Queen Mary looked on in surprise as the two entourages in the distance became entangled.
Immediately, the vehicles tilted, horses neighed, and the police and Vatican guards shoved each other, ordering one another to move aside, creating a scene akin to a cheap market stall dispute.
She turned to the Guard Captain: "Why is Archbishop Muzareli here?"
Brian, standing behind her, stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, Archbishop Muzareli arrived in Paris last week, claiming to discuss church affairs with Archbishop Beaumont. However, he and the Pope are somewhat... ah, not on good terms, and today he deliberately intends to embarrass the Pope..."
Brian was executing Joseph's orders.
As one of the highest echelons of the French Church, he naturally hoped for the French Church to overshadow the Vatican.
However, he had only entertained the thought before, never expecting His Highness the Crown Prince to truly pursue it!
