"the cathedral is close?" Deluc murmured after the Cathedral Knights blocks their entry

"Yes your Majesty, we apologize!" the knights answered

"What kind of disorder does the Cathedral had inside?" the Crown Prince asked to Davey as they ride back to Davey's Estate

After the blessing ceremony, the two left the Judge chamber and walk into the isle of the Hall, after observing the frames inside the hallway the two bump into Cardinal Nastra, the Cardinal was stunned and freezes in the corner as the Two prince gaze at him

"I wonder what was the Cathedral's High Cardinal's doing in the Presiding Judge Residence! I wouldn't be expecting an answer of Giving a Blessing as the Church always do Prayer for it!" Davey said in a cold approach

"What the Cathedral's intention might not be part of Princes Business" The Cardinal responded and bowed as he turn his back, he freezes for the moment

"As for the Church to cross their line as much as competing with the Authority of the Imperial family, such impudence will only brought disaster on your Party, none of this Empires subordinates can severe the Authority that bestowed upon the Imperial Family, the Cathedral is there its because the Imperial family allowed it, you must not forget that you exist to serve the Imperial Family not the other way around. So better watch every step you guys take!" Deluc stated without even looking back to the Cardinal

"Is this a threat?" the Cardinal said with some anger tone

"It's a Warning, a threat is not for us the Imperial Family to commit, our positioned is higher than everyone else not even the God of yours sits above us!, So you better find your way back, continuing this will give you a much painful lash backs" Davey added, and two Princes left unbothered

"that's not enough Nastra, even if those aren't empty words we must find a way to regain our role as the Cathedral, we wont let the Imperial family demand to us whenever they want!"

"Lord Caius! If we ever cross the line too much we might as well end up in having nothing, much worse lose the current power we had In this empire!! We must rethink of this plan now!!"

"ENOUGH NASTRA! THE CATHEDRAL WILL NEVER BACK DOWN AGAINST THE IMPERIAL, WE ARE THIS EMPIRE'S SHIELD WITHOUT US THEY'RE NOTHING!!"

"THE EMPIRE WAS BUILT THOUSAND YEARS AGO BEFORE OUR CATHEDRAL EXIST!!! YOU MUST NOT PUT YOURSELF HIGHER TO THE FIGURE WHOM WE SHOULD SERVE!!" Nastra Exclaimed

"INSOLENT FOOL, HOW DARE YOU TALK TO THE POPE THAT WAY!!"
