The old nobles glanced at Tandin.
They want the estate of Albertville because they belong to Tantin's faction.
They even bribed a regent for it.
But for someone who has nothing to do with Albertville's place...
Tandin was distraught by the look on the nobleman's face.
Because he has handed over a clear list of rewards, together with those who must give them.
But such a reward was given to a mercenary?
"My lord, what's the matter?" an impatient noble came out and asked.
He thinks Veronica III may have misread Lev's reward from another person.
"Would you mind looking at the parchment again?"
"What words? How dare you doubt the words of the Pope himself!"
Before Reina finished speaking, Grand Duke Gregory shouted.
The nobleman shaking his hands was sweating nervously and retreated.
"Ah, no, it's not like that, I didn't understand just now..."
"The reward given to the head of the Red Wolf Mercenary Group is the Pope's final decision!"
"Ah, I see!"
When the nobles and high priests saw the man retreating, they knew that 23 mercenary Lev was personally recruited by Grand Duke Gregory.
My countrymen in the same army have heard the same rumors, but they will not believe them unless they see them with their own eyes.
"He did tell us to leave him alone and let him go, so that's why!"
"Like a Viscount..."
All the misunderstandings among the nobles, everything they once believed, disappeared.
The expression on Tan Ding's face was serious.
Gregory never raised his voice in the throne room.
Is Tandin in power, has he just never been interested?
Or is it just an expression of willingness to actively intervene in the future?
"No, people can't easily change that."
Tandin said.
In fact, it was Lei Na who decided to award the title and the Albertville estate to Lin Qing.
Emperor Tandin was unaware of this, but Grand Duke Gregory, who had heard about it in advance, objected.
The thought of giving up the empire's farmland to Lin Qing, a nobleman of the Barlocke Empire.
However, Reina raised her hand, persuading and insisting that the enemy is not Lin Qing, he is an ally of the Holy Empire.
Thanks, this might be a bit of a shock to you, but things wouldn't have gotten this far without your help.
In that icy atmosphere, Lin Qing communicated with Leina.
To be honest, Lin Qing was sure that he would get nothing, but he never expected to get a manor and a title.
Because he knew that with Leina's meager power, there was very little she could do.
But in the Holy Empire, she gave him a title, a birthplace.
Maybe, she wants me to increase my strength in that manor, and I won't let her expectations go to waste.
Lin Qing opened the parchment handed to him by the servant.
It was a document stating his identity and the estate of Albertville.
At the end of the file is a map showing the estate's location.
It is close to the borders of the Bar Locke Empire.
If necessary, I can lead an army straight to the Barlocke Empire.
Lin Qing thought.
Lin Qing is very grateful to Lei Na for being considerate of him.
"The awards ceremony is over, see you at the victory celebration tonight.
Finally, Reyna left the room, leaving the nobles and high priests to mutter in protest.
Lin Qing was a little depressed because his reunion with Leina didn't last long, but it made him look forward to the dinner.
Seeing this, Archbishop Tandin and the nobles in the throne room looked at him suspiciously.
The rebellion is over, but another storm seems to be hitting them from afar.
Lin Qing spent the rest of the day at his quarters, giving his subordinates a much-needed break.
As he was relaxing, he heard a knock on the window of the room.
When he turned to see what it was, he saw a small bat flying around the window.
"Bell?"
Lin Qing never expected that Bell would come all the way to the Holy Empire, so Lin Qing opened the window with a look of surprise.
Whoosh!
Bell knelt down as soon as he entered the room, and quickly returned to human form.
"host."
"What are you doing here?" Lin Qing asked.
Facing Lin Qing's question, he went straight to the point.
"This is a big event, master! Our orc heroes who fought in the Principality of Navarra have appeared in the Barlocke Empire!"
What he said was very valuable information, but Lin Qing's face was gloomy.
...I've known for a long time. "
"Eh? You know?"
"Yeah, he showed up at Luo Manor, and then ran away."
Lin Qing told him about the knight's battle with Shakan.
That damn stupid Thievingcat! He should have told me if something like this happened!
Just when Bell was cursing the Spirit King to himself, Lin Qing drew out his sword and asked: Is the training over?"
"Ah...that...that..."
Bell stuttered, unable to answer the question.
He is very confident in the sword skills he has cultivated, but he doesn't believe that he can impress his master.
"Shouldn't we test this reunion?"
"That... we... can't do it another day?" There are many priests and high priests in this city, as well as many holy knights of the holy guard, they..."
"It's okay. If we did it here, no one would notice we were playing.
An evil smile appeared on Lin Qing's face. He rushed to Bell with his sword in hand, testing his demons.
Bell also took out his sword to defend Lin Qing, but was quickly knocked down by Lin Qing.
"Hey! Spare me!"
Hockey! Hockey! Hockey! Hockey 040!
For the next hour, there were sounds of fighting in Lin Qing's room.
In the grand banquet hall of the empire, the music is magical and subtle.
One of the most prestigious places in the Holy Empire, it has been blocked since the previous pope fell ill.
And such a place, after four years, unexpectedly held a grand banquet, attended by countless nobles.
The purpose of the banquet was to celebrate the victory, but it also gathered many nobles and priests who were not involved in the war.
Before the banquet had time to speed up the pace, the nobles who arrived early gathered together to discuss.
The elder nobles gathered together and began to drink, boasting of their deep friendship, while the priests - without wine, drank tea and talked of common interests.
"Hmm, do you know that Grand Duke Gregory has started to manage internal affairs?"
When the nobleman asked, the person next to him immediately replied.
"There have been a lot of discussions about this aspect. At the award ceremony held in the morning, Archbishop Tandin did not make a sound."
"However, even if Archbishop Tandin has always been the Pope's regent, hasn't Archduke Gregory been in the empire longer?"
"Grand Duke Gregory enjoys a lofty status among the countless paladins of the Holy Empire. He has never stayed with the Pope, has he? Until now, he knows nothing about politics, but if he decides to join, then Archbishop Tandin and Marius Pie will be pushed out."
