During the meeting, the drama unfolded as the elders were unable to reach a final decision on the solution for the King's health, leading to the meeting's end due to misunderstandings among them.

Nze Okoro offered his suggestion based on his beliefs. "We all know he's a devoted member of the Catholic faith," remarked one of the elders as they walked towards their homes.

The next day, at their rescheduled meeting, the elders were divided. Supporters of Nze Okoro proposed inviting a Catholic priest, while others sided with Elder Agu to call upon a powerful seer.

The simultaneous arrival of both the Catholic priest and the seer was coincidental.

"May the peace of the Lord be with this household," declared the Catholic priest as he entered to pray over the King.

Meanwhile, the seer performed rituals outside. After concluding, she announced a seven-day period of purification and cleansing, after which she claimed the King would be healed.

After the Catholic priest finished his prayers, he proceeded to sprinkle Holy water outside the house, blessing the elders gathered there. However, Elder Agu and a few others frowned at this gesture. Suddenly, the seer cried out, "Abomination! Abomination! Abomination!" as the priest inadvertently sprinkled Holy water on her before leaving.

Three days later, the King's recovery brought joy to the community, with some attributing the miracle to the Catholic priest and others to the seer.

The debate spread across the community. Nze Okoro and his supporters attended Thanksgiving in the church, while Elder Agu and the others awaited the completion of the seer's seven-day purification process. However, the King declined to participate in the purification since he had already recovered.

"Long live the King," greeted Onuowu, expressing happiness for the King's recovery but suggesting the completion of the purification. The King, angered, forbade Onuowu from ever raising the matter again.
