The Lord Hall of the Black Blood Castle doubles as a restaurant, a conference room, and a casino, but this is the first time it has served as a hall of judgment. There was dried vomit on the stone floor, the stench of uncleaned dog feces in the corner, and the dark red mark under the window was unknown from a drunken fight. In short, this place is more than enough as a gladiatorial arena, but it is too child's play as a tribunal.

But His Royal Highness Prince Aaron sat on the only high-backed chair in the scene, looking at everyone without saying a word, so no one suggested a change of place.

When the paladins stood apart by the walls on either side, their pale golden cloaks as bright and bright as the morning sun, and the shields standing in front of them became filthy shields in the corners, the hall finally took on its appearance. The nobles who had been trapped here for a long time had been in a panic for a long time, and finally waited for this interesting thing. They whispered into the room, the smell of wine coming out of their mouths almost indistinctly.

"Silence!" Count Todd's voice echoed through the hall, and everyone else understood that they should shut up. As a result, there were other voices besides the earl. Evan was holding a flask and was helping his brother prepare a drink. The pair of big hands with superb swordsmanship actually shook at this time, deliberately making the wine glass make a rattling sound.

"Bringing people to commit crimes. The Count said aloud.

Caught between two paladins with translucent glowing chains on her wrists and ankles, Janet was held in the hands of a third paladin behind her. The chains are imprinted with mystical runes that can keep evil creatures and demons at bay. But Janet only thought it was an ordinary chain, even lighter than an ordinary iron chain.

She was arrested this afternoon. The kitchen was preparing everyone's dinner. And her task is to clean up the plates. After an ambush in the snow. She used her ability to change her appearance to disguise herself, as a mercenary, as a soldier, as a horse-feeding boy, and then as a cook. Even when the Dawn Church's rescue arrived, she didn't come out to see her, and continued to hide in the kitchen. This is her habit after training, and she can only reuse her previous identity when she is sure that she is absolutely safe.

With no one around her to feel safe, life has become perpetually dark since Siegel was blinded by her own flashing spell and then knocked off a cliff by a horse. She was always in a trance. I couldn't sleep well every day and had nightmares all night. In the dream, she turned into a giant who burned with flames all the time. Her hair, skin, and most of her flesh had been scorched and stripped from the flames, and her delicate and lovely face had been reduced to a horrific skull, covered in a tattered layer of dead skin. The tail behind it is no longer smooth and rounded, but like a scorpion, with venom dripping from the tip. The pungent smell of sulfur added to the dream a terrible rancid smell. This terrifying monster constantly creates walls of ice, stacked high on top of each other. When a figure approaches, the monster will tear down the ice walls. Slap the figure underneath, smash it into a meat patty, and squeeze it into a bloody porridge.

The figure was Janet sometimes. Sometimes it's Siegel.

She wakes up sweating profusely, sometimes finding that she is not in bed, but in any part of the castle, and the prototype of the Demon Descendant is revealed. Sometimes she would have some wounds on her body, but they were not serious, such as being cut by scissors or other sharp objects, but she could not recall what had happened. This sleepwalking syndrome is getting worse and worse, but the paladins patrolling the castle never notice it, so many times Janet also feels that sleepwalking itself is a dream, and everything has seemed illusory and unreal since Siegel's disappearance.

Siegel is missing and will never die, she is convinced of this in her heart.

Now she didn't know what her crime was, so she was brought before everyone. The atmosphere here is like that of the Kingdom of Stars, with the nobles pointing their fingers, the pretentious knights, and the high royal family. The courage in her memory slowly came to her heart, and the part that belonged to the spy "kitten" began to take over the body.

The first is Bishop Cooper's prayer, who prays to dispel the evil in the darkness and bring light and justice to all the people of the earth. When he finished speaking, Prince Aaron continued: "This time, the ruling will be presided over by Count Todd. Then, taking a sip, he gently placed the cup on the table at hand. Evan poured his wine again, expressing his displeasure in this way.

"Janet, did you cast a curse on His Highness the Prince?" the Count asked straight to the point.

Janet shook her head, "No," she replied.

The bishop's priest frowned, and although he was not surprised, he still said without concealment: "The divine magic has revealed that this is true. ”

"Isn't this over, Mr. Earl should be at ease, why don't you go back and rest?" said Evan pouting with a smile.

Ignoring the bastard's actions, "Do you deny yourself a devil?" the Count asked.

