Chapter 108 - 97 They are not the Sons of God_2
Hearing this, King Dovlo was somewhat agitated; he faintly realized that the words of the High Priest held some kind of transformative power.
"Well, in the name of God, let’s do as you say."
That power was called law.
The emergence of law was neither smooth nor accomplished overnight.
After the High Priest of the Pattern Garden’s proposal spread, voices of opposition arose throughout the kingdom, with the powerful nobles in the Royal Capital repeatedly seeking an audience with King Dovlo.
By contrast, the suggestion to simplify the historical records was embraced and approved by the priests of the Pattern Garden, as well as the commoners in the country.
The High Priest led by selecting the most important sentences to display to the people of Logos. The people cheered, celebrating the simplification of the "Book of Kings and Prophets."
In the palace, nobles and priests constantly fought over the simplification of historical records, and despite King Dovlo’s repeated mediations and pleadings, neither side was willing to give up the fight.
Even several large-scale violent conflicts broke out in the Royal Capital.
King Dovlo was worn out by it all.
He was not his father, King Yarlessto, possessing enough wisdom and skill to rule the kingdom and create remarkable achievements that consolidated authority; nor was he the first Monarch, Sapo King, who subdued his subjects with martial prowess from hunting and carved out the kingdom’s earliest territories.
