Charles's action shocked the Queen, Lu Yun and the others. Who could have thought that a viscount like him would actually kneel on the ground.
The queen is indeed very beautiful, but she shouldn't kneel down in front of so many people.
Zhu Lina Alliance said to Charles, "Char, you are now a duke, not a viscount. You should pay attention to your image. The gap between your status and mine is not that big."
"Duke Charles, please get up quickly. What will it look like if others see this?"
Charles also stood up quickly. He had forgotten his identity and had now completed the jump and turned directly into a duke.
In fact, he didn't understand why the Queen did this. After all, he was already a viscount with little ability, and now that he became a duke, it was even more so, as if he had no ability at all.
However, I think the reason why the queen made herself a duke was probably because she wanted to win over the two messengers of the gods.
It must be said that he is indeed very lucky.
Not only did he get to know the messenger of God, but he was also able to be used by the Queen. This was his honor. As the Viscount and Duke of the Holy Empire, he was supposed to obey the Queen and be her man.
Even if the queen kills him, she has nothing to fear and cannot go back on her word.
"My Queen!"
"I am so happy to see you, the most beautiful queen in the world, the most noble and beautiful woman in our Holy Empire."
Zhu Lina felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, but she cared a lot about what this messenger from the gods thought. In the eyes of this messenger from the gods named Lu, was she considered a beauty?
"Messenger of the Gods..."
Queen Zhulina looked at Lu Yun with a humble look, and her tone was rather aggrieved and low, mainly because she was worried about what the messenger of the gods would think of her.
"Your Majesty, becoming a prince is something I never expected. I am truly grateful to Your Majesty for giving me such an honor."
Zhu Lina nodded slightly, and then said to Lu Yun, "So, the two angels are now the Pope's people, and have they been brainwashed by the Pope?"
"Felicius is indeed a member of the Vatican and has a close connection with you, the Celestial Messengers. He is extremely narrow-minded and ambitious, and he poses a huge threat to this king."
"I believe the messenger of the gods should also be able to see that the Pope has been saying some bad things about me, the Queen, in the hall today, and I am also under his control."
Lu Yun could naturally understand what the queen wanted to say to him, and he could also understand the power struggle between the two of them.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to talk about the power struggle between you two. Anyone with common sense and intelligence can see it."
"It's simply that the Pope wants greater power, and the Queen also wants greater power. She doesn't want to be controlled by the Pope, and doesn't want to be constrained by the Pope, but..."
"To be honest, Queen, your Holy Empire has developed to this point, and the influence of the Church has spread everywhere!"
"The most important thing is that the Pope holds a very high position in the hearts of the common people. Even the nobles obey the Pope and his church."
"So the Queen might as well just go with the flow. This cannot be changed. The Pope and the Vatican are already deeply entrenched!"
"If the Pope wants full power, then you should give it to him. Queen, why don't you give him most of the power! That way you can live in peace and harmony."
"Moreover, for the Queen, if the Pope and you really develop a feud, it will be a loss for both of you. More importantly, you, the Queen, will also be affected."
"Even power will eventually be divided up by the Pope. This is totally unnecessary."
“…”
After Lu Yun said this, everyone present was stunned. They never expected that the messenger of God would say this.
Queen Juliana originally thought that since the Pope was not around, she could just go to the messenger of God and explain her intentions, and maybe the messenger would really cooperate with her.
After all, the Pope and the two messengers from the gods have only just met. Although the two messengers from the gods are from their Holy See, what if he still has a chance?
What if these two messengers from heaven have nothing to do with the Pope, or they can listen to me.
But... now these words seem to be saying that the Pope has a very good relationship with the two of them, and they will definitely support the teachings infinitely.
Charles on the side was also very surprised and looked at Lu Yun with some anger.
"Brother Lu, why do you say that? Don't you support Her Majesty the Queen? Do you really want to support the Pope? Although the Pope is indeed better to you, he is also using you."
"You know, Pope Filius is taking advantage of your status as a messenger of the gods, which is why he's so friendly to you. If it were anyone else, he would never be like this."
Lu Yun shook his head and looked helplessly. "Char, I never said I was the Pope's man, nor did I say I would support the Pope. Whether it was the Pope or Her Majesty the Queen, I was just a bystander."
"It's clear now. Both the Queen and the Pope want to use me, but I don't want to get involved in your power struggle."
"I'm just advising the Queen to think carefully about power. There's no need to hold on to it so tightly."
"Your Majesty should think carefully after you leave. With Pope Filius's current strength, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to defeat him."
Zhu Lina thought Lu Yun was truly on the Pope's side, and hadn't expected him to be a bystander. But why did he say that? Was there really no chance of a comeback?
Why should we give power to the Pope? The Pope is just a boss of the Vatican.
Although their Holy See did control the thoughts of the entire empire, for many civilians and nobles, the Holy See was their faith, and the Pope was the representative of their faith.
"Actually, I understand everything the Messenger of Heaven said. The current Pope's power is enormous, and he represents the faith of our Holy Empire."
"But I think there is still a chance for a comeback."
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. He had explained the matter so clearly. Was there still hope of a turnaround?
Something is wrong!
"Your Majesty, do you have any good ideas? If you don't mind, please tell me."
Zhu Lina thought, if you doubt someone, don't use him; if you use someone, don't doubt him. Since she wanted to use the messenger of God, she naturally had to express her true thoughts.
