An elder chuckled, "Young people don't understand politics, stability, or rules, and that's understandable."
"He certainly isn't clueless."
The Great Elder squinted slightly,
"He understands exceptionally well and thoroughly!
"Just a moment ago, he was standing here, right in this spot, looking up and telling me that the murderer is right here.
"Consider it carefully, what does it mean?
"Do you think he's threatening us by saying if today's election doesn't yield the result he wants, he'll have all the esteemed elders we've put forward arrested?
"You're wrong, he's telling me that he killed the prince, and that the order came from the Emperor. If the Elder Court doesn't cooperate, Vinoss the Prince will be our fate, he's threatening me."
A group of elders chuckled a bit among themselves.
"Ah, the indiscretion of youth."
"The Emperor believes that by possessing an Ancient Gods Transformed, he can scare us old geezers."
