"It was revealed the Church was supporting the First Prince from behind."
Uhh, no. That was already known. It was already known the First Prince had the backing of (most of) the Nobles and the Church.
I gave this old man every opportunity to explain his actions every time he does something stupid and/or questionable without any bias but alas, he truly is an idiot
Even if he gets killed because of this, I'm certain not a single person reading this would be shocked (or would even give a f**k)
