The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]
Chapter 24
Senedi was actually shaken.
Realizing this and accepting this is an extremely difficult and necessary process.
Although the root cause that shakes his heartstrings is not the kid himself, but the god he mentioned——
In the middle of the huge earthquake, Senedi's emotions were surging, thinking uncontrollably, he was shaken?
Has his faith been shaken?
How can it be!
He, Senedi, has served the gods in the temple for more than thirty years. Who can question his reverence for the gods?
Yes, in the heart of the angry Vihir, there is no such thing as incompatibility between power and piety.
He is indeed a very ambitious person, otherwise he would not have continued to plan many ways after losing the position of high priest, and finally ascended to the position of Vihir.
He didn't like the cold and arrogant young high priest, and it was true that he made small moves, but he didn't really attack him.
He likes power and enjoys the pleasure of being superior to others. Even though he has no shortage of wealth for a long time, his desire for another level has not stopped.
Senedi is such a contradictory, but very simple person.
The young high priest's condescending disregard made Vihir almost trembling with anger, and the questioning words of the young man also rekindled his suppressed anger, even far surpassing that just now, almost erupting on the spot.
"High Priest Tahir, can I also ask you a question - in what capacity and what position do you use to question my belief?"
Of course he restrained himself.
Senedi suddenly raised his sleeves, and when everyone in the audience except him was panicking, he was the only one who could stand upright.
The old man's eyes are no longer only cold, but something deeper than that.
He also went straight forward and strode up the steps, but because of his age, his movements seemed a little strenuous.
Even so, Senedi still didn't show any signs of weakness, instead, he was far superior to the young high priest in instantly controlling the momentum of the audience.
Tahir watched Senedi approaching, a trace of unexpected surprise seemed to flash in his eyes.
He really didn't expect Senedi to react like this...
No, what I didn't expect was that Senedi's reaction was completely real, without any pretense.
"I accept any accusations from the High Priest who has obtained the will of the gods. If there is a mistake in the result of the trial, the mistake must be my fault."
Senedi said, crushing the wavering in his heart to death, and said loudly: "Let's start the sentence again, if I committed the crime of deceiving the gods, I must be the one who is sentenced! "
Vihir's voice is majestic, bright and powerful.
If it is a really guilty person, it is impossible to have such a performance.
That's why Tahir was puzzled.
In his view, Senedi had indeed betrayed his beliefs, so how could he have no sense of guilt.
As everyone knows, in fact, apart from Senedi's own views which have always run counter to him, there is also the complexity of human hearts.
There may still be a crack in Senedi's heart that cannot be erased.
He believed that he was not wrong, but inexplicably remembered the whole process of handling this case yesterday, and his heart was still unsettled.
The deepest impression left by the whole incident on Senedi was that the two poor people still did not plead guilty after several days of torture.
After becoming Vihir, there were not many cases requiring Senedi to personally preside over them, but it was the first time that such a case was delayed for so many days, and it even became more and more troublesome.
After many investigations, people related to the man and woman said that they saw them enter the same room that day, coupled with the testimony of their husband and wife, this case has no second result in Senedi’s view. .
He still has a lot of things to deal with, and he doesn't have the time to continue pestering on small things.
In addition, if the pharaoh learned of the inefficiency of his court process not long after he took office, it would also have a great impact on him.
So, Senedi's patience gradually ran out.
Soon some of his subordinates saw his impatience and proposed to directly ask the oracle for a judgment.
The way of the oracle judgment, on the surface, of course, is that Vihir, who is also a priest, petitions the gods in order to obtain the most fair judgment result.
But, ironically, true "oracles" hardly ever existed.
Senedi only actually received an oracle on that day eight years ago, the content of which was to designate Tahir, who was not even a priest at the time, as the new high priest.
The miracle that only happens once in a lifetime has nothing to do with him, and this is where Senedi's faint jealousy and jealousy towards the boy came from.
The oracle judgment in the court is more of the secret manipulation of the priest. By virtue of the law, who is a sinner can be appointed by people at will.
Senedi hadn't gone as far as Tahir had seen, prescribing the fate of an innocent man.
Because he had only just become Vihir.
In addition, Senedi believed that he was not wrong, but his mind was difficult to calm down.
Never showing timidity in front of arrogant juniors, and his determination not to allow anyone to question his beliefs, made Vihir, who was already a little restless, act impulsively.
—Even though, he might regret it soon.
No matter so much, Senedi proudly looked at the young high priest in front of him.
It's a bit unexpected.
On Tahir's face, the self-confidence or pride of a winner did not appear, but it also did not appear the cold indifference that he thought there would be, this young man held all the time.
He looked at him suspiciously for a moment.
Then, both of them looked away blankly at the same time.
"I am puzzled by your behavior, Lord Senedi."
"Are you trying to point out that my choice is wrong, Lord Tahir?"
When they were in the wrong body, they had a final exchange with a very low volume.
"Yes, you have clearly noticed where the loophole is, but you still refuse to admit it directly."
"Sometimes, your pride can become an all-powerful weapon you carry."
Senedi suddenly said inexplicably.
"But sometimes, it will also pierce yourself while piercing the enemy. Lord Tahir, once you do many things, you can't regret it. You can only choose to go on forever."
After finishing speaking, the old man passed him and stepped into the court with his head held high.
Senedi seemed to be targeting him, but it didn't seem to be him.
Tahir was silent for a moment, his eyes showed the same firmness as Visir who was one step ahead, or even better.
He also walked into court.
The "sinner" who had already been sentenced to death followed closely behind, and the scribe sitting in the corner was ready to use his pen to record the whole process of this amazing reversal.
Everyone thought that the trial was about to start now.
But unexpectedly, there were two other people who were brought in at the end.
They are also a man and a woman. It just so happens that they are the husband and wife of men and women who have been wronged for no reason in the hall.
The two of them obviously didn't expect that the seemingly doomed happy ending could be overthrown by now, and they were panic-stricken as if they were going to faint in the next moment.
When they were pressed into the middle of the court, the two people still looked away, trying to make another sophistry.
But the High Priest's eyes didn't seem to contain any emotion, but in this indifference, he showed a pressure that was enough to make the selfish people terrified.
"My lord, we don't know anything, we don't know..."
"I've already said that under the watchful eye of God, lies are not allowed."
The last straw fell.
There is no need for him to interrogate him afterwards.
The voice of the blond high priest was like thunder, and behind him was the majestic statue of the Lady Justice.
The despicable men and women who had no merit other than their acting skills were suddenly terrified, and under the sad and indignant eyes of the innocent, they stammered and confide the truth of the story.
