King Grindel recieved word in the Hospital. No time to go see his new child, for ther Pope has summoned him to Genesis City. "Ah, the Holy Father will shower me with praise for killing the Zolony ruler and defeating him in battle! I my be knighted into some great Holy Order." This all raced through Grindel's mind as he packed for the flight to the center of the Catholic World.

He made sure his bandages showed off well, to show the wound he recieved for God!

I can't prove the killing family one. It's a secret. I guess I will think of something.

I'm sure the Pope has a network of spies that can inform him of that.

OOC: Insulting and rude behavior among dignitaries. Starting an unauthorized conflict against Zolony. Insulting comments and behavior toward the Pope. Rumors of his behavior in general. Starting a religious order that slaughtered innocents. Arrogance. Behavior unbecoming a royal. Being generally obnoxious. If you want, you can claim statements from members of the court that he did kill his mother.

The Pope sat regally in his throne at the centre of the back of the huge new court room that been built in the Urban IX Palace Complex.

To the left and the right was around 250 - 300 people, from all over the Catholic World. They all stood chatting to each other, conversing over the latest situations in the Holy Land, Saxe-Coburg and other troubled spots.

The huge doors at the entrance to the court room opened, their hinges creaked slightly under the weight of the doors. The attendees at the court all looked to the door and saw King Grindel, King of New Harumf and relative of the Pope enter the room.

One young lady, from the north of Catholic Europe, looked at this peculiar King, man but very much a child. He waved his bandaged arm around at the court, whilst also pointing to his head which was also bandaged. This clearly was the war wounds that he had received from Zolony.

He bounced up and down, followed by his wife and family as well as several attendants, soldiers and Priests, towards the Holy Father. King Grindel smiled fervently as he reached the Pope, clearly very pleased with himself, as he ever was. Pope Julius IV looked very stern and angrily back at Grindel.

"Your Holiness, don't look at me like that" Grindel said, clearly not happy at the mood with which the Pope had received him "I've fought a glorious war, look at my wo-"

"SILENCE!" bellowed the Pope back.

Grindel looked at the Pope in astonishment, in total shock. The rest of the court too became deadly quiet.

"Don't shout at me" Grindel replied, much like a spoilt child telling their chastising parent off.

The Pope waved his hand and 10 guards, 5 either side of Grindel, came rushing up to the King and grabbed hold off him. The Pope then immediately waved his hand forward and the troops moved Grindel forward.

"LET GO OFF ME! I AM KIGN GRINDEL OF NEW HARUMF!!!" Grindel cried as he was dragged forward.

The Soldiers did not listen but merely did as the Holy Father had asked them to do. They pushed him forward to the floor. Grindel collasped on a heap in front of the Pope, he immediately went to get back up.

"Kneel before the Holy Father!" The Pope ordered him.

Grindel looked up to Julius, his face angry at such treatment and ignored what the Pope had said, protesting as he stood to his feet.

"How dare you treat me like this? I have fought a glorious war, I am a King!"

"AND I AM THE POPE!" Julius bellowed back.

Grindel looked at Julius in astonishment.

"Kneel Grindel" Julius continued.

Grindel ignored this.

"KNEEL!" Julius repeated, the veins in his face pulsing and visible.

Grindel again ignored the command, defiant much like a spoilt child. The Pope then waved his hand towards Grindel and the 10 guards came rushing back and forced Grindel to kneel, with two pointing guns at his neck, forcing him to stay kneeling.

"JULIUS! How dare you do this to me!"

"SILENCE!" The Pope bellowed back.

Grindel wept. His wife pleaded for this to stop but was silenced by some of the Papal nuns.

The Court looked on in astonishment at what was taking place. Before them, the aged and fragile Pope sat, regal and holy, his word the undisputable truth that must be obeyed, and in front of him knelt his cousin, the King of New Harumf, weeping, a descendant of the glorious Royal Family of Catholic Europe.

"Grindel, your recent antics have been a bloodbath. Your racism, intolerable in the Church, led directly to the slaughter of thousands of innocent New Harumfians who you led into a battle that was illegitimate and that only served to bolster your large and self-obsessed ego."

Grindel looked at the Pope in distress, and in complete utter astonishment. The Pope stood up and walked slowly to Grindel, talking so that all in Court could hear as he walked towards Grindel.

"Your contempt for me, which is infamous, and has been proven true in front of hundreds here today is blasphemy of the highest order" the Pope continued.

"Your religious Order, under direct command and orders from yourself, has slaughtered thousands of innocents in a blasphemous and murderous way."

"I have done no such thing" Grindel retorted.

The Pope looked at Grindel, kneeling right before him. He took his stick that he had used to walk with and whacked Grindel with it. Grindel screamed out as he was knocked to the floor. He put his hand to his face before he was grabbed by the guards and forced to kneel again.

"I have done nothing wrong, this is all lies, fabricated lies" Grindel again protested.

Pope Julius looked down at Grindel in silence whilst Grindel continued protesting, louder and louder. He began to bend down, towards Grindels ear as he whispered into it.

"And I know you killed your mother and grandfather!"

Grindels face dropped as he heard this, he went silent. His face as white as a sheet, he shook his head slowly at the Pope, denying what he had done.

"How dare you accuse me of such a thing, you liar" Grindel returned to the Pope.

Julius face grew red in anger and he hit him again with his stick, knocking Grindel flying back. He panted as he shouted at Grindel, his face red, his veins pulsing, his heart beating a 1000 times more than it should.

"YOU ARE HEREBY REMOVED OF YOUR THRONE AND ARE NO LONGER KING, YOUR AUTHORITY IN NEW HARUMF IS NO MORE, YOUR STATUS NOTHING MORE THAN A PRINCE OF THE BLOOD"

The Pope panted heavily as he stumbled back to his throne. Grindel lay crying, his face black and blue. The Court looked at each other in astonishment and shock, but, as Julius stumbled back slowly to his throne he cried out in agony and fell to the floor.

OOC: So, he's not King anymore? What does that mean for the war?

I don't know....as far as I had discussed with New Harumf I thought that I would strip him off the crown, Grindel would then stab Julius and run away only to be captured and ransomed back.

In the mean time can Zolony invade New Harumf, NH?
