Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 179 She Wants a Child ( words updated, please subscribe)

The heavy oak furniture exuded a faint woody fragrance, and the silver candlesticks on the table flickered with a soft light, complementing the firelight from the fireplace.

Through the window, you can see the courtyard outside, which is shaded by green trees and overgrown with weeds. The abandoned flower beds and depressed scene are incompatible with the exquisiteness of the living room.

The sunlight shone on the window lattice, and the mottled light and shadow sprinkled on the ends of Dorothy Hall's purple hair, as if wearing a crown of sunshine for her.

Opposite her sat a beautiful young man with blond hair and blue eyes. Although his eyes had lost their luster and could no longer see the sunlight, the sunlight still gently kissed his blond hair, making him exude a gentle charm.

Dorothy Hall looked at Li En and told him the only way to save herself at the moment.

"I must give birth to a child as soon as possible. I will pass on some of my magic to this child."

Wait, although you are very outstanding, isn’t it a bit too fast to mention having a baby right away?

Li En couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still maintained basic courtesy and asked Dorothy,
"why me?"

"Originally, this target shouldn't be you. Augustus Frank and I grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. He's the best candidate, but when I asked him to have a child, he refused."

What? You proposed to the king to have a child, but he refused?
So I'm just a backup?

Li En complained in his heart again, but there was no expression of loss on his face. He just asked lightly,
"Why did he refuse?"

"He asked my father to lead an army to attack the Azure Dragon Court. He wanted to obtain new gifts, then come back and give birth to an army with me."

Dorothy covered her forehead with one hand, clearly feeling distressed and resisting.

"I have always considered him my best friend, but he wants to use me as a tool for reproduction. I cannot let his wish come true. I must solve the problem of losing control of my magic power as soon as possible and leave here.

"So, Mr. Li En Moria, please don't feel any psychological burden. All you need to do is have a child with me and register for marriage. You will still be free in the future. I will pursue the magic that I love and will not disturb your life."

Li En was very surprised.

Could this be the reason why King Augustus Frank was so eager to attack the Azure Dragon Court? Did he want to return and raise an army with Dorothy?
But Dorothy only wanted to have one child, so the two had a falling out?

No, why didn't Augustus Frank stabilize Dorothy and have a child with her first?

Could it be that Augustus Frank has something to hide?
Damn it, now wasn't the time to be thinking about this.

If Augustus Frank knew that he had married his childhood sweetheart and had a child, he would kill himself even if the Pope didn't.

"Ms. Hall, thank you for your honesty, but having a child with me is not a wise decision. You must be aware that our branch has been cursed for holding the Eye of the Future for so long, right?"

"Yes, I know. I'm a witch, so it won't have any effect. Our child will be healthy and have magical powers."

"Yes, if I had only suffered one curse, perhaps our child would be healthy and full of magical power. But now I bear two curses. When Yusofa was fighting the evil god, I was cursed again. My offspring will most likely be a demon."

Li En said regretfully, hoping to use this to erase Dorothy's idea of ​​using him to bear a child.

But Dorothy's eyes lit up slightly.

"You may not know this, but I'm a demon contractor. I'm naturally good at taming all kinds of demons. If our child is a demon, it would be a very interesting thing for me."

Li En's mouth twitched. How could he have forgotten this? Dorothy wasn't afraid of demons. Even if she gave birth to a bunch of little demons, she could handle it.

"Mr. Li En Moria, if you have any other concerns, you can tell me."

Dorothy said considerately that she was not one to force others.

Although she had no feelings for Li En, she simply regarded Li En as a person who was in debt.

But she is still very polite and frank, which is her cultivation.

"Miss Hall, having a child is not easy. I'm not ready to be a father yet, and I don't know how to explain it to Catherine."

"Bigamy is not illegal under the laws of the Holy Empire. Her only loss may be not being able to inherit your property, but she probably won't live long enough to see that day. If you need me to explain, I can tell her in person that your feelings belong only to her. You simply gave me an identity and a child."

Li En felt a little embarrassed by Dorothy's thoughtfulness.

