Chapter 143 (2)
It wasn't just Rockefeller who was happy about this.
His wife, Sylvia, was also delighted, and all of Rockefeller's other siblings sent congratulatory messages to him as well.
It was just before the dawn of a new era.
'Not long now, and my world will unfold.'
If the Pope and the Emperor were his friends, the world would naturally be favorable to him.
'This way, I can easily gather an army for the upcoming Gold Vein War.'
The royal family could not ignore the defense of the Montefeltro territory held by the Rothsmedici family, and the Church could also raise an army to protect the diocese from the invading Dwarves.
'Either way, it's definitely good for me.'
Rockefeller immediately went to the Papal Court at the invitation of Bishop Verkis, who was elected as the next Pope.
There, Rockefeller was able to meet Pope Francis II, who was formerly Bishop Verkis.
"You've arrived!"
No one was more welcoming to Rockefeller than Pope Francis II.
"Congratulations. You've finally achieved what you wanted."
"What have I done? It's all thanks to you."
Pope Francis II began to speak about the facts he learned while exchanging letters with Rockefeller.
"Your wife is pregnant? You will soon be a father of a child. Congratulations in advance."
"Thank you, Your Holiness."
"Ha ha, it's still awkward. I've been called Bishop all this time, and now I'm hearing the name of His Holiness. I can't tell you how awkward it is."
"It's a good thing."
"Yes, it is a good thing. I really don't know if this is a dream or not. I can't believe I've come this far. Just a few months ago, I couldn't even imagine it."
Pope Francis II, who didn't know the truth, couldn't help but feel sorry for the sudden death of the previous Pope.
"Due to the sudden departure of the previous Pope..."
Rockefeller subtly smiled.
"To be honest, it's now. Since the Church has clearly taken a stance, I can also wholeheartedly support His Highness the 2nd Prince."
"Hmm..."
Pope Francis II, who was deep in thought, spoke.
"Throughout history, the Church has intervened in the Crown War. That way, the royal family could watch our moves, and we could also say what we needed."
"I've heard that the Princes who won the Crown War with the help of the Church were greatly influenced by the Church."
Rockefeller asked.
"Are you thinking of supporting His Highness the 2nd Prince?"
"Shouldn't I be in agreement with you? If you're pushing for the 2nd Prince, it's only right for me to support the 2nd Prince as well."
"I see."
After thinking briefly, Rockefeller began to nod his head.
'With the Pope's backing, it's guaranteed.'
The Church itself could also summon an army for military purposes.
In this case, everyone was afraid of the sacred army that received the blessing of God.
'It's a winning game anyway, but it's going to be more fun like this.'
Originally, in the novel, the Church was a force that opposed the 2nd Prince until the end.
However, as Rockefeller intervened and changed the Church's position, the Church and the Pope became the staunch allies of the 2nd Prince, unlike the previous content of the novel.
"Great. Let's declare our support for the 2nd Prince together. And if we push for him wholeheartedly..."
If he could make a Pope, why not an Emperor?
Rockefeller continued with that thought.
"Will His Highness the 2nd Prince not become the next Emperor?"
