The reasons for robbery are basically all related to the problem of food and clothing.
Therefore, the lords were very troubled by the disasters.
But within the vast kingdom, only Shulburn enjoyed a life of abundance year after year.
In a way, this does demonstrate that Earl Laureen's management was indeed very effective.
but……
Although some nobles' anger had subsided, they still stubbornly spoke to the bishop:
"But that's clearly your achievement. If it weren't for your divine power, how could Shulbong have had such bountiful harvests year after year?"
The other nobles nodded in agreement.
The Church of Abundance possesses great divine power.
Many of you here have used the wheat ears that flow from the church and are imbued with divine power.
Although its effects only last for one year, it can indeed ensure a bountiful harvest.
So the nobles continued speaking to Michaela:
"You want to support Laureen's offspring only for the sake of the church's position in the territory."
"If that's the case, why don't we just allow your church to exist? Why support a monster?"
When the nobles said these things, they would all glance at Victor in unison.
Seeing that Viktor had his eyes closed and was not reacting, they breathed a sigh of relief and gradually became bolder.
But upon hearing everyone's words, Michaela simply smiled slightly:
"Do you really think that divine blessings alone can feed everyone in Shulburn?"
A lazy person will never work hard just because of a fertile piece of land.
Those who harbor evil intentions will only ever think about stealing the fruits of others' labor and destroying their fertile soil.
However, no such person has ever appeared in Shulburn.
"It wasn't that Shulbourne made Laureen who he is today, but rather that Laureen shaped Shulbourne into who he is today."
This has absolutely nothing to do with the divine power of the goddess of abundance.
The nobles present fell into an unbreakable silence.
They had to admit that the lives of the people in Shulbourne were indeed as Michaela had described.
However, there remains a crucial issue that they cannot compromise on.
"A monster is destined to be a monster."
“Your Excellency, how can you be so sure that Priscilla won’t do the same thing?”
Priscilla is also a vampire, and in principle, she should have been deported long ago.
If it weren't for Victor, she would have left the kingdom long ago.
Michaela turned her head and looked at the nobles who had spoken.
Although their eyes were obscured by a thin veil, the nobles could still occasionally sense a genuine gaze upon them.
It was like... a mother's gaze, both stern and gentle.
This alone was enough for the nobles to know that this bishop of the Church of Abundance was no ordinary person.
Then, the bishop's gentle, soothing voice rang out again in the air:
“You are rejecting Priscilla simply because she is the daughter of Earl Laureen.”
"But Laureen is dead, and his daughter has nothing to do with Laureen anymore."
"But since you're worried, then so be it."
Michaela, as if suddenly having come up with a solution, held up her finger, her voice filled with anticipation:
“Pryss is still young, and even if she takes over the title, she may have difficulty governing the territory.”
"Then why not find someone who can act as Priscilla's guardian and also temporarily take over her lands and titles?"
The nobles present looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this suggestion.
"And this person must have enough strength to teach Priscilla."
"You must have enough prestige to convince everyone."
"A certain level of status is necessary to lead Shulbong to greater prosperity."
Michaela's suggestion made everyone think deeply.
People who meet all these criteria?
Where can I find it?
It's not like finding a needle in a haystack, but it's certainly a complete mystery.
Apart from Grand Duke Balo, is there anyone else in the entire Kingdom of Kant who can achieve all three of these things at the same time?
While the nobles were puzzled, Michaela pulled out a golden ear of wheat that flowed with divine power from her long black sleeves.
It shone brightly under the faint light.
"In that case, let God choose this person from among those present."
The nobles looked at the ear of wheat and all fell silent.
Instead, they all craned their necks, curiously looking at the ears of wheat.
The golden light above the wheat ears gradually became dazzling, and streaks of light swiftly slid across the steel wall, brushing past the bodies of the nobles present.
The golden light flowed past the group of people in lead-colored robes, gradually slowing down.
As the light was about to fade, the nobles held their breath, their hearts pounded, and they swallowed hard.
But in the end, the ethereal light gradually fell upon Viktor.
The golden light shone on Victor's trench coat, making it seem as if a stream flowed through the coat's patterns and spread across Victor's back.
The nobles present were all stunned, dumbfounded, their mouths agape and their eyes wide open like copper bells.
Feeling the intense light covering his body, Victor slowly opened his eyes.
He saw the blindfolded bishop, who still wore a smile and looked at him gently:
“Well then, Mr. Victor.”
"Would you be willing to take the place of the deceased Earl Laureen and become Priscilla's father?"