Didn’t he just want to have a test-tube baby and he happened to be chosen?

Do you have to make things so difficult for her?

Li En complained in his heart, but still felt some resistance in his heart.

Because this is not just a simple sex, it requires a registered marriage, and Earl Hall will never allow his outstanding daughter not to have a wedding.

Marrying Dorothy would mean offending the highest-ranking man in the Holy Empire and all the noble young men in the Holy Empire.

Li En certainly wouldn't care about them, but Li En cares about Catherine and Sophie.

Catherine is his fiancée and Sophie is his sweetheart.

What will they think?
"We can divorce when the baby is born."

Dorothy looked at Li En's embarrassment and said directly,

"Theoretically, you can still get half of my assets."

It would be a lie to say I'm not moved.

Isn’t this the life Li En has always longed for?
Of course, the premise is that he can successfully pass the final trial.

"Miss Hall, I will be going to the Supreme Court tomorrow. If my final verdict is heresy, you and your future children will also be implicated."

"I think I'm capable of protecting myself and my child, and I'll leave here and start a new magical pursuit."

Dorothy looked at Li En who was blind.

She was very satisfied with Li En's current condition. He was a blind man and could not see her at all.

Then no matter what I do now, he won't be able to see it.

Thinking of this, Dorothy, who has always been very polite, had a book in her hand.

How can aristocratic couples quickly have a child?

The title of this book is very easy to understand and can cleverly make up for Dorothy's shortcomings in this aspect.

She didn't need to worry about Li En seeing her. She would read the book and practice at the same time to ensure success in one go and complete the debt collection.

In other words, she had no intention of giving Li En the chance to refuse from the very beginning, and the reason she explained so much to Li En was purely out of politeness.

"I have to be honest with you. I can't guarantee that you can pass the trial. That's why I'm here. We're all out of time."

Dorothy flipped through the book in her hand, studying the pictures inside carefully.

She did not regard it as a pornographic book, but simply thought of it as a way to study knowledge and save herself, so she did not blush or feel nervous.

"Being blind shouldn't affect that ability, right?"

Dorothy asked suddenly.

"Of course not. But aren't you worried that I might be contaminated by the evil god?"

"No, I smell something on you. You are not contaminated. You may be connected to the Eye of Doom, but it's not a big deal."

Dorothy said without raising her head. She found that she quite enjoyed reading this easy-to-understand book. The knowledge in it opened the door to a new world for her.

In fact, Dorothy initially thought that she didn't need to say too much to Li Enmoriah. As long as the other party knew her identity, he would not hesitate. After all, most of the rumors about this new upstart in the empire were negative, and the saying that "the Moria family is naturally romantic and can't walk when they see beautiful women" was also widely circulated in the imperial capital.

But Li En's questions, one after another, revealed his inner resistance, which just proved that he was different from the rumors, and he did have deep feelings for Catherine.

Dorothy is not one to get involved in other people's feelings.

"Mr. Li En Moriah, if you still don't agree, I will have no choice but to hypnotize you and forcibly collect the debt. Afterwards, I will erase your memory, and you will be able to face your fiancée without any worries."

That’s all we have to say...

In short, whether he agreed or not, Dorothy had to do it.

"No, I can cooperate with you if you are sure you really want to do this."

"It seems our communication was effective. I'm glad you figured it out without me forcing you."

Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she waved her hand, and a magic barrier rose from the ground, surrounding the entire living room.

This will ensure that no one outside can enter the living room and disturb them.

Li En, noticing something unusual, asked, "Aren't you going to the bedroom?"

"I think it's a little inconvenient for a blind person to walk around, so it's better to stay here."

Dorothy said without any concern.

"Let's get started. Since you can't see, I can guide you."

Before Dorothy could finish her words, she was knocked down by Li En.

She was obviously overthinking it.

Li En is experienced and impeccable in this regard.

Even richer than the books she read.

45 minute later.

“Will we succeed?”

"Not sure, but we have all day."

Fia and Annie were outside the barrier and could not see what was happening in the living room.

Anne made breakfast but was blocked from entering by a barrier.