It turned out that they were the ones who really betrayed the marriage.
The two had long conspired to commit adultery, and they were unwilling to divide the property and divorce their wives or husbands, so they simply came up with vicious methods of framing the person next to them.
have nothing to say.
The ins and outs are as simple as that.
Tahir saw a glaring red line that seemed to be flowing slowly from the panic-stricken men and women who were crying, and the picture closely connected with this incident had already flashed before his eyes.
"There is no need to consult the oracle any more."
From the beginning to the end, Tahir had no real intention of making another oracle judgment.
This is the only thing he really wants to do.
Senedi is bound to fail.
No, it does not refer to his failure to "fail to understand the true meaning of the gods correctly" after hearing the truth clearly.
But after he realized that he had been deceived by such a superficial, superficial trick that made people laugh——
【For the convenience of a moment, hastily put one's will above the gods one believes in, what contempt and arrogance this is. 】
What Senedi really came to realize was actually this.
He didn't need others to point it out, he cleared his mind in an instant and realized all his "mistakes".
Putting yourself above God is a very dangerous sign.
Even if it is not intentional at this moment, what about the future?Once he crossed the clear boundaries of a certain system, there was only one end for him.
What he suddenly realized was more than that.
Master Vihir, who thought his impression of this "little matter" was limited to this, remembered, although there were only a few details.
During the trial, which took too long, the innocent pair, as they were being whipped, cried out to him in the most mournful voice for help.
In the decades of being a priest, Senedi has heard the prayers of countless people and the flattery of countless people.
Only this voice made him dismissive at first, because he thought he had grasped the truth.
But the truth slapped him hard.
At this point, it is already too late to realize that the subordinates have concealed something from themselves, or that they did not investigate thoroughly.
Senedi really understood.
In the first head-to-head confrontation with the young high priest, he was the loser.
Lost in such a small detail.
It's just a detail that I wouldn't have noticed——
"..."
"..."
"I see."
An old voice slowly echoed in the center of the court.
It was less of the loudness of the past, and in the exhaustion that finally appeared after a long silence, there was a hint of giving up and a hint of unwillingness.
"I still want to know who is the person who changed you."
"This is related to..."
"Oh, I've seen it."
Senedi looked far away, not paying any attention to the farce that was still going on in the courtroom.
He saw, outside the courtroom, another boy standing with Moses who had brought the real sinner.
That is the rising sun.
If that young man is the sun full of vigor, then the young high priest beside him is the moon that complements him——
It seems that the future of this country can already be glimpsed.
but.
It is absolutely impossible for Senedi, who wants to let the power go to the opposition, to give up completely, at least for now.
The difficult challenges that the young prince and the young high priest have to face have just begun!
……
……
Tahir saw the red line again.
When he got the revelation about the future a month ago, he discovered that there was a long line with faint colors, coherently passing through several blurred pictures that flashed before his eyes.
He didn't know what the red line represented then, but he does now.
"..."
"Is it resentment? No...that's it, ah."
It's all settled.
Tahir has no time to be happy about this success.
He was originally sitting at the front of the court, but now he stood up slowly.
What Senedi who was still beside him said, although it wasn't intentional, he really didn't hear clearly.
As far as the eyes can see, the man and woman who were still turning around just a moment ago.
The men and women received the help of the high priest first, miraculously healed most of their injuries, and now they have been cleared of their injustices. One can imagine how they feel.
"My lord, my lord! Thank you... Thank you, the omniscient God..."
They knelt down, put their heads on the ground, and prayed incessantly.
At this moment, the red thread that seemed to lock this "future" appeared out of thin air, but it was no longer entangled, but lightly separated from the bodies of the two people.
Tahir saw it for the first time, that day a month ago.Now that it reappeared, it seemed that the "future" had completely changed at this moment.
Somehow the truncated lines floated towards the high priest standing quietly.
Taher's blue eyes reflected crimson, and this color and aura seemed ominous.
However, he did not resist the approach of the red line, but waited calmly as usual until the red color entered his calm pupils.
— cracked.
The young high priest's thoughts were silently but abruptly interrupted when the red glow entered, and only a crisp sound like a cracking silk sounded in his ears.
"……hiss."
Tahir's brows furrowed invisibly, and his eyeballs got a very brief sting.
At first it was fine, the pain was totally tolerable.
But it was only for a moment, and the new pain was born out of thin air.
This time it didn't just come from the eyeballs, it seemed to sink into a deeper place in an instant, so that for a moment, the whole body seemed to be immersed in extremely cold ice water...
It quickly subsided like an ebb tide.
The spirit is still a little... in a trance.
There should be no abnormality on the surface, Tahir's eyes are still open as usual, and his expression has not changed.
But at this moment, he thought that the very brief cold had passed, and he was about to calm down and walked out of the court.
"—"
Senedi, who had already been declared a failure, seemed to have said something.
Tahir noticed something, and turned around halfway.
Suddenly, he couldn't move anymore.
When the movement was frozen, the boy's blond hair, as soft as the finest satin, swayed behind him in an arc, and an inexplicable wind seemed to blow from the direction of the statue, blowing in front of the boy who was standing stiffly, and even intensified suddenly!
For the other people present at the same time, it was just a strange wind, blowing the hem of the clothes and hair high.
However, it's an illusion... No, it's what his eyes really "see"!
Under the gust of wind, time seemed to freeze, and the blond high priest stood still, with a strange change in his expression.
He saw it again, the red silk thread.
It was the same kind of red thread that emerged from the men and women who had been cleared of their grievances just now, but what he saw at this time—the silk thread that appeared from the direction of Senedi, which made him startled, was fundamentally different. .
Tahir's field of vision was almost filled with dazzling bright red.
Countless long lines gathered together, so much red, it was as gorgeous as a sea of blood that had been accumulated for some time.
These silk threads filled the ceiling of the room, and then slowly fell silently.
They're falling, from the top of everyone's head.
Tahir had never seen such a horrific sight.
Or maybe he actually saw it, but it disappeared because of those unimaginable and unreal scenes-no impression remained, and he forgot them all.
"This is……"
Tahir murmured.
Ever since Master Mejed came to his side, and the gem given by Ramses hung in front of him, he hadn't felt an emotion similar to "fear" for a long, long time.
Now, the most recent one was born at this time.
The long red line fell silently, devouring the surrounding light, and even the ground under the feet was painted red like blood.
It's like being alive.
The target of "they" after falling, the center of the place where they will reunite, is where the blond-haired high priest is.
