afterbirth has already mastered a considerable part of the technology of the Devil's Way, and even the creation of chalk is not a problem. You can be useful to them, but it may not be a big one. I don't think you are so important to them that they would risk forcing you into this movement."
"Then is there any other reason?" Adele frowned and spoke after listening to Samson's words, and Samson continued to speak as if giving a hint.
"I saw in your profile that... you asked for asylum from the church in Pritt?"
Listening to Samson's words, Adele paused, and then suddenly spoke as if she remembered something.
"The church... yes... the church... does this have anything to do with the church? Could it be... that there are political problems within the church?"
Adele said in a daze, and after listening to her words, Samson nodded and spoke.
"I can tell you seriously that most of this is caused by the increasingly intense political struggle within the church. Think about it, what kind of people were the church members who provided you with protection in the first place?"
