The personal attendants of the temple priests were not so easy to serve.

This is Doya's first emotion after taking the throne.

The priests in the temple seemed to be worried that she would not serve the temple priests well, so they sent a special priest to teach after that.

As a personal attendant, she will always follow the priest of the temple, and her words and deeds will naturally be watched by everyone.

Doya experienced firsthand what the priests of the temple had experienced.

She deeply felt how difficult it was for the priests of the temple, she was obviously three years older than her, but she was far inferior to her.

But—

Through the layers of draperies, Doya saw the temple priest sitting quietly at the table behind the screen.

Since she officially succeeded as priests of the temple, they have moved out of the previous dormitory and moved into the highest and most magnificent priest temple in the temple.

The priest of the temple sat on a high platform, and in the empty and lonely hall, except for Doya, only the burning candle flame was left to accompany her, even if she sat in that position, she could look up at the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers in the distance.

But Doya still felt that the temple priests were more lonely than before.

So she gritted her teeth and persevered.

It wasn't until the priest who taught her thought that she had the qualifications to accompany the priests of the temple that Doya was cowardly.

She used to be able to walk to her desk with impunity, and she could call her name happily and without hesitation.

But now—

Through a screen, Doya lowered her head in confusion, with a respectful and respectful expression: "Lord Priest." ”

At this moment, Doya finally understood what she had lost.

She kept her promise and got her wish, but she also lost a friend.

For countless years to come, they will maintain such a distanced from each other.

The priest of the temple behind the screen raised his eyes, and the emotion in his eyes was indifferent, but a trace of sadness appeared at this time: "Doya, do you regret it?" ”

To become her divine servant is to be doomed to the loss of the other.

The moment she made her promise, she had already seen it.

Doya knelt down.

"No regrets." Her tone was extremely serious, "This is what Doya begged for, no matter what it is, I don't regret it." ”

She seemed to hear the temple priest behind the screen laugh.

Then she heard the other party's soft-spoken murmur as if it were floating in the wind: "Thank you." ”

Doya was flattered for a moment.

But at that time, she could not understand the meaning of this 'thank you'.

......

After the temple priest officially succeeds him, he needs to spread the glory of the temple, but the successive temple priests cannot easily leave the temple and cannot leave the national capital for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, this huge parade was finally carried out only in the wide streets of the national capital, and even then, the specifications of the parade were very grand and extravagant.

The magnificent chariot is made of gold, and the hanging jewels are precious gems collected from all over the kingdom, and the soft furs are laid into a blanket, stacked on top of each other, just to worship the treasures of the kingdom.

This parade coincided with the Lantern Festival feast.

Doya skillfully combed the temple priest's hair, and behind a few screens stood several priests, she didn't dare to be too arrogant, but she still lowered her voice and quietly told her about it.

"Lantern Festival?"

The temple priest muttered softly.

Duo Ya nodded lightly: "Well, there will be a lot of festivals of lantern feasts, and adults can finally see it this time!" ”

Her tone was expectant and happy, for the sake of the temple priests.

She had been in the temple for four years, but only left the temple for the first time since she succeeded her.

The temple priest's gentle expression remained unchanged, but he did not respond to her again.

It was only when the priest of the temple got on the chariot and she followed closely behind the chariot, and followed the priests and officers and soldiers on both sides to descend from the temple that she finally discovered the truth.

- In order to welcome the priest of the temple and to show high respect for her, the lively and noisy Lantern Festival Lantern Festival was suspended.

On both sides of the street were pious and eager people, who believed in the temple and the priests of the temple, and at the moment of the appearance of the priests, they did not dare to spy on the faces of the priests of the temple, and knelt respectfully.

"God bless the priest!"

"God bless the priest!!"

When Doya realized that there was not a single lantern on the street, she subconsciously looked at the temple priest whose face was obscured by the pale golden curtains in the chariot.

But this time, she could feel that the temple priest had actually guessed this scene.

Or - she had already seen such an ending in advance.

The procession is carried out not only to convey the glory of the temple, but also to highlight the sacred majesty and inviolable image of the temple.

Even the princes and nobles had to wait on the holy mountain to meet the priests of the temple who had returned from the procession, and listen to her prophesies.

The procession marched slowly, but no one would have an opinion, and they all bowed to the ground with the sound of the priests chanting scriptures.

Such a peaceful scene was interrupted by a few noisy voices.

"Oops! That kid is going to ram the parade! ”

"Damn it, stop!"

"It's the priest up ahead!"

“......”

The procession, which had been moving at a steady pace, suddenly stopped, and the people on both sides of the street couldn't help but look up, and there was an uproar.

A little boy in ragged clothes and with a messy face forced his way through the crowd and was about to rush in front of the team, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers of the escort team.

"Who dares to ram the priest?!"

Seeing that he was really so bold, the officers and soldiers who caught up behind him turned pale, and immediately knelt down in panic, their bodies trembling.

The little boy looked like a beggar in a slum, but his eyes really didn't look like a beggar.

Gloom, ruthlessness, and boldness and decisiveness that even adults can't match.

The officers and soldiers behind him explained tremblingly: "Report to the priest, this kid was smuggled into the national capital, and he was originally going to be expelled by us, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious, not to mention injuring people, and killing a soldier!" ”

At this time, everyone found that the boy's hands were stained with bright red blood.

The faces of the priests in the team changed instantly.

It is evidently an unforgivable sin for such sinful blood to appear before the holy, unattainable, and omniscient priests of the people.

The priests were about to ask the temple priest to execute the man, and even the people waited quietly for the priest to send a message from the priest to execute the sin-stained child.

And yet—

The figure in the walk moved slightly, and the voice of the newly succeeded temple priest still had a hint of greenness, but it was already majestic: "This son, you should stay." ”

It's just four words, but it can't be ignored.

The chariot was marching again, but the people were immersed in the uproar just now and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

This was the first proverb that the temple priest gave down after he took office.