Anne made lunch but was blocked from entering by a barrier.

Anne cooked dinner, still isolated by the barrier.

"How long are they going to talk? Aren't they going to eat?"

Anne was a little angry.

Fia, who was reading a book, slowly raised her head and asked Annie in confusion,
"Has it been a long time?"

"Yes, High Priest Fia, it is already evening."

Anne reminded.

Feiya continued to read the book with her head down, and she forgot the time in the book.

Anne sighed helplessly and could only continue to guard outside the barrier.

I don’t know what secrets these two are talking about. It takes so long. It can’t be that they are having a baby, right?

"Miss Maid, please stop hanging around in front of me. You're disturbing me while I'm reading."

Fia pushed up her reflective glasses and said calmly.

Anne bit her lip and asked uneasily,

"The witch won't harm Lord Li En, will she?"

"It's unlikely. His Excellency Lee En Moriah will appear in the Supreme Court tomorrow. Miss Hall wouldn't be so reckless."

Fia said without looking up.

"Then what is her purpose in coming to see Master Li En?"

Anne asked.

"I do not know."

Fia inexplicably recalled what happened between her and Li En on the first night in the castle.

Her sixth sense is never wrong.

She looked back at the living room, but the barrier blocked her view and blocked out the sounds from inside.

Feiya was thoughtful.

"Miss Maid, can I ask you a question?"

Anne nodded slightly, "Great Priest Feia, may I ask?"

"Why do young men and women always chase after love?"

At this moment, Fia was like an ignorant philosopher who wanted to explore the true meaning of life.

Anne was stunned. She thought for a few seconds and replied,

"Because love is addictive. No one can resist the sweetness of love."

"Sweet? Love is sweet?"

“Yes, there is bitterness sometimes.”

"Can you describe it in detail?"

Fia held her chin with one hand and looked at Anne. Although she was much older than Anne, she looked more like a young girl who was not very worldly-wise at the moment, her eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

Anne also had a rare opportunity to teach students. She placed the plate on the table beside her and said seriously,
"When two people in love are together, there will be a heartbeat. Physical contact and conversation will make each other feel happy. This is sweetness."

“When two people who love each other are forced to separate, they will constantly miss each other. If they can never meet again, then the sweet memories of the past will become the sharpest blade that pierces the heart. This is bitterness.”

"Miss Maid, you look very experienced. Are you in love with Mr. Li En Moriah?"

Fia asked.

Anne's cheeks flushed red, and she immediately denied it, "No, I didn't. It's impossible for me to fall in love with Master Li En."

"why?"

"Because I am Annie, and Annie will never fall in love with Lord Li En. Only Anna will."

Anne said stubbornly.

Then she asked Fia,

"And you? Are you in love with Lord Li En?"

"No, I don't think I can love anyone."

Fia suddenly felt a little lost. She felt that she was different from the people around her and was an outlier.

Annie was slightly stunned. This sentence confirmed what Li En said before, that everything between him and High Priest Fia was a transaction.

Since High Priest Fia doesn't love Li En, this is good news for Annie.

Her mood improved slightly.

"High Priest Fia, maybe you just haven't met that person yet."

"I think I've missed it."

Feiya said calmly. She thought of the young vampire.

Perhaps only that boy would love her so much regardless of anything, even though she is an outlier.

Anne seemed to see the loss in High Priest Fia's heart, and she said in a rare gentle tone,

"High Priest Fia, I think it's time for us to eat. There's no need to wait for those two people who are so engrossed in their conversation that they've lost track of time."

“That’s a great idea.”

Fia closed the book, took off her gold-rimmed glasses, wiped them with a handkerchief, and put them on again. Her eyes felt a little tired because what she was reading was not a popular novel or story collection, but a professional book on Vatican law.

She is fulfilling the duties of a defense lawyer, trying every possible way to find relevant legal provisions to exonerate Li En.

Feiya sat down at the long dining table.
"Miss Maid, you've been cooking all day, why don't you sit down and eat with me."

Anne nodded slightly and sat down opposite Fia.

