252 Estrangement

Elder Gu Ming’s voice echoed through the great hall, but Rody’s mind was spinning.

The King invited Elder Gu Ming and Fielding tonight on purpose!

What exactly was the King trying to do?

To be exact, tonight’s gathering was actually aimed at uniting everyone against the Temple! What was the King up to, by inviting the Temple followers to such a gathering?

"Puzzled?" Seth’s voice rang out beside him.

Everybody stopped talking the moment the Temple people entered, and Rody was not sure when Seth had moved to his side. But the Senior Prime Minister and the Crown Prince were not concerned with Seth. They exchanged a few glances; nobody could tell what they were thinking.

Rody silently stepped back and stood next to Seth, asking in a low voice, "You know what’s going on?"

Seth’s lips curled into a slight smile. He grabbed Rody’s hand and drew a few strokes.
