"They won't stop."
I looked at the prime minister after he said this and slowly gave a nod in response since I knew that he was right.
Seeing this, the prime minister continued by saying, "What do we do then?"
I just simply gave a shrug as I said, "There's nothing that we can do about them right now."
"Huh?" Both the regent and the prime minister were surprised when they heard this.
Shaking my head, I said with a sigh, "That's the problem with those religious people, even if you try to reason with them, it doesn't mean that they'll see reason that easily since they have their faith. So even if we were to try anything, it's unlikely that they would listen to what we have to say."
Then after a pause, I added, "Not to mention, the amount of power and resources that they have far outclass our own. Even if we wanted to do something, it would be hard for us to do anything. It is more likely that we would be overwhelmed by the power of the Holy Empire before anything could happen."
