Chapter 1206: Impeachment (Page 1/1)

Each member of the Bright Council was constantly releasing low air pressure outward, making the air in the Bright Council Hall viscous as if it was about to freeze.

Cardinal Swell, who was supposed to preside over the Council of Light, sat on the throne with a dejected face, twisting his body from time to time, he had never thought that this chair, which should have been wide and comfortable, would be so awkward before, and he didn't know how long he would sit in this chair.

After Vincent and Silent left temporarily, there was only a brief moment of silence in the Bright Chamber, and then Durant couldn't wait to jump out and throw out a very fatal proposal for Swell: impeaching Swell.

"The Council of Light has no authority to do this!" Swell muttered weakly as he leaned back on the bench when Durant made the proposal with bad intentions. It seems that when the sewage from Celrant's body was washed away and the councillors of Light in attendance agreed to let him take over as the head of the Knight of Light, Swell had expected this to happen.

"Your Majesty Swell is right, this is not within the scope of the Council of Light's self-reproach. Contrary to everyone's expectations, it was precisely Master Erwin, who stood up for Swell at this time, who had the most fierce opposition to him before, and in the previous debates, although Elwin's speech was not much, he almost always pointed out the weak points in Swell's words, which eventually led to his own defeat.

"Master Elwin—" Kemor said again. She was very confused in her heart, isn't this the best time to oust Swell from the position of head of the Holy See branch in one fell swoop? In the case of his obvious violation of the Holy Code, even if the Council of Light does not have the power to impeach him, as long as it is used as an excuse to expel him from the Council of Light, then even if the branch of the Holy See dies to keep his position, it will only exist in name only.

After the Holy See branch lost the seat of the Bright Council, according to the statute of the Bright Council, the Bright Council could completely override the Holy See branch and directly intervene in the affairs of the Holy See branch. This was a situation that the Council of Light had dreamed of for so long, and Kemor couldn't understand why Erwin would speak out against it.

"I agree with Master Erwin that the affairs of the Holy See branch should be resolved internally. Norman's calm words made Kemor and Durant look at each other, and they didn't understand why these two important figures in the Council of Light would choose to do so.

Erwin gave Norman a look of appreciation, and finally the spokesman of the Imperial Military Department was still clear in his mind and made the right choice. Erwin set his sights on the big fat man, who had been silent, and the current vote was two to two, with the crucial vote falling to Rouspier.

"The Royal Society of Pharmacists abstained from voting on this proposal. Rousspear said after much thought.

After hearing the statements of the three of them, Swell's face showed a lot of life, he never expected that they didn't fall into the ground, which was completely out of line with their style. But he didn't think about it that much now, as long as he could keep the position of cardinal, he would be thankful.

"I need an explanation, otherwise I won't be able to face the arrogance of the nobles. Durant said frankly.

"The reason is simple. Serent. Erwin spat out the words softly, then closed his mouth, insisting that he would not say any more. The solemn atmosphere began to spread rapidly in the Bright Council Chamber, and everyone understood what Master Erwin meant.

If Swell were to be impeached at this point, there would be no doubt that the power of the Holy See branch would fall into the hands of the Sanctuary of Celent, which would undoubtedly be the worst option for the other forces of the Council of Light.

In terms of strength, as the only sanctuary-level paladin in the Ariat Continent in the past 10,000 years, no one can see the true details of Serent; in terms of age, although Celent is very young, but in the current treacherous situation in the imperial capital, it is the most powerful advantage, young age, which means that he will not be bound by all kinds of human sophistication and old stereotypes, this kind of indomitable youthful momentum, it is very likely that a different storm will blow in the lifeless imperial capital, and no one can guarantee that he will retreat in this storm.

What's more, after Celent took power, with the strength of his holy domain, he could definitely twist all the holy cultists in the Holy See branch into a rope with a wave of his arms. This is something that the forces that have finally disintegrated the Holy See to this extent do not want to see.

So the best choice is actually to let the talented Swell continue to stay in the position of cardinal, through today's events, everyone can see that Swell is a guy who does everything to keep his position, if he continues to be in power, there will undoubtedly be a fierce conflict with Selent, and under the two competing for power with each other, the advantage of a strong person in the Holy See branch will be minimized.

There is no reason why Swell is not clear about what all the Bright Councilors can understand, but even if he realizes this, he will never bow to Celent or seek the cooperation of the two, and he is now thinking about how to minimize Celent's influence in the Holy See branch and avoid really threatening his position.

At this time, Vincent and Celent returned to the Bright Chamber together, and as soon as they entered the door, they were startled by the oppressive atmosphere inside.

"Vincent, how effective is your conversation with Celant?" Norman asked first to break the deadlock.

"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. Vincent replied lightly. When Ishtar was the Cardinal Archbishop, no Bright Councilor would have been so arrogant and would have walked past Ishtar and spoken directly to him in this tone. But at this time...... Vincent glanced at the distraught Swell, and sighed in his heart, he didn't understand why Swell, who had performed extremely well before, became so unbearable after becoming a cardinal.

I think that at the beginning, the branch of the Holy See was headed by Cardinal Ishta, and there were four cardinals under it, except for Bishop Olufi, who died in the Battle of Flossacen, Swell's status and prestige were the most exalted, otherwise Ishtar would not have given him such an important position as Cardinal when he left.

But after a few months of observation, Vincent had concluded that Esta must not have made a prediction with the most skillful oracle when he made this decision, and Swell's performance was not only disappointing, but even disgraced the entire branch of the Holy See.

"To tell you the truth, Knight Vincent, we were just discussing whether to initiate impeachment against His Majesty Swell. After all, the mere accusation of Silent's collusion with the God of Souls was enough to make him follow in the footsteps of the former Cardinal of Ishtar and resign!" Elwin said tentatively with a smile.
