Chapter 41 Great Irreverence

Hirodod displayed some surprise upon hearing this, "That day, I did not participate in the final vote, I merely followed the orders of the Church."

"I know, I know... the punishments are just for show for those below us. Your diligence over the years has not gone unnoticed by me and the other High Priests, but the Church is now facing trouble, and sacrifices must be made."

"Are you asking me to take the blame for this?"

"It's not just me, but other Priests think similarly. Of course, it's not your fault; we all know that. However, under the current circumstances, we have to put you at a disadvantage. We will keep your position as High Priest reserved for you, and once this blows over, you can return."

Priest Reves tried to keep his tone gentle and his expression earnest, but then he saw his disciple laugh out loud.

That was undoubtedly very rude, and a hint of displeasure appeared on the old priest's face.

"What's so funny?" he asked.
