Emperor Reinhardt's icy gaze was firmly fixed on Cardinal Noputon.
Unfortunately, Noputon ignored it completely.
Recently, every time Emperor Reinhardt heard news about the North Territory, he could not suppress his inner rage. Perhaps subconsciously, his fear of the North Territory even surpassed his wariness of the Church.
Now Noputon claimed to seek cooperation with the St. Hilde family, and this immediately touched the most sensitive nerve of Emperor Reinhardt.
If Noputon and the North Territory joined forces and succeeded, wouldn't the royal family be marginalized?
Even now, the North Territory presented a threat to Emperor Reinhardt. If they were to collude with the newly appointed Pope then who would have final say in the Empire?
A tangible pressure slowly spread, making the air in the hall seem stagnant.
Though Noputon felt the unmasked killing intent of the Emperor beside him, he still casually savored the champagne in his cup.
