Chapter 258 - 27: Because I Am the River Valley King
Sure, here’s the translation:

"Are you really like this?" Roman questioned.
"The nobles cannot smear the reputation of the monastery!" The abbot of the monastery was a bit angry.
Roman mercilessly rebuked, "What reputation do you have? How much land does the monastery own? Can the nuns manage it all? How many hired workers does the monastery employ? They depend on the monastery. If you don’t take responsibility for their lives, who will? That’s what you should do! Not secretly gloating as if you’ve done something tremendous."
Mapple opened her mouth, "That land was granted to us by the King, we bought it with our own money, it belongs to the Church Court, it belongs to All Gods..."
"Fool! Where does the Church Court’s money come from? The tithe belongs to the All Gods too, but have the All Gods ever seen a bit of gold? The Church Court amasses wealth in the name of the All Gods, raises armies, and when faith can’t persuade others, uses force to do so. How are you any different from unbelievers like me!"
He scolded Mapple harshly.
No matter how well-mannered the nun was, she couldn’t hold it in.
Her face was ugly, but she couldn’t muster up the momentum.