The two of them ate together and discussed tomorrow's trial. The fire demon Cruz came uninvited and joined their dinner.

"Grand Priest Fia, can I attend tomorrow's Supreme Court?"

"Yes, Mr. Li En Moriah's situation is special. You can go with him. But you can only stay in the audience."

When Annie heard what High Priest Fia said, she suddenly felt very lucky, but also very unfortunate.

Because she will witness Li En's fate with her own eyes.

If Li En could successfully pass the trial and regain his freedom, Annie would be willing to be a four-star assassin for the rest of her life, no longer seek promotion, and be Li En's maid obediently.

If Li En fails to pass the trial and is eventually sent to the gallows or guillotine, Anne will also see him off, and then...

Thinking of this, Anne felt that she needed to write a suicide note and leave it to her sister.

She was ready to face her fate with Li En. She felt that she should leave a few words for her sister Anna, otherwise it would be too irresponsible.

As for Anna, she is so smart, I believe she can live well in Green Shade Territory by herself.

Fia looked at Anne, but she couldn't guess what the maid was thinking. Fia lacked the ability to empathize with others. This was not a dullness to emotions, but a lack of emotions.

Soon after she was born, her mother passed away and her father sent her to the church for training. She only returned home once every other year. She liked to keep all kinds of pets, not because she was emotionally rich, but because she always felt lonely.

But later, she found that even raising various pets could not fill the void in her heart.

She always treated her pets as objects and did not give them any real feelings.

Her heart seemed to be missing a piece, and nothing could fill it.

Only by reading various books, in words, and through other people's lives can she find a little comfort.

It's like a chicken kept in a cage. When it sees the chickens outside the cage running, it will feel motivated to live.

Fia felt that perhaps she was born to be a believer. Perhaps one day, when she was close enough to the God of Tiger, she could ask the God questions.

"God, why am I different from everyone else? Why am I so lonely?"

Maybe God would answer her and tell her that everyone is lonely, but the forms of loneliness are different.

"Oh, it's hard to imagine that the playboy from the Moria family actually has such a loyal maid. Were you thinking of committing suicide with him just now?"

The fire demon Cruz ruthlessly exposed Anne's thoughts while cutting the steak with a knife and fork.

This made Fia, whose thoughts were wandering, stunned for a moment. She had never thought that a person would not be able to live because of losing another person. Is this also the true meaning of love?

"No, I didn't think so."

Anne denied it, saying that she was unwilling to call it a love suicide, and at most she sacrificed it for loyalty.

There is no way Anne would fall in love with Lord Lee En Moriah, she is not Anna.

"Oh, you are such a stubborn guy. Don't you want to know what the illegitimate son of the Moria family is doing with my beautiful master? Haha, you definitely don't want to know." The fire demon Cruz showed an evil smile. He is now in the image of a maid, but still cannot hide his bad character as a demon.

Anne nursed the stranger directly and asked Fia,
"Grand Priest Fia, is there any hope for Lord Li En to be acquitted?"

"I'm not sure, but I can tell you good news."

"What good news?"

Anne looked at Fia expectantly.

"This morning, I conducted a comprehensive test on Mr. Li En Moriah, and the contamination on him has miraculously dissipated."

Fia said.

"That's great. Does that mean the charges against him are not valid?"

Anne's eyes flashed with joy.

"No, there are six charges against him. This is just the overturning of the first one."

Feiya lowered her head and continued eating.

Anne's eyes dimmed again.

"Don't worry. As long as this one is overturned, the others will be easy to follow and we can fight for them. The most difficult one is actually the blasphemy and the heresy of forging the Golden Goddess. There is no Golden Goddess under the angels of the God Tiger."

Fia has read all the books in the past two days, but has not found any information about the Golden Goddess. Even a similar image has never appeared around Tiger. This has become Fia's biggest distress.

Even if the previous charges were overturned, but this one was found guilty, Li En would still not be able to escape the fate of being sent to the gallows.

Fia felt a headache. She was not sure about her defense tomorrow. Just in this situation, Li En met Dorothy.

Fia didn't know what they were doing. Could the meeting bring about a turning point?

