"Very well then..." the Young Pope told himself, what needs to be done needs to be done simple as that, no matter how painful and embarassing is. He dialed on the workphone, "This will hurt for quite a while...Ah yes, could I please speak with the Press secretary, there's something I'd wish to announce, if it could be squeezed in-between the schedule?...Wonderful..."

Pope breaks treaty between ES and RS after "following the conscience"The Pope seen somewhat down in the aftermath of the announcement His holiness Pope Peter II is once more in his latest diplomatic stir-up after announcing in a press-conference that he formally and officially ends the treaty signed between ES and RS merely a few weeks after it had been signed with King Akaios of Royal Seleucids. The controversial reasoning behind it, which has left many in confusion and shock, is said to have come from his 'conscience', stating that his signage on the treaty 'was a big mistake all along, realising that betraying my adoptive family who has showed nothing but kindness and love would be too great a burden and sin to carry around.'
The Pope continued giving an example which he thought upon in the aftermath of the signage; "I couldn't stand with myself any longer after I heard the vicious words taunted against the Maori from the majesty of the Royal Seleucids, calling them barbaric and uncivilized...it might not make me immediately a good person but more like a less bad person and I also consider this as a part of sweeping reforms that I'm enacting across the earthly kingdom of heaven, in concurrence with the recognition of the BG minority for example".
As expected it garnered both sympathies and rigourous criticism on both sides, being called 'a warm figure' one one hand and a 'loser' on the other hand. Speculations have risen recently, most of it stating that it had to do with a combination of politics when seeking to become a member of the reputable CNN organisation although has as of yet been unconfirmed.
