The Protagonist's Party is Too Diligent

Chapter 231

The situation had grown ridiculously complicated.@@@@

The mere fact that I knew about the Holy Nation’s secret base carried enough weight to spark a diplomatic incident. While Lutetia was a direct territory under the Belvur royal family, limiting the intervention of other nobles, the problem lay in the location of the base—beneath St. Latina Cathedral.

Belvur’s monarchy was relatively strong, but it wasn’t invincible like the Empire, where nobles could be crushed outright under imperial authority. Moreover, although the royal family maintained a neutral stance on religion, many nobles were devout followers of the Goddess’ faith.

As a result, the Holy Nation's forces stationed in the cathedral suffered catastrophic losses.

Although the gryphon was an imperial symbol, the Empire had never done anything significant with it. Gryphons were untamable, making their use in warfare impossible. Even if Lutetia’s citizens associated the gryphon’s emergence with the Empire, the latter could easily dismiss it with a “We have no knowledge of this” excuse.

The real problem was the chain of events that followed.

While it was clear something catastrophic had occurred at the cathedral, strange incidents also erupted within the Holy Nation.
