I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 338 - 205: Countermeasures

Does Father face not only Uncle and some nobles but also the Church Court?

For a moment, Estella’s mind was also a bit muddled. The prestige of the Earth Mother Goddess Court in Moncalleta was irresistible. Why would the Church Court target Father?

What should be done about this?

Sensing Miss Aries’s pressure and helplessness, Li Xin smiled: "Miss Aries, although we lost a move, it doesn’t mean we’ve gained nothing. Now, all of our opponent’s trump cards are almost revealed. Oliver is the mastermind, Bocuse, who is Boka, is the Dark Cuisine Chef, William, Duke Zheng’s family, and others are merely accomplices. Now, the enemy is clear while we remain hidden. It’s not like there are no solutions."

Li Xin confidently pressed down with his hand a few times, "The current tricky situation is that there are a lot of rumors outside, and they are tending to escalate. We must reverse this and cannot allow it to spread unchecked."

"I heard about it too, but a rumor is ultimately just a rumor," Estella said.

Li Xin shook his head, "Miss Aries, it’s not like that. Rumors are absolutely one of the most terrifying weapons in the world. They can easily destroy a person, shake faith, change the standard of right and wrong, and are more harmful than Inner Demons. Once widespread public acceptance occurs, the cost and sacrifice to reverse it become too great, especially in the current scenario. Counterattack is an absolute necessity!"

Mr. Gemini’s firm words also made Estella a bit more sober, and a mysterious strength rose inside her. Considering the situation within the Royal Palace, Estella also realized the seriousness of the matter. This was no longer a simple emotional problem, and she believed in Mr. Gemini’s judgment.

"Mr. Gemini, what should we do? This doesn’t seem like something that can be explained," Estella said anxiously. Even though she was worried, she hadn’t lost her reason. The Mother Goddess School wasn’t attended for nothing. Sometimes, the more you explain, the more unclear things become, especially when the enemy tries to stir up trouble and frame us.

"The first step is to let the King know about the perfumer and the essential oils. I think there are some things of which Your Majesty is aware. The path to where he stands today wasn’t ordinary," Li Xin said.

He didn’t know the King at all, but he could infer from the results. A person who established the kingdom amidst turbulence using the Celestial Principle School and governed the nation to date could hardly be an incapable person, he firmly believed.

As for how to use this intelligence, it’s up to the King. After all, the relationship between the King and the Earth Temple is unclear to outsiders, but this intelligence is crucial. "Do not expose us."

Estella thought for a moment, "That’s simple, I’ll tell my second brother and have him look into it."

Estella’s second brother is Achilles, who was originally responsible for this case, and just stumbled, so this is an opportunity for redemption and to earn merit.

"Feasible. The second thing is the self-criticism edict. I don’t think issuing a self-criticism edict is necessarily a bad idea; the key is what its content is," Li Xin said.

Her biggest sorrow is the self-criticism edict. Father being wronged is already tragic, and it equates to destroying his foundation. Estella’s heart was full of anger and unwillingness. Listening to Mr. Gemini’s words, Estella suddenly found reliance, and a groundless sense of confidence emerged in her heart. It seemed that no matter what the issue, Mr. Gemini could turn it around, and it wasn’t so hopeless.

"Please teach me, Mr. Gemini," Estella said, standing to salute him, sincerely seeking his guidance.

Although Father was always stern with her, managing her, she was extremely worried when something happened.

"Regarding the banquet, it’s actually a minor issue. As a King, there’s no need to explain anything to them. None of these people are fools. The core issue is still how to account to the people and correct the rumors. After all, the incidents caused by William have brought disaster to many families. Some things, the more they are hidden, the more they cause suspicion. It’s better to be open in dealing with them. Not long ago, the King just announced that when Princes break the law, they face the same punishment as commoners, which is actually an opportunity. William committed a crime, and the King was at fault for employing the wrong person. This matter can be as big or small as it can be. If it’s deliberately downplayed, Oliver will use it to imply the King’s injustice. It’s better to be candid. Looking from this angle, issuing a self-criticism edict is a bit excessive. After all, everything Your Majesty has done over the years is visible to everyone, which might provoke the people’s desire to protect him. Of course, have Hex Bird Report follow up with some public opinion guidance," Li Xin said, then paused, "Of course, this alone isn’t enough; it is also necessary to return a truth to the people. Miss Aries, the people can sometimes be weak, but at other times, they can be very, very strong. As long as there is public support, those jumping clowns can’t stir up significant trouble."

Estella looked at Mr. Gemini, "How should this be done?"

"In terms of details, it’s necessary to express the effect that, for the sake of the country, the King might make mistakes but will never do nothing, much less let the culprits go. Even if it’s himself, the King won’t be lenient. That’s justice. We go all out by giving ourselves a blow first, and then the main act lies with the Inner Demon. Investigate the Dark Cuisine, and whoever the evidence points to, investigate them without any qualms. So the things at the banquet aren’t that substantial. This is still not enough; the key is the photos of the Evil God’s blood fetus beneath the Mother Goddess School. From the Inner Demon to the blood fetus, let the people know that the investigation has been ongoing and that no matter who is involved, there will be no leniency, and it will be thoroughly investigated. As for the scale, that’s for the King to decide."

Li Xin could only provide the method, which also fits the style of the Celestial Principle School. As for how to face the Earth Mother Goddess Court, the struggle between royal power and divine power, only the King himself can make the decision, and outsiders are like looking at flowers through mist.

Estella also understood, feeling a chill from thinking deeply about it. The appearance of the Evil God’s blood fetus in such an inconceivable place as Hedan caused a distortion in Estella’s perception. In her world, the Church Court isn’t supposed to behave like this, but now it’s happening precisely. Of course, she also understands the risk involved. How it is done and what to say are matters of precision. Even the royal family can’t completely turn hostile with the Church Court.

Li Xin could only go this far. If the Earth Temple pushes this situation in the face of the King without any counterattack, failure is destined. No one can keep defending forever in such a struggle, and he also understood why the King would introduce Hex-Tech and the Night Patrol. This, damn it, can’t be used by the Earth Temple at all.

"Mr. Gemini, who do you think is behind the Dark Cuisine...?" Estella suddenly asked.

"Dark Cuisine is a retro dark path and one of the Hidden Powers. In terms of its help in enhancing power, it is extremely rare, efficient, and fast."

Li Xin said, which is what everyone overlooked. To Oliver, ultimately, the only thing that mattered to him was himself.

No matter what, he hoped the King would win.

Estella and Li Xin talked over some more details. As long as they could get the King to accept this idea, given the King’s sophisticated relationship with the Celestial Principle School, he would certainly see things more clearly than Li Xin. Although there was some frustration this time, Li Xin didn’t think this Your Majesty was a weakling. On the contrary, being able to stabilize the throne in such difficult circumstances and support the Celestial Principle School, endurance and wisdom are undoubtedly plentiful.

"Mr. Gemini, thank you. We’ll meet next time."

"See you next time, Miss Aries."

At the Round Table Conference, the two stood up, looking at each other, already quite familiar. Although they couldn’t see clearly, they could feel each other’s smile, and both their figures disappeared from the Round Table Conference.
