The next day, at 8 o'clock in the morning, while eating breakfast, Ma Wei picked up the newspaper ironed by Mrs. Cecil.
This is yesterday's Evening Times. The royal capital on the East Island is far away from New Ross City on the West Island. It takes at least one night for newspapers there to reach New Ross City from printing to transportation. This is already the fastest speed. , so Ma Wei could only see yesterday’s Evening Times.
He picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth, stared at the front page of the newspaper, and read:
"Pope Paul III died after several days of rescue operations. The murderer has been arrested. After interrogation, he was a spy from the Romanov Kingdom. The purpose of his assassination was to implement the religious purge plan of Romanov King Paul I..."
Although everyone is called Paul, the pope of the Church of the Three Destinies has no relationship with the king of the Romanov Kingdom. They just happen to have the same name. This kind of thing is very common, so they have to use their surname, middle name or patronymic to distinguish them.
The news of the Pope's death was not surprising to everyone. Rather, it was a foreseeable 'future'.
Bishop Fowler, who can activate the realm of immortality, can protect thousands of people from death, let alone a pope?
As long as the Church of the Three Destinies is willing, Pope Paul III can definitely save his life, but he still died. No one except the people involved in the royal capital knows how many power, political and interest factors were involved behind it.
Some people wanted him to die, a group of people wanted him to die, everyone wanted him to die, so he died.
Just like Caesar who was assassinated by the Senate.
This is not a kind of sadness.
The next piece of news is still important. The simple title is full of murderous intent.
[The Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny launches a holy war, targeting the Romanov Kingdom]
Everything seems to make sense...
Pope Paul III was assassinated. Such arrogant behavior cannot be tolerated. The identity of the murderer is no longer important. The anger of believers needs to be vented, the dignity of the kingdom needs to be defended, and war is inevitable.
A huge machine was launched. They were equipped with the most advanced weapons and launched a mighty attack from four directions.
Ma Wei and others who were far away in the West Island did not feel the smoke of war at all. The city of New Ross was still calm, but on a piece of land thousands of kilometers away, a national war was going on.
Today is the wedding day for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. The wedding will only start at noon, but at this moment many people have gathered near Ross Avenue.
In order to spread the news more widely, Bishop Fowler also took great pains to specifically select Saturday as the wedding day.
Yunia imitated her father, holding a piece of fried egg in one hand, and with difficulty picked up a piece of fried egg and put it in her mouth, but when she was halfway through, the egg fell off with a 'snap' and fell to the table.
The little black man squatting next to him had quick eyes and a quick mouth. He rushed up and took the egg away. After eating, he licked his lips and looked at the goddess expectantly, "Come on, come on, meow!"
Both Edward and Fat Orange went out to find something to eat. Cassim was sitting across the table. Seeing Lai Wen frowning and looking worried, he looked at the plate in front of him in a daze and couldn't help asking: "Brother Lai Wen , why don’t you have breakfast?”
"Ah..." Lai Wen glanced at him, "I was thinking, wouldn't it be bad if we disrupted His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's wedding?"
"Why is it bad?" Ma Wei asked casually.
"Boss, think about it. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's marriage to Saint Yin Fulin will dispel Bishop Fowler's doubts. Then it will be more convenient to send a message or help secretly. This will also be good for us!"
"Of course there are benefits, but you can't just look at the surface..."
Ma Wei took a sip of the black tea and began to spread salted butter on the bread. "The current Fourth Prince must not act too hastily. He must be patient. Marrying Saint Yin Fulin can certainly deepen his cooperative relationship with Bishop Fowler, but this will only It will arouse the vigilance of the king and the other three princes.”
"There are three archbishops in the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny, who support different princes respectively. The eldest prince was awarded the title of Duke of Wales and is truly the first crown prince. Standing behind him is the red archbishop Ubley who believes in the goddess of health."
"Let me ask, when the news of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's marriage to the Saint Yin Fulin reaches the royal capital, what will the First Crown Prince think? Is he happy for his fourth brother, or does he think the Fourth Prince threatens his status?"
Lai Wen opened his mouth but was speechless.
"The current power of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is not enough to compete with the First Crown Prince. His Highness the Fourth Prince agreed to the marriage out of necessity. He must agree to marry Yin Fulin. Only in this way can he gain the trust of Bishop Fowler, but he cannot actually marry Saint Daughter Yin Fulin, so someone needs to stand up against him and disrupt this wedding."
"..." The letter thought for a while and then said: "Boss, is this the result of your discussion with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"
"No, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince didn't know that someone would disrupt his wedding today."
Ma Wei said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's ambitions are too great. He has different starting points and different judgments. He believes that the situation in the royal capital is chaotic. Even if the eldest prince has doubts, he cannot treat him during the war." They pose too effective a threat. After all, they are all princes. With their status there, many strategies cannot be used."
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is right to think so. After marrying Saint Yin Fulin, he and Bishop Fowler will be completely bound together. In other words, no matter what dirty tricks the eldest prince does, Bishop Fowler will do it openly or covertly. help him."
"But I always feel that there is something wrong with Saint Yin Fulin. She does not seem to be a simple saint. Edward agrees with me on this point. If Yin Fulin has problems, the fourth prince who marries her will be in deep crisis. Then We had already left New Ross City and were unable to provide effective help. What should we do if we encounter trouble?"
"oh..."
Lai Wen nodded, somewhat understanding: "So Boss, you chose a more prudent method."
"Yes, my idea is that when we return, we can naturally put His Highness the Fourth Prince on the throne, while His Highness the Fourth Prince's idea is to fight for it on his own and use our power to ascend the throne. There is a master-slave relationship between the two. Ma Wei said with a smile: "He doesn't want to place his hopes on us. In the same way, I don't want him to fall into crisis due to some uncontrollable factors."
"Then if we disrupt the wedding, won't it disrupt His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's plan?"
"Disruption will definitely lead to disruption, but in the final analysis it is still the same old saying..."
Swallowing the bread in his mouth, Ma Wei said softly: "To gain Bishop Fowler's trust, you don't necessarily have to go through marriage. As long as His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince reacts quickly enough, this scene can continue!"
