A, let's put this necklace to use (or, you know, test if it still works).

A.

[Criptfeind]

B

Wait what? I thought it was currently going in an extended timeline because of money matters o_O

No one's gunna care about excuses!

[Lucus Casius]

B, then if they still keep doing it, charge them and demand to know where their gods are now.

You prepare a speech on demand to calm the peasants.

6*

The peasants weep and smooch the cobblestones of the roads, apologizing for even daring to threaten such a lovely and kind ruler as you.

You return to the palace without further incidents. Next day you write the divorce edict and send a copy to the Temple of Oaths, and another to your brother's castle.

868 AD, Autumn

The delegation of the priests of the higher order of gods have arrived at your palace.

After mumbling something about excommunication and place in the sad part of the afterlife for you, they begin to list their demands:

"The Priests of the Pantheon demand that King of Luathbas devotes money to hasten the completion of the new Grand Temple. That he nullifies the divorce edict of his royal brother, Romuald, and signs a letter that never again shall the Crown of Luathbas nullify any oaths made sacred by the Pantheon. That he devotes himself to the year-long penance in the Closed Temple on the Mountain to repent for his sins and lack of piety. That he installs the Priest of God of Laws as one of his advisors in matters of the diplomacy."

"And what if I disagree?" You ask the delegation.

"Then you and your children shall be excommunicated, your marriage with Queen Cylla will be nulled, and that the Cult of Pantheon shall stir up the peasants to remove you from the throne and install your pious brother Feodh as the next King of Luathbas." The lead priest rolls up the scroll given to him by the higher-ups and looks at you.

A) Cave to the demands of the clergy and do what they asked.
B) Refuse these ridiculous demands and threaten obliteration of the clergy if they ever dare to question your rule.
C) Attempt to negotiate, even if the current delegation has no power amongst the higher-ups of the clergy.
D) Embrace excommunication and declare war upon the Cult.

[Tiruin]

We can handle this. Our previous ruler was merely disconnected :/

C

[Harry Baldman]

C, let's try to be reasonable before executing the whole damned lot and embracing Damed instead. Or Malak - we did build a nice temple for that guy!

[piratejoe]

C

[flazeo25]

D. they threatened us for too long.

Once agian you try to go with the diplomatic channels of this issue at hand.

3*

"Is this some kind of a joke?" Ask the leader of the delegation. "Here we are, listing our offer of reconciliation in return to fulfillment of some demands, and you wish to question our generosity!?" Other priests grumble angrily in your general direction.

A) Cave to the demands of the clergy and do what they asked.
B) Embrace excommunication and declare war upon the Cult.
C) Refuse these ridiculous demands and threaten obliteration of the clergy if they ever dare to question your rule.

[Criptfeind]

Called it! Whew!

[Tiruin]

We probably can't roll that bad again! (Please be a diplomatic themed choice)
But really. Tension deflection is best here, and...A seems actually better, however C seems like there's dialogue still?

C
..Maybe? :/

Edit: Wait, they're asking us to go against our brother's wishes. Now that's crossing the (unknown to everyone else) line. Really going with C now. One last stern issuance because they're getting up serious with that one statement of "never again shall the Crown of Luathbas nullify any oaths made sacred by the Pantheon"
