Reject me, you damn woman.

"Since His Highness Lynn's trial of His Highness Zevis was reasonable and in line with the will of the people, then the murder charge is not established and he should be innocent."
Quevedo pronounced the verdict, and under the powerful magic, people inside and outside the imperial city heard the decision.
Warm cheers rang out from outside the palace, and even many people in the throne room couldn't help but smile. Elena and Historia looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Hedwig held her chest tightly, trying to slow down her heartbeat and stay calm.
As expected of you, His Highness Lin En. No wonder you insist on using the power of judgment you have given to give Zervis a fair death. Did you even take this into account?
Does that mean I can get through this safely... No, that's not right. Although Behrens may seem careless, he is actually very thoughtful. I can't relax yet. What exactly did His Highness Lin En say I can do?
Hedwig thought she seemed to have some idea.
In the witness stand, Olar couldn't help but cheer, but unfortunately, after losing his witness status, the two guards were already eyeing him covetously behind him.
"Drag it away!"
Behrens gave a loud order, and two guards carried the artist who had completed the ultimate art out of the tribunal. Well, because of the Howling Tribunal, Olar would face very severe punishment next, such as... a fine or something.
In the peaceful atmosphere, it seemed that only two people did not laugh.
One was Behrens, the other was Lynn himself.
Lynn stared at the former silently.
Your Highness Behrens,
您,
There are other ways, right?
He is still provoking me?!
Berens' eyes were red with anger. He did not feel upset for a moment about the failure of his second report. He immediately spoke up and stated his third accusation:
"I want to report Lynn Norton for the third crime!"
Lynn's eyes lit up again.
"Please speak, Your Highness Berens."
Quevedo on the judgement bench listened attentively, Hilteria also had a serious expression, and Berens could hardly hide the joy in his heart.
Because if the first two charges seemed a bit far-fetched, then the third charge had solid evidence!
"I want to expose Lynn Norton for maliciously disrupting the imperial election!"
Berens smiled triumphantly.
"Disrupting the imperial election?"
Quevedo was startled.
"Your Highness Berens, this is not a small crime. Are you sure?"
Hilteria hesitated:
"Behrens, you............."
"Hilteria, are you going to say I'm wrong again?!"
Berens glared.
He has been denied by this imperial sister for a whole day!
Hilteria was silent for a while:
"You are really wrong this time, because I actually want to ask you, do you have any evidence?"
"Well, of course there is this,"
Berens coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment, then said proudly,
"This time, I have a witness!"
Hilteria looked solemn.
Because theoretically speaking, Lin En did do a lot of things to disrupt the imperial election, but I don’t know to what extent Behrens’ evidence has reached.
More importantly, the "witnesses" that Hilteria had prepared and contacted had already been used in the first two defenses.
Exhausted.
That is to say, next, facing Behrens' interrogation, she would have to improvise.
She glanced at Lin En, but found that he was not nervous at all. Instead, he looked relieved, which made Hilteria even more confused.
"Your Highness Berens, now please state the specific crimes of His Highness Lin En and call witnesses."
Quevedo said.
The light in Lin En's eyes grew brighter, Hilteria's pensive expression grew darker, and Berens' smile grew more smug, as he said loudly:
"Of course, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, I want to report Lynn Norton for openly and illegally contacting the church's ruling nuns during the royal election and trying to undermine the relationship between our two countries!"
An eerie silence fell.
Hilteria's thoughts froze, the light in Lynn's eyes disappeared, and his face turned ashen.
"What did you say you wanted to report?"
Hilteria said with a strange expression.
Behrens snorted:
"Report Lynn Norton for contacting the church's ruling sisters and trying to undermine our two countries..."
"puff!"
"Hilteria, what are you laughing at again?!"
Behrens was furious.
"I thought of something happy, you continue."
Hilteria said.
With a cold snort, Behrens didn't care. Anyway, every charge he prepared for Lin En was fatal.
As long as one of them succeeds, he can be ruined. Even if they don't dare to really take his life, it is still possible to make him leave Fire Rose in disgrace.
