Chapter 239 The Things in One's Bones
Sodrac Palace, Queens.
Wearing a crown, with a solemn face and a small mustache, George III sat on his throne, watching the two noble representatives who followed the Earl of the Palace into the palace: Lord Agusid Negan, the representative of the Conservative Party, and Earl Hall, the representative of the New Party.
"Your Majesty."
The two noblemen bowed to George III with respect, clearly there to ask for his instructions.
Although these nobles were capable of persuading the church to cooperate on certain actions, under such public scrutiny, could the three major orthodox churches still recall the lower-ranking clergy who were emotionally influenced? What would happen to the church's glorious image? They still had some sense of shame after all.
As the nobles bowed, George III's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, but his expression quickly returned to normal, as if the previous smile had been nothing more than an illusion.
"Edessaker is indeed being a bit too flamboyant."
King George III spoke with an air of authority.
Neither Prime Minister Agushid nor Count Hall spoke.
As expected, the king immediately began to reprimand him, "He's so old, yet he's still so careless and hasty in doing things. He's almost completely disgraced the royal family."
The father scolded his son...
The two very sensible noble representatives below even offered a few words of advice to the king, praising Edsac on his behalf.
After the formalities were completed, George III coughed lightly and began to instruct the cabinet on its work.
The two noble representatives also humbly sought advice from outside the Sodrak Palace. Prince Edsak's attendants stopped the procession in a square. By this time, the procession had grown quite large, and the news had already spread. Countless Rune people had come to watch the excitement, including many members of the Tarot Society, such as Fors, who had been brought over by Shura.
And there's also a great detective mixed in with the crowd...
Klein looked at the seemingly endless crowd and his heart began to pound. An excessive gathering of people could easily lead to a riot, and if things went wrong, it could backfire and cause even greater chaos. After all, this was a world where extraordinary powers existed.
Now we can only hope that these people can remain calm and that the authorities in Rune will quickly give a response and end this sudden protest.
The sight of those fluttering clergy robes, supported by various objects and held high above their heads, made his eyelids twitch uncontrollably. As a former night watchman, he was certain that this was definitely not the church's idea.
He wasn't sure how the upper echelons of Rune would handle the matter, or how the church would view it. They were equally unwilling for these commoners to be manipulated and exploited, becoming tools for ambitious individuals to achieve their own goals and the 'price' they would have to pay.
Russell's actions have served as a cautionary tale for other royal families, and the noble classes of various countries across the North and South continents are absolutely unwilling to see commoners gather and cause trouble.
"If this Prince Edsack can truly secure better conditions for the common people of Rune, as he claims..."
It would be a good thing if the situation could be calmed down instead of escalating further; otherwise, it's these poor people at the bottom of society who will suffer.
Klein sighed slightly. His abilities were limited, and he could only observe from the sidelines while remaining vigilant for anyone in the crowd to take the opportunity to cause trouble and create greater chaos. "This Prince Edsac's intentions are certainly not so simple."
His feelings were somewhat complicated. On the one hand, he was not happy to see the lower and middle classes being used and manipulated like tools. On the other hand, he felt that this might be an opportunity, and it would be safer to follow the prince of Rune. Also, he was somewhat worried about what had happened today.
Even if this march achieves substantial progress, it will be largely driven by various political reasons. The marches by ordinary citizens are merely a catalyst, not the actual dominant factor.
If these civilians fail to see this point and believe that any problem can be solved through demonstrations, it will only lead to unnecessary bloodshed and violence, and will not achieve any substantial effect.
A mix of emotions welled up within Klein. He was filled with anticipation, worry, and a sense of dread as he watched a scene unfold before him that would surely be etched into history.
the other side.
Audrey was also standing on the villa's balcony, looking at the scene in the distance through a telescope. Beside her, her brother, Hilbert Hall, was looking into the distance with a somewhat unpleasant expression, feeling that the appearance of this group of civilians at this time was just a hindrance and a cause for trouble.
In his eyes, dealing with the aftermath of the smog was the most important thing, and these people shouldn't have jumped out at this time to interfere with their cleanup work. What made him even more upset was that although he was somewhat annoyed by this coercive behavior, he couldn't do anything about it.
Only now did the power of ordinary people seem to be showing a glimmer of itself.
Although the name of the Third Prince of Rune, and those tricolored priests' robes held high, are the true keys to the manifestation of these silent forces.
"That's spectacular!"
This was the first time Audrey had ever witnessed such a scene, but she noticed her brother's inexplicable irritation, so she simply sighed softly.
At this moment, Chael, who was the first to take off his clothes and raise the flag, had already put his clothes back on. Then, he took an opportunity to slip out, changed out of his black and red clergy robes, and put on a traditional nobleman's outfit. He then watched the play on his balcony.
If he remembered correctly, in the original timeline, "Edessaker colluded with the Witch Church to create the Great Smog of Backlund," and the three major churches forced George III to abdicate.
George III's compromises included meeting some of the New Party's demands, including easing election restrictions, appeasing bankers and factory owners, enacting legislation related to environmental protection and minimum living standards, reforming the Poor Laws according to the needs of the Church, and allowing the three major churches to send personnel into the military.
This time, ordinary people also participated in the "coup."
"So if the 'coup' is successful, we should be able to gain more benefits."
Xia Er actually felt that such behavior was not extreme enough. He did not have a strong desire for money and land, so he did not have any deep feelings about hanging nobles. However, it was quite interesting to fine every factory that over-emitted pollutants huge sums of money and rip their flesh and blood out of them alive.
"This time it wasn't radical enough. The common people may not yet realize the power of unity, and the nobles won't really bleed heavily. But there's still time, and there's plenty of time. At least I'm certain that deep down I'm still a Chinese person, and what I habitually do is still the same old trick of reaping profits from the 'middle class.'"
Xia Er was amused by his own words. What kind of so-called noble family is this?
Rebellion against the ruling class? The wolf fiercely throws its fist?
This is just exploiting "businessmen".
