Ves didn't know what kind of deal that the living prophet had struck in order to be allowed to enter the courtroom.
Even though he claimed to be the current incarnation of Prophet Ylvaine, the authorities all considered him to be a terrorist leader and a menace to society!
He should have never been allowed to walk in the open like this, let alone barge into the courtroom of an incredibly sensitive tribunal!
To the Ylvainan Inquisition, the living prophet was their biggest enemy! The New Ylvaine Dynasty he headed was responsible for leading many Ylvainans astray! His very existence as an organically-grown clone of the true prophet was a walking violation of the orthodox faith!
Yet as the living prophet calmly entered the courtroom and approached the bench, none of the Protectors or the inquisitorial staff on guard moved to halt the terrorist.
They received instructions to leave him alone!
