Chapter ?1031 Finally Returning
Two more weeks passed...
While the principal area of the ck in was experiencing the arrival of tens of thousands of migrants, Gloria was in the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom, finishing her business in this ce.
After crowning King Stuart weeks ago, this woman had had a brief experience with him before the days that Minos stayed with Abby in the Spatial Kingdom.
On such an asion, they had taken their rtionship a step further, with her allowing him to try out parts of her body he had not yet reached. But everything had stopped before they could consummate their rtionship.
In any case, their rtionship had already reached a level where Gloria could not ignore that man, and even though they had said goodbye on theirst date, she knew that she would soon be seeing him again.
Not only because she wished to do so, but because of the regional situation, it would not be long before her presence would be more necessary in these areas. She now had an agreement with Minos, so it was in her interest to work to avoid some problems.
And this naturally required her presence in this region more than in the past.
But besides these crucial points for the future, she already knew when she would return to visit Minos. After all, the royal wedding was also an event that the Spiritual Church was involved in managing.
That organization wanted to be remembered and have people believe in its doctrines. Thus, they could not help but take opportunities to show off on popr asions like that!
Hence, considering that Minos, Abby, and Ruth''s wedding was to take ce between 6 and 9 months, Gloria already had her trip back to this region marked on her agenda.
In any case, after bidding farewell to Minos, Gloria had finally made her way to the Cromwell Kingdom, where she had previously crowned Cade Cromwell.
After arriving in that state''s capital, she promptly dealt with her regional subordinates.
Gloria no longer wanted to travel to the region at the moment. So, when she was still in the capital of the Brown Kingdom, she had ordered the principal Church subordinates in the region to go to the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom.
She had already dealt with the people of the Kingdom of the Waves and Brown Kingdom, so on this asion, only those from the Kingdom End and the Snow Kingdom had gone there.
As for the people from Stone Ind, since that ce had caused no problems before and during the ck in''s War of Independence, she had not summoned them.
That way, the remaining Church members in those three states finally passed through Gloria''s investigation, with the corrupt ones being eliminated.
Such a thing had ended the day before when she had finished organizing her subordinates in that region.
With that, at sunrise in Capital City, Gloria finally bid farewell to the local leaders and the survivors of her cleanup, taking off from that city and heading south.
"Sigh..."
''I''m finally returning.'' She thought about it as she felt the air rushing past her face and swaying her beautiful wavy hair.
''Minos has advanced twice during this period that I was in this region...'' She considered this, pondering over the nine to twelve months she had been in this region.
"Tsk!"
"That fellow held me back quite a bit around here."
She then smiled and thought about how she had stayed two or three times longer in this ce than anticipated before she departed from the ming Empire.
''I''ve only been away from that ce for about a year, but I feel as if many years have passed...''
''Being around Minos is truly hectic. There''s always something going on, and you hardly have time to breathe.''
"I wonder what that ce will be like when I return?" She said aloud, drawing the attention of her spiritual beast.
That level 59 beast thenmented in its spiritual voice. "I think he will be closer to surpassing you, m..."
"Tsk!"
"How can you say that? Do you want me to lose to him?"
"Then the master will be able to give herself to him without fear."
...
As Gloria flew many kilometers away from Capital City, Cade, his entourage, and the Spiritual Church members returned to that great city''s interior.
But as they did so, they went on to talk about recent events, about the regional changes that they needed to adapt to quickly.
"It seems that the Church sided with Minos Stuart in the end..." One of the people in Cade''s entourage said this in a weak tone, finding it strange that such an institution showed that favorability.
After all, until a few months ago, the Church had never given preference to any regional organization. So, why such a change?
One of the Bishops who Gloria had spared then said. "Archbishop Frost seems to have made a great deal with Minos Stuart.... "
"I don''t have many details, but I''m already warning you that if he fails, the whole region will suffer its consequences."
The other Bishops in the group said nothing, just nodding in agreement. They were all aware that in 20 years, the Church might remove its rule of no outside intervention in this region.
"What does that mean?" Cade asked in nervousness, sensing that terrible things were happening in the shadows of regional power.
Another Bishop thenmented. "Well, we don''t precisely know what Minos Stuart proposed to Archbishop Frost. But if the ck in is not sessful in 20 years, then I feel that the region will return to a turbulent time simr to thest war..."
"No, it will be much worse!"
"That..." The people in Cade''s group looked at each other, feeling ominous premonitions.
And thinking about what those members of the Spiritual Church had just said, Cade soon realized that the sess of his former enemy was necessary for their lives and safety. So, he took a deep breath and said. "Let''s expedite the procedures regarding the migration of our unemployed poption to that ce."
"Strengthen the groups around our borders and put more people in ce to talk to our poption about how the migration process will be done."
"I want the first names on the waiting list to be escorted to our northern border, where they will wait for authorization from the ck in."
"That way, we can speed up the migration of those people to that ce." He said firmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
He looked at the other people there and said. "I have the impression that the ck in will growrger than we expect in the next few years. So, let''s focus our investments in recovering from the war on developing the northernmost areas of the kingdom."
"That way, our professionals and citizens can be closer to that ce, which may increase the chance that we will be able to enjoy the benefits of better resources."
"OK, Your Majesty!" Someone else said before rushing off to start settling this matter.
"Sigh..."
After that, Cade sighed, thinking about how strange it was that he was so willing to help the person who had killed his father, but also how his sess depended on Minos.
"How is the current waiting list?" He asked an advisor standing next to him.
"Our kingdom''s waiting list already has 3 million names, Your Majesty." An old bald man said this as he saw the Bishops next to their group going their separate ways.
''3 million, eh? That''s impressive!''
"Well, let''s follow through with the previous orders and keep an eye out for resources that the ck in may or may not be pursuing. If there is anything that could improve the position of organizations in our state, don''t fail to notify the forces in that state."
"Maybe we can get something if we are helpful..."
...
A few more days passed, and while Minos was preparing to set out for his revenge against the Scourges of the Devil, more problems kepting to the region.
In fact, such problems had been appearing since a few days after Gloria departed from Dry City, forcing young Stuart''s men to remain active.
But given the kind of organization he had built up, the soldiers, subordinates, and stronger allies were learning how to solve the problem concerning the Spiritual Emperorsing from the ming Empire!