Tahir sensed it.
A great darkness is about to fall, and it must be the biggest shadow he can see!
——You should run away, this is not something a mortal body can bear【】.
Very vaguely, there seemed to be such a voice in his ears, reminding him.
Tahir wanted to answer, but his body was out of control.
Just like the previous moment, he just waited blankly.
Waiting for the inextricable clues of 【 】to transform into a distorted giant snake, swallowing poisonous gas and snake letters, and pounced on him together with the darkness——
……
……
"—Tahir? Wake up, wake up."
"..."
"Tahir!"
"…………what!"
After being dazed for an unknown amount of time, Tahir finally woke up.
His eyelids were wet with sweat, and the weight alone made it difficult for him to open his eyes, but in the end he opened them smoothly.
He could barely make out that what caught his eyes was the face of a young man full of anxiety.
It's Ramses.
Know it even if you can't see it clearly.Just by the sound, he recognized him.
but.
"how do I……"
"Are you too tired? I saw you standing staggeringly, and your face was not very good, so I took you here to rest."
Ramses spoke first, with a surprised tone.
Tahir's voice was interrupted, and his thoughts were temporarily suspended.
Yes, he had noticed, he was lying on the bed, and Ramses was sitting beside his bed.
But the words he heard in his ears were beyond his expectation.
Tahir thought, wasn't he engulfed by those red lines and the darkness spreading from the ground?
Why, I will appear here now.
The picture that catches the eye is real.
It is also real that the bones of the whole body are frozen.
He should obviously be struggling in the frightening pitch-black cold wave, with no way out.
Lonely, cold, dark, these familiar things, these things feel so familiar——
"Nothing happened."
Ramses' voice sounded forcefully again, as if he was trying to drag the obviously cranky boy out of the lingering power of fear. He deliberately emphasized his tone: "You are just having a nightmare."
"...is it just a dream?"
"Of course, I saw it, don't you believe me!"
Ramses actually saw nothing.
Tahir said nothing to let him come forward and get involved in this matter. The prince felt that this matter was so serious, but he had no choice but to hide outside the door aggrievedly and try his best to peek.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was distracted by the reversal of the case, he climbed over the high wall outside the court, and quietly followed Moses to the end of the crowd.
It's a pity that the little priest's majesty and prestige was not clearly seen.
The little priest defeated Senedi very simply, but he still didn't see clearly, what a pity to the bone.
Well, the only thing that was not a pity was that he jumped up at the end when the crowd was about to disperse, and saw the blond boy precariously standing on the steps in one fell swoop.
Ramses rushed up without hesitation and caught the boy who was about to fall down the steps.What happened after that was what he said to Tahir.
He thought that Tahir just kept his spirits up and busy for a while, and he fainted because he was too tired.
But now it seems that it is not.
The prince frowned slightly, the words of inquiry reached his lips, and he swallowed them again.
Just look at Tahir's reaction. Even if he wants to know what happened again, talking more at this time will only stimulate the spirit of the little priest, so it's better not to talk too much.
"With me here, what are you afraid of!"
Speaking so confidently, the prince vaguely felt the weight on his head lighten a little.He didn't know that a god jumped off his head and ran to the blond boy, so he didn't pay attention at all.
"You didn't see..." Tahir said halfway, and retracted the rest of the text.
He finally regained his sanity that seemed to have lost most of it, and remembered that only he could see the glaring red line, even Ramses couldn't see it.
It's like Ramses can't see Mr. Mejed.
"Why don't you talk anymore, are you too scared by the nightmare?"
"No."
Tahir thought, that was not a dream.
Beads of wet sweat slid over the white jade-like skin of the young man's forehead, and sank into his slightly messy blond hair.
His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of light fog, reflecting an invisible color.
Recalling the strange scene I saw at that time, perhaps that was the price of reversing the cause and effect of "betrayal" and changing the fate of countless people.
This is also God's warning to him.
Tahir also remembered the last words Senedi said to him.
— Wait until later to think about today, and you will regret it.
Still a warning to him.
Senedi didn't know more about the truth, but the words "regret" fell into the heart of the young high priest, which set off another deeper wave.
'Regret... do you? '
'Indeed, I never thought about the consequences of changing the future without authorization. '
The most unbearable pain.
The darkest fear.
The most disgusting loneliness.
These are all "fears" that he has experienced before and thought he would never come back.
Now, they are back because of the determination to "do something".
Tahir had reason to be angry, even resentful.
All the "changes" have nothing to do with him, will not do him any good, but will lead him to an ending that is somehow unimaginable.
Whether it is power, money or the name of vanity, he doesn't like them all, he is not someone who will change himself for anyone——
……yes.
All these efforts over the years were not for himself.
"..."
"For the last time, let me justifiably blame you once."
"what?"
Hearing this, Ramses, who was in a daze, came back to his senses, wondering why he had provoked the little priest again.
He secretly just now - no!Be aboveboard! —— grabbed the right hand of the little priest resting on the bedside, and looked it up in front of his eyes.
The little priest was really weird today. On the surface, there was nothing wrong, but his fingernails were subconsciously digging at the wood under the bed, making them red.
The prince decided to kindly rub the hands of this "friend" who had been stupid for more than ten years. After rubbing, he heard the above words.
"I didn't use much force."
Ramses felt that he had been wronged extremely, but he was not angry if he wanted to say that he was angry because of a sentence as he was when he was a child.
Because, he immediately saw the expression of the little priest at this time.
very light.
Although there was only a slight arc, the blond boy turned his head away from Ramses, and the corners of his slightly white lips seemed to rise a little.
He smiled.
At that moment, Ramses, who had secretly despised the love poems written by his namesake many times, unexpectedly had similar words and sentences in his mind.
The young man in front of him is like the legendary flower of Gaoling that will bloom in the distance.
It is far away from the noise, always arrogant, not watered by others, and thorns are its hardest weapon.
When forced to come to the city, everyone will be crazy about it, but it dismisses it, allowing everyone to prostrate in front of its flowers and leaves.
Proud flower of beauty, only reveals its softness to a lucky man.
——At this time.
Ramses seemed to see the dew falling from the edge of the petals.
Ah, it turned out to be tears.
He doesn't understand.
I don't understand why Tahir showed a shallow smile, that smile didn't seem fake.
I don't understand why Tahir shed tears again, the tears and the sweat from not long ago sank into the wet blond hair.
For a moment, Ramses mistakenly thought that the tears he saw were actually the color of blood.
He just wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears for the boy.
