Ellis's expression turned unsightly the moment he realized that he wouldn't be able to call a priest.
Why was the situation turning out like this?
One might wonder… but to truly understand, one must first grasp the political landscape of the Valemere kingdom, and more importantly, the real standing of the Light Church.
In the world of Elden, the Valemere kingdom could, at best, be considered a second-tier nation. Meanwhile, the Light Church… it stood as one of the top factions, if not the top, in the entire world.
Its influence stretched across both continents, deeply rooted in nearly every nation.
That's precisely why every country is naturally wary of the Church. Even if they lack the strength to outright oppose it, due to the overwhelming gap in power and influence, they still try to keep the Church in check.
Is there truly no nation that can stand against the Light Church?
Naturally, that's not the case.
