High priest Rohan patted the forehead. The explanation of high priest Rahul further aggravated the atmosphere. He also forgot that high priest Rahul was also not very fond of the Emperor, the hatred increasing when he was with the poor duke Aelthred.
Rohan took a step forward to explain. "Your Majesty, forgive our two temple priests. All this time we only interacted inside the temple so it couldn't explain well."
"We're just being honest." Chirps high priest Rahul.
The high priest Rohan smiled as he stepped on the foot of the high priest Rahul, without looking back.
High priest Rahul tried to hold back his screams.
The high priest Rohan gave orders to the young priest to show a stone on a tray.
The emperor frowned not understanding. "Stone? What is this stone?"
The stone was dark brown, corresponding to the emperor's eye color. The color of the stone was not as glittering or luxurious as other precious stones.
The high priest and high priest Rahul frowned when he saw the well-sharpened brown stone. Doesn't that stone look not very valuable?
"The name is agate, Your Majesty." Reply high priest Rohan.
The emperor's eyes widened. "Acic rock? I just heard it for the first time. Is this a precious stone?"
The high priest finally began to understand the purpose of the high priest Rohan and asked the high priest Rahul in a small voice. "What will Rohan do? Does he want to deceive the emperor?"
High priest Rahul did not understand very well either. "Something."
High priest Rohan did not care about the question of the two pastors behind him. "This agate rock is made of mountain magma. Agate is believed to be a source of courage, protection, healing, and provide a calming effect. Did you know the First Prince's army used this stone?"
The two emperor's eyes were wide in disbelief. "really? Is it true that his army used this stone?"
The frown of the high priest and high priest Rahul deepened. Huh huh?
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. You can try it, but this stone is not to be worshipped. Just to accommodate our prayers to a god, think of it as a talisman."
The nobles present were more and more confused, the high priest who in fact only believed in gods now gave his trust to a stone?
The emperor was satisfied. "Alright, let's just say I didn't hear the offending words earlier."
"Oh, apparently he could be offended." Chirps the great priest.
High priest Rahul keeps his feet away from high priest Rohan.
"Well, we can still work well together, right?" The emperor widened his arms to hug the grand priest.
The great priest whose body was taller than the emperor, stiffened.
"We will definitely be able to work well together." Laughter emperor. "Well, the high priest. Bless this emperor well."
Only the high priestesses Rohan and Rahul knew the grand priest's disgusted look to the emperor.
"Can I start?" Ask the high priest.
"Of course." The emperor sat back on his throne, the priest followed from behind and then gave a blessing, turning his back on those who saw the process.
The great priest began to pray, and a light appeared in the emperor's hands.
Today's agenda is to discuss cooperation while praying for the emperor for the future safety of the empire. But the first agenda was for the high priest to pray for the emperor first.
Everyone saw the process with a thump. During this time the emperor did not like the temple too much because it tended to support the empress despite not showing it blatantly.
Now the emperor is prayed for by the high priest.
The high priest immediately stepped aside.
The Emperor looked at the person with a dislike look. "What's wrong? Don't you see we're busy?"
The man shivered in fear then knelt down. "Your Majesty, the people are currently suffering from a plague!"
Everyone in the room was shocked. "An outbreak?"
"Your Majesty, please, please give the order to the temple to help the people affected by the plague."
The great priest snorted unhappily.
The emperor's face also looks bad, if this time the priest is given a stage - then the temple will benefit and look for trouble. "No!" His orders firmly.
High priest Rahul and Rohan had already guessed the emperor's answer.
"Are you crazy? The duties of the temple priest are quite numerous and should not be given any heavy duty, just lower down the doctor or other health worker to see their condition."
From the outside, the emperor was seen defending the temple but some people understood the intention of the emperor who did not want the temple to interfere.
The high priest asked the emperor. "That means the temple should not interfere in dealing with the people affected by the plague?"
Emperor nodded. "Yes, the high priest just sits in the temple and talks to the gods."
The high priest Rohan held the high priest Rahul who was about to come forward to challenge the emperor for insulting the great priest.
The great priest nodded then descended from the steps of the throne. "Well, let's just say that this time the cooperation and goodwill between the temple and the empire is not there, I hope that in the future we can work well together. The temple will also close the door."
High priests Rohan and Rahul seem to disagree, the actions of the high priest go too far.
The Emperor laughed mockingly, this time it should be him who can become a hero. "True, the temple can't interfere with other people's health problems."
"I'm asking for your signature, Your Majesty. We have great respect for all your decisions."
The emperor snorted and took out a quill pen and paper given by his subordinates to make a warrant.
The priests waited patiently.
After it was finished handwritten by the emperor directly, his subordinates rushed to run towards the grand priest and gave the warrant.
The great priest examined and nodded in satisfaction. "This order is very detailed and I will accept it with pleasure, I will not disturb the Emperor's side."
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction then remembered his gift. "That rock"
The great priest had the young priest give the stone to the emperor's subordinates. "Of course we can't take a gift intended for His Majesty."
The Emperor was satisfied as everyone began to submit to his orders.
Seeing the satisfied and arrogant face of the emperor, high priest Rahul snorted softly. A greedy man cannot cover his greed.
High priest Rohan this time did not say anything. The emperor had already acted outrageously at the moment of the crucial meeting for the future of the empire.
The emperor walked out of the room after giving orders sending medicine and doctors to the affected places of the plague. However, there was suddenly one of the nobles who was reminded of the previous emperor's orders and said nervously.
"Don't the competent doctors come from Marquess Bill's territory? I heard the Marquess brought all her doctors out of the region on the approval of the emperor."
Unfortunately the emperor did not hear the words of the nobleman.