"do not Cry……"
"Who is crying? Are you tired too, Ramses."
"Tsk—it's okay to admit that I'm crying, it's just you, always stubborn! Hey, Tahir, don't you..."
"You can guess, it's normal if you can't guess, after all, you are a foolish prince."
"What! I'm not a foolish prince!"
"Yes."
Tahir said softly, "You won't always be a foolish prince."
"Just try harder...stupid."
"Idiot, idiot, idiot... lah..."
As if unconsciously chanting, his eyelids slowly drooped, and Tahir fell into a deep sleep again.
When he fell asleep, he seemed to be chanting a certain name.
Ramses stared blankly at the sleeping blond boy.
Tahir's last murmur, he heard.
The voice was too soft, yet inexplicably heavy.
*****
A rather unusual case has come to an end, and many people have been affected by it, but it is extremely insignificant when viewed from the perspective of the entire country.
Vihir's underlings who secretly tampered with the results of the oracle's judgment were severely punished, and the dignified Vihir himself received the fury of Pharaoh's thunder and was reprimanded and warned a lot.
Senedi had been promoted to the position of Vihir in such a short time, and he was unlucky to encounter such a thing.
Although Fa Lao treated him kindly and did not directly take back his position, it also made Senedi lose face firmly and was laughed secretly by many insiders.
Overall, Senedi won't lose ground, but it's true that he'll get a cold shoulder for a while.
Looking at the whole process, the winner who gets the greatest return with the least effort should be the "one" who usually can't see that he will use this move himself.
Don't ask who "that one" is.
The high priest of the Sun Temple used to give people the impression of being low-key and indifferent to world affairs. No one thought that he would calmly embarrass Lord Senedi who had been arrogant for so many years.
All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent in the court hall, and all the adults with keen senses were thinking whether the high priest was not an ordinary person, and whether he would follow the old path of Senedi in the future.
Even Pharaoh Seti, who is the master of the dynasty, couldn't help thinking about it after hearing about it.
His proud son, Ramses, was just returning to the palace at this time, and Seti asked him to come over. After chatting for a while, he asked the prince what he thought of the high priest with some curiosity.
Seti still remembers that Ramses had contact with Tahir when he was a child.
At that time, the high priest had not yet gained a firm foothold, and many people whispered something in his ears.
For example, the high priest is too arrogant, this is the case at a young age, and I am afraid that he will be even more unreasonable in the future.
Another example is that when the high priest was in the temple, he came into contact with His Royal Highness Prince Ramses, and there seemed to be a gap between the two...
In these eight years, Seti has not heard less of these words.
But it can be seen from the pharaoh's good attitude towards the young high priest that Seti never really listened to these words.
Pharaoh knew what jealousy was, and he saw that child Tahir clearly.
The young High Priest was indeed extremely intelligent, but if he were to say how scheming he was, he was not at all.
Seti could tell that the boy's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he didn't understand some things, but he just didn't bother to argue about them.
When it comes to arrogance, he is definitely right.
However, if you want to grasp the young man's arrogance to talk to Pharaoh, it will obviously backfire.
The noble pharaoh never took this to heart from the beginning to the end.
In his opinion, Tahir is a high priest favored by the gods, born to be superior to others, and worthy of his special respect.
Seti will never forget the oracle he received that night.
The god Ra entered his dream in person, and the divine appearance of the king of the gods was so radiant that Seti could not doubt that this was the presence of the gods.
Seti only revealed half of the content of the oracle.
The divine master, whose majesty cannot be seen directly, told him that the young man got a glimpse of the future by chance, and would help his son in the future, becoming the king of kings who would achieve unprecedented achievements.
Seti felt pleasantly surprised after being panicked, and would not feel displeased that he would be overwhelmed by his descendants.
At first, he thought that the future king whom Ra was referring to was his eldest son, but soon realized that what Ra was really referring to was his second son, Ramses.
Ramses and Tahir are actually good friends, which Seti also knows.
The pharaoh has been observing and will not interfere with the outside world.
He has always watched the growth of Ramses. At this moment, Tahir, who has always been calm, finally showed his strong side. Pharaoh can only feel relieved.
——But others probably don't think so.
Coincidentally, Ramses, who was summoned by his father, was one of them.
When the prince walked on the road, he felt nervous, even more nervous than when he first went to war when he was ten years old.
He thought that after his father found out that Tahir had suppressed Senedi in one fell swoop, he would be displeased with the little priest who was showing off his limelight, otherwise why did he come to call for him as soon as he returned to the palace?
His fists clenched involuntarily.
Ramses' expression at this moment was surprisingly serious, and because he walked too fast, he seemed to be flying, which caused wind under his feet.
When rushing into the inner hall where the Pharaoh was, without using wings, he was really carried by the wind that he rushed out--just flew directly in front of his father.
"Father! Tahir did nothing wrong!"
Crackling, crackling, a lot of explanations were thrown out, and the explanations were all logical and logical.
Pharaoh didn't speak, but he was surprised to hear it.
The logic of Ramses is so clear, I am afraid that he has already thought about how to defend his friend in front of him, and by the way, he stepped on Vihir who is not pleasing to the eye.
Seeing this scene clearly, Pharaoh knew in his heart that the relationship between the two children would only be better than before, and the connection would only be closer than before. He was very relieved.
only--
Don't worry, don't worry.
Seeing the tense appearance of his son who had never been so excited in front of him since he was a few years old, Seti felt a little amused, so he couldn't play anymore, and planned to tease Ramses.
"The high priest's action yesterday was indeed a little over the line. Many officials have already advised me. Ramses, I thought that you were in such a hurry to plead for him?"
"Tahir is not wrong at all, what crime do I ask, as long as you don't misunderstand, father, it will be fine!"
Seti continued: "Then if the outside pressure is too great, I have to punish him?"
His original intention was just to test Ramses' thoughts, but he didn't expect that after this attempt, he tried an answer that made Pharaoh stunned.
"I believe in the wisdom of my father. You will not punish the true believers who protect the glory of the gods because of the gossip of those ignorant people. What's more, why is Tahir wrong? If, if you really want to punish..."
"No matter what, I will protect him."
Ramses said firmly.
When he said this, the young prince didn't think about himself, let alone hesitate.
The author has something to say: v!Thank you guys for your support! ! ! !Send red envelopes to the first [-] comments
The last chapter seems to be a bit skipped [Being beaten] I mainly want to pave the way for Tahir's mood first. In this chapter, he made a very important choice, which directly affected the development of the subsequent plot.
