I'M REINCARNATED AND I CAN'T BE HURT
THIRTY TWO

"Doctrine?" ask Zoe to Zuu, after returning home.

"Right, it's likely that the man the first prince saved has been doctored. In fact many cases, only never appeared because the empire was unwilling to interfere. To them, this matter belongs to the temple." Answer Zuu.

Reminding Edrik of his dark past, he held tightly to the necklace pendant by his neck and saw the scene outside from inside the repaired workspace.

Zuu got quick information that the man was the son of one of the high priests who controlled the temple in one area and many of his followers.

"Can the central temple not act?" ask Zoe who's getting upset. "He screamed to kill himself because he was hated by the god and then without feeling guilty saying that he had killed his brother. His mind is crazy."

"It looks like the temple couldn't act because of the large number of followers. I have also tried to find information about this high priest temple. They also torture animals that are considered dirty." Report Zuu to Edrik.

"Dirty animals?" Zoe did not think. "First prince, I can assist in the investigation of this matter."

Edrik. "No, if we interfere. The temple will certainly not accept, the emperor will suspect then Daniela and the empress"

Zoe forgets about Daniela's position at the temple and the empress who has to get a visit from the temple priest every week. "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it that far."

Edrik took a deep breath. "Supervise the area, before the temple intervenes. I'll try to talk to Daniela."

Zoe and Zuu did not understand the reason the first prince discussed it with Daniela.

Once home, Edrik tells Daniela about the man she saved.

Daniela nodded in understanding. "I've heard it in the temple, the man is terrible."

Both Edrik's eyes blinked, still grubby familiar with Daniela's non-formal language. "You wear-"

"Ah, I decided to speak non-formally when we were alone. You don't mind?"

Edrik nodded and refocused. "You know about that guy?"

"Yes, the high priest told me to keep an eye on the man."

"Danger-"

"Just calm down, the high priest won't let me go alone. There are high priests and young priests who occasionally accompany me."

"Why are you the one who was handed over to take care of that guy?"

"Because I understand his position the most, that's what the high priest thinks."

"understand?"

"Well, I'm confused too. Though still fifteen years old hahahaha-but take it easy, the great priest promised to pay my high if the matter was resolved. If necessary, the high priest will make the man's father pay a lot."

"So, the reason you're reckless is because-"

"Money, especially?"

Edrik rubbed his face with both hands, forgetting that his interlocutor was Daniela.

"I did see the man as brainwashed since childhood."

"Brainwashing?"

"Yes, he was too afraid of the gods and at the time one of the young priests laughed at his fear, he was furious and was about to attack the young priest."

Edrik's forehead is creaking deeper. "He killed his brother, too."

"You know that? He said that for the sake of family honor, his brother made a mistake that made the father's sin even greater." Daniela once thought the teachings of the Helcia temple were almost similar to her modern world. But not as extreme as his life now.

"Death to honor was common among the nobility, but now that the temple spread the precepts of the prohibition of suicide, the activity is diminishing. It's just that there are still people who use the teachings of religion." Daniela explained to Edrik. "Suicide and murder are god's prohibitions, but unlike people who have turned, they will consider suicide by god to be honor and killing by god is self-respect."

"Truely, the context is the same but the purpose is different." Edrik understood.

"It is very difficult to change the minds of people like this, certainly in the territory of that person, many have been doctored this teaching. The emperor would also definitely not want to lose so much that it would most likely annihilate them."

"Those who have been doctrinated, will exalt the gods and forget the emperor, the first prince. You know well how the emperor behaves if no one obeys him."

Edrik gritted his teeth furiously. "Dad will destroy them and blame the temple."

"Well, the temple would also be considered negligent. The great priest also came to his senses and handed it to me despite knowing for money, because the emperor would not dare to touch that person if I were the one handling it."

Both Edrik's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Instantly, the temple side also asked me for help as the first prince, right?"

Daniela is innocent. "Who else could the emperor fear besides the first prince? The empress?"

Edrik took a deep breath. "What should I do? I can't move an army there, or you want me to show up?"

"That's right! I don't want you to just show up! Do you want to ruin all my efforts?"

"Then?"

"You went alone to the territory."

"What?"

"The region prioritizes the teachings of gods rather than knowing high nobles, moreover, you rarely appear in public. It's easier for you to investigate the place."

"How are you?"

"I'm looking after the preacher's son, don't rule out catching up with you." Daniela.

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning, Zoe I'm staying to take care of you."

Daniela surprised. "So fast?"

"Zuu has already reported to me how severe the region is, I can't stand to hear them being tricked by a fake priest."

"Actually the priest was not a fake, he had already received an education in the central temple. The problematic one was indeed the way of mind he was too extreme. Be careful and do not get caught, do you have any acquaintances there?"

"It just so happens that the priest's territory belongs to Zoe and Zuu's cousins. Zuu is more appropriate to go there because of his long stay in the region as long as Zoe goes to war with me."

Daniela nodded in understanding. "Alright, I will also report this matter to the empress and the high priest."

"The great priest doesn't matter, why should my mother know?"

"You think I work under the auspices of the high priestess, unbeknownst to the empress?"

"No, my mother would know." Edrik.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll tell Zoe downstairs so we can go in the morning, you also have to be careful because the duke Vilvred's men had to force their way into this place."

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah." Edrik walked out of the room, leaving Daniela pondering.

Edrik and Daniela are both looking for answers. Why does one high priest teach a deviant teaching? Why are the people affected and do not try to avoid and why the nobles in the region just remain silent.

Whatever the reason, Daniela and Edrik must prepare for these troubled people.

Zoe stood up as soon as she saw her boss coming down the stairs. "First prince."

"You go get Zuu, tomorrow morning we go to the area. You're here with Daniela."

"Why am I not coming?" Zoe Protest.

"Only you can I trust to look after Daniela."

Zoe can only resign if her boss has spoken like that.
