I'M REINCARNATED AND I CAN'T BE HURT
EIGHTY ONE
The priests came out with flat faces, some clear-minded nobles started to worry about the sudden outbreak.
"Great Priestess, it looks like we're having a hard time getting out because suddenly a lot of people come up against the palace fence to look for us."
The great priest sighed and made a decision. "We cannot interfere with the Emperor's decision, the temple honors the Emperor's order."
The young priest who did not know the conditions inside and just stood guard outside, did not agree with the orders of the high priest.
"Great Priest, how can you issue such unreasonable orders?"
"Many people are suffering out there."
"Do you have no pity for those who suffer there?"
"Great Priest, please don't act selfish."
High priestesses protect the high priestess and show orders made directly by the emperor. "Emperor who issued orders so that the temple would not have to interfere, we only respect the Emperor's decision."
The priests are dumbfounded.
"Therefore, the Great Priest could do nothing but pray for the victims affected by the plague. If the Emperor sees one of our men acting alone, the temple will not acknowledge that person and he will automatically be expelled from the temple." The high priest Rohan issued an order, representing the high priest.
The priests became confused and did not dare to argue anymore.
High priest Rahul heaved a sigh of relief, the priests did not need to do anything.
The high priest gave the order to high priest Rohan. "Many prints of this evidence, so that the temple is not blamed by various parties."
"Good."
"Then" the high priest saw the front fence of the palace filled with people and shouted calling himself. "Get it to the people with proof of the emperor's command."
High priest Rahul disagrees. "Why don't we wait for the palace to announce? Why the temple first? What if the Emperor's side and the nobles pressured us for making an announcement first?"
What the high priest Rahul feared was the position of the temple that the emperor would push for because of his capricious nature.
"Aren't we all aware of the ever-changing nature of the Emperor for his own benefit?" Ask the high priest without feeling the slightest fear. "If we do not announce now, when the Emperor is still happy with the decision he made and then does not close the temple door according to our orders that will be more harmed. The mess they're making is handed over to us, and then they get compliments - I don't want to."
The high priests as well as the young priests who heard, were shocked. What the high priest said was true, but said it blatantly within the imperial palace where the supporters of the emperor-wouldn't the temple be attacked again politically?
The emperor repeatedly tried to bring down the temple on the grounds of sufficient imperial power, but never declared it blatantly.
The emperor simply told the supporters to suppress the temple, fortunately the temple had a great priest who had knowledge not inferior to the nobles. If that time the high priestess was another priest who relied solely on the power of gods and prayers - it was possible that the temple would not have survived until now.
The high priests and young priests who were dealing with the high priestess, did not dare to argue anymore. Only the high priest knows how to protect the temple from evil.
Not far from where the grand priest stood, high priest Rou watched from upstairs and laughed mockingly. "You are still as arrogant as you used to be, one day you will kneel in tears and ask for forgiveness from me. I can't wait to see your arrogant face begin to collapse!"
The great priest smiled cynically behind his mask after getting a whisper from the god.
After getting directions from the high priest and the high priests, the young priest came forward and announced before the gate.
Why would a young priest come forward and face a desperate people? Why not high priest?
If the high priest were to come forward, the people would force the priest to check on their sick family, and if the high priest did not comply with their request, it would lead to bad rumors about the temple.
It is better to have the young pastor come forward and announce, because everyone knows that the young pastor is still in the learning stage.
The young priest began to announce the emperor's orders and declared that the temple would obey the emperor's orders, evidence of the orders being placed on the notice board in the imperial square.
The people rebelled in anger and some were crying.
"Why was the Emperor being evil?"
"What is the fate of our family?"
"Please, we just heard the High Priest and the Great Priest come to the palace."
The young priest finally understood why more people gathered in front of the palace gate than in front of the temple gate, they heard about the meeting of the Temple and Emperor representatives.
The young priest cupped his hands together and prayed fervently. "I, as the temple representative apologized for not being able to treat many people in the empire, but the Emperor had issued an order so that the temple would not interfere. We as citizens of the Helcia empire, cannot ignore his orders.
"Therefore, I suggest everyone go to the nearest doctor and seek healing to them. The emperor already said he would give the best doctors to the people."
The people who stood in front of the gate and heard the young priest's explanation were disappointed.
The young priest rushed off and got into the carriage.
The great priest opened the portal and the carriage entered into the portal.
"No! The reverend! Don't go!"
"Hey, what are you doing? Had heard for ourselves right that if the priests were forbidden by the Emperor to treat us, what should we do? Just expecting the best doctor."
"Have you met the Emperor's standard best doctor yet?"
"The best-named doctors in the empire for the Emperor were able to say sweet and serve nobles well, what about people like us?"
"Your explanation is long-winded! I don't understand it at all!"
"Will the best doctors for the Emperor care for the poor like us? They must have reasoned that the cost of doctor's education and medicine were expensive." A middle-aged and somewhat fat woman patted the chest sadly. "My husband used to get sick and was taken to an imperial hospital. Imperial hospitals are not what they used to be, they are just being nice to patients who are willing to spend a lot of money. Then what about us? They definitely don't want to take care of us seriously."
"A-there are also good-natured doctors who are willing to take care of us, they are also called the best in the empire."
The woman replied. "Indeed they're best for not being favoritist, but their kindness only requires practice to deal with illness while doctors who are genuinely willing to deal with illness for the poor like us, are driven out of the capital."