What will the future of the prince and the priest be like, please look forward to——
Realizing this and accepting this is an extremely difficult and necessary process.
Although the root cause that shakes his heartstrings is not the kid himself, but the god he mentioned——
In the middle of the huge earthquake, Senedi's emotions were surging, thinking uncontrollably, he was shaken?
Has his faith been shaken?
How can it be!
He, Senedi, has served the gods in the temple for more than thirty years. Who can question his reverence for the gods?
Yes, in the heart of the angry Vihir, there is no such thing as incompatibility between power and piety.
He is indeed a very ambitious person, otherwise he would not have continued to plan many ways after losing the position of high priest, and finally ascended to the position of Vihir.
He didn't like the cold and arrogant young high priest, and it was true that he made small moves, but he didn't really attack him.
He likes power and enjoys the pleasure of being superior to others. Even though he has no shortage of wealth for a long time, his desire for another level has not stopped.
Senedi is such a contradictory, but very simple person.
The young high priest's condescending disregard made Vihir almost trembling with anger, and the questioning words of the young man also rekindled his suppressed anger, even far surpassing that just now, almost erupting on the spot.
"High Priest Tahir, can I also ask you a question - in what capacity and what position do you use to question my belief?"
Of course he restrained himself.
Senedi suddenly raised his sleeves, and when everyone in the audience except him was panicking, he was the only one who could stand upright.
The old man's eyes are no longer only cold, but something deeper than that.
He also went straight forward and strode up the steps, but because of his age, his movements seemed a little strenuous.
Even so, Senedi still didn't show any signs of weakness, instead, he was far superior to the young high priest in instantly controlling the momentum of the audience.
Tahir watched Senedi approaching, a trace of unexpected surprise seemed to flash in his eyes.
He really didn't expect Senedi to react like this...
No, what I didn't expect was that Senedi's reaction was completely real, without any pretense.
"I accept any accusations from the High Priest who has obtained the will of the gods. If there is a mistake in the result of the trial, the mistake must be my fault."
Senedi said, crushing the wavering in his heart to death, and said loudly: "Let's start the sentence again, if I committed the crime of deceiving the gods, I must be the one who is sentenced! "
Vihir's voice is majestic, bright and powerful.
If it is a really guilty person, it is impossible to have such a performance.
That's why Tahir was puzzled.
In his view, Senedi had indeed betrayed his beliefs, so how could he have no sense of guilt.
As everyone knows, in fact, apart from Senedi's own views which have always run counter to him, there is also the complexity of human hearts.
There may still be a crack in Senedi's heart that cannot be erased.
He believed that he was not wrong, but inexplicably remembered the whole process of handling this case yesterday, and his heart was still unsettled.
The deepest impression left by the whole incident on Senedi was that the two poor people still did not plead guilty after several days of torture.
After becoming Vihir, there were not many cases requiring Senedi to personally preside over them, but it was the first time that such a case was delayed for so many days, and it even became more and more troublesome.
After many investigations, people related to the man and woman said that they saw them enter the same room that day, coupled with the testimony of their husband and wife, this case has no second result in Senedi’s view. .
He still has a lot of things to deal with, and he doesn't have the time to continue pestering on small things.
In addition, if the pharaoh learned of the inefficiency of his court process not long after he took office, it would also have a great impact on him.
So, Senedi's patience gradually ran out.
Soon some of his subordinates saw his impatience and proposed to directly ask the oracle for a judgment.
The way of the oracle judgment, on the surface, of course, is that Vihir, who is also a priest, petitions the gods in order to obtain the most fair judgment result.
But, ironically, true "oracles" hardly ever existed.
Senedi only actually received an oracle on that day eight years ago, the content of which was to designate Tahir, who was not even a priest at the time, as the new high priest.
The miracle that only happens once in a lifetime has nothing to do with him, and this is where Senedi's faint jealousy and jealousy towards the boy came from.
The oracle judgment in the court is more of the secret manipulation of the priest. By virtue of the law, who is a sinner can be appointed by people at will.
Senedi hadn't gone as far as Tahir had seen, prescribing the fate of an innocent man.
Because he had only just become Vihir.
In addition, Senedi believed that he was not wrong, but his mind was difficult to calm down.
Never showing timidity in front of arrogant juniors, and his determination not to allow anyone to question his beliefs, made Vihir, who was already a little restless, act impulsively.
—Even though, he might regret it soon.
No matter so much, Senedi proudly looked at the young high priest in front of him.
It's a bit unexpected.
On Tahir's face, the self-confidence or pride of a winner did not appear, but it also did not appear the cold indifference that he thought there would be, this young man held all the time.
He looked at him suspiciously for a moment.
Then, both of them looked away blankly at the same time.
"I am puzzled by your behavior, Lord Senedi."
"Are you trying to point out that my choice is wrong, Lord Tahir?"
When they were in the wrong body, they had a final exchange with a very low volume.
"Yes, you have clearly noticed where the loophole is, but you still refuse to admit it directly."
"Sometimes, your pride can become an all-powerful weapon you carry."
Senedi suddenly said inexplicably.
"But sometimes, it will also pierce yourself while piercing the enemy. Lord Tahir, once you do many things, you can't regret it. You can only choose to go on forever."
After finishing speaking, the old man passed him and stepped into the court with his head held high.
Senedi seemed to be targeting him, but it didn't seem to be him.
Tahir was silent for a moment, his eyes showed the same firmness as Visir who was one step ahead, or even better.
He also walked into court.
The "sinner" who had already been sentenced to death followed closely behind, and the scribe sitting in the corner was ready to use his pen to record the whole process of this amazing reversal.
Everyone thought that the trial was about to start now.
But unexpectedly, there were two other people who were brought in at the end.
They are also a man and a woman. It just so happens that they are the husband and wife of men and women who have been wronged for no reason in the hall.
The two of them obviously didn't expect that the seemingly doomed happy ending could be overthrown by now, and they were panic-stricken as if they were going to faint in the next moment.
When they were pressed into the middle of the court, the two people still looked away, trying to make another sophistry.
But the High Priest's eyes didn't seem to contain any emotion, but in this indifference, he showed a pressure that was enough to make the selfish people terrified.
"My lord, we don't know anything, we don't know..."
"I've already said that under the watchful eye of God, lies are not allowed."
The last straw fell.
There is no need for him to interrogate him afterwards.
The voice of the blond high priest was like thunder, and behind him was the majestic statue of the Lady Justice.
The despicable men and women who had no merit other than their acting skills were suddenly terrified, and under the sad and indignant eyes of the innocent, they stammered and confide the truth of the story.
