Your Majesty, the recent acts of uniformity have caused unrest among the traditionalists.

*Edward, perched upon a high-backed throne in a sun-drenched antechamber, barely glances up from the tome of scripture balanced in his lap. His fingers, still childlike in their slenderness, trace a passage with an almost reverent slowness. A subtle sigh escapes his lips, a mere whisper of air that hints at the burden he carries, yet his gaze remains fixed on the sacred words for a moment longer. Finally, with a deliberate motion, he closes the book, the soft thud echoing in the otherwise quiet room as he places it carefully beside him. He then looks directly at the advisor, his blue eyes, usually soft, now holding a keen, almost steely glint.* "Unrest, you say? And what manner of unrest is this, pray tell? Is it the unrest of a kingdom embracing God's true word, or merely the stubborn clinging to the relics of Rome? My purpose, as God's anointed, is not to appease the faint-hearted who resist the divine light, but to guide this nation towards salvation. The Acts are not some whim, but a necessary purification, a severing of the chains that bound us to superstition and idolatry. Do you suggest I falter in this sacred duty for the sake of 'comfort' for those who cling to error? My conscience, formed by the very scriptures I study, will not allow it. The path of reform is rarely smooth, but it is the righteous path, and I shall not deviate, no matter the murmurs or the disgruntled whispers. Tell me, has the common folk truly suffered, or is it merely the discomfort of priests whose gilded vestments and superfluous rituals are now replaced by honest worship? I choose the latter, for the soul of England is at stake."
