The Brain of a Duke Princess

"Eccommunication"

"Tell me, what happened?"

Of course my voice was tense as well. Just why the two of them came in such a hurry with such a desperate expression .. It is almost impossible that it was for some reason for no reason, I suspect.

"This is Darryl Church – they will pronounce excommunication against Milady …!"

"Say what…!?"

At a turn of events that would not happen even in my wildest imagination, I involuntarily let out a voice like a scream.

My face paled. A sudden wave of dizziness flooded me as if I was suffering from anemia, and my heart skipped a beat inside my chest.

… In this country, the Darryl Church is the official religion, with most of the population affiliated as its followers. In fact, regarded as the representative of the God the citizens worship as the object of faith, the words of Pope Darryl Church and his Priests bear significant weight. Sometimes, such can easily surpass aristocratic authority.

As expected, it was established so that the son of Pope Darryl Church had to attend the academy reserved for the children of nobles only.

Meanwhile, the statement of excommunication by the Darryl Church means that the subject will no longer be recognized as one of his followers.

Almost every citizen in the country is a follower of the Darryl Church. Conversely, people who do not believe in the eyes of others are referred to simply as “ heretics. ”Moreover excommunicated, they are considered sinful to the Church and also subjected to public humiliation.

For a noble daughter who should be the prime example of a country to be excommunicated .. This is not a problem at the level of giving me a bad name. That's something that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Obviously, all the credit and personal connections I have built so far will also be gone.

To speak as Earthling, perhaps this is somewhat similar to an event referred to as the Canossa Humiliation. Without a doubt, many would use this statement of exclusion to attack me.

"Reason is?"

“Because it deliberately destroyed the church. Disturbing the land devoted to God is a brazen act against Him, a sin that cannot be forgiven. ”

“.... For intentionally destroying the church …? Don't tell me, the ground adjustment project … ?! ”

Of course, I did destroy one of their churches. It was the building used as the orphanage where Mina used to live. Nevertheless, it should not be a problem since the place no longer belonged to the Church, the current piece of land did not belong to anyone. In addition, we already have plans to build another large church as a replacement.

This is really against me. No, the more I think about it, this statement is an attack directed against the entire House of Dukes of Armelia.

… Is the son of Pope – Van – pulling the rope from behind? Or perhaps, the Church itself arranged this incident? Or else, this became another tactic of the Second Prince's faction?

“As for the countermeasures .. that's right, let's leave the construction plan and the design of the new church to them. We need to clarify that it is not just destruction, but the relocation of old buildings to other places. ”

In the meantime, our main concern is not figuring out who did this. Of course, it would be great if we knew their identity .. but for now, our priority is the reality presented before us.

Instead of trying to find a mastermind, it is necessary to deal with excommunication in one way or another .. Surely, I must apologize to Father and Mother for the inconvenience I caused, as anxiety spreads throughout the city the affairs of discord will stagnate, and the damage to the Conglomerate will become immeasurable.

“Sebastian, please get ready. ”

"As you wish. ”

Sebastian bowed, then immediately turned around, and left the library.

"And Tanya, what about your emergency?"

Nothing can surprise me at this point. On the contrary, I believe there is nothing more devastating than asking the Church to declare you a sinner.

"Mrs, there are two things I would like to report to you. The first is an update on the development of the investigation into the attack on Milady the other day. ”

Frankly, I don't have the luxury to listen to progress reports on the matter at the moment, even though my life was in danger at the time.

"I don't think so, please listen to this, Milady. As I continued the investigation, I discovered that the fief, where the attack took place, was actually supporting the Second Prince's faction. However, it was unknown if it and the bandits had anything to do with each other. ”

"I saw . What's next?"

Unfortunately, although under normal circumstances this would be a huge explosion, the impact of the previous report was so great that Tanya's discovery seemed most trivial.

“Ya, and here's the second report. The brawl has already announced an increase in trade tariffs and tolls on Armelia Duke House. ”

"…Say what!?"

Once again, I unconsciously let out a voice like a scream.

… After all, the neighboring territory located to the north is the main route from our Armelia territory to the royal capital. With the east side facing the sea and the west side completely occupied by rugged mountains, the, there is no choice but to take a detour if we choose to travel on the road south to the royal capital located in the northwest. Inevitably, most of the exports from our region had to pass through that adjacent northern region to arrive at the royal capital.

"The reason is …?"

Nonetheless, the neighboring fief was small to begin with, as half of the northern region was merely a mountain. Moreover, as they have become an important trading point, they are more trying to develop lodging and tourism than the cultivation of fields – then the amount of fertile land is not much and they have to rely on the export of grain from our region. Thinking of such a situation has made me completely ignore this possibility …

“Because their master is an excommunicated sinner, is what they declare. And also, to protect our domestic agriculture. ”

“To protect their domestic farm … !? They only had a few plots of land planted for such a large population! "

The level of self-sufficiency of their food is terrible, and without affordable agricultural products from our region, I doubt they can even manage to feed themselves, was this an attack by the Second Prince's faction?

"Why ... for both of these things to happen at the same time …!"

With the announcement of the neighboring region, the current situation became dire. Other fights ...especially those belonging to the Second Prince's faction, would take advantage of this development. In addition, it is not only exports to the royal capital. The process of conglomerates to set up new stores established in other regions will also be affected …!

Gradually, we tried to expand the scope of trade, not only to the royal capital but also to other regions and foreign countries. That is, if there is an internal dispute in the royal capital, we can still earn a good income from business.

However, inevitably if other regions decide to impose tariffs on our goods.

“Rehme, please do some research on how long it will take for transportation and the cost to be incurred if we switch to an alternative route from the south, then make a comparison and report to me. And Tanya, please ask Moneda and Sebastian to come see me as soon as possible. ”

After Sebastian has finished making preparations for the previous issue, we can discuss the impact of the current situation on the affairs of our homeland. At that time, I will also call the main bureaucracy fief to the meeting.

"As you wish. ”

Ask once again to leave. I also left the room after that.

I almost felt like I was fainting on the way back, but still struggling to stand firm .. Now is not the time I can let myself faint!

The road to this research is strangely long for me today. It would be great if everything happened so far was just a nightmare.

Despite this, cold sweat rolled up my cheeks and my back made me realize that this was the reality.

Anyway, I have to go back to the study room immediately …
