Chapter 996 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (54)
It’s all useless.
The liver is also big.
Do you think such nonsense will work for the emperor?
“Excuse me.”
Sitting far away from the priests who consulted hard, she silently focused on prayer.
The plans concocted by the other priests were no longer heard.
Hearing it, I thought it was useless.
But someone has interrupted her prayers.
“…?”
Don’t interrupt when she’s praying.
If I had been in the temple, I would have been screaming right away.
But when she opened her eyes and looked around, she could see that the priests were all looking at her.
Did you do anything else that would offend them?
He looked at the one who called him with a puzzled expression.
“What are you doing?”
“I know you’re focused on prayer, but prayer doesn’t seem to be important right now.”
“That’s right. Prayer is always something you can offer, isn’t it?”
“Now that I’ve come to the prayer room, I’m just being faithful to my work.”
“Pray the rest of your prayers separately later, and have a little talk with us.”
“What conversation are you talking about?”
“We’ve discussed it among ourselves, but the priest seems to be the one who can handle this job the best.”
“A job?”
These were the words of the priests.
She said that she wanted to ask for a deal with the emperor that they had decided on their own.
It was absurd that the priests who ignored him would entrust such an important task to them.
‘Could it be that I’m passing it on?’
It doesn’t seem like he entrusted himself with such an important task in a good way.
Perhaps the priests who came up with this plan knew that it was a dangerous thing that could go against the emperor’s heart if they went wrong.
He must have been afraid of an emperor who had a history of executing priests.
‘Is that why you postponed it to me?’
I was about to swear at the moment, but I managed to suppress it with patience.
However, the priest added explanations to his shy expression, as if it was not hidden by his facial expression.
“No, to be honest, priest didn’t do anything while we were discussing various methods. Shouldn’t you do this much for everyone?”
It’s not that I didn’t give any opinion, I just did it on my own knowing that even if I did, they wouldn’t take it seriously.
“Are you asking me to express my opinions as a representative, since I did not have any opinions? As you said, these are things that do not contain any of my opinions?”
“So you’re really not going to do anything? Don’t you think that’s too irresponsible?”
“That’s right. If you were unhappy that your opinion wasn’t heard, you should have said it earlier.”
A lot of people are making a decision and putting a burden on one person.
As if if I didn’t get this job, I would be an irresponsible person with a lot of garbage.
It’s not just one person, it’s pressure from many people.
How many people can stand this?
“So what do you want to do?”
“Meet the emperor and ask if you want to restore your relationship with the temple. And if you release us without ransom, then say that you will side with the empire in future relationships with the temple.”
“If the emperor accepts, are you really going to do that?”
“Are we crazy? Of course we’re just talking.”
“What would you do if I told you to take responsibility?”
“We did our best to take the side, but we can say that we were too adamant in the temple and couldn’t carry out our will.”
I sighed deeply at the priest’s actions, which seemed to be asking for obvious things.
“The Emperor will not accept this deal.”
“You’re not going to accept it? Again, you alone have a different opinion.”
She who determined that she would not be alone in the phenomenon that everyone believed would be a revelation.
She couldn’t even provide accurate evidence that it wasn’t.
However, when the priest, who hadn’t said anything when exchanging opinions with her, brought up a negative story saying that Yi Je and her emperor would not accept it, everyone couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable looking at her.
“Why the hell are you doing this?”
“Yes? What am I?”
“Doesn’t they say that a revelation is not a revelation, or that the emperor won’t accept it? What’s so negative about it?”
“I didn’t say that because I was negative. I said it because it was true.”
“Just tell me honestly that you didn’t want to do it. We didn’t force you to.”
“?”
You’ve been forcing it so far and you’re not forcing it anymore?
She said, taken aback by her brazen change of attitude.
“Didn’t everyone come and force you to tell the emperor your opinion?”
“It’s a suggestion, not a compulsion.”
“That’s right. Besides, you didn’t do anything at the right time. We thought we would rather say thank you. If you’re a shameless person.”
“…”
I know that everyone exchanged great opinions.
“I know you’ve become sensitive because the situation is the situation. But why don’t you think a little more rationally? Your behavior doesn’t look good right now.”
“I don’t know why we’re saying such harsh things.”
Gossip gossip-
What should I say about this feeling?
If she is normal and everyone else is obviously abnormal, but everyone says they are normal and she is abnormal, does she really think she might be abnormal?
She shook her head in her sigh.
She didn’t want to bother with such a trivial thing.
“I don’t think this kind of thing will work for the emperor, so I’m going to skip it. Please take care of it without me.”
“You’re a priest too. Why aren’t you with us? After all, if we succeed, you’ll enjoy the rewards too.”
So there’s no way you can succeed in the first place.
She said, annoyed at her.
