Chapter 795: Chapter 430: The Prince’s Repentance, the Secret Conspiracy, the Inevitable Divine Punishment!_2

Elder Uguel’s eyes twinkled as he watched the Pineapple Prince’s reverent carefulness, and a sense of emotion arose in his heart.

"In the five years of reform, the Prince of Tlacopan has surrendered his family’s samurai and the management rights of the city, and now has even given up most of his land and subjects, leaving only his glorious title and accumulated wealth... Truly a role model among the great nobility!"

The High Priest lowered his eyes, patiently listening to the Prince of Pineapple’s "confession."

"... Respected High Priest, I genuinely support the reforms of the Royal Family and the High Priesthood! Seeing the Alliance growing stronger day by day, and the Chief Divine’s glory spreading across the world... As a prince of the Alliance, enjoying a luxurious life, what does it matter to give up some land and people!..."

In the Priest Grand Hall, the Prince of Pineapple showed a devout expression, as if willing to sacrifice himself for the Chief Divine at any moment.

"... But there are always some hereditary nobles and priests who cannot see the grand situation of the Alliance, blindly like moths to a flame. In the city of Tlacopan, some great nobles are plotting, and some subordinate divine priests participate in it... I have heard a little, deeply troubled, and powerless to stop it... so I had to come to the Great Temple to confess to the High Priesthood!..."

"A plot?"

Upon hearing this, the High Priest’s eyes flickered. He revealed a kindly smile and inquired.

"Totoquihuatzin, my child, what are the great nobles and priests of Tlacopan plotting?"

"The Chief Divine witnesses! Respected High Priest, I have never participated in it and do not know the details."

The Pineapple Prince’s chubby face trembled, and he quickly spoke up.

"I only heard it’s related to assassination, involving the High Priesthood and also the King..."

"Oh? A plot to assassinate... truly a grave sin!"

The High Priest’s expression became stern. He glanced at the Elder Priests listening attentively and slowly nodded.

"The Chief Divine witnesses! Totoquihuatzin, my child, if you have a list of these nobles and priests, you would have accomplished a great feat!..."

"Praise the Chief Divine! Respected High Priest, I am willing to do my utmost for you, sparing no effort!"

Upon hearing this, the Pineapple Prince’s expression shifted, a look of joy appearing. He respectfully knelt down, prostrated himself in homage, and then took from his bosom a list already prepared.

"High Priest, here is the list of the nobles and priests involved in the plot! I also have a few trusted aides who can help with guidance..."

"Azar..."

The High Priest looked towards Elder Azar. The stern War God Elder nodded, took the list from the hands of the Pineapple Prince, briefly checked it, and his eyebrows deeply furrowed. Then, he handed the list to the High Priest, his face showing an unmistakable intent to kill.

"High Priest, the remaining nobles of Tlacopan with actual power are almost all on the list!... These damned nobles plotting assassination, their sins are unforgivable! The subordinate divine priests daring to participate should also be completely exterminated!..."

The High Priest took the list, glanced at it briefly, the names of nobles with control over lands and subjects were all there. He understood, slightly smiled, and made a promise to Prince Totoquihuatzin.

"My devout child, you have accomplished a great feat! The Chief Divine knows all, shines upon his devout believers, accepts their sincere confessions, and promises a beautiful future!... Now, you can face the statue of the Chief Divine, and pray earnestly for His blessings!"

Prince Totoquihuatzin nodded in understanding. He closed his eyes, and in front of all the Elder Priests, grasped the pure gold Sun Hummingbird Talisman around his neck, and prayed solemnly.

"Praise the Chief Divine! I am willing to follow the guidance of the High Priesthood, offering all of myself for the Chief Divine! With a devout faith, I do not wish to enjoy comfort in the heart of the Lake Region... I only wish to go to the remote ecclesiastical districts in the frontier, to spread the glory of the Chief Divine, dedicating my life!..."

Upon hearing this, the Elder Priests exchanged looks briefly, all deep in thought. The High Priest slowly nodded and looked toward Elder Uguel.

Elder Uguel pondered for a moment, spoke softly, yet loud enough for everyone to hear.

"The Land of Jontal to the southwest is narrow and has been completely resealed. The area around Xilotepec City to the north, the tripartite Otomi to the northwest, still has plenty of land. There’s also the southwest Tlacopan Mountain region recently occupied by Priest Xiulote..."

Hearing about these impoverished and rough hills, the Pineapple Prince kept his eyes closed, his face twitching. He hurriedly prayed again.

"The light of the Chief Divine rises like the dawn, shining from the East! Following His light, I go to the distant lands in the East..."

Elder Uguel raised an eyebrow, pointed towards the East, glanced at Elder Azar. Elder Azar, serious, nodded approvingly at the Pineapple Prince, and appreciation appeared in his eyes. Soon, all the Elder Priests nodded in agreement, looking towards the chief of the High Priest.

"Excellent! My devout child, the Chief Divine has heard your prayers and will entrust you with the important task in the East!"

The High Priest smiled faintly, anticipatory.

"The Chief Divine witnesses! Prince Totoquihuatzin, once the Alliance invades the Tlaxalans to the east, the remote eastern frontier will have your new fiefdom. This is a promise made by the High Priesthood on behalf of the Chief Divine!"

"Thank you, most high High Priest!"

The Pineapple Prince trembled with emotion, prostrated himself before the High Priest. Then, he successively bowed to each of the Elder Priests, including Xiulote.

"Blessed by the Chief Divine! Praise His glory!..."

The High Priest waited patiently until the Pineapple Prince had finished bowing, then calmly gave the order.

"Elder Azar."

"High Priest."

"Take a thousand Temple Guards, along with the trusted aides directed by Prince Totoquihuatzin, and proceed immediately to the western City-State of Tlacopan! According to the names on the list, capture the conspiring great nobles and subordinate divine priests in sequence!"

"At your command!"

Elder Azar bowed to accept the order, took the list, and then, pressing on the obsidian Short Dagger at his waistline, his expression revealed a cold intent to kill, he exited the Priest Grand Hall.
