Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 17

“They say a saint has come from Acireto.”

“Shh! He’s not a saint yet! The Imperial Painting Bureau hasn’t officially canonized him, has it? Watch your tongue.”

“But still, everyone’s whispering he’s an apostle from Acireto! They say he’s a profoundly virtuous scholar who knows everything!”

Acireto was a principality located at the southern tip of the Kingdom of Etruria—and also a vast island.

Though the people shared the same ethnicity, language, system of weights and measures, and currency, their speech patterns, national character, and customs differed slightly from those of the mainland Kingdom of Etruria. The ‘Apostle of Acireto’ was a priest who had gained immense popularity in that principality through his sermons.

The core of his preaching was that ‘Gon of Yessak’ was not the Son of God, but the son of man—and that ordinary humans like us could also become as exemplary as Gon of Yessak through effort.

This idea had grown into an entire school of thought, and by now, his followers had multiplied like clouds.

This was an unwelcome development for the established powers.

Followers of Pope Ludovico, who championed the doctrines of the Divine Fatherhood and the Holy Trinity, called for an ecumenical council in Trevero to definitively settle, once and for all, whether Gon of Yessak was truly the Son of God or merely the son of man.

“We must theologically establish, beyond doubt, who exactly Gon of Yessak is.”

“If we let this discussion unfold naturally, the region of Acireto will end up practicing a religion fundamentally different from that of the mainland continent.”

“This is our chance to bring true truth to the Central Continent!”

Everyone held their own thoughts as they prepared for the Council of Trevero.

In principle, all clerics of bishop rank or higher from across the entire continent were required to gather in Trevero, the territory directly administered by the Imperial Painting Bureau in the northern continent, to attend the Council of Trevero.

However, Cardinal de Mare did not belong to Pope Ludovico’s faction, and Ludovico, aiming to secure a stable majority, had devised every possible pretext to prevent non-aligned clerics from even reaching Trevero.
