Constantine VI had never thought that matters could one day become so thorny, so troublesome.
Before the public eye, a Priest had offended himself, an incident that, under normal circumstances, would have led to the immediate disposal of him and his entire circle of friends and family. Who would have imagined that a Great Council would be convened for this Priest, and who would have thought that, after finally reaching a verdict on his guilt, a Priest would suddenly burst forth, claiming in the name of the Prophet that Eden should not be executed.
Constantine VI was furious.
He cast an angry glance at Veldor and Eden, then turned his thoughts to the Dwarf Priest's words.
As the Emperor, while he could become angry, he seldom lost his reason.
Veldor had brought forth the Prophet's Letter, demanding the convening of the Great Council to publicly judge Eden, and after the verdict was pronounced, suddenly claimed that Eden was a man favored by the Prophet and must not be killed.
