Chapter 159 The Church's Response
Time always flies, especially for Eve, who was being praised by her good friend.
A morning has passed since I left Su Tu's room.
She sat in her office, gazing out the window at the blazing sunlight bathing the earth, lost in thought.
"I never expected that someone as serious as him would actually praise me..."

She murmured softly, and even during the second sentence, the sound only echoed in her mouth without escaping.
Thump thump thump—
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the office door, which pulled her back from her reverie.
Coming to her senses, she tidied her clothes and hair a little, then picked up her pen and pretended to correct documents.
Only then did she say, "Come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sophia walked in from outside and gave a slight bow when she stood in front of Eve's desk.
However, this ceremony was not particularly grand; it was merely a symbolic one.
After all, when the duke was conferred the title, the king had stated that the children of the empire should not be too formal when meeting with royal relatives.
Of course, one should still observe proper etiquette when facing the king, but not when facing a prince or princess.
After Sophia finished bowing, she silently looked up and saw Eve reviewing a document.
However, when she saw that Eve was holding the pen upside down, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Eve.
I noticed she was frowning, as if she was thinking about how to handle the things in the documents, or perhaps she was investigating why the pen was out of ink.
After watching Eve write with the pen cap for a long time, she finally couldn't help but speak up to remind her.
"Your Highness, you're holding your pen upside down."
As soon as she finished speaking, Eve paused slightly in her hand, which was constantly drawing on the paper with her pen.
However, her expression didn't change much; she just looked much more tired than before.
Eve calmly put down her pen and gently rubbed her temples.
"Looks like he's been working too much lately, he's become so confused, he didn't even realize he was holding the pen upside down."
This sentence seemed to be a murmur to himself, or perhaps an explanation to Sofia.
Only she knows the specific meaning she wanted to express.
After saying this, she stopped rubbing her forehead and looked at Sophia.
"Is there something you need from me?"
Her voice sounded exhausted, as if she hadn't slept for days.
If Su Tu were here, he would definitely give her a thumbs up and award her the Empire's only princess the Empire's only Best Actor Award.
It's so realistic! The acting is so convincing, it doesn't seem like acting at all; it feels so real.
For example, Sophia, who was in front of Eve, was successfully deceived by Eve's acting skills.
Seeing how exhausted the princess, who was so concerned about the country and its people, couldn't help but offer a few words of comfort.
"Your Highness, you should rest more. If there's anything you can't handle, you can ask Captain Su Tu to do it."
Su Tu: ? ? ?
Are you taking advantage of the fact that I'm not here?!
Eve's eyes lit up, as if she thought this method was good.
This would keep Su Tu busy, preventing her from dwelling on those unbearable past days, and would also make her feel much more relaxed.
Although Su Tu did help her yesterday, that was all.
He's been staying in his room all day, either sleeping or drinking tea. His days are too leisurely. How can he live up to his position as the leader of the Calamity Squad?
Thinking of this, Eve nodded slightly, as if responding to Sophia's words, or perhaps applauding her own thoughts.
"I will consider your suggestion. Don't worry, I know my own body well."
Seeing this, Sophia breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then suddenly remembered her main purpose for coming.
"By the way, Your Highness, the church has already responded."

Eve was still figuring out how to trick Su Tu, the member of the Calamity Squad, into working for her, when Sophia's words brought her back to reality.
She frowned, looked up at Sofia, and gestured for her to continue.
She anticipated that the church would react to this, even when she was formulating the plan.
However, to everyone's surprise, they started to realize what was happening just one night and one morning later.
Of course, they may have realized it much earlier, but they didn't have a good way to deal with the situation.
Now that they have reacted, it means they have a way to deal with the rampant rumors.
At least this will minimize the impact and prevent it from seriously affecting their foundation.
Having received Eve's signal, Sophia naturally didn't hide anything and gave a general overview of the church's response.
"They claim that the Foolish Calamity is the most powerful calamity in history, reaching the SSS level, and urge the public to stay at home and avoid going out as much as possible."
Eve nodded, thinking this response was quite normal.
They had anticipated this and knew that the power of the Foolish Calamity had reached SSS level, enough to instantly kill most people in the world.
However, based on his previous behavior and actions, it is clear that he did not intend to harm ordinary people.
If they really intended to use their abilities to harm ordinary people, then Dongcheng District would be littered with corpses by now.
The church's leader is probably still fighting against a powerhouse of this level, and even powerful figures from the empire might come to reinforce him.
Then naturally there would be no plan to damage the church's reputation today.
The reason is actually quite simple: if an SSS-level calamity were to attempt to slaughter ordinary civilians, the Empire would absolutely not tolerate it.
They will surely join forces with the church to eradicate this scourge directly, so as to prevent greater casualties.
Naturally, there would be no situation where the church would be framed.
The reason for using this SSS-level Foolish Calamity to attack the Church is, of course, based on the premise that it will not slaughter ordinary people.
Only such a calamity would make the empire wary and prevent them from paying a heavy price to deal with this foolish calamity.
Instead, they used this calamity to attack the church.
Seeing Eve nod, Sophia didn't stop there and continued to explain the church's response.
"They openly invited the Empire, hoping to cooperate with its high command to eliminate this threatening time bomb for the sake of the Empire's residents."
After Sophia finished speaking, Eve couldn't help but look up, her eyes filled with a hint of surprise.
"Is that really what they said?"
Sofia paused for a moment, then nodded firmly. "Yes, Your Highness, that's exactly what they said."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Eve frowned even more deeply, and her expression became serious.
"This is a bit tricky..."
