The high priest Rou did not know what to answer for being too afraid of being wrong and his plan would fail, but if he was to think back - his son could not have been on the side of the central temple.
The central temple emphasizes apologizing to the guilty and allowing God to judge while he has been educating children since childhood to emphasize wrong is wrong and those who commit wrongs are to be punished.
But-but
The high priest Rou did not want everyone to know her teachings now, because the followers of the great priest were more than her.
"High Map, why don't you answer?"
The high priest Rou sighed then replied. "True, I told Andi to replace. That time I was stopped by the First Prince's men to leave."
The queen sighed in relief. "Good to hear it, I think we can work well together and fight the enemies."
High priest Rou nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
"Ah, one more."
"Yes?"
"Can you swear allegiance to the queen?"
"Queen?" Asked the high priest Rou in confusion. "Queen only? There is no emperor?"
The dayang queen smiled then spoke in a small tone of voice. "The high priest must know what happened to the queen now?"
The high priest Rou did not know the queen's condition now but her pride emphasized not to ask the lady-in-waiting. "Y-yes."
"Thank God you understand the condition of the Queen who has been cornered by the Empress."
The forehead of the high priest Rou grew furrowed when she heard the name of the empress appear and her blood boiled when recalling the unpleasant past, the empress was one of the people who proposed her banishment from the capital.
How can I lose to someone who is not a noble and also only relies on the power of the Empress?
Before, before the appointment of the position of the high priest. Gabriel seemed to have no support whatsoever, then suddenly the empress appeared and messed things up.
What made the high priest Rou even more upset was the fact that Gabriel could hear the word of the god clearly while he only heard whispers.
Suddenly greed appeared in the mind of high priest Rou. "Then, what if I cooperate with the Queen or the Emperor? One of them doesn't matter as long as I can become a Great Priest."
The queen's dayang does not know how a priest can become a high priest, but if in the past the high priest can now be supported by the empress, why does the queen not support the new grand priest candidate? After all, the queen must know what steps to take because it has a lot of power.
The queen's dayang does not care anything as long as the priest before her can cooperate with the queen. "No problem, the queen can support behind you to become the high priest."
The high priest Rou was satisfied with the lady's answer.
The two of them immediately discussed for the queen.
The empress was not present because it was forbidden by the temple, had previously protested, but after the grand priest went secretly to the place of the empress with loyal subordinates, the empress did not protest anymore.
High priests Rohan and Rahul walked behind the high priest while carrying a small urn containing holy water that has been prayed for and will be dedicated to the emperor. The queen was also present but was not allowed to sit on the side because the empress was not present today.
The queen protested but high priest Rohan immediately explained. "The temple only recognizes one woman who is the legitimate wife of the Emperor, you are not officially married in the temple so we do not want you to be next to the emperor as a form of respect for us.
"In addition, it is also good in the eyes of the people if the Queen is able to keep the feeling of the Empress who is down and sick due to the loss of her only child."
The queen wanted to refute but did not dare because there was an emperor. How could the empress be in a slump when she managed to lower the position of the second prince? The old woman must be having a party inside her palace.
The emperor cleared his throat and threw a sharp glare at the queen. "Filling the temple's request, I don't want any trouble."
The queen only bites her lips when she sees the emperor sitting on the throne alone now, when it is time to show everyone that she is the only woman the emperor loves.
High priest Rohan sighed in relief. Actually the great priest had a sore eye seeing a prostitute sitting next to the emperor's throne, but high priest Rohan had to find a way so that both sides would not be offended by the grand priest's strange request.
"I'm sorry if this offends the queen, but we're very much upholding monogamous marriages. The only good thing was that the temple side did not interfere in the marriage of the queen and the emperor."
The queen was stunned and did not dare to fight the temple anymore.
The queen studied. In the past, marriages of emperors or other members of the imperial family were required to be supervised by the temple even if the emperor wanted to file for divorce, it was mandatory to go to the temple for approval of the deity.
If the temple intervened in her marriage with the emperor, it was certain that her future would be bleak and that she would return to an unpleasant life.
Back in the present, the queen could only stare at the envy of the emperor who was sitting on the throne while being honored and bestowed gifts by many people while on a certain day, but now the emperor was receiving the temple to discuss something and give a blessing.
The queen sighed in annoyance then not long before one of her ladies-in-waiting came and whispered something in her ear.
The emperor, who had been sitting on the throne, immediately came down and shook the hand of the great priest. "Thank you for coming, I look forward to good cooperation with the temple side."
"I am too." Answer the high priest indifferently.
The nobles who came to see the process of cooperation, began to be enthusiastic. If the temple can be invited to cooperate, most likely the second prince became the crown prince getting higher, coupled with the disappearance of the first prince.
"Well, the high priest. As emperor, I respect the cooperation of both of us."
Shamelessly, the emperor took the services of the previous emperor. Everyone inside the hall except the queen, knew about the feat but did not dare to comment on the surface. They don't want to die.
The great priest replied straightforwardly. "Right, cooperation was already established before you set foot in the capital."
The emperor's smile disappeared upon hearing the grand priest's words.
The nobles in the room, became worried. They just remembered that the high priest spoke not filtered first.
In a panic, high priest Rahul explained to the emperor. Although the position of the temple was practically equivalent to the empire, the temple did not want any disputes. "Ah, that is to say before you step into the capital, the temple and empire are already working well together."
