Chapter 8: The Highest Priest
Domecastle, Cemetary
The cries of people break the deafening silence of the once silent cemetary. Grey clouds loomed over them, as if the sky is crying with their grief. The sound of thousands of rain hitting the earth's surface adds to the sad atmosphere. A man in a ponytail holding a black umbrella walked to the man who wears eyeglasses while staring at the king's coffin with a blank look on his face.
"Theodore." The man in pony tail acknowledges the said man and stood beside him.
"Joner." Theodore nods at him in return.
"Balita ko, the king of war, calton dark had escaped?" Joner casually asked with a hidden smirk. Knowing too well what caused the king's escaped. Theodore nods at him.
"Yes, I was trying to inform the prince about this, but nawala ng parang bula si prince daimen. Everyone in the domecastle is scared and in alert ever since ng nakatakas ang hari." Theodore said in distress. Joner just let out a 'hmm' in return. Pareho nilang tinignan kung papano nagsi-iyakan mostly lahat ng mga residents ng domecastle, as they throw their flowers at the royal red coffin. Most of the residents are present to express their grief, but the two wise man knows better. Pakitang tao lang ang mga ito. They are here to show them that they care and support the king, so they can gain the interest of the council. Speaking of the council...
Joner eyed the five people covered in cloaks. They are sitting right in front of the coffin. It's always been like this, the council never reveal themselves except for the highest priest. As if one of them felt the intense gaze of joner has giving in their direction, one of the council turned its head in his direction. A visible smirk can be seen under its hood, she is clearly a female based on her body and posture bago ibinalik nito ang kanyang atensyon sa kabaong. One of the council is the highest priest, which is not surprising because the king and the priest known each other for the past seven years. No one knows his name nor his background pero kinikilala na ang pinaka mataas na posisyon sa council ay ang highest priest.
The highest priest let out a fake cough para makuha ang atensyon ng lahat. He doesn't need to do that, halos lahat ng atensyon ng tao ay laging nasa kanya. Trying desperately to get on his good side to gain benefits to the council. The highest priest is higher than the king of domecastle, dahil responsibilidad ng highest priest ang i-maintain ang kapayapaan of all kingdoms throughout the world.
