?Chapter 1009: Chapter 516 The Empire Declares War on the Kingdom of Frank_2 Chapter 1009: Chapter 516 The Empire Declares War on the Kingdom of Frank_2 Just as everyone began to vote, the Bishop of Liege from the seats of the ordinary princes suddenly stood up and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, why must this war involve all the nations of the Holy Empire? Has the Kingdom of Frank declared war on the Emperor, the Holy Empire, and the grand Imperial Parliament?”
“Ladies and gentlemen, our soldiers and properties are exceedingly valuable. Why should we compensate for the affairs of others with our own properties? Of course, if the King of Alsace can compensate us for our losses, then it would be reasonable to help Alsace against the Kingdom of Frank.”
Ivita did not look at him, her expression impassive.
The Duke of Zarhu cautiously glanced at Ivita’s face, then explained, “Don’t take this guy’s words to heart.”
“Your Majesty Ivita.”
“The Liege Diocese has long been allies with the Kingdom of Frank, and there was even a time when the position of Bishop of Liege was permanently held by the second son of the Frank Royal Family. Therefore, it is not surprising for the Bishop of Liege to say such things in public.”
Ivita nodded; everyone could see why he was so biased towards Frank.
The words of the Bishop of Liege also garnered the approval of many princes, some of whom had been bought by the Kingdom of Frank, while others genuinely did not want to participate in the war.

The intention of the Emperor was well known to the princes through a roll-call vote.
