Chapter 290:
Isaac had an incredulous expression.
“What do you mean, ‘Is it true the Emperor was excommunicated?’ What nonsense is that? Do you think excommunication is some kind of joke or prank? You people have excommunication too, don’t you?”
“No, I was certain that the Codex of Light was up to some strange trick again. Like breaking the Licht Treaty to create a nation ruled by angels once more.”
“That’s what ended up happening, though. This is now the Gerthonia Holy Empire.”
“Something doesn’t add up.”
“What doesn’t?”
“I don’t know exactly what the Licht Treaty entails. I just vaguely understand it as dividing power between the earth and the heavens. Because of that, angels couldn’t directly rule a country, but the treaty was broken when the Emperor relinquished his power, right?”
“You seem to know quite a bit. No need to explain how you came to know it.”
Isaac felt a twinge of pity for the priests who had likely been captured and tortured under the Olkan Code, forced to reveal the ‘truth behind the Emperor’s excommunication.’
