"The power of the Lord of Dawn has revealed the truth, and although the woman named Janet did not cast a curse, it was indeed related to the prince's ill. Bishop Pastor Cooper spoke in a calm tone, but his voice was clearly audible in the hall. The emblem he wore on his chest emitted a soft glow, and the people who watched the light couldn't help but be convinced. And according to God's guidance, this woman seems to be a demon, but she is actually a devil. I propose to punish the evil with fire and silver juice to purify the evil as soon as possible. ”

Janet jerked her head up, her heart filled with fear and hatred. Fear comes from the punishment of fire and silver juice, whether it is tied to the stake and consumed by the flames, or poured with molten silver on the head, it is the most cruel punishment. And the source of all this judgment is based on several magical effects, Kenben is not a fact, it is all speculation and slander, so Janet is full of hatred in her heart. She wanted to curse, she wanted to curse, but she knew it would be useless except to make her suffer more. Under the watchful eye of the Knight of Dawn, she had no ability to escape at all, and the death penalty seemed inevitable. She thought of Siegel, then kept the curse in her heart and pleaded.

"I am not the devil, and I have never hurt the prince. If you condemn me to death because I am a demon, I will admit it, for I will neither be the first nor the last to be condemned by blood. All I have to ask for is that I will be allowed to jump off the cliff, right where Siegel has disappeared. You can tie my hands and feet, keep me from speaking, I can't move, and use all kinds of means to make sure that I can't break free. I just want to be closer to Siegel, he's the only one who is genuinely good to me. ”

Priest Cooper frowned, the lie detection spell didn't respond. This shows that Janet is telling the truth. What the hell is the reason for this. Could there be something else hidden in it? though he had doubts. But he didn't speak.

"But you caused him to fall off a cliff. Sir Bill stepped forward and reprimanded her, saying, "I have heard this from many people, but I have not been able to find you to verify it. Now can you say that?"

"Yes, that was my mistake. Janet replied with a weeping voice.

Sir Bill nodded, turned to Prince Aaron, and said, "Your Royal Highness, Baron Siegel is your canonized royal knight, and he has always fought faithfully for you. This demonic has something to do with Baron Siegel's disappearance. As Siegel's former Mentor of Knights, I wanted to be able to imprison Janet for the time being so that I could learn more about what was going on on the battlefield at that time. He then said to Pastor Cooper, "If the temple wishes, it can send men to watch over the prisoners." ”

"It's a pity they can't do that. Evan spoke suddenly, then whispered in the prince's ear. But the perceptive Earl Todd and the Reverend Cooper could still hear it. He said, "Paladins and priests in the Temple of Dawn can only defend royalty, and cannot participate in politics beyond that. Your Highness, this is our royal business, and many knights and knights will work for you. ”

Pastor Cooper hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness, we are only assisting in the search for the evil devil, and we have no intention of intervening in political affairs. Please be aware of it. ”

"I understand. Aaron nodded at him, then said, "I've always been grateful to the Temple of Dawn for their assistance. That's it. Hold her in custody, Earl Todd, and Sir Bill can go if you want to ask her any questions. Poor Siegel. ”

"Your Highness, please let me cast a spell to block the Devil's mana so that she will not burst out and hurt others. Priest Cooper bowed, then began to cast the spell. Janet only felt that the world was spinning, and the people around her became blurred light and shadow, but the distorted and funny faces were clearly visible. Under the effect of the spell, she gradually lost control of her body, just like the last time she fell into a coma, and the faces that she had changed in the past kept appearing.

The onlookers were just looking at the excitement, and they only thought it was very magical, but Count Todd was startled by a face. In the blink of an eye, he spotted a familiar face that His Royal Highness had seen when he had visited Master Riel before his Royal Highness left the Old World. He didn't pay much attention to this person because he thought that this person was the handmaiden of the Master of Prophecy, but it was clear that Master Liele would not have a demonic handmaiden, so what did it mean behind Janet having this face?

The spell was cast, and a pair of white-gold handcuffs restrained Janet's hands while suppressing all of her natural abilities. Prince Aaron waved his hand to let the poor kitten down, and then said to Pastor Cooper.

