In Christina's opinion. She has been with Catherine all the time, of course, she can prove her innocence, but if something happens between two women, if you say it in public, it will obviously affect Catherine's reputation, so Christina used the right way that she thought was the last resort to prove Catherine's innocence, that is, to make up a lie. It is precisely because of this belief that Christina unknowingly conceals Catherine's whereabouts.

"Are you sure that everything you see is real, Christina?" Ryan saw the panic in Christina's eyes, he looked at Christina with his bright and clear gaze, and said loudly, "You know, sometimes, the eyes can deceive us, and for magicians only, there are many ways to do this, such as mirroring." ”

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, multiple mirror images appeared around him, and a total of four Ryan mirrors stood quietly in place, no matter how much everyone looked at it, they couldn't tell who was the real Ryan. Ryan showed them a full minute before the magic was removed, and then stood in front of Christina and said in a very flat tone, "If you don't think this proves anything, then I have another way." ”

"Humph!" Christina snorted heavily, but did not speak.

Ryan smiled at Christina and put his hands on his face, about ten seconds later, Ryan took off the magic mask of Fabia covering his face, revealing his true face, and Cristina witnessed this scene with her own eyes, she looked at the Fabia in front of her with incredible eyes in a moment to become Ryan, the first thought was that she was dazzled, but Christina rubbed her eyes vigorously, and shook her head vigorously, still found that the person wearing Fabia's clothes in front of her was the Ryan magician who had defeated her。

"You read that right, standing in front of you is Ryan of the Race Squad, whom we used to fight at Atlético Royale. Ryan shrugged his shoulders at Christina and said, "I was there when Catherine murdered Luke 3 years ago, because I was not as strong as her, I almost died, fortunately my teacher arrived in time, but unfortunately in the end I had to flee in embarrassment." ”

Ryan's words are actually incomplete, this is what several of them felt after careful discussion, if others knew that the archbishop of the dignified Church of Light, the head of the Royal Knights, the president of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild and other strong people actually made a lich become the queen of the human empire under their noses, this is really incredible, and Ryan They can't come up with strong evidence to prove Catherine's lich identity, can they use the lich conversion ceremony to restore Catherine again?

Therefore, at the suggestion of Dranay, Orlando and the others unanimously agreed to conceal part of the facts and lead the whole matter to the internal struggle for power in the imperial capital, although the latter will also cause dissatisfaction among many people, but it is easy to understand, and Orlando will personally select a member of the Fernando royal family to become the new king His Majesty, in order to continue to maintain the bloodline of this imperial royal family.

"The reason why I returned to the imperial capital under the pseudonym Fabia was because of Catherine. Ryan had already turned his gaze to the other members present: "Catherine murdered Luke and seized power, but fortunately Faras was able to fight Catherine with the help of Victor. This has been going on for 3 years, and I'm sure you've heard of it on a daily basis. ”

"I'm not like I'm incognito, but Catherine's power is too strong, my teacher hasn't been able to recover yet, and once I appear as Ryan, I'm afraid I'll be killed directly before I see Faras and reveal the truth of the whole thing, so I can only take this method. ”

"On the evening of the beginning of the new year this year, I deliberately showed my tracks to make others think that I had sneaked back to the imperial capital, and Catherine couldn't help but chase after me when she heard the news. ”

Ryan revealed the truth of the whole thing, only concealing Catherine's true identity, but this was enough, Christina's face was dead after listening to it, she couldn't believe that it was all true, but Ryan's words sounded so good that Christina couldn't find any place to refute it.

"Now that you understand what has happened, and why Catherine is no longer Her Majesty," Orlando said at the right time, "then you must be prepared to bear all these consequences if you have the courage to storm the barracks command center......

"Wait a minute!" Christina saw that Orlando was going to hold others accountable, and stepped forward without hesitation: "I said, I am responsible for everything tonight! They were instigated by me, and the whole thing was planned by me, and I will naturally bear the consequences." ”

"You're no longer a Holy Knight, Lady Christina. Bacon stood behind Orlando and said coldly, "What qualifications do you have to participate in the internal affairs of our Royal Knights?"

"You're not the head of the regiment, Bacon, and who are you to say that?" Christina said-for-tat, "I would never believe that beautiful avatar would do such a thing unless Her Majesty Queen Catherine personally admitted these accusations, and Ryan himself is the fiancé of Faraz, and Faraz is the sister of the wife of the head of Orlando, you can completely collude ......"

