"Delay taming the Third Priest? What guarantee is there that the people of his faction won't support him or try to protect him?" Isaac asked.
His words were reasonable. If he kept the Third Priest alive, then he would be carrying a dangerous political problem with him.
"You are correct, but killing him is dangerous. He is a traitor for working with the Purification Cult, and this news will kick up a storm. People will try to divert attention from that fact, and they might use you as an excuse. They could claim that a Lord dared to attack Florathi and use that as justification to start a war against you, so please wait until we can return to the Florathi Kingdom," Althea replied.
Isaac frowned slightly. He understood her reasoning, but that did not mean he trusted the outcome. Politics was often less concerned with truth and more concerned with who benefited from spreading a certain narrative.