It turned out that they were the ones who really betrayed the marriage.
The two had long conspired to commit adultery, and they were unwilling to divide the property and divorce their wives or husbands, so they simply came up with vicious methods of framing the person next to them.
have nothing to say.
The ins and outs are as simple as that.
Tahir saw a glaring red line that seemed to be flowing slowly from the panic-stricken men and women who were crying, and the picture closely connected with this incident had already flashed before his eyes.
"There is no need to consult the oracle any more."
From the beginning to the end, Tahir had no real intention of making another oracle judgment.
This is the only thing he really wants to do.
Senedi is bound to fail.
No, it does not refer to his failure to "fail to understand the true meaning of the gods correctly" after hearing the truth clearly.
But after he realized that he had been deceived by such a superficial, superficial trick that made people laugh——
【For the convenience of a moment, hastily put one's will above the gods one believes in, what contempt and arrogance this is. 】
What Senedi really came to realize was actually this.
He didn't need others to point it out, he cleared his mind in an instant and realized all his "mistakes".
Putting yourself above God is a very dangerous sign.
Even if it is not intentional at this moment, what about the future?Once he crossed the clear boundaries of a certain system, there was only one end for him.
What he suddenly realized was more than that.
Master Vihir, who thought his impression of this "little matter" was limited to this, remembered, although there were only a few details.
During the trial, which took too long, the innocent pair, as they were being whipped, cried out to him in the most mournful voice for help.
In the decades of being a priest, Senedi has heard the prayers of countless people and the flattery of countless people.
Only this voice made him dismissive at first, because he thought he had grasped the truth.
But the truth slapped him hard.
At this point, it is already too late to realize that the subordinates have concealed something from themselves, or that they did not investigate thoroughly.
Senedi really understood.
In the first head-to-head confrontation with the young high priest, he was the loser.
Lost in such a small detail.
It's just a detail that I wouldn't have noticed——
"..."
"..."
"I see."
An old voice slowly echoed in the center of the court.
It was less of the loudness of the past, and in the exhaustion that finally appeared after a long silence, there was a hint of giving up and a hint of unwillingness.
"I still want to know who is the person who changed you."
"This is related to..."
"Oh, I've seen it."
Senedi looked far away, not paying any attention to the farce that was still going on in the courtroom.
He saw, outside the courtroom, another boy standing with Moses who had brought the real sinner.
That is the rising sun.
If that young man is the sun full of vigor, then the young high priest beside him is the moon that complements him——
It seems that the future of this country can already be glimpsed.
but.
It is absolutely impossible for Senedi, who wants to let the power go to the opposition, to give up completely, at least for now.
The difficult challenges that the young prince and the young high priest have to face have just begun!
……
……
Tahir saw the red line again.
When he got the revelation about the future a month ago, he discovered that there was a long line with faint colors, coherently passing through several blurred pictures that flashed before his eyes.
He didn't know what the red line represented then, but he does now.
"..."
"Is it resentment? No...that's it, ah."
It's all settled.
Tahir has no time to be happy about this success.
He was originally sitting at the front of the court, but now he stood up slowly.
What Senedi who was still beside him said, although it wasn't intentional, he really didn't hear clearly.
As far as the eyes can see, the man and woman who were still turning around just a moment ago.
The men and women received the help of the high priest first, miraculously healed most of their injuries, and now they have been cleared of their injustices. One can imagine how they feel.
"My lord, my lord! Thank you... Thank you, the omniscient God..."
They knelt down, put their heads on the ground, and prayed incessantly.
At this moment, the red thread that seemed to lock this "future" appeared out of thin air, but it was no longer entangled, but lightly separated from the bodies of the two people.
Tahir saw it for the first time, that day a month ago.Now that it reappeared, it seemed that the "future" had completely changed at this moment.
Somehow the truncated lines floated towards the high priest standing quietly.
Taher's blue eyes reflected crimson, and this color and aura seemed ominous.
However, he did not resist the approach of the red line, but waited calmly as usual until the red color entered his calm pupils.
— cracked.
The young high priest's thoughts were silently but abruptly interrupted when the red glow entered, and only a crisp sound like a cracking silk sounded in his ears.
"……hiss."
Tahir's brows furrowed invisibly, and his eyeballs got a very brief sting.
At first it was fine, the pain was totally tolerable.
But it was only for a moment, and the new pain was born out of thin air.
This time it didn't just come from the eyeballs, it seemed to sink into a deeper place in an instant, so that for a moment, the whole body seemed to be immersed in extremely cold ice water...
It quickly subsided like an ebb tide.
The spirit is still a little... in a trance.
There should be no abnormality on the surface, Tahir's eyes are still open as usual, and his expression has not changed.
But at this moment, he thought that the very brief cold had passed, and he was about to calm down and walked out of the court.
"—"
Senedi, who had already been declared a failure, seemed to have said something.
Tahir noticed something, and turned around halfway.
Suddenly, he couldn't move anymore.
When the movement was frozen, the boy's blond hair, as soft as the finest satin, swayed behind him in an arc, and an inexplicable wind seemed to blow from the direction of the statue, blowing in front of the boy who was standing stiffly, and even intensified suddenly!
For the other people present at the same time, it was just a strange wind, blowing the hem of the clothes and hair high.
However, it's an illusion... No, it's what his eyes really "see"!
Under the gust of wind, time seemed to freeze, and the blond high priest stood still, with a strange change in his expression.
He saw it again, the red silk thread.
It was the same kind of red thread that emerged from the men and women who had been cleared of their grievances just now, but what he saw at this time—the silk thread that appeared from the direction of Senedi, which made him startled, was fundamentally different. .
Tahir's field of vision was almost filled with dazzling bright red.
Countless long lines gathered together, so much red, it was as gorgeous as a sea of blood that had been accumulated for some time.
These silk threads filled the ceiling of the room, and then slowly fell silently.
They're falling, from the top of everyone's head.
Tahir had never seen such a horrific sight.
Or maybe he actually saw it, but it disappeared because of those unimaginable and unreal scenes-no impression remained, and he forgot them all.
"This is……"
Tahir murmured.
Ever since Master Mejed came to his side, and the gem given by Ramses hung in front of him, he hadn't felt an emotion similar to "fear" for a long, long time.
Now, the most recent one was born at this time.
The long red line fell silently, devouring the surrounding light, and even the ground under the feet was painted red like blood.
It's like being alive.
The target of "they" after falling, the center of the place where they will reunite, is where the blond-haired high priest is.