"Shut up!" Bacon was furious, and said that it was the first time he had heard someone slander Orlando like this, but before he could say anything, Orlando waved his hand lightly to stop him: "Let her continue, this is her right to plead." ”

In Christina's heart, she actually vaguely felt that what Ryan was accusing was true, but Christina couldn't accept the fact that Catherine was fighting for power at all, and she opened her mouth to say with the last bit of luck: "This is a political deal at all, you guys joined forces to force out Queen Catherine, and then monopolize power!"

"Is it all over?" Orlando looked at Christina's accusations calmly, and it wasn't until Christina looked at herself blankly that Orlando said, "I don't want to use words to justify your accusations, because they are redundant and meaningless." ”

After Orlando said this, his eyes closed slightly, and an extremely strong divine aura suddenly burst out from his body, and then everyone saw three pairs of looming white wings stretched out from behind Orlando, as if an Orlando angel descended that night.

When Orlando opened his eyes again, the wings behind him had slowly disappeared, but the shock brought to others by the scene just now was far from gone, and the camp that was originally a little noisy was completely quiet, because Orlando had already proved to everyone that he still had the power of a holy knight, and as a holy knight, if his heart deviated from his beliefs, these powers would disappear quickly, obviously Orlando did not have that situation.

"Now, Lady Christina, I give you a chance to plead your case, and although I have publicly stripped you of the honor of a holy knight, if you still have devotion to the gods in your heart, then you should still have the corresponding strength. I remember that you could have flashed the light before you were asked to protect Catherine, albeit with a faint effect. Now 3 or 4 years have passed, and even if you don't make any progress in strength, the power you already have should still exist, unless you have broken away from your beliefs. ”

Christina didn't say much, she fell to one knee on the ground, folded her hands on her left chest, closed her eyes and began to pray silently, Christina was one of the young generation of apprentice holy knights who had the power of a formal holy knight very early, and this was one of the reasons why Orlando cultivated her and selected her to participate in the Royal Athletic Competition.

In Christina's opinion, even if her strength has not increased much in recent years, her original strength will not weaken over time, unless she herself no longer believes in the gods. But when Christina had prayed for three full minutes, and the whole prayer in praise of the god of light had been recited silently, there was still no light on her, not even the faintest of kinds.

Christina's heart slowly began to sink because she knew she was finished. As a holy knight, Christina used to pray with only the ornate prayer and reverence for the god of light, but now, Christina spent a full 3 minutes doing this prayer, and her heart was still covered by Catherine's voice and smile, so that she did not think of anything else at all.

"How so!" Christina cried out, which meant that Christina's entire prayer had failed, because she was distracted, and God would not give his power to those half-hearted believers. Everyone present was in an uproar after seeing this scene, they didn't expect that today's protagonist Christina couldn't even do the simplest flash of holy light, many knights thought that this was Orlando deliberately interfering with Christina's prayer, but even if they just chanted the prayer silently in their hearts, they could reveal a faint holy light, which means that everything is normal here, and there can only be one explanation for everything, that is, Christina has fallen, and she has lost the protection of the gods.

"Lady Christina, now you are suspected of being involved in a number of murders with Catherine, including His Majesty the Imperial Monarch Fernando, the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer Luke, as well as the Grand Consul Farath and the Overlord of the Cassano Region, Lane," Orlando looked at Christina, who was kneeling on the ground and at a loss, with a pitying gaze, and said slowly, "Since you no longer speak of holy knights, and now you can only be bound by secular laws, I believe you will get a fair verdict." ”

After Orlando said this, he turned to Faraz and said, "Your Excellency, although Christina no longer belongs to the Royal Order, I do not want her to be treated unjustly, and I ask the Imperial Court to give her a fair trial. ”

Faraz nodded, but did not speak, in fact, if Christina didn't make trouble in the public today, then if she could repent, Orlando would not have treated her like this, but Christina herself hit her head, if she is not severely punished, I am afraid there will be no way to explain.

Looking at Christina, who was escorted down by several holy knights on duty, a bad omen vaguely appeared in the hearts of all the holy knights present: in the 200-year history of the Royal Knights, Christina was still the first knight to be tried by a secular court for her crimes because of her loss of faith.

This idea is so crazy that no one dares to say it, but it has taken root in the hearts of many knights with weak minds like a seed, and when the time is ripe, this vicious seed will surely grow rapidly, and may soon be able to open a small crack in the seemingly solid hearts of these holy knights who claim to have strong beliefs, and no matter how strong the fortress, its first step towards its destruction begins from this crack.