In fact, she thought Li En should go to see Grand Duke Moria instead of Dorothy Hall.

Perhaps, this is what is called love.

Dorothy Hall may have felt that Lean Moriah was beyond saving, so she came to see him and spent the night before he appeared in the Supreme Court.

"Haha, counterfeiting a god is already a crime of blasphemy. Moriah seemed quite interesting. It's a shame he died."

The fire demon Cruz muttered to himself because no one paid any attention to him.

"If this is the only charge, what will Lord Li En do?"

Anne demanded.

Fia raised her eyes and looked at Annie, "You will still die."

Anne put down her knife and fork, stood up, and went back to her room quietly.

Fia and the fire demon Cruz continued to enjoy their dinner.

"I smell Moriah on you too. Oh, my poor master, why did she choose such a philandering fiancé? The whole castle is filled with his people."

"At least you're not a demon."

Fia has seen the true identity of the fire demon Cruz.

The fire demon Cruz shrugged, removed the human skin he used to disguise himself, and turned into a goat-headed man with flaming horns on his head.

"Sorry, I'm a male and he can't attract me."

The goat-horned demon said.

"After dinner, you can leave. There is another demon in the castle, which will make my defense more difficult."

Fia was worried that the breath of the fire demon Cruz would remain here and attract the attention of the Holy See.

The flame demon Cruz shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can leave anytime. I'm just waiting for my master, Dorothy."

"I'll tell Dorothy I drove you away."

"What a cold and indifferent High Priest."

After the fire demon Cruz finished his dinner, he did not make trouble for himself and disappeared directly.

Feiya returned to the room.

That night, Fia couldn't sleep and couldn't fall asleep even when lying in bed.

She could always hear the rustling sound of Anne writing with a pen.

She guessed that Anne must be very worried about Lien Moriah. Perhaps this was the bond and emotion that should exist between normal people.

But Fia has no friends and no lover.

She could only do her best at the moment, continue reading books, and prepare for tomorrow's defense.

Li En and Dorothy were also unable to sleep.

It was not until the next morning that the church bells rang, awakening the sleeping imperial capital, Yalong City.

Magic pumpkin carriages poured into the streets, and the colorful sunlight formed rainbow bridges connecting one gorgeous castle after another. This was the prosperous magical capital, Yalong City.

Here are the most outstanding witches, priests and magic architects, the Imperial Weapon Protection Bureau and the highest institution of learning, the University of Arlan, the Sky City and the Supreme Court of Justice.

The church bell rang three times, the Supreme Court bell rang six times, and the bell of the King's Bell Tower in the Sky City rang twelve times, indicating that the highest level trial was about to begin in Yalong City.

The sound woke up the witch Dorothy who was sleeping on the sofa.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the handsome boy beside her.

"you are leaving?"

Li En also opened his eyes. Although he couldn't see, he could still feel the girl beside him.

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Dorothy sat up from the sofa and put on her coat. "I hope you can get through this. I won't be attending the trial."

"Well, will we meet again?"

"We will meet twice more, to get engaged and married."

"Well, take care of yourself."

Li En said with concern.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, Dorothy will soon be pregnant with her own child.

He was indeed not ready to be a father, and he felt complicated and uneasy.

But Dorothy obviously didn't want him to witness her becoming a father, as the time for their meeting was arranged so tightly.

The relationship between the two is like that of a simple creditor and debtor.

"I will."

Dorothy left satisfied, believing that her crisis would soon be over.

She left Castle Kaden, and the fire demon Cruz was waiting for his master outside the castle.

The goat-horned devil helped Dorothy onto the pumpkin carriage.

"Oh, Dorothy, you failed."

"what?"

Dorothy looked at Cruise in surprise.

"Don't you know that women have to have a specific time to reproduce?"

Cruz looked at Dorothy with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Dorothy covered her forehead with her hands. She really lacked common sense in this area. She was a genius in magic, but she was extremely lacking in common sense in life.

However, the book "How Noble Couples Can Quickly Have a Child" does not explain that this requires a special period for women.

