"And you will become a true magician after this!"

"I, Plerati, keep my word!"

After saying this, the purple-haired girl walked away.

She completely disappeared into the corridor, as if she had never been there.

A vicious curse spread throughout the night.

That was the madness coming from Plerati - she was absolutely determined to destroy Joan of Arc!

[After that, Pulelati never appeared in front of you again.]

[She seemed to have disappeared from this world along with the evil that day.]

[And you were unable to break through the prison's blockade of you and Jeanne.]

[You and Jeanne have been imprisoned here for more than a month.]

【She spent her eighteenth birthday in prison.】

[King Charles VII, upon learning that you were captured, made repeated demands for your redemption—he was even willing to cede an entire city for this.]

【But the English rejected his request without hesitation. 】

[They continue to hold you and Joan of Arc in custody, claiming that God's will should also come to England.]

【Another year has passed. 】

[You worked hard and finally broke through the magic shackles of the prison. 】

【But all this has become meaningless at this moment. 】

【Because the English announced a decision that evening. 】

them--

Joan of Arc must be put on trial!

213. Joan of Arc's Long Confession of Love/The Shattered Judgment/The Growing Girl (4k)

【This is an unexpected trial. 】

【The English actually decided to conduct a moral trial on the French saint in their own territory.】

[No matter how you think about it, this is an extremely absurd thing. ]

[But no one in England or Burgundy doubted this.]

【After a long period of propaganda, Joan of Arc was no longer a hero in their eyes, but an extremely corrupt heretic.】

[You realize that you must tell Jeanne how to respond.]

The night before the trial.

Ian and Joan were transferred to a new prison.

This was a show by the court - they wanted everyone in England to know that this was a reasonable and flawless trial.

Clean cells like this one are an extremely necessary part of this.

Faced with such an environment, Ian didn't feel comfortable at all.

He just wanted to explain to his adopted sister Joan of Arc how to deal with this doomed unfair trial tomorrow.

"Jeanne, listen to me..."

[You and Jeanne discussed many countermeasures.]

【She also took note of everything you mentioned very carefully. 】

【But you also noticed that something was wrong with her expression. 】

You realize that she seems to have some ideas of her own.

"..."

Ian looked at his sister in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke gently:

"Jeanne, do you... have anything to say to me?"

Hearing her sworn brother's voice, Joan of Arc was silent for a long time before she responded in a low voice.

"Brother...you said it's best not to answer questions that involve me personally."

"But if——"

"I know the answer to that question? Shouldn't I answer it, too?"

"..."

[You realize that Joan of Arc has her own unique obsession with certain things.]

[This is quite contradictory - the more you say, the more likely you are to get into a dangerous situation, but if you say less, it may go against her original intention.]

【You thought about it for a long time but still couldn't get a suitable answer. 】

[Until Jeanne touched your hand.]

"elder brother……"

The blonde girl asked worriedly, blinking her beautiful blue eyes.

"Did I say something really stupid?"

"If that's the case...I'm sorry."

"..."

Ian looked at Joan of Arc who was apologizing to him, and his expression looked quite uncomfortable.

What did my sister do wrong?

Should I endure this kind of pain just because I'm too kind?

"No." Ian touched his sister's head with a trembling hand.

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault."

"Well...if you really feel it is necessary to say it at that time-"

"Then say it."

"Brother will support you at all times."

【You don’t know whether what you are doing is right or wrong. 】

[But you know that respecting her opinion is what you should do as a brother.]

【You spent a difficult night with anxiety. 】

[The next day, the trial came as scheduled. ]

[You and Jeanne were taken to two completely different places. ]

"sit down."

The two English soldiers holding Ian said so.

But Ian himself looked at the position in front of him, feeling a little confused.

"Are you... not mistaken?"

"I sit here?"

Just as the boy was surprised.

It is obvious that he and his sister are both "prisoners" imprisoned.

At this moment, he can sit in the place with the widest view - that is a seat that can have a clear view of the trial scene.

This is too abnormal.

"Yes, according to the Archbishop, you should sit here."

After the English soldier said this, he did not answer any more questions.

俅【You realize that this is a position specially arranged for you. 】

【Someone wants you to witness the entire trial process. 】

[You soon realize who has this idea—it’s François Plehrati.]

【Where is she? ! 】

Before Ian could find Pulelati, a commotion broke out at the trial scene.

Joan of Arc appeared in everyone's sight - and behind her were two English soldiers.

No.

To be more precise, he should be a magician.

In order to ensure that there would be no problems in this trial, the judges made every effort and even invited a magician for this purpose.

In this stressful environment, Joan of Arc was brought to the trial.

Her expression looked very nervous, and her hands, which were resting on the seat, were shaking constantly.

In this situation, Ian couldn't help but feel a little more distressed for her.

Fortunately-

The position where he sat was too special.

This allowed Joan of Arc to recognize her sworn brother at a glance.

And at the moment when the two looked at each other, no matter how noisy the environment was, it could not affect them.

Don't be afraid...my brother is with me.

The girl realized this and became brave.

Her hands no longer trembled, and there was a bit more determination in her eyes as she looked towards the court.

That's a sign of no longer being afraid.

[The change in demeanor is the easiest thing to notice.]

[The people who watched the trial soon began to talk about it.]

[They looked at the girl standing alone in the sight of everyone, and their attitudes were surprisingly more approving.]

[But this was not the result theologians wanted - they wanted the people of England to see Joan of Arc trembling with fear, but now it had the opposite effect.]

[Angry and humiliated, they immediately started the trial process.]

A gray-haired Grand Inquisitor picked up the folded parchment in front of him.

He took a look at the content above, and then spoke in a very serious tone:

"Jeanne d'Arc."

"Is that your name?"

"Yes." Joan of Arc responded neither arrogantly nor humbly.

"Hmm..." The Chief Inquisitor snorted coldly, then looked at the parchment in his hand.

His eyes finally stopped on a line of words.

"Jeanne d'Arc."

"Do you admit that you, as a pastor, married your adopted brother?"

"Wow--!"

[The words from the Grand Inquisitor instantly ignited the emotions of those present.]

[If a person is a pastor, he/she should not marry his/her brother-it is against the teachings of the church.]

[Public opinion against Joan of Arc suddenly became radical.]

[But you are more concerned about another thing - how did the Inquisition know all this? ]

Your brain starts to work quickly.
