The Golden Throne - Chapter 260
“That’s what I thought. At the least, there is some rationality left in all of you. So why don’t all of you go to the church, and I will be there as well. Let us see what God thinks about all of this.” Liu Feng laughed as he started moving towards the stables.
The carriage was ready, and the driver was sitting on it. This time, he was expecting Liu Feng.
“Your Majesty! You are finally here. We must go to the church immediately and apologize to the high priest. There must be a misunderstanding, and that is causing a massive unrest in the city.” the driver said.
Liu Feng shook his head, but he did not bother correcting the driver. He just walked onto the carriage.
“Let us get going. There will be many people there, and it will be quite the spectacle to see.” he said.
The driver nodded, and the horses neighed as they galloped forward. Within a few minutes, Liu Feng arrived at the church.
“This was faster than before.” he remarked.
“Well, Your Majesty, the situation demanded it.” the driver said.
“But the last time you took me, I already told you that I wanted to come here as fast as possible. Looks like there is something that you are misunderstanding. Something only becomes important if I demand it. Not if some high priest demands it. Now, let us just sit here and see what is going to happen.” Liu Feng said as he leaned on the carriage and looked at the citadel.
“Are you not going to go to the church, Your Majesty? I am sure that there are many people who are waiting for you there.” the driver asked.
“Why would I go to the church now? I have nothing to do there.” Liu Feng shook his head.
All around him, he could see crowds and crowds of people glaring at him, and at the church. They were all looking at what Liu Feng was about to do. Some of them already noticed that he had no intention of going to the church.
“Apologize for Blasmpheming the God!” a few shouted at him. Thankfully, no one dared to throw anything at him.
“So much drama on my first day. This isn’t exactly the best precedent. I hope that all this passes by quickly.” Liu Feng sighed.
He then started walking slowly towards the church. With every step that he took towards the church, he felt like he was conceding something.
“It will all be worth it at the end. That face that the High Priest will have will make this all worth it.” Liu Feng thought to himself, convincing himself that everything would work out.
As Liu Feng expected, the High Priest was waiting for him at the entrance.
“Your Majesty! You are here already! I hope that you have reconsidered your take on your release of the ban. After all, even the people think that you are very wrong.” the priest said.
“What is your name, High Priest? I wonder what a man of God is called.” Liu Feng asked.
“I have denounced my lowly mortal self for God. I have no name, no home, and nothing to call my own.” the high priest laughed.
“I see. No wonder you don’t understand that there are certain things that the general public doesn’t understand. But still, it is very commendable that you managed to gather such a huge crowd in a matter of hours. You are truly a man of wonders. I underestimated you.” Liu Feng chuckled.
“That is what I have already warned you about, Your Majesty. But you kept telling me that you would be able to easily deal with me. It looks like that is no longer the case. I hope that you had a change of mind. There must be a reason that you left the comfort of your palace to visit this humble one’s church.” the high priest said.
“Indeed, there is a reason that I have come here. But the thing is, nothing will happen until ten minutes later. So, that means that I have to wait another ten minutes until something concrete happens. Or it might be a little less. I am not sure. Anyways, there is one thing that you have discounted, high priest. It is that I am actually a person who is able to control great power. In the world, there are many who say that knowledge is power. But that is slightly wrong. Complete power is true power. And you shall see what that is in a few minutes.” Liu Feng said as he moved to the side and went into the church.
“You arent allowed inside. After what you have done to it, everyone in the board has decided that until God himself forgives you, you shall not be allowed inside.” the high priest stopped him.
“Until God forgives me? And who will know if he forgives me? Who will know if he actually even is angry at me? Maybe everything that has happened was that the church misinterpreted God.” Liu Feng said.
“You are crossing a dangerous territory, Your Majesty. I suggest that you keep your mouth shut. You have only been king for a day. There is a lot of power that you still have yet to control.” the high priest warned.
“Haha. To think that you would also play this card. It looks like there is little about me that you do not know. At the least, there is little about the king that you do not know. But you haven’t understood the person that I was before I became king. That must be why you are acting like such an idiot, taunting me so much. Anyways, I will not ruin the surprise. It should be here any moment.” Liu Feng said.
“I wonder what you are talking about. Which surprise did you think will possible shake me?” the high priest laughed.
