541 - - Art. 541. Vieille, I Am I'M In A Hurry
"Cyrus?"
I couldn't help but raise my voice in an abrupt and indignant manner. Vieille gave a small cough to calm himself and looked again at the report in his hand.
About a month ago, Rucker had welcomed Siljus into his home. Since then, he has been caressing him day and night.
"What a ......"
Vieille involuntarily looked up to the heavens. The Silurians are a race that Agartha protects very well. In fact, the daughter of the chief of the Silures is married to the king of Agartha. Moreover, it is said that this race has mastered the art of seducing men. And now Rucker has been seduced by the Siljus. For Vieille, it was as if he had lost his position.
"One Month ......"
Vieille mutters to no one with her eyes closed. Several cardinals are watching her with anxious expressions on their faces.
Vieille herself had never ...... expected such a woman.
He had known for quite some time that Rucker had been shunned by the Empress and other ladies-in-waiting. The Sublunar clerics had penetrated deep into the king's castle, and Rucker's every move was reported to them. Of course, this was not limited to the kingdom of Subclina, but the followers of the Krimyana religion were also close to the king and gathering information in other countries as well.
The women surrounding him took great pains to avoid as much contact with him as possible. Even if they were summoned by him, they hoped that the time would end as soon as possible. Therefore, Rucker always had a touch of loneliness in his heart.
He could free women's bodies with his power, but he could not free their hearts as well. This is where Rucker could take advantage of him, and Vieille had taken advantage of this to win his heart.
However, Siljus continues to accept him. He fills the gap in Rucker's heart. Moreover, the woman looks very much like Vieille herself. A woman who looks like him, who willingly follows Rucker: ....... It was clear from the look of the fire that Rucker's heart would not return to us.
In this subcliner kingdom, the woman who was in charge of everything in the inner palace was a devout Muslim, and she had reported to me the details of Rucker's life in his bedchamber, which had changed drastically.
She described his beastly appearance. As if he had been unstrapped, Rucker caressed Siljus' body for hours on end. In particular, his obsession with her ass was out of the ordinary. The obsession was so intense that Vieille had to look away from the report several times because he could not read it all at once. Rucker has not only his abnormality, but also his body odor and heavy sweating emitted from his huge body. Being covered in them for hours was a hair-raising experience for Vieille, but Siljus, who works for him, has been enduring the situation for a month. This was enough to make us think that Rucker's constitution and body odor were not a problem.
Rucker's subcliner kingdom is located to the west of Aphrodite, the capital of the Church, and is the keystone of the Church. If Rucker's kingdom was dominated by Agartha, it would be as if Vieille had a blade to the throat.
What is the current situation in the Kingdom of Subclina?
"Ha. The Prime Minister, Mr. Empath, is proceeding without delay.
"Mr. Empath, all that remains is ...... to issue a Papal Letter of Intent to the Chief of Staff of the Royal Army of Subkriner, Mr. Lionette, Superintendent of Education of Prabom. Please deliver it as soon as possible."
You are issuing a papal letter to your own subjects?
Is there a problem?
"With all due respect, ...... letters of the Pope have been issued to the representatives of the state, i.e., kings and emperors. There is no precedent for it to be issued to a vassal. ......"
"If we stick to precedent, we won't be able to do anything."
"Yes, sir."
Vieille took one look at the Cardinal, who bowed his head in agitation, and immediately took out a piece of paper and a pen and began to write something down. Then he took out a very large gold seal and stamped it slowly. The following words were written there.
......I don't know how effective this letter will be, but at least we will be able to drive a wedge into that country now that we have the high political and military officials under control.
After sending the cardinals back, Vieille sat alone in his office with his eyes closed, looking up at the heavens.
Things haven't been going the way I want them to lately. ....... Meilius's embrace, Shin's falling out of love, and Rucker's change of heart....... It's okay if things aren't going the way you want them to. However, the situation is going against Vieille more and more.
It's like being strangled by a cotton ball. ....... I have no idea what Agartha will do next. After all, the king has no ambition at all. That's what makes Vieille so difficult to deal with. She has expanded her position and power by taking advantage of people's greed and openings.
Domain,money,women....... The desires of the kings of the world can be roughly classified into these three categories. King Agartha, however, has no interest in any of them. Needless to say, he is satisfied with all of them. He inherited the vast territory of the former kingdom of Juka and is further developing it. Moreover, it has strong alliances with neighboring countries, so there is little danger of direct invasion. Furthermore, with five beautiful women by their side, their s*xual desires seem to be well satisfied.
If Agartha can be brought under their control, it would be as if they had conquered this world. If I can win the heart of the king of Agartha, it will not be a problem for me to give up my body. ....... We have been repeating this over and over again, with not even a hint of success.
To be honest, it was a big miscalculation that Rucker was entrapped. If he continues to distance himself from the Church of Klimiana, or worse, betrays Klimiana, it will be a great threat.
Should I have kept ...... Rucker close by? Vieille thinks about this for a moment. He thinks that if he had whispered sweet nothings to her while holding her hand, the situation would not have come to this, but he could imagine, without even looking at the report, that he was putting himself in danger by doing so.
...... must not stop. If you stop, the situation will never get better. If you are in an unfavorable situation, just move. If you move, you will find a way out.
These words suddenly came to Vieille's mind. These were the words that his grandfather, Juvencel Sein, had said to him one day.
......I never thought I would remember my grandfather's words at a time like this.
Vieille is alone with a wry smile on her face. I never thought that my grandfather, whom I hated so much, would come here to lend me his wisdom. ....... Thinking how ironic it is, she slowly opens her eyes. She sees a huge map of the world hanging on the wall.
......In the meantime, which country, if any, should she move to?
Vieille's brilliant mind slowly began to search for her next object. .......