Tahir sensed it.
A great darkness is about to fall, and it must be the biggest shadow he can see!
——You should run away, this is not something a mortal body can bear【】.
Very vaguely, there seemed to be such a voice in his ears, reminding him.
Tahir wanted to answer, but his body was out of control.
Just like the previous moment, he just waited blankly.
Waiting for the inextricable clues of 【 】to transform into a distorted giant snake, swallowing poisonous gas and snake letters, and pounced on him together with the darkness——
……
……
"—Tahir? Wake up, wake up."
"..."
"Tahir!"
"…………what!"
After being dazed for an unknown amount of time, Tahir finally woke up.
His eyelids were wet with sweat, and the weight alone made it difficult for him to open his eyes, but in the end he opened them smoothly.
He could barely make out that what caught his eyes was the face of a young man full of anxiety.
It's Ramses.
Know it even if you can't see it clearly.Just by the sound, he recognized him.
but.
"how do I……"
"Are you too tired? I saw you standing staggeringly, and your face was not very good, so I took you here to rest."
Ramses spoke first, with a surprised tone.
Tahir's voice was interrupted, and his thoughts were temporarily suspended.
Yes, he had noticed, he was lying on the bed, and Ramses was sitting beside his bed.
But the words he heard in his ears were beyond his expectation.
Tahir thought, wasn't he engulfed by those red lines and the darkness spreading from the ground?
Why, I will appear here now.
The picture that catches the eye is real.
It is also real that the bones of the whole body are frozen.
He should obviously be struggling in the frightening pitch-black cold wave, with no way out.
Lonely, cold, dark, these familiar things, these things feel so familiar——
"Nothing happened."
Ramses' voice sounded forcefully again, as if he was trying to drag the obviously cranky boy out of the lingering power of fear. He deliberately emphasized his tone: "You are just having a nightmare."
"...is it just a dream?"
"Of course, I saw it, don't you believe me!"
Ramses actually saw nothing.
Tahir said nothing to let him come forward and get involved in this matter. The prince felt that this matter was so serious, but he had no choice but to hide outside the door aggrievedly and try his best to peek.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was distracted by the reversal of the case, he climbed over the high wall outside the court, and quietly followed Moses to the end of the crowd.
It's a pity that the little priest's majesty and prestige was not clearly seen.
The little priest defeated Senedi very simply, but he still didn't see clearly, what a pity to the bone.
Well, the only thing that was not a pity was that he jumped up at the end when the crowd was about to disperse, and saw the blond boy precariously standing on the steps in one fell swoop.
Ramses rushed up without hesitation and caught the boy who was about to fall down the steps.What happened after that was what he said to Tahir.
He thought that Tahir just kept his spirits up and busy for a while, and he fainted because he was too tired.
But now it seems that it is not.
The prince frowned slightly, the words of inquiry reached his lips, and he swallowed them again.
Just look at Tahir's reaction. Even if he wants to know what happened again, talking more at this time will only stimulate the spirit of the little priest, so it's better not to talk too much.
"With me here, what are you afraid of!"
Speaking so confidently, the prince vaguely felt the weight on his head lighten a little.He didn't know that a god jumped off his head and ran to the blond boy, so he didn't pay attention at all.
"You didn't see..." Tahir said halfway, and retracted the rest of the text.
He finally regained his sanity that seemed to have lost most of it, and remembered that only he could see the glaring red line, even Ramses couldn't see it.
It's like Ramses can't see Mr. Mejed.
"Why don't you talk anymore, are you too scared by the nightmare?"
"No."
Tahir thought, that was not a dream.
Beads of wet sweat slid over the white jade-like skin of the young man's forehead, and sank into his slightly messy blond hair.
His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of light fog, reflecting an invisible color.
Recalling the strange scene I saw at that time, perhaps that was the price of reversing the cause and effect of "betrayal" and changing the fate of countless people.
This is also God's warning to him.
Tahir also remembered the last words Senedi said to him.
— Wait until later to think about today, and you will regret it.
Still a warning to him.
Senedi didn't know more about the truth, but the words "regret" fell into the heart of the young high priest, which set off another deeper wave.
'Regret... do you? '
'Indeed, I never thought about the consequences of changing the future without authorization. '
The most unbearable pain.
The darkest fear.
The most disgusting loneliness.
These are all "fears" that he has experienced before and thought he would never come back.
Now, they are back because of the determination to "do something".
Tahir had reason to be angry, even resentful.
All the "changes" have nothing to do with him, will not do him any good, but will lead him to an ending that is somehow unimaginable.
Whether it is power, money or the name of vanity, he doesn't like them all, he is not someone who will change himself for anyone——
……yes.
All these efforts over the years were not for himself.
"..."
"For the last time, let me justifiably blame you once."
"what?"
Hearing this, Ramses, who was in a daze, came back to his senses, wondering why he had provoked the little priest again.
He secretly just now - no!Be aboveboard! —— grabbed the right hand of the little priest resting on the bedside, and looked it up in front of his eyes.
The little priest was really weird today. On the surface, there was nothing wrong, but his fingernails were subconsciously digging at the wood under the bed, making them red.
The prince decided to kindly rub the hands of this "friend" who had been stupid for more than ten years. After rubbing, he heard the above words.
"I didn't use much force."
Ramses felt that he had been wronged extremely, but he was not angry if he wanted to say that he was angry because of a sentence as he was when he was a child.
Because, he immediately saw the expression of the little priest at this time.
very light.
Although there was only a slight arc, the blond boy turned his head away from Ramses, and the corners of his slightly white lips seemed to rise a little.
He smiled.
At that moment, Ramses, who had secretly despised the love poems written by his namesake many times, unexpectedly had similar words and sentences in his mind.
The young man in front of him is like the legendary flower of Gaoling that will bloom in the distance.
It is far away from the noise, always arrogant, not watered by others, and thorns are its hardest weapon.
When forced to come to the city, everyone will be crazy about it, but it dismisses it, allowing everyone to prostrate in front of its flowers and leaves.
Proud flower of beauty, only reveals its softness to a lucky man.
——At this time.
Ramses seemed to see the dew falling from the edge of the petals.
Ah, it turned out to be tears.
He doesn't understand.
I don't understand why Tahir showed a shallow smile, that smile didn't seem fake.
I don't understand why Tahir shed tears again, the tears and the sweat from not long ago sank into the wet blond hair.
For a moment, Ramses mistakenly thought that the tears he saw were actually the color of blood.
He just wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears for the boy.
"do not Cry……"
"Who is crying? Are you tired too, Ramses."
