Bab 556: 554 Admonition (Part 2)_1

The words of a warning from Queen Midela made Colin shiver, and he hurriedly asked,

"Your Highness, there's something I've been wondering about."

"Speak," she said.

Colin took a few steps forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Queen Midela, and then lowered his voice to say,

"Your Highness, I understand the Church's status and reputation in the Empire of Glory, but what I don't understand is, why has the nobility been unable to do anything about it for over a thousand years, instead letting the Church constantly meddle in secular affairs and expand its power and influence?"

Colin looked around to make sure no one was near, his voice dropped lower before he continued:

"The core members of the Holy Knight families know the secret of the Lord of Glory ceasing to draw on the Power of Faith. This means the Church has lost its connection with the Supreme Lord. So, the threat of gods is not the real reason why the nobles are restrained.
