Chapter 858: Chapter 855 Queen’s Reform

Yadian Kingdom, inside the royal palace of the Yaluo Royal Capital. Queen Timothy sat in the council chamber, resting her forehead on her hand with her eyes slightly closed. The aura exuding from her was awe-inspiring.

This was a young woman who looked to be only in her twenties, wearing a crown on her head and holding a scepter in her other hand.

Below her sat three people: two elders and a young man, all nobles who supported Timothy in suppressing the Luminous Creed.

The gray-bearded elder was a minister who supported the Queen’s reforms, the other elder was Duke Weile, and the young man was Count Terence, whose father was a Grand Knight.

The Grand Knight of the Yadian Kingdom belonged to the neutral faction. He neither favored the Luminous Creed nor submitted to the Queen. However, his son Terence had been won over by Timothy, who promised him a Marquis title in the future.

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity. Taking advantage of the two bishops’ absence, the chances of success will be much higher," The minister persuaded, his words carrying a hint of inducement. "Your Majesty, if you miss this opportunity, it won’t be so easy to suppress the people of the Luminous Creed next time."

"Bishop Parkin and Bishop Kailu are both absent. This is an opportunity, but I’m afraid it’s a trap," Weile said in a deep voice.

Weile’s family had exclusively submitted to the monarch for generations. Regardless of who sat on the throne, all he had to do was fully support them, even if the one currently on the throne was a Queen.

"Trap? What trap could there be? I only know that right now there are only two bishops presiding in the Yaluo Royal Capital. Mobilizing knights to take them down wouldn’t be difficult," The minister retorted, glaring. It was obvious he didn’t get along well with the Duke.

"Hmph, don’t underestimate the fact that there are only two bishops. Don’t forget there is still Archbishop Yade. His influence is the greatest; his words represent the Divine Lord," Weile said.

"The Divine Lord is nothing but an existence meant to fool people," The minister replied. The minister was one of the few in the royal palace who did not believe in the Luminous Creed, supporting the Queen in weakening its influence over the populace and political affairs.

"You and I both know the Divine Lord doesn’t exist at all, but those believers are already deeply trapped in it," Weile said with a dark expression.

"Do you know what Bishop Parkin and Bishop Kailu went to do?" Queen Timothy, sitting in the highest seat, spoke up.

Although she had once been the Holy Maiden of the Luminous Creed... she didn’t want to suppress them at first, but later she found out about their influence on the populace and their manipulation of the palace’s political affairs, which sent chills down her spine. Now she was like a puppet, unable to intervene in many matters, with everything controlled single-handedly by Archbishop Yade. Realizing these problems, Timothy began trying every possible way to reduce the Luminous Creed’s power and influence, but the results had not been obvious.

"We’ve gathered a bit of information. We learned from one of Bishop Kailu’s maids that it seems to be related to a place called Sedona City," Terence said.

"Sedona City?" Timothy opened her eyes, pondering in her mind. It seemed there was no place called Sedona City within the borders of the Yadian Kingdom.

"Yes, there is no more information than that," Terence nodded, looking a bit regretful.

"A place that would make two bishops head there... this Sedona City must not be simple." Weile also pondered what was so extraordinary about Sedona City.

"Send someone to investigate where Sedona City is and what is extraordinary about it," Timothy said coldly.

"Yes," A female knight standing behind Timothy said calmly, turning and leaving the council chamber.

"Everyone, if you want to take action against the Luminous Creed, what are your plans?" Timothy swept her gaze over the three below and said calmly.

"I suggest we directly mobilize the knights for a strong assault, take down the Divine Lord’s Cathedral, and secretly imprison Archbishop Yade and the other two bishops," Terence said in a deep voice, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Reckless. Not to mention how huge the Luminous Creed’s influence over the populace is, just the knights within the royal palace alone—how many can you mobilize? Can you persuade your father to mobilize the knights?" Weile couldn’t hold back and directly retorted.

"..." Terence’s face alternated between red and white. He knew Weile was right; he really had no way to get his father to mobilize the knights to cooperate. The vast majority of the knights were controlled by Terence’s father. Just the guard knights within the royal palace were not a match for the Luminous Creed.

"Sigh, without a proper reason to act, there’s no telling what those fanatical believers might do," The minister sighed.

"This is a difficult problem," Weile sighed as well, lacking any good solutions.

"As long as we can persuade my father, taking down the Luminous Creed won’t be a problem regarding manpower," Terence said bitterly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes as he looked at the Queen.

"Noel, is it? I will go talk to him," Timothy said calmly.

The three of them froze for a moment at the same time, opening their mouths but saying nothing. Whether it would succeed or not depended on the abilities of this new Queen.

"Then how do we solve the problem with the populace? Even if we take down the Luminous Creed, if the populace is not convinced..." The minister said worriedly. He didn’t need to finish; the others knew what he meant.

"First, hire people to pretend to be believers and smear the Luminous Creed. Over time, it will naturally cause some of the populace to have suspicions about the Luminous Creed. Of course, for those who are heavily brainwashed, there might be nothing we can do," Weile glanced at Queen, then lowered his head slightly and said.

This could be said to be a scheme, a rather dishonorable scheme.

"Acceptable. Go do it." Timothy didn’t feel there was anything wrong with this method. As long as it could drag down the status of the Luminous Creed, it was a good scheme.

"Your Majesty, I suggest we take out some more wheat and distribute it to the commoners to win their hearts, letting them remember Your Majesty’s goodness," The minister suggested.

This scheme was very good. It somewhat borrowed the Luminous Creed’s method of drawing in believers, but it was very effective.

"Acceptable, we will distribute it after the disturbance is over," Timothy agreed without hesitation.

"You should all know what to do," Timothy waved her hand. There was a look of firm resolve in her eyes; she had to succeed in suppressing the Luminous Creed.
