-191- Invitation from the Grand Duchy of the North(2/2)
"Oh? What's the condition?"
The northern envoy took a deep breath, and then bowed respectfully to Charlotte again.
Under Charlotte's slightly surprised gaze, he stretched out his right hand and drew a cross symbol on his chest crookedly, with a pious expression that was quite exaggerated:
"Praise the Holy One, Your Excellency the Earl, as you can see, I am actually a devout Holy believer, not only me, but also the current Grand Duke of our Northern Grand Duchy, His Majesty Stefan Sobieski."
"Your Majesty admires the teachings of the Holy Court very much, and has always wanted to accept the faith of the Holy Court as the official faith of the Grand Duchy. But you also know that our faith in the north has always been chaotic, and the faith of the old gods is difficult to cut off..."
"His Majesty the Grand Duke admires and admires you very much, especially your devout faith in the royal court and your status as a saint on earth, which has long been famous in the north."
"His Majesty the Grand Duke wants to seek help from you and invites you and the priests from your territory to visit the Grand Duchy and send experienced priests to assist our holy believers in the north to spread the faith of the Holy Royal Court..."
After hearing what the messenger said, Charlotte was even more surprised.
She had many guesses about the conditions of the Northern Grand Duchy, but she never expected that she would be invited to be a guest and spread the faith of the Holy Royal Court!
"Thank you for the invitation from His Majesty the Grand Duke, but... I am just a small earl, and the church branch in my Castel territory only has one first-class priest. Why doesn't His Majesty the Grand Duke request the Theocratic State to send a priest?
Are you asking to come to us?"
"As far as I know, there are many priests and even chief priests in the church who are very interested in spreading faith in the north."
Charlotte asked calmly.
The envoy from the north bowed respectfully and said:
"My Lord Earl, you are joking. Your Majesty is asking for the faith of the Holy Royal Court. Among the priests and officiants of the Theocratic State, there is no such thing as you, the holy saint walking on the earth, who can better represent the teachings of the Royal Court, and also
How can it be more accepted by believers and the public?"
After hearing his words, Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly, thoughtfully.
She understood the deeper meaning of the messenger.
Although the Grand Duchy of the North hopes to adopt the Holy Royal Court as its official religion, it probably does not want to be strictly controlled by the church like the Yunet countries.
The religious beliefs in the north are chaotic, which is not conducive to governance. In the past, it was just a tribal alliance, but now after feudalization, religious conflicts have become more serious. The old god beliefs with various doctrines that are relatively bloody and cruel are no longer suitable for the requirements of the new era.
At this time, it is only natural to choose the "True God Church" with benevolent teachings like the Holy Royal Court as the official faith to stabilize its rule.
However, although religion can stabilize its rule, it will also compete with the ruling class for power, and the senior officials of the Northern Grand Duchy do not want to see such a scene.
Therefore, they did not seek help from the Theocracy, but found Charlotte.
After thinking about it, Charlotte smiled and said:
"I understand what His Majesty the Grand Duke means. It is not difficult to send priests to assist in preaching. I will also consider the invitation, but I am afraid that it is not now. At least within half a year, I will not have time to leave the Crescent Kingdom."
"Of course, Lord Earl, it would be best to invite you as a saint. Even if it is inconvenient for you, if you can send some northern priests that you recognize, it will be the same."
The messenger said respectfully.
The negotiations with the Northern Envoy went much smoother than Charlotte imagined.
After clarifying the main content of the ransom and compensation, Charlotte ended the meeting, and the subsequent details were left to the cabinet of the Earl's Palace to argue with the envoys from the north.
The envoy from the north resigned, and only Charlotte and Sebastian, who had resumed his duties as butler, were left in the meeting hall.
Looking at Charlotte who was deep in thought, Sebastian couldn't help but said:
"Master, do you... really want to agree to the Grand Duchy of the North, accept their invitation, and help them spread the teachings of the Holy Royal Court?"
"Why not? We just send some priests to preach. It just so happens that we can also get rid of those church priests in the territory who are full of energy and have nowhere to vent."
Charlotte smiled.
After saying that, she smiled and said:
"Besides...don't you think this is also an opportunity? The faith in the north is already chaotic. Even if we add some private goods among the priests we send, it should be okay."
Sebastian's eyelids twitched:
"You...you mean, are you also planning to take this opportunity to spread your faith in the North?!"
Charlotte smiled:
"If you can, why not?"
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian's eyes moved slightly, thoughtfully.
After Charlotte finished speaking, she glanced around again and asked:
"Speaking of which...where's Nice? I didn't seem to see much of him after I came back this time?"
Sebastian's expression suddenly became strange:
"Nice...if my guess is correct, he should be playing hide-and-seek with Mr. Yurst right now..."
