The political reason was so that one person did not hold onto power for too long.

While the societal reason was to avoid a successor war if the chief shaman suddenly died without nominating her champion.

That last reason however was a bit weak because it was not like chief shamans were immune to diseases or injuries.

Many many had died prematurely to various illnesses and even assassinations without leaving a clear successor behind.

When that happened, it predictively led to various strife and internal chaos.

But overall, history provided unequivocal evidence that the practice of removing chief shamans by their sixty-th birthday had brought great stability to the Helvati.

Take this particular for instance-, if Atzi had not been the chief shaman but her master, without that balancing force, Metztil would see no other way out than to launch a military coup to try and keep his position.

The amount of blood and death it would have caused has already been discussed.

The elderly former shaman produced a complex look as she saw her most treasured pupil take her seat beside her chief husband.

In a way, she was very proud of her student\'s achievements, but in other ways, she was extremely angry with her.

She had lost count of how many sleepless nights she spent cursing Atzi for tricking her.

The current chief shaman was able to annul her marriage arrangement using a very clever reasoning.

When was presented with the deal, she pretended to accept it, but slyly added the clause that she be allowed to delay the union until she took the mantle.

The reasoning she put forth was the concern that if she were to so blatantly marry the son of the former chief shaman, people would misunderstand her actions as simply \'buying\' her way in, Which in fairness was what was indeed happening.

But the upper echelon had every incentive to hide the truth from the general public. It would be too scandalous if it were to get out that the seat to the divine was sold for such a paltry twice.

The names Atzi would have to endure then could easily be imagined. Your next read awaits at m,v -NovelBin.net

Hence to avoid people inevitably talking about how she got the job by spreading her leg, Atzi decided to push back the ceremony until things calmed down.

Hence during her appointment ceremony, she presented herself to the people as a pure maiden, unmarred and untainted by lust or any other filthy human touches.

And just like she had predicted, it worked.

After her succession was declared, even though the then young lady\'s looks were nothing to look at twice, just her status and temperament were enough to draw many admirers.

They all wondered who the lucky man would be to marry such a powerful woman.

The Helvati had no written law against chief shamans marrying or having children.

In fact most chief shamans would have families by the time they rose to such distinguished positions.

Only a very few shamans chose to remain to celebrate, as it was generally considered one was close to nature when they acted as mothers- a mother for her children, as well as a mother for the tribal spirit.

And among the man who was most expectant to make the lady into a mother was naturally Tepin, who snickered at the talks of these uninformed masses all while swimming in his dream of having the entire dominion of the Helvati within his fingertips.

However, as you already know, things went a bit wry here.

Atiz very well understood the game being played here.

Her master wanted her to simply become a puppet under Tepin, who would then use her position to take over the tribe once the childless chief kneeled over.

He was the most highly ranked male shaman of the tribe and if the chief shaman who was also his wife were to endorse him, Tepin\'s chances of success were actually very high.

But although the prospect of having so much more power also attracted the ambitious woman, the problem was that Atzi personally hated her senior brother to his guts.

There were many nasty rumors around him, such as him killing and maiming many slaves in secret, and worse, she even had credible evidence he had abused and killed a fellow shaman sister of hers.

If it was just the former, Atzi might have been able to still swallow it- after all, slaves were little more than animated tools who could walk and speak.

However, the murder of a fellow tribe member proved to be an absolute deal breaker.

It was just too bad that she was unable to seek justice due to the man\'s powerful mother, even when she was solid evidence.

Besides, given the near total lack of forensic investigation know how, most such accusations came to he said, she said.

Atiz very well knew whatever evidence she produced would be circumstantial at best, and the elders would choose to side with the former chief shaman even if they knew the truth.

This was just how things were in the Helvati- you scratch my back and I will scratch yours.

The powerful always had each other\'s back.

Hence the young lady had no other option than to accept the fact.

However, she at least vowed that she would never let herself be caught with this sadistic man.

Thus, Atzi began to drag her feet when the time came to pay up, citing various mundane reasons, be it feigning illness or expressing doubt over the people\'s acceptance of such a marriage and wishing to wait a bit longer until things settled down.

But no matter how many days went by, things never seemed to \'settle down\' for her, at least not enough.

Atzi did this hoping to wait until her former master passed away from her illness, before simply reneging on her promise.

However here she suddenly hit a major stumbling block- the former shaman who was thought to be uncurable and destined to die suddenly recovered!

It was a miracle.

And that sent electrifying shockwaves down Atzi\'s heart.

Instead of feeling an ounce of happiness at her teacher\'s survival, Atzi only felt like an ant on a hot pan.

Not only was her plan thrown into a complete wrench, but she was even afraid she would have her title snatched.

There had been never such a precedence, of the former chief taking back her post after giving it, but neither had anyone been ever elected like Atzi had.

The lone, young age was alone and powerless.

Hence, before her master could recover and play her hand, the ever decisive girl made her move and threw her lot with her to be husband Metztil.

Back then Metztil was a rising star of the tribe, a champion warrior who was said to be unmatched in single combat not only among the Helvati but the entire native population.

His father was also a renowned general in charge of the tribe\'s security, as well as a war hero who had taken part in the fight that defeated the previous strongest tribe and cemented the Helvati\'s position.

This made Metztil also a very strong contender for the childless chief\'s seat.

Combine that with Atzi\'s position as the chief shaman, the pair were able to quickly supplant Tepin through a well organized, planned out coup, combined with some gold old lucky timing.

Back then, the tribe was going through a very rough drought, and so, just like Amenheraft had done, Metztil led a massive excursion into the surrounding tribes, taking their grain stocks for himself.

And he had done this completely without any of the elder\'s knowledge or permission.

Even the men themselves only found out about it once they were standing in front of their target\'s walls.

Metztil had cleverly divided his army into many smaller chunks and simply told them they were simply going out to forage for food for the tribe.

This sudden and out of nowhere attack caught all the tribes completely unaware, as none of their spies had even hinted at such an attack.

Thus Metztil was able to simply waltz in and secure enormous amounts of grain with very few casualties.

And when he distributed that looted food for free to the people, the previously relatively lukewarm tribe suddenly turned into his most loyal followers.

Of course, this food was not actually free.

Masterminded by his wife, Metztil had in reality made a deal with the ruling elites of the tribe- proposing to swap grain for the chief\'s seat.

The then current chief naturally went ballistic after hearing this offer, and refused to even entertain the idea, simply waving his arm dismissively with the single word- \'Ridiculous!\'

However the other nobles were not so staunch.

Faced with an empty stomach and the very real possibility of them and their family starving to death, they plotted with Metztil to kill the man.

And they succeeded.

In this way, Metztil was able to side step Tepin to take the tribe\'s mantle.
