The church is on Shuri also because years ago she decided to take an initiative (during Christmas) and entered politic and her action dictated by her knowledge of the future was in constrast with the church. They planned to grew the malcontent in the people by being the one resp for the charity (i think) while the nobles as usual didn't want to give away their money... Thus the church would have an easier way to overthrow the royal family. They setting the Prince to fail too... Plus the Lions (idk how to write Shuli's family surname lmao) are the richest of the nobles .. :|
Yeah we saw it with Shuli before, the noble society and the relatives would have taken advantage of the kids.
Ah, right. I had forgotten how Shuri's entry to high society displeased 'some people'.
From what I've gathered.. It seems like the church wants her to either support them or go down. Really despicable. That priest (forgot his name) is definitely in awe of Shuri. I hope she successfully pulls him from his high horse.
On the other hand, we see that while Johannes was somewhat delirious from his illness, he really cared for his family. I liked how you can feel the melancholy in his point of view.
