Today is nominally a celebration banquet held by the Apokalis family for the Destiny, but in fact most of the guests invited are nobles, and only a few civilian Valkyries are invited. Moreover, most of these Valkyries are in the outer hall, and the real big shots are all there.
A dance party was held in the inner hall. To be more precise, it should be a meeting.
Discuss how to deal with Kallen Kaslana.
Different from the bustle outside, the atmosphere inside is a bit gloomy. The sound insulation effect is relatively good, so the noise from outside is not transmitted to the room inside. The big shots are preparing themselves mentally and physically in an orderly manner.
Tonight is not only about whether Kallen Kaslana can survive, but also about who has the upper hand between the Church of Destiny and the Nine Nobles.
"Everyone, thank you for coming to my humble home." Bishop Tianming changed out of the robe that only bishops can wear and put on a smart suit, making him look much younger.
"Hmph." A countess held a goblet in her hand. The glass was filled with bright red wine, like some dark blood. The countess picked up the wine glass and took a sip, making her already red.
The lips are more charming.
He lifted his shirt and his proud career line trembled, causing some of the female nobles to secretly curse at him as a vixen.
The Countess said to Bishop Tianming.
"Bishop Apokalis, may I ask how you plan to deal with Karen Kaslana, the S-class Valkyrie."
"You know, I watched little Karen grow up. When she was little, she was so close to me when she was called sister. Now she is being dealt with by you, the bishop. It makes me very sad to see her."
"I feel that little Karen is still young and may not be very sensible in some aspects. I feel that as the destined bishop, Mr. Apokalis, you should be able to forgive this poor child magnanimously." The countess looked heartbroken.
It looked like she had a very good relationship with Karen Kaslana.
Due to her various behaviors, Bishop Tianming secretly scolded her ten thousand times as a "female cousin".
You have watched Kallen Kaslana grow up, how many countries away are you? Did you use an astronomical telescope to see Kallen Kaslana?
However, these vulgar words are not suitable for his identity as the Bishop of Destiny. He can only curse in his heart, even though on the surface he has to cooperate with their performance, with a thoughtful look on his face, mixed with some entanglements. This is a kind of
Acting is something that ordinary actors can't do, but as a politician and Bishop of Destiny, it's as if he was born with it.
This is how the upper class society is. Even if they hate that person to the core of their being and wish that "I will crush you to ashes within three days", they still have to keep smiling on the outside. It's not like ordinary people at all, when they meet someone they don't like.
People, it's good if you don't say a few words. If you still want to smile, I will laugh at you.
"Miss Mina, I know that you have a very good relationship with the Valkyrie Kallen, and the relationship between Quanzi and Kallen is also very good. I don't want to see her die on the guillotine." Bishop Tianming said with a smile.
"In this case, Your Majesty Bishop, are you ready to let little Kallen go?" Mina said even if she was pushing the envelope.
"It's just that she did steal the secrets of the Destiny Church. It's really..." Bishop Destiny looked embarrassed. He knew that it was impossible to punish Kallen Kaslana. He could only find a way to get rid of these nobles.
We take out a little something and at least stop the loss.
Killing Kallen Kaslana would be of no benefit to both parties, and would also cause the Church of Destiny to be at odds with the aristocratic forces, which would outweigh the gains and losses.
"Hmph!" Mina snorted coldly. Seeing Bishop Tianming's appearance, he probably wanted to eat something they pulled out of their fingers to stop the loss. Thinking of this, Mina's face became a little unhappy.
She put the wine glass in her hand back on the table, hugged her proud career line with her hands, and looked at Bishop Tianming coldly. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room cooled down.
Although these nobles stand on the same level as a piece of iron in the general direction, it does not mean that they are willing to give up their treasures in order to give other families children.
After all, they are just here to get benefits, so why should they lose money first if they don’t get the benefits? In addition to taking advantage of the benefits, they are taking advantage of the outbreak of this incident to gather together to intimidate the Church of Destiny. Everyone feels that
, this Destiny Church has been making a lot of moves recently, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger.
If left unchecked, it is likely to affect their aristocratic rule.
The latter is the main purpose. Kallen Kaslana is just a trigger. Of course, she also wants to make the Kaslana family owe her a favor.
You know, the Kaslana family is the descendant of the strongest god Kevin Kaslana, and even after thousands of years, the Kaslana family is still the strongest family. Even if the emperor comes, they will face
Everyone must bow to the head of the Kaslana family.
Facing the menacing forces of the old aristocracy, the Church of Destiny seemed a little weak. In the past, the Kaslana family would support Destiny, but this time Destiny wanted to deal with the strongest Valkyrie of the Kaslana family.
Do you still want the Kaslana family to help you? Just take it for granted.
The atmosphere was a bit solemn. Bishop Tianming clenched his fists on the ground, suppressing the anger in his body. These nobles were really proud of themselves. He had promised to forgive Kallen Kaslana, as long as he paid reasonable compensation.
Even so, these greedy nobles are unwilling.
He actually wants to let him go unconditionally! Is the Church of Destiny easy to bully?
Faced with the menacing aristocratic forces, Bishop Tianming was still a little sluggish. After all, they dared to come so openly and openly to force the palace, which showed that they were ready for a war. You must know that most of the elites of the Church of Tianming were on the battlefield in Siberia.
If a war breaks out, the Church of Destiny will definitely suffer, and may be defeated by these nobles.
So now Bishop Tianming doesn’t have anyone on hand, and he doesn’t have enough confidence to speak.
Just when everyone was silent and competing for endurance, a voice came from one side of the round table.
"I have a compromise."
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Kallen Kaslana's father who was speaking.
"It's better to replace my daughter before the guillotine. In other words, it's still my daughter on the way to the guillotine, but when she goes to the guillotine and is wrapped in a black bag, it's a different person."
"In this way, we can not only preserve the face of the Destiny Church, but also protect my daughter's life."
"Of course, our Kaslana family is also prepared for the loss of the Destiny Church. As long as Kallen Kaslana returns to the Kaslana family, we will give the [Key to God. Judas' Oath] as a New Year's gift.
Give it to destiny."
"Master Bishop, do you think this is okay?" Kallen's father looked at Bishop Tianming.
Bishop Tianming nodded, this was a good idea.
Therefore, under the request of all the nobles, or in other words, under pressure, the Church of Destiny finally gave in, stopped its external expansion, let Kallen Kaslana leave, and relaxed its authority over the noble force Valkyrie.
The nobles are responsible for 50% of the annual financial expenditure of the Mandate of Heaven.
In tonight's transaction, the aristocratic power can be said to have made a huge profit, while Tianming can only be said to have stopped the loss in front of it.