Moreover, the light in Lynn Norton's eyes was gone, and it was obvious that he was afraid!
You have to know that the secret fire was originally an internal matter of Fire Rose, and the church had no right to come here. It was only after he made a special invitation that he was able to contact the people of the church.
I didn't expect the people in the church to be so easy to talk to, and they were even very enthusiastic about trying Lynn Norton.
Berens was a little confused at first, but the other party actually signed the temporary mutual assistance agreement he had drawn up for the insurance period, which dispelled his doubts.
It’s definitely stable this time!
"Call witnesses."
Under Quevedo's verdict, a new witness came in. She was a pretty little nun of young age. She wore a loose and simple nun's uniform. Her bright eyes looked around the throne room curiously. It was Celitia's attendant nun, Martina.
"Child who believes in God, are you here as a witness on behalf of the great God's believers?"
Quevedo asked kindly.
Martina recalled how the other senior nuns, upon learning that Lynn might be put on trial, collectively drew their weapons, and were barely stopped by Sister Nina.
"Yes, Your Majesty, on behalf of the Church of Mother Earth, I am invited by His Highness Berens to respond to your inquiry."
The little nun humbly said,
"But before that, please allow me to convey the will of the bishop I serve, Lady Celitia."
These words immediately caused a murmur and dissatisfaction, and even Quevedo frowned.
You know, this is the sacred court of the Fire Rose Empire.
Moreover, the little nun appeared as a witness.
When the other party appeared, he not only did not perform his duties, but instead conveyed his intentions in a tone that seemed humble but was actually condescending.
Lynn took the opportunity to fan the flames:
"Even if it's the Church of Mother Earth, isn't it a little too arrogant?"
His words immediately resonated with many people:
"It would be fine if Bishop Celitia herself came. You are just an attendant nun. If you want to convey Bishop Celitia's will, you have to wait until you have fulfilled your duty as a witness, right?"
"That's right, what does the Earth Mother Cult think this place is?"
"Shut up, everyone,"
Just when Quevedo was hesitant, Berens stood up and said:
"We are asking for help now. Does your attitude look like you are asking for help?"
As he said this, Behrens tried hard not to laugh.
Because he had already seen that among those who were leading the pace, the most enthusiastic one was Lin En himself!
He must have realized that his deception of the church had been exposed and was panicking, right?
Lynn Norton, are you ever scared?
Then he, Behrens, must help out!
After hearing this, the voices of dissatisfaction indeed decreased a little.
After all, whether it is the trial at this time or the imperial election, it can be regarded as the empire asking the church for help.
It is reasonable to lower your attitude.
After scolding everyone, Behrens turned to the little nun:
"Ms. Martina, please convey Lady Celitia's oracle as much as you can. It is our honor to listen to his oracle in person."
"Thank you for your help. I will keep it in mind."
The little nun said politely.
"You're welcome. Please read the oracle as soon as possible. That will be the best reward for me."
The little nun nodded:
"Then... as you wish."
The young face suddenly became serious, and he clasped his hands in front of him. He turned behind him, and his young eyes suddenly became holy and arrogant, as if a majestic and noble angel was looking down at the world, and said:
"In the name of Archbishop Celitia, the Head of the Hound Sisters, the Candidate for the Butcher, I declare that I will protect this place. From now on, any attempt to harm Lynn Norton will be regarded as an 'enemy of God.'"
Quevedo was stunned, the jury was stunned, Hilteria laughed heartily, and Lynn didn't know what expression to use to deal with it.
Only Berens looked stunned and asked dully:
"Ms. Martina, this seems to conflict with the mutual assistance agreement signed between Lady Celitia and I, right?"
"That's right, Your Highness Berens,"
The little nun looked at Berens, bowed and said:
"The second sentence Lady Celitia asked me to convey is also for you alone."
"what did she say?"
Berens said subconsciously.
"She said,"
Then, Sister Martina imitated Celitia's indifferent and noble demeanor in front of outsiders, folded her hands in front of her, and smiled peacefully:
"I can't read."
.......
ps: Please update at this time in the future. Although it is not the same place, it is the same time, my dear friends!
