The Priest and the King 01 The King's Favor

His Highness raised his head vigorously.

"I have no intention of rebellion at all. As far as I am concerned, I have no intention of that at all."

What he said on this occasion sounded like an excuse, but Zhou Ci's eyes were quite clear.

"Thank you very much. Sasha-sama is willing to come here in person. I was overjoyed and gave me a chance to explain. The reason for the commotion before was because my wife and I were too incompetent... to be taken advantage of by those who intend to subvert the king's government. ..."

Tears of regret seemed to well up, and the Prince fell silent for a while.

"What the hell is going on?"

Doesn't sound like a lie.Sae asked bluntly.

"You said you were being used..."

"Sister... my wife's sister... that is, the former princess!...their sisters have a deep relationship. After the princess committed suicide, the wife suffered from heart disease...after giving birth to Yiliang..."

The prince burst into tears, and at the same time desperately went on.

"It's all... the fault of the real name. The madness of the wife has intensified. Looking back now, the real name given by the star foresight, no one knows whether the future will really happen... Please forgive me for saying this. To the wife who lost her sister In other words, Yiliang’s real name became a tool for revenge, so he told some people. As a result... it was used by the anti-royalists.”

"How could the real name have such an effect? ​​What kind of real name is it?"

Sae Sae, who was not talking fast, asked in a hurry.

Because the whole person is restless.

The prince replied, rubbing his forehead against the dirty floor.

"I'm afraid it will spoil your ears... I'm really grateful that you are willing to listen. If I could have known about the existence of the pure Rainbow Son... at least I could... support the wife who committed suicide after the princess. ..."

As if about to spit out venom, His Royal Highness said a real name.

"——"The father of the next king". That is the real name given to Yiliang when he was born."

Sasuke was too surprised to speak.

...There is such a thing...

So, what about the king?

What will happen to our King Luo Gang?

but--

The name chosen by the star foresight should not be wrong.

In that case... King Luo Gang probably died young.Is it because of the war, or will he be assassinated...?

Sae Sha felt the cold gradually creeping up her body, and she couldn't help shivering.

...my lord is more important than my life...but I can't protect you by your side...

Sae Sha suddenly felt a gaze.

It is His Highness Yi Liang.He raised his head and stared at Sae.

The eyes met, and he lowered his eyelids as if he was still a boy shyly.

"Father, seeing the holy rainbow will teach you to fall in love at first sight."

Yi Liang whispered to Zhou Ci who was lying flat on the ground.

"Just looking at it once, the soul trembles as if it was pulled away. If I stare at it for a long time, maybe even I will go crazy like a king."

The words with a wry smile reached Saesha's ears even though the volume was lowered.

"What a shame!"

Yong Jun yelled loudly... But that was obviously to prevent Xi Sha from hearing Yi Liang's whispering.

"Master Sae, you are about to perform an important ceremony, please return to the temple as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he hugged the dazed Sae Sha under his arms and left the prison.

Is that the prophecy made by the previous star foresight?

King Luo Gang was supposed to die?

How many people know His Highness Yiliang's real name?

What should I do……?

Sitting on the flying dragon, Yong Jun just sighed in the face of one after another of questions.

After a while of silence, he whispered.

"I don't know what happened in the past. When the rebellious anti-royal faction was suppressed, they were all punished... but rumors spread to some extent. I heard that real name at the time... I also suffered a lot. shock."

Seeing Sae Sha covering her face with her sleeves and about to cry bitterly, Yong Jun comforted her with a flustered face.

"It's okay. Please don't cry. You should pinch Xingzhi's neck and let him say the auspicious words that the king will live forever and rule the world forever."

It was quite a nonsense statement, but Sae Sae touched her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Then...then..."

Is the king childless?Or is Princess Meiyou unable to have a baby?

Sae Sha suddenly realized.Everything is focused on one point.

"Could it be... that I am... the cause of everything..."

Yongjun behind him was silent.

Neither negates nor affirms.

Sae Sae, crushed by despair, muttered to herself.

"...so... that's how it is... the ministers... all think so..."

If King Luo Gang's self-proclaimed real name - "Crazy for the Rainbow" is true, then how desperate the former king would be when his eldest son was given such a real name.

It has nothing to do with the inherent black hair and black pupils.The previous king did not alienate King Luo Gang because of this.Because he was worried about his son's future after hearing his eldest son's real name, he would destroy the domestic temple.

