After a brief meeting with Princess Sofia, Aaron left the box and went to the ball to continue his role as a "businessman looking for a way into the upper class."
Sofia looked at Aaron's leaving back with a gloomy expression, restored the room to its original state, and walked into a private bathroom.
Not long after, 'Princess Sophia' with a pair of wings on her back also walked in, and the two quickly exchanged their clothes.
A Princess Sofia who looked exactly the same as before walked out with a smile.
As for the original actor, he became an illusory mirror image... and slowly disappeared.
As an imperial royal family, they have collected a large number of magical items, so it is not surprising at all to do such a thing.
…
After the dance.
Sophia took a royal carriage, escorted by a team of musketeers, and returned to the Mithras Palace...
After entering the palace gate, Sophia looked at the most conspicuous building in the center with a very complicated expression.
'The largest palace in the Mithraic Palace does not belong to the emperor, but to the monster... What an irony!'
With a smile on her face that made everyone feel refreshed, she walked into a side hall.
"My beloved daughter... how about the dance tonight?"
Emperor Arthur IX of the Inves Empire looked like an ordinary old man. He was talking to his secretary at this time. When he saw Sophia coming in, an expression of relief appeared on his face.
"Lord Faneuil entertained me very well, and the dance was also very interesting." Sophia lifted the hem of her skirt and performed the etiquette of a lady.
"That's good."
Arthur IX waved his hand, asked the secretary to retreat, and took Sophia to the study.
Bang!
After the door was closed, the old emperor silently recited the honorable name of 'Keeper of Secrets', and his aura returned little by little, like an aging lion: "So... what did the other party say?"
"The other party hopes that we can make the 'Son of the Dawn' sign a contract that will inevitably be violated, and then he will have a high degree of confidence in assassinating the other party..."
Sophia told the story in detail.
"Is it a contract that will inevitably be violated?" Arthur IX pondered for a moment: "The kind that must be signed? This may be a bit difficult..."
"I brought a piece of parchment. If it's a written contract, just write on it."
Sophia took out a roll of parchment, which was smooth and without any patterns or writing: "And if it is just a verbal promise, before the other party confirms it, you must recite the name of a hidden existence in your heart and pray for him to bear witness!"
"Which one exists?"
King Arthur IX showed interest.
"The spirit of falsehood wandering in the unknown..." Sophia read the name of the 'spirit of falsehood' separately.
"Well, I have heard of this honorable name. It is a secret member that existed in ancient times..." Arthur IX smiled: "As for chanting the honorable name, you will be watched and marked... I don't care anymore.
.”
After all, he has betrayed 'Breaking Dawn' and switched to 'Secret Keeper'!
"Father...what are you going to do?"
Sophia asked her doubts.
It is not an easy thing to make the 'son of the dawn' bow his head.
"Spread things out and do it!" Arthur IX waved his hand: "We have made so many small moves. Even if we have a 'keeper' to keep secrets for us, the church has not discovered nothing... Instead of hiding it, it is better to directly
To be honest, I will meet with the Pope of the Sun tomorrow and have a showdown with him... admit that I am looking for a way to restrain the 'Sons of the Dawn', which is what we have been busy with during this time."
"This should dispel the church's doubts." Princess Sophia nodded gently.
"Then, I will promise to relax the access rights of the three-level parliament and give more power to the second parliament and even the third parliament..." Arthur IX continued.
In the Second and Third Parliaments, the royal power and the divine power are currently evenly matched, but if access is relaxed, there is no doubt that the church will be able to gain more support from the citizens than the emperor!
After all, the image of the church has always been quite positive. This is not only because the church is based on a large number of people, but also because of their secret plans!
The emperor's promise is undoubtedly a huge political concession!
"If we compromise on this, the church will help us?" Princess Sofia asked.
"Of course not!" Arthur IX gave an affirmative answer: "Otherwise the ancestors would have done it long ago... For the church, the 'Son of Dawn' is the Holy Son and the agent of the true 'Dawn' will! And
The 'Sons of Dawn' have also stood on the side of the church many times! Because the church truly serves 'Dawn' wholeheartedly, and we in Sodom have some selfish motives after all!"
"But this time, the church will definitely compromise. This is because there is external pressure and another war is about to begin in the spiritual world. If 'Dawn' wins, it will gain complete victory, but if it loses, it will have nothing.
...Therefore, for the sake of 'Dawn', the Pope will advise the 'Sons of Dawn' for us and let that monster be patient for the time being!"
Arthur IX saw it clearly.
Aaron's arrival represents the beginning of a new round of war for the remaining Si Sui to challenge the authority of 'Dawn'.
At such moments, in order to protect the pillars of Dawn on earth, the wise people of the church will choose to endure temporarily.
Sofia thought about the character of the Pope and others, and couldn't help but be convinced.
Her father was able to come up with a perfect plan in such a short period of time. He was indeed a born emperor and was extremely thoughtful.
Immediately, Her Royal Highness the Princess became a little worried: "Although Mr. 'Feathered Serpent' is quite powerful and poses a threat to my life, he is still not as good as that monster... What if our plan fails?"
"Then I will 'die of illness' immediately, and the Sodom royal family will fully compromise...Although it will decline a lot, it will eventually be able to keep that crown."
Arthur IX's eyes shone with realization.
It has to be said that Aaron's conditions are not too harsh.
If the royal family were to use all their strength to cooperate with him in killing the 'Son of the Dawn', maybe Arthur IX would backhand and sell Aaron.
And now, with just a little effort, Arthur IX saw hope of killing that monster!
"Sun King Arthur spent his whole life in the military, laid the foundation of the empire, and created countless glorious victories and epic legends... But his only mistake was to let that monster be born into the world!"
"This mistake has drained Sodom of blood throughout the ages, and now it must be corrected!"
There was a hint of fear in the deepest part of Arthur IX's eyes.
Chapter completed!