"Tsk—it's okay to admit that I'm crying, it's just you, always stubborn! Hey, Tahir, don't you..."
"You can guess, it's normal if you can't guess, after all, you are a foolish prince."
"What! I'm not a foolish prince!"
"Yes."
Tahir said softly, "You won't always be a foolish prince."
"Just try harder...stupid."
"Idiot, idiot, idiot... lah..."
As if unconsciously chanting, his eyelids slowly drooped, and Tahir fell into a deep sleep again.
When he fell asleep, he seemed to be chanting a certain name.
Ramses stared blankly at the sleeping blond boy.
Tahir's last murmur, he heard.
The voice was too soft, yet inexplicably heavy.
*****
A rather unusual case has come to an end, and many people have been affected by it, but it is extremely insignificant when viewed from the perspective of the entire country.
Vihir's underlings who secretly tampered with the results of the oracle's judgment were severely punished, and the dignified Vihir himself received the fury of Pharaoh's thunder and was reprimanded and warned a lot.
Senedi had been promoted to the position of Vihir in such a short time, and he was unlucky to encounter such a thing.
Although Fa Lao treated him kindly and did not directly take back his position, it also made Senedi lose face firmly and was laughed secretly by many insiders.
Overall, Senedi won't lose ground, but it's true that he'll get a cold shoulder for a while.
Looking at the whole process, the winner who gets the greatest return with the least effort should be the "one" who usually can't see that he will use this move himself.
Don't ask who "that one" is.
The high priest of the Sun Temple used to give people the impression of being low-key and indifferent to world affairs. No one thought that he would calmly embarrass Lord Senedi who had been arrogant for so many years.
All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent in the court hall, and all the adults with keen senses were thinking whether the high priest was not an ordinary person, and whether he would follow the old path of Senedi in the future.
Even Pharaoh Seti, who is the master of the dynasty, couldn't help thinking about it after hearing about it.
His proud son, Ramses, was just returning to the palace at this time, and Seti asked him to come over. After chatting for a while, he asked the prince what he thought of the high priest with some curiosity.
Seti still remembers that Ramses had contact with Tahir when he was a child.
At that time, the high priest had not yet gained a firm foothold, and many people whispered something in his ears.
For example, the high priest is too arrogant, this is the case at a young age, and I am afraid that he will be even more unreasonable in the future.
Another example is that when the high priest was in the temple, he came into contact with His Royal Highness Prince Ramses, and there seemed to be a gap between the two...
In these eight years, Seti has not heard less of these words.
But it can be seen from the pharaoh's good attitude towards the young high priest that Seti never really listened to these words.
Pharaoh knew what jealousy was, and he saw that child Tahir clearly.
The young High Priest was indeed extremely intelligent, but if he were to say how scheming he was, he was not at all.
Seti could tell that the boy's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he didn't understand some things, but he just didn't bother to argue about them.
When it comes to arrogance, he is definitely right.
However, if you want to grasp the young man's arrogance to talk to Pharaoh, it will obviously backfire.
The noble pharaoh never took this to heart from the beginning to the end.
In his opinion, Tahir is a high priest favored by the gods, born to be superior to others, and worthy of his special respect.
Seti will never forget the oracle he received that night.
The god Ra entered his dream in person, and the divine appearance of the king of the gods was so radiant that Seti could not doubt that this was the presence of the gods.
Seti only revealed half of the content of the oracle.
The divine master, whose majesty cannot be seen directly, told him that the young man got a glimpse of the future by chance, and would help his son in the future, becoming the king of kings who would achieve unprecedented achievements.
Seti felt pleasantly surprised after being panicked, and would not feel displeased that he would be overwhelmed by his descendants.
At first, he thought that the future king whom Ra was referring to was his eldest son, but soon realized that what Ra was really referring to was his second son, Ramses.
Ramses and Tahir are actually good friends, which Seti also knows.
The pharaoh has been observing and will not interfere with the outside world.
He has always watched the growth of Ramses. At this moment, Tahir, who has always been calm, finally showed his strong side. Pharaoh can only feel relieved.
——But others probably don't think so.
Coincidentally, Ramses, who was summoned by his father, was one of them.
When the prince walked on the road, he felt nervous, even more nervous than when he first went to war when he was ten years old.
He thought that after his father found out that Tahir had suppressed Senedi in one fell swoop, he would be displeased with the little priest who was showing off his limelight, otherwise why did he come to call for him as soon as he returned to the palace?
His fists clenched involuntarily.
Ramses' expression at this moment was surprisingly serious, and because he walked too fast, he seemed to be flying, which caused wind under his feet.
When rushing into the inner hall where the Pharaoh was, without using wings, he was really carried by the wind that he rushed out--just flew directly in front of his father.
"Father! Tahir did nothing wrong!"
Crackling, crackling, a lot of explanations were thrown out, and the explanations were all logical and logical.
Pharaoh didn't speak, but he was surprised to hear it.
The logic of Ramses is so clear, I am afraid that he has already thought about how to defend his friend in front of him, and by the way, he stepped on Vihir who is not pleasing to the eye.
Seeing this scene clearly, Pharaoh knew in his heart that the relationship between the two children would only be better than before, and the connection would only be closer than before. He was very relieved.
only--
Don't worry, don't worry.
Seeing the tense appearance of his son who had never been so excited in front of him since he was a few years old, Seti felt a little amused, so he couldn't play anymore, and planned to tease Ramses.
"The high priest's action yesterday was indeed a little over the line. Many officials have already advised me. Ramses, I thought that you were in such a hurry to plead for him?"
"Tahir is not wrong at all, what crime do I ask, as long as you don't misunderstand, father, it will be fine!"
Seti continued: "Then if the outside pressure is too great, I have to punish him?"
His original intention was just to test Ramses' thoughts, but he didn't expect that after this attempt, he tried an answer that made Pharaoh stunned.
"I believe in the wisdom of my father. You will not punish the true believers who protect the glory of the gods because of the gossip of those ignorant people. What's more, why is Tahir wrong? If, if you really want to punish..."
"No matter what, I will protect him."
Ramses said firmly.
When he said this, the young prince didn't think about himself, let alone hesitate.
The author has something to say: v!Thank you guys for your support! ! ! !Send red envelopes to the first [-] comments
The last chapter seems to be a bit skipped [Being beaten] I mainly want to pave the way for Tahir's mood first. In this chapter, he made a very important choice, which directly affected the development of the subsequent plot.
What will the future of the prince and the priest be like, please look forward to——
