Chapter 456: Chapter 308: Catherine Wants to Offer Everything (5)

"Right, Rose Vesper, I heard that within the Holy Court, not everyone is entirely loyal to Augustus," Catherine said mysteriously. "It’s said that Douglas of the Heresy Court has always been at odds with Augustus."

Rose Vesper scoffed privately, Douglas had long been a loyal subordinate of hers, there was no need for Catherine to tell her that.

"You could try to win over Douglas, as well as Gabriel, the Vice Captain of the Holy Knight Order, who has also been quite critical of some of Augustus’s arrangements. He has always felt that he is the one truly deserving to be the Captain of the Holy Knight Order, and that the current Captain only secured his position because of his close relationship with Augustus. Moreover, he is eager to see his son become the Saint Heir. If you could win Gabriel over..."

Gabriel?

This was news to Rose Vesper.

On the surface, this man always seemed cheerful, as though he didn’t take things to heart, and she had never sensed any displeasure towards Augustus from him.

How could Catherine know about the inner workings of the Holy Court so clearly when she herself did not?

Catherine, noticing the confusion on Rose Vesper’s face, scratched her head somewhat awkwardly, "I like to drink, and one time I got drunk in a tavern. Gabriel was there too, not daring to get drunk in the Noble District; he snuck into the Civilian District. After getting drunk, he did complain about his dissatisfaction with Augustus."

Who would have thought that this drunkard could actually be of some use?

Rose Vesper noted the name; this was someone she could consider approaching. If she could gather a large group of experts around her, toppling Augustus might not be a hopeless venture.

Following Qin Chu’s orders, Catherine fanned the flames around Rose Vesper.

As for Qin Chu himself, he was wandering around the Imperial City with Angelica. After some rest, Angelica’s condition had somewhat improved. Although still weak, she was no longer too frail to walk.

She enjoyed the feeling of being by Qin Chu’s side, even idly wandering brought her a tranquil happiness.

"Angelica, you told me before that Augustus sought you out, expressing his desire to restore your status as a nun of the Holy Court," the voice of her master came from ahead.

Angelica nodded, "Yes, Augustus said that he has cleared up the heresy trial as a false accusation. He has already dealt with some of the Heretic Judges, so he wants to restore my reputation, allowing me to continue walking within the Church Court under the identity of a Holy Court nun."

Angelica didn’t hide anything; she had no need for concealment in front of her master, nor was she worried that her master would suspect her because of it.

All those attempts to sow discord, the conspiracies and tricks, they were useless between her master and her.

"You refused him, why?" Qin Chu was puzzled, "Isn’t restoring your reputation a good thing?"

"It’s enough that my master understands me; I don’t care how others see me," Angelica shook her head and said, "Moreover, if I become a Holy Court nun, from time to time I would have to obey the dispatch of the Holy Court, make pilgrimages, attend worship... "

"I don’t want these trivial matters to reduce the time I can spend by my master’s side."

Angelica’s answer warmed Qin Chu’s heart.

Even though Angelica’s strength was much weaker compared to Ireta, Violet, or Antia, Qin Chu felt most at ease with her by his side.

At that moment, Qin Chu didn’t need to worry about all those numerous troubles and could experience the most comfortable peace of mind.

Without hesitation, he reached out and ruffled Angelica’s hair. Angelica protected the top of her head with her small hands. Although she didn’t dislike her master doing so, that was something for when they were at home alone.

Right now they were outside, and her master had made her hair a mess.

After all, she was also a girl who cared about her appearance.

Unintentionally, Qin Chu stopped walking. This was the Civilian District, and right in front of them was a weapon shop.

Lex was busy inside the shop. He was just a civilian, not even qualified to open a shop in the Noble District, though the weapons he made were so superior that many nobles were his customers.

The current small businessman, the future commercial titan of the entire Sky Dome Continent.

For Lex, this was certainly a life turnaround.

Among Qin Chu’s many enemies, Lex could only be considered the most insignificant one. Although he had commercial acumen and was good at conspiracies and slander, if used well, this man could be very destructive.

But before that, he was just an ordinary person with no combat ability.

Even for such a man, Qin Chu still had prepared a unique way for him to die.

Speaking of which, the silk extracted from Silf had not yet been tested on a human with no fighting ability. Would it be too wasteful to use Lex as a test subject?

While pondering this in his mind, Qin Chu stepped into the door of the weapon shop.

Upon hearing the noise, Lex, who was working inside, immediately put on a professional smile, "Welcome... Eh? It’s Mr. Brave himself."

Lex had not expected the Hero to visit in person, and was flattered, quickly stepping forward to greet him.

He was just a blacksmith, but aside from his skills at the forge, he also possessed a business savvy not found in the average blacksmith. Since leaving the Imperial Palace last time, Lex’s active mind had already begun to calculate.
