"Yes, I couldn't believe it when I first got the news.
How could a five-year-old child take on the important role of emperor?
Your Majesty the Pope is no longer the one I knew.
She must have been tempted by the devil."
He hinted to Hayden that he was dissatisfied with Keira, but Earl Harrison did not focus on Lorne's complaint.
The woman's identity was too sensitive, and there was no conclusion yet on how to characterize her.
"No, Baron, how could that child be the new emperor of the empire?
He has not received the allegiance and recognition of the nobles.
His status is illegal."
Directly denying the legitimacy of Kayla's side, Hayden continued.
"As the second son of the former emperor and the younger brother of Prince Hamster, Prince Bruce is the heir to the throne.
I have heard from the Grand Duke that His Royal Highness is currently in the Pendra family.
The first knight of the empire has pledged allegiance to the prince, and most of the lords of the empire have expressed their support for Prince Bruce.
The Grand Duke also sent an envoy, and as soon as His Highness returned to the imperial capital, he led all the lords in the north to pledge allegiance to the new emperor. " If Lorne remembered correctly, the imperial capital was in Keira's hands.
These nobles have now created a prince Bruce.
Needless to say, they know that Keira will never recognize this new prince.
Sure enough, Earl Harrison followed with a but.
"But there are always some people who ignore the future of the empire for their own interests.
The Dukes of Stuart, my God, they are still one of the many families in the empire.
But when it comes to showing honor, they have insulted the family tradition.
The Duke of Stuart actually led some nobles to refuse to recognize Prince Bruce, and they even encouraged the Pope to forcibly put a five-year-old child on the throne in the name of God.
Damn, that's a crime.
They not only trampled on the laws of the empire, but also desecrated the radiance belonging to the Mother of Light."
The Stuart family actually made it clear that they were on Keira's side.
Lorne wanted to know what method Keira used to win over the Duke of the Sea.
It's a pity that Hayden didn't come to tell him the details.
After letting Lorne know a rough idea, the Earl rushed to the topic.
"For the sake of the Empire and the Mother of Holy Light, don't you think we should do something, Baron?"
Hayden's words sounded like he was encouraging Lorne, but the real action was that they just did what they said.
The Earl also said just now that the Grand Guild represents the northern lords.
All Lorne needs to do is draw a clear line between himself and the church or Kayla.
Don't forget that when the Grand Duke of the North announces that all the lords in the North will support Prince Bruce, Lorne will pull everyone back.
It doesn’t look good in terms of face, and no one can have a good time.
Not wanting to be targeted by the Habs family so soon, Lorne immediately expressed his stance to Hayden.
"Yes, Your Excellency, we should indeed get things done."
Straightening his posture, Lorne said, "Actually, even before I heard about this matter, I was wary of whether those church knights would cause trouble.
Sure enough, a group of suspicious people came here a few days ago and wanted to incite them to destroy our unity in the north.
Fortunately, I was always on guard.
I arrested them all before they could take action, but those people were considered church members after all, so it was not easy for me to deal with them.
I would like to leave them to your lordship's disposal, if it is convenient for him. " "You did a great job Baron Lorne, where are those people now?"
"All the church knights and their attendants have been imprisoned by me.
In order to prevent them from uniting, I have imprisoned them in different places.
Please wait a moment, Your Excellency, I will arrange for someone to escort them now. come over" Hayden thought that Lorne was talking about individual opportunists, but what the Earl didn't expect was that Baron Fast actually arrested all the knights in the Northern Diocese in one fell swoop.
After hearing that more than a thousand people had been arrested, Earl Harrison immediately changed his words: "Wait a minute."
The church still has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the people of the empire, so at this stage, although there have been some bloody incidents, there has been no large-scale attack on the church's power either on Prince Bruce's side or in the north.

To arrest the entire Church Knights like Lorne in one go is to be loyal, but if the two sides compromise in the end, Baron Fast will not end well.
And even if a fight does begin, their target will only be Keira.
As long as other members of the church can distinguish their positions, they will not abuse those holy knights like Lorne.
Based on Hayden's knowledge of Lorne, he could imagine what kind of treatment the knights captured by Baron Fast would receive.
Now that he heard that this guy actually wanted to dump his mess on him, even with words and actions, Earl Harrison sternly rejected Lorne's kindness.
In the end, the earl only took a letter written by Baron Fast to Prince Bruce, confirming that Lorne would not fall to the side of the church, and Hayden did not need Lorne to take any more action.
It's just that Earl Harrison's impassioned words, such as Stuart and others who could not stop Prince Bruce's righteous forces and that the Pope would eventually wake up, turned out to be nonsense.
Because on the day of the original birthday festival, the lords gathered in a hurry by Prince Bruce were defeated by the army led by Duke Stuart.
Even an upstart like Lorne knew this news clearly.
A big battle involving more than 100,000 people cannot be hidden from anyone.
Lorne didn't even need to understand, a large amount of news about that battle flew in front of him.
But after reading those descriptions, Baron Fast discovered that it was not so much a general battle between the two sides, but a major sneak attack launched by the Stuart family while Prince Bruce and his gang had not finished gathering.
Nobles, they always like to negotiate all their interests before taking action.
Their low efficiency is naturally inferior to Keira's group who use faith and gold coins as their weapons.
The defeat of the imperial nobles did not surprise Lorne.
Without the army in the north, being defeated was a normal thing.
But what Lorne didn't expect was that Keira persuaded the Stuart family not to tell anything.
Among the countless messages, one of them caught Lorne's attention.
According to the information, the Stuart family who attacked by surprise only had about 10,000 cavalry.
On the other hand, Prince Bruce and his group have assembled an army of nearly 100,000 people.
With such a disparity in strength, even a sneak attack would not lead to the loss of the base camp.
What played a key role in the victory of the Sea Duke was actually the levies in their own army
