I'M REINCARNATED AND I CAN'T BE HURT
SEVENTY SEVEN
High priest Rou was allowed into the meeting room after the emperor expelled the ministers and other nobles.
High Priestess Rou entered with a dirty and smelly body, there were even traces of tears under her armpits due to the sword that Daniela threw.
His body, which is always well maintained and fragrant throughout the day, must fall apart because of the actions of the first prince.
What the high priestess Rou knew was that the emperor hated the first prince and wanted his death.
High priest Rou gave a respectful greeting to the emperor.
The emperor observed the appearance of high priest Rou. "Master, what's with your appearance? Why is it like this?"
"I was kidnapped, Your Honor." Reply high priest Rou.
"abducted? Who kidnapped you?"
"First Prince."
The emperor stood up from the throne and stared angrily at the high priest Rou. "DON'T LIE! MY ADVISOR HASN'T REPORTED AND UNTIL NOW THERE'S BEEN NO NEWS, THEN YOU-"
"Your Majesty, I speak the truth." The high priest Rou took the cloth that had an emblem on the body of one of the victims from behind the coat. "This is Your Majesty, look. There's a coat of arms from the First Prince."
"Did you see the guy directly? How's character?"
"Yes, I saw it in person. He was a large tall stature and also had an aura of intimidation." Nod high priest Rou. "I'm sure once it was the First Prince, they called it too."
The emperor had never met the first prince in person, only hearing stories from his subordinates regarding how ruthless the first prince was and his large bear-like body. "Did he hurt you? Threatening you?"
High priest Rou answered quickly. "Yes, he-"
High priest Rou was silent at once confused. If he says yes while his body is fine then it will be suspected. The demons inside will be discovered as well. "No."
The Emperor frowned in confusion. "Where is it right?"
"A-"
Duke Vilvred saved high priest Rou. "Maybe the First Prince threatened to harm the High Priestess then he managed to escape from the chase and bring evidence."
High priest Rou nodded quickly. That's the only answer that makes the most sense.
The emperor understood. "Once, I'll send people there to find out. Who knows Marquess Bill was killed there."
The nobles in the meeting hall were shocked then exchanged opinions.
The emperor laughed inwardly, if there was no first prince in the region - at least he could kill marquess Bill and his family and hand over the position of marquess as well as royal advisor to his people.
High priest Rou heaved a sigh of relief.
The Emperor stood up and announced his decision. "I WILL SEND THE KNIGHT FORCES INTO THE TERRITORY FOR INVESTIGATION AND ALSO LOOK FOR THE FIRST PRINCE AS WELL AS MARQUESS BILL. I'M AFRAID THERE'S A PROBLEM THERE."
One of the emperor's supporting nobles shouted disapproval. "Your Majesty, don't go there. What if there really is a trap? Then this High Priestess is the First Prince's spy?"
High priest Rou shouted furiously. "DON'T BE INSOLENT!"
The other Emperor-supporting nobles shouted furiously. "Who are you, feeling entitled to yell at us? You're just a high priest!"
The high priest Rou did not like the humiliation they had thrown at her. "Although I am only a high priest, it remains that I serve the gods while you are all just ordinary nobles who feel higher so dare to insult a priest who serves the gods."
High priest Rou bowed. "Your Majesty, if they don't believe my words. Nor would they believe the words of the followers of the gods and surely the gods would be angry and upset."
"You-you"
One of the emperor's followers stopped his friend from speaking again then shook his head as the follower stared angrily at him. "Not now." Speak in a soft tone.
One of the emperor's followers fell silent then tidied up his clothes and remained staring coldly at the shameless high priest.
"Tomorrow I have a meeting with the temple priest along with the second prince and his wife begin to carry out their duties, so be prepared High Priest Rou."
High priest Rou asked the emperor without feeling the slightest embarrassment. "Where am I resting? It can't be in the temple."
The emperor understood. "True, you can't possibly return to the temple under these circumstances. Rest in the special palace of guests.”
"Thank you for the kindness, Your Majesty. May the god Helcia bless you."
The emperor was satisfied.
In the basement of the temple.
"GET RID OF ME! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THE ADULTER STILL ALIVE! HE MUST DIE!"
Rohan saw Andi's condition getting more and more miserable. Not wanting to eat and just want to drink and then throw a curse sentence for the adulterers.
"THE WORLD IS STARTING TO CHANGE! EVEN THE TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING AN OUT-OF-WEDLOCK RELATIONSHIP, ALL OF YOU ARE DESPERATE! ARE YOU NOT AFRAID OF THE CURSE OF THE GOD HELCIA?!"
The priest who had healing powers tried to heal Andi who was still tied to the chair at a safe distance.
Andi shouted while condemning the sins of the humans he met and then fell silent in fear while looking out of the cell. "He's coming"
Rohan frowned.
Andi scared. "He's coming, he's in! Why did you let him in?!"
Rohan asked the priest around him. "Who does he mean? Do you guys know?"
The priests around him shook their heads at the same time.
Andi shouted furiously. "TIMES! WHY DID YOU BRING THE DEVIL HERE?! HE'S GONNA KILL ME!"
While the priests handled Andi, the high priest met the queen at the temple.
The queen sits on the temple garden chair, tea in the temple is provided with a luxurious aroma. "I did not expect the temple to welcome guests with high-quality tea, was the Empress the sponsor?"
The great priest who wears a cat face mask with bells in the ears, moves gracefully to cause a beautiful bell sound. "Do you mean how much the Empress spent on the temple to be on her side?" Ask him casually.
The queen was astonished and did not believe the grand priest could speak so blatantly. "You can also joke, I can't possibly mean a sentence like that. I have great respect for the Great Priest."
"For a woman who seduces people's husbands with her body, I don't think I'm that stupid." The great priest placed the teacup on the table. "Your Majesty the Queen, even a Great Priestess like me understands the meaning of the noble intentions. Are you underestimating me?"
"Geez, I can't possibly underestimate your position, Great Priestess, I'm just curious. I'm sorry if that question caused a misunderstanding."
The grand priest nodded briefly. "I assume I didn't hear anything."
The queen almost vented her emotions. Though she was the wife of the emperor, but could be insulted by a temple priest, not only that - even the priest did not accept an apology and considered her speech was just nonsense to be understood.