"I deny it. Janet said, "I'm just a demon, not a devil. ”

Pastor Cooper suddenly shouted, "Lies!" The emblem in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light, like a spear of light piercing the darkness, and shot hard at Janet's body. The girl let out a cry of pain, screaming that caused the crowd to cover their ears. She fell to the ground and twitched like a mouse under a cat's paw.

Then, a phantom appeared on Janet's body, first standing still like a stone figure, and then countless cracks appeared on the surface. Underneath the crack was red magma, and the heat drove the stone statue to its feet. The statue then had claws, teeth, and wings. In the eyes of everyone, this is the devil.

Janet saw the sight too, it wasn't her at all, not even in her dreams. She tried to beg for mercy, but could not say anything under the coercion of the magic. There was a commotion in the room, some retreating in disgust, others holding their swords in their hands. Sir Bill frowned, and looked at the scene without saying a word. His fists clenched and loosened, and he hesitated for a few breaths, but finally stood up, bowed to Count Todd, and asked to speak.

"Stop your spells, Bishop, I think everyone can see clearly. With a wave of his hand, the Count rescued Janet from her misery. When the phantom slowly disappeared and disappeared completely, the Count said to Lord Bill, "Mr. Baron Tiger Beer, do you have anything to say?"

"I want to hear the confession of this man. Sir Beale said: "She should have a chance to defend herself." ”

"In order to show His Royal Highness the Prince's impartiality, it is natural that this Miss Janet will be given the opportunity to speak. The Count turned to the priest and asked, "Is it so, is it safe?"

"Rest assured, the safety of the royals has always been our top priority. Pastor Cooper replied, "Even if she is allowed to speak, it will not affect the people around her, and I will personally guard His Highness, and it is foolproof." ”

"Well, you can speak for yourself. The Earl looked at Janet: "Say, what are your intentions in the Black Blood Castle by disguising yourself as a servant?"

The kitten coughed hard, her throat like it was on fire, and puffs of black smoke erupted along with the cough - the sight made everyone even more worried. She barely stood up with her hands and looked around at the crowd. No one will speak for her, only the lively, ulterior, opinionated and prejudiced ones here. Even Siegel's master is using the word "man" to describe himself. In your hearts, I've been condemned, Janet thought to herself.

"I followed a good man to the Walls Mountains. Janet said slowly, not in a high voice, as if speaking to herself. "He fell off a cliff during the battle and lost his track. I was taken to the castle and waited for him here. I knew he would come to me as long as he wasn't dead. ”

After hearing this, several people who knew Siegel well thought of the young man who rescued His Royal Highness the prince and then was made a baron. It seems that the canonization ceremony in the snow is still vivid, but only a few of the four can still remember the appearance of the recipient. Sir Bill was full of pain, and every time he mentioned it, it was as if he had been stabbed in the heart. Afterwards, he inquired with several people about the battlefield, and came to the same conclusion: Janet's flash spell staff caused Siegel to lose sight of the battlefield, and then led to the cliff fall. Lord Bill had been looking for Janet to ask her the truth so that he could be held accountable for the whole thing. However, this demon descendant has been hiding for a long time, and it is not discovered until today.

So Jazz is very conflicted, on the one hand he wants to make the person who is most responsible for causing Siegel to fall off the cliff pay the price, and on the other hand he feels that it is very unfair to interrogate a little girl in this way. Almost everyone present was attracted to the priest's spell and had come to see Janet as if she were a devil. But is this spell necessarily true? If it is true, then it is also true that the girl said that she did not put a curse on the prince. In fact, the purpose of the trial is not to find out the reason why His Royal Highness the prince's body cannot recover, and nothing else matters.

So Sir Bill spoke, "It's not about Siegel now. Tell me quickly, the prince's physical recovery is slow, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"Nope. It has nothing to do with me at all. Janet replied.

"Another lie. Pastor Cooper said. In addition to him, three other pastors agreed with this view.

In fact, Sir Bill asked the wrong question. When facing the blood mage together, the blood of Janet, Evan, and Aaron was mixed together, and the blood of the demon did affect the prince, which was a small reason for his weakness. Therefore, when asked if it is related, Janet is naturally related to this matter. If Siegel had been here, he would have chosen another wording: "Have you created the status quo of the prince's physical weakness?"

The Count waved his hand, maintaining order on the scene. "It is now very clear that this woman is an enemy of the royal family and is related to the incident of the prince's poor health," he said. For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the Starry Kingdom, I propose that he be put to death. ”

The crowd looked at Pastor Cooper and waited for his answer. (To be continued......)