Dorothy's face suddenly turned red.

She couldn't imagine herself finding Li En again and telling him that she was sorry, and that all her efforts of the previous day had been wasted because of her lack of common sense.

"I won't believe you, lying Cruz."

Dorothy said stubbornly.

"I really didn't lie to you this time. This is common sense."

Cruise couldn't hold back his laughter. He didn't feel sorry for Dorothy at all. He loved seeing her get humiliated. It was a joy to make a magical genius like Dorothy get humiliated. At least for him, that was the case.

"But I clearly feel that I am different from before."

Dorothy stroked her belly with both hands and felt it was bloated. Could this be pregnancy?

"Of course it's different. You're no longer a magical girl."

Cruz raised an eyebrow.

"Then what am I?"

"You are Li En Moriah's woman."

"So, do you think he'll cooperate with his woman and do it again?"

Dorothy asked tentatively.

Cruz nodded. "Under normal circumstances, it should be possible, but your situation is special."

"why?"

Dorothy rested her chin on one hand, leaning against the window, watching the scenery passing by outside the carriage.

"Because he's about to die, and he has a group of people waiting to comfort him: the maid beside him, his fiancée who will soon arrive in Yalong City, and Nancy Scalia, the most beautiful woman in the South. How could he have time to give you his time?"

"In theory, as long as I don't get pregnant, he still owes me the debt."

Dorothy comforted herself.

On the other side, Li En, Annie and Fia have appeared in the Supreme Court.

Fia used a special connecting channel to go directly to the courtroom without wasting time going anywhere.

The Supreme Court was packed.

Grand Duke Moria was also sitting among them. This was the first time he saw his grandson Lee En Moria in real life.

Grand Duke Moria is quite satisfied with his grandson.

Apart from the fact that he provoked the evil god, he was a leader among the younger generation in terms of appearance, temperament and talent, even leaving others far behind.

In addition to the Moria family, people from the Hall family were also there.

Earl Hall had not yet set out for the Azure Dragon Court, but with the intention of meeting his future son-in-law, he took some time out of his busy schedule and sat in the voting booth.

He actually had a bad relationship with Grand Duke Moria, but he didn't understand why his daughter had to choose this Li En Moria.

If it weren't for the Eye of the Future, Earl Hall would never give in.

The presence of the Duke and the Earl created such a powerful aura that the nobles present dared not speak.

The courtroom is composed of a presiding judge, a jury, a voting booth, a witness booth, an audience booth, and an area for the defendant.

The presiding judge of the first round of secular trials was the young king, Augustus Frank, who had not yet been awarded the title of emperor.

The jury consisted of Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall. In theory, Grand Duke Moria should have recused himself, but as long as he was there, no one had a higher status than August Frank, so he naturally sat in the jury seat next to August.

Moreover, the jury can only make opinions and cannot vote or influence the final trial results.

The voting booth held 200 imperial nobles, all of whom were powerful figures from the central government. There were practically no local nobles. Even those who had come to watch the excitement could only sit in the audience and were not eligible to vote. They were the ones who would truly decide the fate of Li En's secular trial.

The witnesses were the nobles and knights who were saved by Li En during the Evil God Yusofa's arrival. Half of them belonged to Yusofa, and the other half were from Rose Territory.

The person on trial was naturally Li En.

Li En stood in the dock and saw so many big figures in the empire for the first time.

In front of me are densely packed green advanced entries and silver extraordinary entries, which proves that there are too many talented people gathered here.

The king in the front, Augustus Frank, has three silver entries.

[King of the Holy Empire] [Sequence 1 Holder] [Silver Follower]

And many green advanced entries.

Although his entry is not as stunning as Mary's, it also proves that he is a good enough emperor.

Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall were also there, which surprised Li En a little. The entries of these two big men were also surprising. Like Mary, they were both Seven-Star Order Knights.

Previously in the dream world, Li En was so focused on Grand Duke Moria’s appearance that he didn’t notice his entry.

Now no one's appearance can be seen, and the entries have nowhere to hide, and they all appear.

It was like Li En was playing a word game, only looking at the text description to identify the person in front of him.

