"..."
"Do you think our strategy might succeed?"
"It will definitely succeed."
Aister's voice was unusually firm, the magic circuits within the Mage Tower flickered, and her projection appeared before Kael: "It will definitely succeed, after all, you are Aister's master!"
"I didn't expect that now not only do you flatter people, but you also flatter yourself along with it."
Kael chuckled softly, looking into the distance: "Speaking of which, let's speed up Lily's Mage Tower as soon as possible, it still has a more important mission."
"Understood, Master."
...
"Notify the Holy Briania to have the Holy Mountain talk to me."
In the governor's hall, a command was issued by the Federation Governor, Caesar.
Soon after, in the empty hall, a suspended projection slightly lit up.
Caesar sat lazily in the governor's seat, facing the assembled Pope, eight Pontiffs, and nine Cardinals on the other side of the projection alone.
Caesar's gaze fell upon his old "friend" directly opposite him, the Pope of Holy Briania, Pope Mephiel.
The atmosphere was tense from the very beginning.
After a moment, the Pontiff of the God of Ice Church, Kerlans, spoke solemnly:
"Caesar, don't you need to explain something? Why are you still cooperating with the Abyss? Don't forget, the Abyss is our enemy."
Caesar chuckled softly and said, "Cooperating with the Abyss? Explain?
Why explain? Kerlans, as the Governor of Yibel Federation, my responsibility is only to my position, regarding other matters, there are few things I care about, whatever you wish to do to me, I don't care.
Those lunatics you nurture in the Heresy Tribunal, I don't care.
How much you revere the so-called gods, I don't care.
Whether you lose yourselves in faith or stand at the pinnacle of the world under the command of the gods, I don't care.
I am just a lonely old man, now my child has brought me back a son, it's been 99 years, I think this time I can finally be a good father, so I advise you not to challenge the resolve of a bereaved father."
Caesar slowly stood up, even though he wasn't sitting in the governor's seat, as he approached the projection screen, the people opposite still felt a heavy pressure.
"The Federation of Yibel does not refer to divide and rule, but to a united will that can pierce through stubborn rocks.
If anything about the Federation choosing me to pave the way will cause you fear, I apologize, and an apology is all you'll get."
Caesar's eyes were like a cold knife, he twisted his neck, resulting in the sound of cracking bones, then a warm smile appeared on his face:
"Therefore, I told you not to touch him, this is not a request, it is a command, because to me, all of you except Mephiel are nothing more than ants that can be crushed at will.
Understand your position, this is a war between me and the Master of the Holy Hall."
After Caesar's words, the crowd on the other side of the projection fell silent, though they too were the top powerhouses of the Holy Hall.
The strong divine power granted them glory and extended their lives, but upon hearing Caesar's voice, it was as if they heard the footsteps of the Death God.
Never before did they feel such an illusion of releasing a deadly beast by their own hand.
Many of them instinctively avoided Caesar's gaze, but there were some who quietly met Caesar's eyes.
Soon, the once tumultuous scene settled into a temporary calm.
All matters concerning Kael need to be delayed for fear of provoking that lunatic from the Federation.
Even at the most malice toward the Federation, the Church thought of dull slicing the Yibel Federation rather than directly facing the Federation Governor.
Their eyes involuntarily fell upon Pope Mephiel, who maintained a gentle smile on his face.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
In a vague sense, the balance in their hearts seemed to tilt slightly again towards Mephiel.
...
[Time: The next day]
[Location: Royal Capital, Duchy of Inglans, Yibel Federation]
Neigh~
Accompanied by the whinnying of a horse, a carriage stopped in front of a standalone teacher's apartment.
The carriage door opened, and Kael helplessly said:
"Elanna, you could have taken more time to rest…"
Kael spoke softly, supporting the pale Elanna, heading towards Olivia's teacher's apartment at the Royal Knight Academy.
Before arriving, the principal of the Knight Academy had already handed over the related keys to Olivia's room to Kael.
This was allowed by the governor's side, to let Kael help clean up Olivia's room, and after handling some matters later, Caesar would come directly.
After just recovering from a fever, upon hearing all this from Kael, Elanna held Kael and silently wept, perhaps because her body hadn't fully recovered, after crying for a while, she fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up from sleep again, although her face still carried sadness, she no longer shed a tear.
"Kael, you said you are going to the teacher's apartment tomorrow?"
