You call yourselves men of God yet will massacre the children for the sins of the parents.
May God have mercy on your souls, Pontiff. My father, King Charles, has none.

I see you haven't understood anything, child. Maybe you should ask your father, the King, who in his wisdom probably can explain you who is the enemy that the mankind must fight.
You're going to need more help than I expected. Much more.
I agree, this is all.
------------------------------------------END OF TRANSMISSION-----------------------------------------
You say, in my wisdom, I should know who mankind's enemy is?
Mankind's enemy is itself.
Humans are our own worst enemy. Lesser men fall to greed, temptation, lhatred. Greater men fall to lust. We are our enemies, Pontiff.
And right now, I am yours. For you have trangressed against my Royal Navy, the men and women handpicked to be my Sword. You have disregarded my Shadow, a woman who has been a most faithful subject and dare degrade her to "child". And now, you, in your arrogance, proclaim we are "immoral" when you declare you shall massacre the children of my Kingdom. You will murder my own blood, from my son Joseph to Emeline.
Instead of humbling yourselves, accepting that you did do wrong in not following the directives of my Navy, you demand a trial, brush off Emeline D'Aramis, and go so forth as to believe you know what I will say.
You do not accept the judgement of my Navy, my own daughter? Then, Pontiff, I do not accept your legitimate right to defend. You, who think of me without knowing me. Righteousness is given to those who deserve it, not those who hold my Kingdom's protectors in contempt.
You, who say you are of God, yet threaten genocide. Massacre.
Everything done has been by my order. I was prepared to rescind it, if you would learn your place and apologize. Now, there is no escape.
Where there was a separation of Church and State, there will be no more.
Because there will be no church.
By my hand.
-King Charles XI
King of Gallia and the Taus.

Your Majesty:
I admit that I was wrong with you. I was hoping that you were in possession of more knowledge, but I see you are as ignorant as the others. I see you can explain nothing to your daughter about the great enemy of mankind. You will not be destroyed by the hand of other man, or indeed that of any of my Church. You will be destroyed by your own ignorance.
You think that your worst enemy is your human brother. Soon you'll learn that it isn't, and then my words will make sense to you.
I wish you luck, King. You'll need it.
In Deux Credimus.