Augustus Frank also looked at Li En with great interest. He didn't know about Dorothy and Li En yet, so he felt that Li En was a chess piece that could be used. He could use him to suppress Mary and take Sequence 5 back from Mary.

The bells of judgment rang out again, their deep and solemn sound echoing off the stone walls.

The iron gate slowly opened, and a solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated this space forged by power and faith.

Everyone stood in silence. In this solemn courtroom, the atmosphere was as heavy as touchable frost.

Augustus Frank, clad in a scarlet robe and a golden crown, sat majestically on a high throne. His young face exuded the aura of a superior, his eyes sharp and deep, completely unlike that of a teenager.

Suddenly, loud singing broke the silence of the courtroom.

That is the national anthem of the Holy Empire, with a majestic melody and passionate lyrics.

Everyone sang in unison, and the sound merged into a powerful force that seemed to shake every heart.

The men's voices were deep and powerful, the women's voices were as clear as silver bells, the children's voices were pure and flawless, and the old man's voices were weathered but still firm, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, which brought a small shock to Li En, who had very keen hearing.

He didn't know that the imperial nobles were so good at singing in chorus.

As the last note fell, the lingering sound of the national anthem slowly dissipated in the air.

The courtroom fell silent again, and August Frank's magnetic voice rang out.

"The trial of the Evil God Yusofa's birth has officially begun. Please ask the priest to read out the charges."

High Priest Karl stood up, bowed to the young king, and said in a resounding voice,

"In the Yusofa incident, Green Shade Lord Moria committed five crimes."

"First, the sin of pollution by the evil god. If you are polluted by the evil god, there is a chance that you will become a carrier of the evil god and bring disaster to the world again.

“Second, heresy, spreading the Golden Goddess that has nothing to do with the God of Tiger, attempting to subvert the people’s faith.

“Third, the crime of dereliction of duty. As the governor of Yusofa, I plunged the entire Yusofa into an evil crisis, nearly killing hundreds of thousands of people.

"Fourth, they obstructed Saint Raymond's purification formation and instigated the Green Shade Territory witch, Sophie Oma, to hinder the formation's progress.

"Fifth, to increase the risk to national security, all 10 people in Yusof must be baptized and purified by the clergy to ensure they are no longer contaminated.

"In addition, we discovered a new crime committed by Lee En Moriah: the crime of raising a demon..."

"Lean Moriah, do you plead guilty?"

Everyone in the courtroom looked at the blond-haired, blue-eyed upstart of the empire, Lee En Moriah.

This is already a heinous crime, and any one of them is enough to sentence Lee En Moria to death.

In the history of the Holy Empire, no one has ever been able to accumulate so many crimes.

Li En also glanced at them lightly. Although he couldn't see, he could still find Annie through the entry and smiled at her.

"I plead not guilty. I am innocent."

Annie clenched her hands, feeling nervous for the first time. It felt like she was the one in the dock, not Li En.

As Li En said that he was not guilty, there was an uproar at the scene.

The nobles in the voting booths and the gallery were in an uproar.

"Oh my God, he actually said he was not guilty. No matter which one of these charges is a heinous crime."

"Yes, that's ridiculous. Could it be that the Vatican would wrongly accuse him?"

"Is this the first time in 300 years that someone has interfered with Saint Raymond's purification formation?"

The nobles in the witness box shouted in unison, "Lord Lee En Moriah is not guilty! Lord Lee En Moriah is not guilty! Lord Lee En Moriah is not guilty!"

Attitudes are almost polarized.

Earl Hall stroked his beautiful mustache and looked at Grand Duke Moria.

"Grand Duke Moria, I heard that it was you who stopped Saint Raymond's purification formation."

"I just gave the Pope some advice."

"It seems that you think highly of Li En Moriah. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be on the Moriah family tree and is an illegitimate bloodline."

"Even if he is of illegitimate blood, he is still a member of our Moria family."

"Haha, that's not necessarily the case."

Earl Hall planned to tell Grand Duke Moria later about letting Li En Moria marry into the Hall family.