“If that works, leave me behind. I’m fine. I’ll pay the ransom for my release.”
It was a declaration that he would move alone.
“…Do you really have to go this far?”
“I will. I wonder if I really have to go this far. But what should I do? Everyone says they don’t like it, so I have to avoid it.”
“Hmmmm, when did we say that? You catch a live person.”
“Anyway, I said it clearly. I hope you won’t say anything else later.”
For example, when the emperor was angered by what they were about to do, he said that the repercussions should not reach him.
The problem is that it is embarrassing to not be able to tell the emperor every single thing like that.
‘I guess I’ll have to use my hands in advance from now on.’
If it’s to show that your relationship with them isn’t smooth…
“I will go.”
When her guard asked for her help, saying she needed urgent care, she was the first to raise her hand.
Most of the other priests didn’t want to work, so there were many cases of avoiding their eyes, so her active attitude caught the attention of the guards at once.
And as for the treatment she had to do instead of making her a prayer room, she treated her with the most active and neat skills, and the attitude of her guards changed day by day.
“Isn’t it trying to stick to the Emperor of the Empire at all?”
“Oh…!”
“When I return to the temple, I will definitely publicize this matter!”
Of course, this behavior drew glare from the other priests.
After he said he would solve it on his own, he actively cooperated with the work, which led to suspicion that he had turned to the side of the emperor in order to survive.
‘Whatever you think, do it yourself. I’ll do whatever I want too.’
She knew through her dreams that she had changed a lot.
In the past, this would have been unimaginable.
But the emotions she felt in her dreams changed her.
She knew how insignificant she was, and her helplessness, that in the face of her irresistible power, all she could do was to conform.
She made her dream like that, and she offended the emperor, so she didn’t want to suffer any disadvantages.
In her eyes, they were fools.
I don’t understand why they are ignoring an emperor who has already executed priests.
There was no way the emperor would fall for such an insignificant trick, right?
‘If you offend me, I’ll kill you again. The Emperor of the Empire is not a person who is afraid of losing a shrine and pretending.’
What the priests were discussing was wrong from the start.
Why do you think the emperor wants to restore the relationship with the temple?
Ever since the priests were executed, the emperor must have been thinking of an all-out war with the temple.
‘He’s a person who can destroy the temple if he puts his mind to it.’
I don’t know when I started thinking like this.
I just thought that I couldn’t go against the emperor of the empire from some moment.
‘Should I just naturalize?’
Even if the relationship with the temple has gone wrong, the people will still be sick, and they will need a priest.
That’s why she builds a temple in the empire.
No, should she settle down in her original temple?
If they had used their hands in the temple, all the priests dispatched to the empire would have returned to the temple.
It’s like starting over from the beginning in a place that was abandoned like that.
‘It might not be worse than I thought.’
If it’s the ability of the emperor of the empire, the country will grow much bigger than it is now, and nothing will fail.
‘I destroyed the Geos Empire, but there’s no way it’s ruined.’
Even if the temple priests withdrew now, babies born with the will of God would appear in the empire as time passed.
It’s nonsense to take those babies from the temple when the relationship has gone sour.
Imagine raising those babies to be good priests.
It is as if a new temple force is created.
And the new temple will be a temple only for the empire.
‘If I said I would do it myself, how would the emperor come out?’
Rather, I thought that what she thought would be much more persuasive to her emperor.
And I was convinced that it would be the best way for her to survive.
‘I don’t think the situation will get any better than it is now even if I return to the temple after being released as it is.’
It is a situation where many of her priests are already looking at her unkindly.
What if they go back and spread bad rumors about you?
He is alone, and there are many people who create rumors, so it will be a matter of seconds for a lie to become the truth.
‘I’d rather go back to a place like that and be alone, even if I suffer, it’s better to start over here.’
Perhaps the emperor would find this part interesting.
Like other priests, she felt the need to meet and talk with the emperor.
‘How do we meet?’
But the problem was that there was no way to meet them.
Where could the emperor meet the person he wanted to meet?
Fortunately, however, a few days later, I had a chance to meet the emperor.
The priests who tried to hand over the work to themselves with absurd claims made the guards bring in their superiors because of the irrational number.
“I heard there was another strike. What are you complaining about?”
How could the priests imprisoned be able to intimidate them?
In the end, they used a method they themselves were reluctant to use.
Perhaps it was a method that had already been used once, but this time the emperor did not appear in person, but a nobleman appeared in the prison.
“Why didn’t the emperor come?”
“Look! Call the Emperor!”
“We won’t speak unless the Emperor!”
And the priests ignored the nobles, asking to bring the emperor to a large extent.
Since the priests were always in the position of ‘A’, it was only natural that they were not aware of the fact that they were ‘B’.
The old habits came out naturally, and the nobles who appeared with their annoyances were distorted by their demands.
