"I know this man!" said one of the monks in the audience, standing up and exclaiming, "He is always in the library of the monastery!"

An old monk glared at the speaker, and said slowly, "Could it be some misunderstanding, the Monastery of San Sidro has never had such arsonists. ”

The knight nodded to the sergeant behind him, who opened the sack in his hand and poured out the contents.

Flintstones, kerosene cans, flaming paper and other items fell to the ground, causing an uproar in the audience.

Karin, who was woken up by the hustle and bustle, opened her eyes in a daze, shook her head with a splitting headache, and sat up straight. The monk's hood slipped from the top of his head to his shoulders, and his long black hair was exposed to everyone's attention.

"It's a woman!"

"The monk in this monastery is actually a woman!"

The shouts and laughter were incessant, and the eyes of the people looked at the monks with an indescribable evil taste.

The monks were flushed and silent, and some covered their faces with robes.

However, there was a man in the audience who, after seeing Karin's appearance, did not join the heckling procession, but instead found the personnel of the Inquisition and whispered something.

The staff of the Inquisition hurriedly walked to the judgment seat, put their mouths to Father Paul's ear, and whispered for a while.

The interrogator, who was originally sluggish and depressed, gradually brightened up in his eyes, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, jumped up from the ground, grabbed the shoulders of the person next to him, and asked excitedly, "Really?!"

After receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, Paul walked up to Todd with great interest, looked into the other party's eyes, and asked in a loud voice, "Todd, do you know this woman?"

Is the defendant related to this woman pretending to be a monk?

The voices in the hall all faded to nothing because of the question of the arraignator.

The interviewee did not answer his question, but focused all his attention on the arson suspect and remained silent.

The priest took another step closer to the monk and whispered, "A woman who pretends to be a member of the clergy will be burned at the stake!"

Todd's eyes moved.

Paul took a step back and asked in a loud voice, "Then I'll change the question, this woman, but you took it to the convent?!"

The arraignator's question made the people in the audience whisper.

Karin, who gradually understood the current situation and her own situation, shook her head anxiously, wanting to take all the responsibility on herself, and shouted, "No!

Todd closed his eyes in pain.

Queen Mary glanced at the woman sitting on the ground, and then at the defendant on the high platform, and had a rough judgment of all this. He put the folding fan away in his hands and said softly, "Dead one or two?"

Leaving aside the crime of conspiracy to set fire, the article "a woman pretending to be a monk and trespassing into a monastery" alone can sentence her to death. The key question is, will Todd admit that he hid the woman in the convent?

If he did not admit it, the woman would naturally be put to death, and he would only be reproached in reputation, and if he did, then both would die.

So, it's a question of 'one or two'.

However, Queen Mary already had the answer in her heart.

Men have always been selfish animals.

Fathers, for the sake of the country, can sacrifice their daughters.

Brothers, for the sake of power, can abandon their sisters.

Husbands, for the sake of face, can humiliate their wives.

Man, nothing more.

The queen clenched the folding fan in her hand.

"That's right, this sister is the ...... I brought into the convent"

Wait a minute!

What did he just say?!

The queen stayed where she was, her folding fan falling to the ground in a daze.

Todd's words seemed to have broken open a huge hornet's nest, and the voices in the audience exploded, and everyone was in chaos. No one would have thought that the innocent person just now, the righteous alchemist, would actually hide a woman in the holy monastery!

People stood up and shouted accusations.

"Unclean!"

"Fall!"

Father Paul raised his hands and shouted to the heavens: "I declare that Todd, as a clergyman, has committed blasphemy!

Seeing Huggins and the 'acquaintances' at the door, Todd shook his head slightly. Karin's weeping face made him clench his fists. Although his face was calm, his chest was already full of anger, and his brain was spinning rapidly.

The accusations against Karin were something he had never anticipated. And the most troublesome thing is that the crime of "woman pretending to be a monk" is full of human and material evidence, and there is no possibility of overturning the case. But if Todd was asked to give up Karin and survive on his own, he would never be able to do this kind of thing, not only because they were partners with each other, but also because of his heart.

If you want to save Karin and protect yourself at the same time, I'm afraid you can only make dangerous moves and go off the rails......

Todd stepped down from the judgment seat and came to Karin, pointing at her and saying, "This is a godly woman, a faithful believer. ”

The girl who had made the remark of "painting the wall in anger" heard this, looked around suspiciously, and almost pointed to herself and asked the other party, "Are you talking about me?"

"Her soul longs for the Father, her flesh is devoted to the Holy Spirit, and she wants to see the power and glory of the Lord, for the supreme mercy is more precious than her life!" the monk's words made Karin frown deeply and forget to weep.

Todd hung his head and winked at the girl covertly, motioning for her to cooperate.

Karin, who suddenly realized, hurriedly crossed her fingers and placed them on her chest, posing as if she were praying.

Todd's voice grew louder and louder: "But such a pious woman, who wants to study the scriptures of theology and the philosophy of the sages, has been repeatedly turned away!

The monk waved his hand to the south: "To the south of us, in other countries of the same Western Diocese, convents and sisterhoods of the Father have been established for women who are dedicated to sainthood. And the church of the Kingdom of the Silver Ring, for hundreds of years, has kept women outside the door of the Father's sanctuary!"

"Heavenly Father teaches us that all men are equal, but what have we, the servants, done?

"So, she disguised herself and secretly lived in the monastery library, just to see the true face of the scriptures!"

Todd walked up to the monks, bowed his head sincerely to the elderly monks, and said, "I admit that it is wrong to take this woman to the convent without your permission. However, I think this belief in the Holy Path is incomparably correct!"

Seeing that the church, the monks and the rest of the crowd were affirming Todd's statement, Father Paul exclaimed: "Do not believe this absurdity, for it is unforgivable for men and women to do that kind of thing in the sanctuary of the Father......

"If I say that this woman is pure, that she is immaculate......" Todd looked into Paul's eyes, his face calm.

Paul, who was completely scoffed at this statement, gritted his teeth and creaked: "Pure, immaculate? I don't believe it! I'm going to find someone to test her chastity!"
