LINCHPIN (2)

With all his clear-sightedness, it seems he has a flaw as Arial hardly understand how differently things looked in the Vanguan eyes. 

Some indeed, especially churchmen, especially foreign churchmen, now began to doubt whether to fight against Arial is not to fight against God, and to be damned into Seven Hells. 

But to the nation at large, Arial is simply just another Alexander Montblanc the First, in past times. 

Vanguan had before now been conquered, but never in a single fight. 

Past Kings had fought battle after battle with the Caelum Emperors, and men had no mind to submit to the Arrandians just because Arial once victorious. 

But the past Kings, great and valiant king of the past that protected the Anglais Raxons community in Vangua against the tyranny of Alexander the Divider, in alternate defeat and victory, lived to fight again; their people had not to choose a new king; the King had merely to gather a new army.
