Cardinal Hernidge advises those who have flocked to his cause to withold voting until Cardinal's Martínez and Meindaerts state their vision for the Holy Church. Hernidge does not intent to be Pope, but will use his influence to help find God's choice.

The Prince-Archbishop was uneasy during the Conclave. He felt a degree depressed on the decline of Tiburtina, even more so, on the complete absence of it in matters such as the continent’s statecraft. He inspired to meddle, to arrest the slow march to death of what remained of Tibur, but he was cautious for he could lose, and the fallout may land on Hillegom. Nonetheless, there was a divergence in this Conclave of sorts, and it had permitted the Prince-Archbishop to persuade for his own election, why he should be elected the Pope. Adrianus, in his scarlet robes of velvet, tippet of sables hung about his neck, and his cappa magna – which he refused not to wear – adjusted his cardinal’s hat and briefly inspected the various precious jewellery the Prince-Archbishops had obtained over the centuries. He then proceeded to stand. If all are acquainted with the pleasant successes of the numerous Catholic missions in Europe, if the numerous restorations to the bosom of the true Tiburan Catholic Church, Adrianus addressed, referring to growing number of converts in Lisse, and of course expansion in Himyar. Not only of the unlearned, of the simple and of the poor, he said, looking at the Cathiopian Cardinal, but especially of the most enlightened, of the most learned, and of the most honoured personages, added Adrianus, turning to Cardinal Hernidge. Creates in the faithful the sweet hope that the day is not far distant when the unity of belief will be re-established in Christiandom which, before the fatal schisms was a crowned glory of this sacred earth.

The difficulties, however, are not so generally known which attend those missions, nor the many obstacles which in the Protestant realms, and especially in the communist, oppose themselves, not only to the propagation of the faith among the Protestants and Atheists, but to its maintenance in the minds of those converted. He paused, calmly bringing his palms together to gently approach the policies he would adopt at being made Pope. I, he began strictly, in conformity with the will of God the Father Almighty, and of the true dignity of the Tiburan Catholic Church, determine that, with swiftness, that the Holy Father order on the Sunday succeeding the Papal Coronation the dioceses of the Tiburan Catholic Church do announce to the very reverend parish priests, to the people, that on this particular occasion, a subscription shall be made towards a resurgent era for Christiandom. Catholic Tiburan Cathedrals, worthy of Tiburtina, in every metropolis of this continent – and of Himyar.

Instead, he said carefully, of witnessing the decay of this Tiburan Catholic Church, I will oversee the reforms needed to allow for the financial, and spiritual resources to be made readily available to usher in the greatest expansion of the reach of the Holy Father. Pausing briefly, he silently observed his fellow cardinals, uncertain whether their decrepit minds were fixated on the trivial details of the softer missions of the Church, or whether they shared his determination to set about the re-unification of Christiandom, and its march across undisturbed frontiers. With the fortification, and then expansion of the Tiburan Catholic Church, our missions can be truly realised. Teachings reaching every corner of Europe. The capability to end poverty. And, most importantly, with the Most Religious Sovereign returned to his rightful place in Europe, an end, to the assured self-destruction of civilisation. I do trust, that you will all consider with such means as may be in your power to the necessary accomplishment of a task eminently Tiburan Catholic, directed to the greater glory of God and of his Church.

This is 11 votes from our ten cardinals with still no true majority. Black smoke.

IC:
Cardinal H.B. Brassell calls for a private audience with Cardinal Deodato Álvarez (@Cathiopia), offering the expansion of Papal Investiture of West Himyar if Cardinal Brassell is elected Pope.

Next, Cardinal Gregorius Fidelitus (@Valkany) & Cardinal Karl of Anders (@Vestrland) are inquired upon. Cardinal Brassell offers the gift of silence on the issue of the Eastern Cape, and if elected Pope to marry
Emperor Demetrius XV of and Princess Ingeborg of personally, thus blessing their marriage as the vicar of God.

Finally the Cardinal of Cantignia pays a visit to the Prince-Archbishop, Cardinal of Lisse. "Pray-tell dear Cardinal, I hope you do not tire of our presence already?" Brassell said after a long bow to his peer, "Three votes to decide the will of God, dare I say, such a swift installation would be a God send to us all would it not?"

"God has not chosen me to lead his flock - surely not dear Meindaerts?" he continued, reaching out and placing his hand on the Cardinal's shoulder, "I gather that God himself has not chosen me, though he wills that I serve mostly closely to the heir to St. Peter's throne . . I note that there are few righteous choices to become Chancellor(*) to your, oh excuse me, the future Pope's Holy See . . " Brassell said with a squeeze upon the Prince-Archbishop's shoulder. "I pray for both of us dear Cardinal, I pray that together we can meet the Holy God's vision for this storied Church."

*Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Secretariat or whichever term our RP Vatican is using.
