The elder looked at Uguel a few times and calmly instructed,
"Uguel, stop trembling, you still have time. The two High Priesthoods will merge, with Xutel as the Chief Priest and you as his deputy. Xutel will compile the religious scriptures, and you will handle the merger."
"Tonight and tomorrow, we must eliminate the Texcoco lineage. Call together the Priesthood, reassure the people. Tell them the Texcoco Prince was dissatisfied with Trol's death, poisoned Chief Priest Quetzal, and plotted treason, a crime unforgivable. The Tlacopan Prince was not involved, let him stay at peace. The other Nobility are innocent if unaware. If they are unsettled, continue to accept their bribes as usual."
At these words, Uguel felt a chill in his heart. He kowtowed forcefully, his head banging on the ground with thudding sounds.
"Respected elder, I will return the bribes I received in the past..."
"Uguel, look up." The elder watched him impassively.
