Chapter 2805: Chapter 1200: Integration of Church and State (Happy New Year!) (Part 3)

The four powerful dukes of the Tesser Kingdom are her best targets for development.

What could be more suitable for encouraging them to tirelessly spread their faith than allowing them to gain greater strength in the process?

This is not a conspiracy, but an unequivocal open strategy.

The Gods all use this approach; the more successful a missionary priest is in preaching, the more Divine Grace they receive, thereby becoming stronger.

However, due to their divine position, a separate system must be established, often disconnecting them from secular rulers.

Unlike Noble Saiyamofu, where politics and religion are integrated.

Although the four dukes are not her best choice, those kings or queens are her natural Chosen, who can fully integrate with the national governance.

If this divine position is well managed, the future development will surely be limitless.

Strength is always the best gateway, regardless of whether these Duke’s Guard were originally believers of the God of Justice Tyr or followers of Guardian God Heim, at this moment they must pay the highest respect to Noble Saiyamofu.

They might not convert, but they will definitely adopt dual faith, unless they give up their noble status.

This is the distinctive aspect of Noble Saiyamofu’s divine position; it is a kind of compatible divine position, as many individuals in society have more than one identity, corresponding to different True Gods according to different statuses.

In terms of faith, there is only a distinction between primary and secondary faith.

Most True Gods do not demand excessively in this regard, only requiring their exclusive sacrificers and Holy Warriors be devoted solely to them.

The establishment of Faith Link and awakening speed of noble bloodlines are unimaginably fast.

Everything quickly gathered back together, as the one God and four dukes returned to the Court Council Hall.

Through such action, the relationship between both parties became exceptionally close, and their words grew very intimate. ℯ𝕝.

"Noble Saiyamofu is indeed our Guardian God, perfectly fitting with us. When I return to my domain, I will not only build a magnificent church in Myratma City for you but also gather all the nobles in the domain to learn your teachings."

"Merely one church is not enough; there should be your church or shrine in all noble domains!"

"Indeed, not only should nobles learn, but ordinary lieges should also recite the noble’s teachings, letting them know why they should embrace and obey our leadership."

"Those who ascend to power through usurpation will have their legitimacy questioned."

As they took their seats again, the four dukes lavished praise on Noble Saiyamofu and offered substantial promises.

With further interpretation of her teachings, they realized these teachings not only help consolidate their rule but also serve as a tool to contest Zalanda’s legitimacy in governance, achieving multiple objectives.

A turn of their suppressed failure under Zalanda into an upward stance.

In response to the dukes’ pledges and compliments, Noble Saiyamofu merely smiled silently, having already planted the seeds, now just awaiting the bloom and rich harvest.

After circling around, the four dukes casually steered the topic toward Prince Harried.

"The Tesser Kingdom has been fragmented for far too long, and the whole continent is unstable. As guardians of the kingdom, we have a responsibility to mend these fissures and restore unity to better fulfill our noble duties."

"Moreover, in approaching New Continent development, we suffered from the inability to unite, allowing Amm Kingdom’s cunning merchants to move ahead, leading to step-by-step setbacks and many issues being passive."

"We wanted to welcome Prince Harried back to ascend the throne and fulfill his kingly duties, but he is currently surrounded by crafty individuals undermining our plans."

"If the noble could from the perspective of kingly duty persuade Prince Harried to return, I believe he would be unable to refuse!"

The four dukes directly sought Saiyamofu’s assistance in welcoming Prince Harried back and continuing with their plan to Welcome the King.

But no True God in this world is a simple being.

Noble Saiyamofu’s gaze swept across the four dukes, slowly speaking: "I’ve met Prince Harried in Waterdeep City; he possesses pure royal blood and has the aura of a king.

If you truly wish to support him, you should show genuine intent, for he is not an unreasonable person and surely will provide satisfactory responses.

But if you neglect your sacred responsibilities for selfish desires, even I cannot offer protection!"

In her presence, the true intentions of the four dukes were laid bare, including their plans to sideline Prince Harried and seize the sovereign power of the Tesser Kingdom.

"The noble’s lesson is wise; we were too hasty and insincere in merely sending emissaries to welcome Prince Harried, which explains his unwillingness to return.

To demonstrate our sincerity, we will personally travel to Waterdeep City to see him and discuss this matter face-to-face, begging him to return to the kingdom to lead governance and rescue millions from dire straits."

"The old duke is right; this is our shortcoming, and we bear the responsibility to remedy it."

"I also agree to personally go to the City of Brilliance to welcome Prince Harried." ℯ𝕝.

"I agree."

These warlord nobles fully exhibited another side of nobility—thick-skinned and shameless.

Even after Saiyamofu saw through their real thoughts, they still ignored the weight of her words, utterly sidestepping the noble’s narrative.

Just because she is a True God doesn’t mean her words must be obeyed unconditionally, especially when it involves personal and family interests, where there won’t be easy sway.

This is not about nobility but about human nature.

If this world could function as planned by the True Gods, it would have long become a well-organized perfect world, rather than a colorful, variegated dye bath.

Even the True Gods, upon falling in, would be tainted with different colors.