Then came the real name of the prince's son.

If you can understand the whole thing to this extent, it means that the real name of King Luo Gang has been heard by several people.No, even if you haven't heard it, it's not hard to imagine it.Just look at the behavior of the previous king to understand.

"The future... can it be changed..."

Yong Jun murmured, as if asking the sky.

"If the rainbow hides..."

The madness of the king may be cured.

crazy--

Even if people say that, it is helpless.

After all, the behavior of the king looks like he has lost his mind.

Ⅵ ceremony

Last night as a human.

Dreamed of the black beast again.

Sae Sa already understood what this beast was. ——It is King Luo Gang.

As usual, the beast narrowed the distance with Sae Sha with swift movements.

The moment the sharp claws swung down, Sae Sha smiled sweetly.

"Farewell, my love."

Did I call you here, or did you change your appearance and sneak into my dreams?

I, who became an obstacle to state affairs, will separate myself from you with a ritual and disappear into the depths of the Great Temple.

Even though my wish to see you again cannot come true, Sae Sae will still pray for your happiness.

I pray that the princess who is about to become a princess can give birth to an heir for the king.

Hope that the future that Xing saw foresaw can be subverted, and the blood of King Luo Gang can last forever.

The next morning, after dressing up and walking out of the room, I saw the oldest elder, all the elders, and the doctor waiting outside the door.

How long ago have they been standing here?

Could it be that he was waiting when it was still dark?

"Master Sasha."

The eldest was pale.

Sensing what he was going to say, Sae Sa interrupted without hesitation.

"No, please don't stop me."

The eldest elder looked at a loss and shook his head frequently.

"But... I haven't heard anything. I didn't know until this morning when the doctor arrived on a flying dragon..."

I'm really sorry about that, Saeya thought.However, considering the evolution of things so far, it is very likely that the Elder Council will prevent the ceremony.

"Saesa-sama, the ceremony cannot be performed without the king's permission. The costumes for the ceremony and the procedures for the enthronement ceremony have not been prepared yet. Could you please wait a little longer?"

Sasuke lifted the corner of her mouth slightly.

"No matter how much you wait...that day will never come. Everyone knows that."

All the people present were silent.

"Let's do the surgery first. Then..."

Even the king could not refuse Saesa to become the Holy Rainbow Messenger.

And, today is the best day.The king should put all his heart on the married princess - if he misses today, he will never have another chance, so the ceremony must be held today.

"I have caused trouble for everyone because of my impulsive thoughts."

Sae Sha bowed deeply and took a step forward.The oldest voice came behind him.

"Lord Xisha, there is only one thing, this old man must ask... about this matter, have you contacted King Luo Gang?"

Sasuke turned her head and smiled.

"Yes. Now, Knight Commander Yongkun should report."

After the ceremony of marrying Princess Meiyou is over, please hand it over to the king as if nothing had happened—after Saesha finished explaining at that time, hand over the letter with Saesa’s simple blessing on it to Yongjun.

His Majesty King Luo Gang

Hearty congratulations on your wedding.To this alone I offer my eternal allegiance.

Holy Rainbow Messenger

For the first time, Sae Sa called herself "Holy Rainbow Envoy" in her signature.The king should be able to perceive everything when he reads the contents of the letter.

The king's wedding, Sae Sa's inauguration ceremony, will be officially announced to the outside world afterwards--today is the starting point of everything.

"Is it really possible?"

An operating room has been rushed out of the temple.

The old doctor who was abruptly called to the temple yesterday asked timidly.

"Originally, the inauguration ceremony of Lord Holy Rainbow... should not be performed by me, but should be held more formally by gathering the most skilled doctors in the country, preparing all the props..."

The old doctor, who felt troubled from the bottom of his heart, began to argue eloquently.

"Actually, I have never had this kind of surgery... and I can't use anesthesia... No, no matter what, the last ceremony was performed hundreds of years ago, and there are almost no documents left..."

The operating table at the scene is just a layer of cloth on the bed.And the old doctor didn't say please sit down or lie down.He wanted to wait and see if Xie Sha would change her mood, or if she could call other doctors instead of doing the surgery herself... The old doctor's face was full of such thoughts, without any concealment.

According to records, the enthronement ceremony of the Holy Rainbow Envoy is an important day for the whole country to celebrate. The operation will be held in the temple, and all priests, princes and nobles will attend
