The Governor of Havana, Fox, watched the unruly crowd before him disperse and reassemble like the wind, laughing heartily in his mind:
Hahaha, Castilia is the strongest defender of Church authority and possesses the most devout and steadfast believers of the Traditional Faction.
Hasn't everyone started from a position of weakness and worked their way up to the present? Do you really think Castilia's dominance was just picked up for free?
In the decades since the dawn of the Age of Exploration, it is our mutual achievements with the Traditional Faction that have made Castilia what it is today.
The Archbishop and Saints of the Traditional Faction naturally want to protect Castilian interests. Only if we are stronger can we help them suppress the restless Protestant Doctrine.
Exchanging a covert glance with the Cardinal Archbishop, the annoyance that Byron had invisibly imposed on him was instantly swept away.
