Knights Castle in the capital of Karl.

This beautiful castle in the city with a silver exterior, a red flag and a torch dome is exactly where His Majesty Emperor Carl XVI handles government affairs today.

But to be more precise... it is where His Majesty the Little Emperor "watches the ministers to handle government affairs"!

In the bright snow-white hall, a red carpet lays from the palace door to the deepest part. A 20-meter long table is placed in the center of the hall. The table is facing the depths, with a gorgeous and heavy throne, a chair back made of pure gold, exquisite upholstery of red dragon skin, and a large number of shiny gems inlaid on the armrests, showing luxury.

On such a large throne, there was a little boy with a small brown curly hair with a miniature figure.

The little boy was about seven or eight years old, wearing a heavy two-color crown, and his slender neck seemed to have difficulty supporting it. His small body seemed to be stuck in a soft cushion. Even if he straightened his back hard, he couldn't see the table. He seemed to know this very well, so he simply leaned his head against the handrail on one side to rest, and counted the night pearls on the top of the palace boredly, feeling drowsy. On the contrary, on both sides of the long table, a group of cabinet ministers were discussing fiercely.

"If you want me to say, now is definitely the best time to regain the authority of the royal family, and you must not miss it!"

The Maritime Secretary, a man who looked in his thirties, dressed well and had a boat-shaped badge on his chest, stood excitedly.

He stood on the table and looked around everyone, and was moved by: "Everyone, it has been more than a month since the trolls have spread. The Holy See of Light has not made any moves. The public grievances have been very serious! On the contrary, the royal family opened the treasury and issued bounties, and the Kingdom Guards have also been fighting bravely with the trolls. Now we have received more support from the people!"

"And everyone heard what the Minister of Information just now... The Holy See's Court's Court, Sun and Moon, both the two major sects suffered heavy losses in a secret operation not long ago! Although our informants don't know what the secret operation was, there are definitely a hundred advanced professionals who have no news. This is equivalent to the top power of the Holy See's Court's sudden loss of half! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we can't let it go!"

"I agree on behalf of the Palace Mage Group! The Holy See is in great power, so it's time to take care of it." At this time, another white-bearded old man wearing a magic hat spoke, "Another news, the Palace Mage Group has found the new weakness of the Blazing Blood Trolls! We found that the Howling Crow can become a new troll nemesis. Audrey has led the Magic Group to capture the first batch of Howling Crows to the ruins of Sauron. Within three days, the bird eggs that were spawned can be sold to various places through the Adventurers Guild trading counter. The Troll Disaster is expected to be completely over in a few days!"

"Great!" The Maritime Minister was obviously even more excited and slapped the table repeatedly, "Everyone! If the royal magistrate group belonging to the royal family completely resolves the troll disaster, the reputation of the Carl royal family will be further improved! What reason do we have not to act? Let's express our opinion?"

There are nine people sitting on both sides of the long table!

At this moment, except for the maritime minister, the intelligence minister and the chief wizard of the palace who had already expressed their opinions, the other six people whispered and whispered.

After a moment, he raised his hands to vote, and the result was 6 votes agree, 2 votes against, and 1 abstention.

The proposal was approved!

"Your Majesty... what do you think?" The Maritime Minister quickly wrote a piece of paper at this time, and then looked at the gorgeous throne at the end of the long table.

Even if the Cabinet Parliament passed unanimously, in the end, I still have to ask His Majesty the seven-year-old Little Emperor Carl XVI.

"Ah? Oh...well, just discuss it." The little brown-haired boy seemed to be awakened from his dream. He was confused for a moment, then picked up the quill and tried to sit up straight.

——————————

His Majesty Carl XVI signed the sign, and his government orders were like thunder!

In the evening of the same day, a series of orders came from the cabinet tower of the Knights Castle and flew to the lords of major cities in the kingdom. Soon from them, they moved to every noble, knight, and guard captain... After only one night, all the villages and towns with churches took action.

The "Oxford Town" affiliated to Haiyan City is no exception.

The next morning, before Douglas finished his breakfast, the church door was almost broken!

The several consecutive waves of uninvited guests made the bishop of the town who was used to being high and aloof and confused...

The first one was the only noble in the town, Baron Demps, and the nominal town owner appointed by the royal family... His purpose was very simple - tell himself that it was time to pay taxes!

Baron Demps carried several guards with him, all of whom were 6 stars and more than 6 intermediate adventurers, no worse than Douglas. A financial officer was also accompanying him, who seriously calculated land tax, transaction tax, food tax... various taxes combined, as well as the part that the church should have paid before but was not paid... The final total debt was as high as more than 600 gold towers!

Although Baron Demps smiled, he was not polite and asked Douglas to hand over it as soon as possible within a week, otherwise he would take away the church's property in accordance with the Kingdom Law.

If the financial situation is insufficient, the land occupied by the church will be taken back!

As soon as Baron Demps left, another one came, the captain of the Kingdom Guards of Oxford Town.

The captain of the guard with silver helmets and bright armor had a stern face and a selfless face. As soon as he came, he asked the pastors of the church why they did not respond to the guard's two previous recruitments!

All towns registered in the kingdom have more than 30 guards stationed, while Oxford is a major town with a total of 50 people. According to the Kingdom Law, once more than half of the guards are injured or killed, the guard captain can temporarily recruit nearby adventurers. The recruited adventurers must wear standard armor and act as temporary Kingdom guards!

Oxford Town had twice before, and was besieged by the sea tribe and troll groups at the same time. The guards suffered more than 25 casualties at one time, and the captain of the guard also issued two temporary recruitment! However, Douglas, who had received the orders of Cardinal of Haiyan City, prevented all the priests in the church from applying.

Since there were many people in the other three branch halls of the Adventurers Guild in Oxford Town, they quickly gathered up the quota for recruitment, and the matter was fooled at that time... Unexpectedly, the Captain of the Guard came to me and mentioned the old story again?

The request of the guard captain is also very simple: either, Bishop Douglas opens the church door and lets the guard captain choose 10 conscripts to be temporary guards at will; or, the church must be responsible for the free treatment of all the injured guards in the next battle to compensate for the punishment that no one should be conscripted.

After these two left, Douglas couldn't calm down for a long time and couldn't swallow half of the breakfast.

His hands were shaking a little, and he felt a vague sense of a surging tide, which made him restless, as if the strong church above his head was shaking.

As the two pillars of the kingdom, the Holy See of Light will pay various taxes to the Carl royal family? And the recruitment of the Kingdom Guards, to put it bluntly, it is to temporarily capture the strong men when the troops are insufficient. When will the noble priests do such coolies?

In the past, Douglas never paid those messy taxes, nor had his missionaries applied for it. He has always been like this and never had any problems.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, both sides came to question the door together, how dare they treat the goddess' spokesperson like this?