"Contact the Mage Federation in Waterdeep City and ask them to open the teleportation array. His tone was unmistakable: "I've had enough of this cold place. Now that the devil has been caught, I believe my body is able to withstand the bumps of the trip. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. I'll do it right away. ”

The cells of the Black Blood Castle were facing to the west, and Janet could watch the last rays of the sunset disappear. The sausages, bread, and water that had been placed next to her were still the same as they had been brought in, but they had long since become cold. She looked at the darkness that was gradually surging outside, but she didn't believe that this would be her end.

The metal shackles on her hands were unusually cold, but they didn't look strong, and she could try to unlock them if she had the tools to pick the lock. But the knights standing guard outside the door were not easy to handle, and no matter how they changed their appearance, they would attack without saying anything. If you can break through this line of defense, with your disguise and disguise, it will not be too difficult to leave the Black Blood Castle. But how do you go to Siegel when the time comes, and how do you explain it to him after finding him?

Do you confess to him that you are a spy?

That's what happens when you lose your professionalism, Janet said to herself. Although the cell was cold, it was much better than the trial hall, at least one could be quiet. But this extravagance was soon shattered, and the iron door opened, and Count Todd entered.

Looking at the prisoner with his back to him, the Count said straight to the point: "Janet, you have a choice now. Tell me what you've done in the Star Capital, and I can intercede for you. ”

"Can you let me go?" said Janet, who didn't look back. In order to steal information, she is very aware of the temperament and character of the important ministers of the kingdom. Earl Todd is a stubborn old man, and no one but the royal family can make him change. But Janet still wanted to try. Hold back a glimmer of hope of seeing Siegel.

"I can't let you go. But you can be imprisoned forever. The Count said, "A more lenient cell is what I can promise you." As long as you and the dish is out. Tell the truth. ”

"Excuse me, Lord Count. Janet replied, "No one wants to listen to me honestly, otherwise I wouldn't be here." Maybe I make you think I've got a little secret that will keep me alive a little longer. ”

The Earl frowned and said sharply, "Don't think about blackmailing the royal family. It takes a day to set up a stake and collect credits, and you'll only have that much time to think about. I advise you to change your mind!"

With that, he turned to leave.

After the cell door was closed, Janet was quietly alone again. 'Where's Siegel?' Janet only had to think about these things to pass the time.

When the moon climbed into the sky, the cell door opened again. This time it was Sir Bill. He came in with an oil lamp, and when he saw the food on the table, he let out a long sigh. "Go get some hot food, I'm going to stay here for a while. ”

He sent the guard at the door, put down the oil lamp, and said to Janet with his long sword in his hand, "You didn't assassinate His Royal Highness, did you?"

Janet smiled, and she just said, "Sir, what you think is more powerful than what I say, isn't it?"

Jazz nodded. "I don't know you, but I know Siegel. Although he looks silly. But you can tell who is the good guy and the bad guy. Even if you were a villain before, you will give up evil deeds by Siegel's side, otherwise that kid will not spare you and will have driven you away long ago. ”

"I think you're right. Jenny nodded, the topic still piquing her interest.

"I can't let you go, please understand. Sir Bill continued: "It is my duty and I cannot disobey it." The Earl is already preparing for the stake, and the priests of the Temple of Dawn are also helping, they will not do useless work, so your end will be very tragic. I said at the time of the trial that I would seek news from you, partly to avoid that terrible way, perhaps in a sharper, less painful way, but now it seems that this effort has failed. The other aspect is that there are indeed questions for you, but they have nothing to do with the battlefield. ”

Jazz paused, then asked, "Did you sleep with Siegel, and is it possible that you were pregnant with his child?"

Janet smiled, he knew what Sir Bill meant. If she had Siegel's flesh in her belly, then Jazz would be desperate to keep the child anyway. After Siegel's disappearance, she saw grief in Jazz's eyes, a truly visceral wound, like a parent who has lost her own child, and the pain is irreplaceable. She believed that as long as she nodded her head and acknowledged it, there might be a turnaround. But Janet, who was accustomed to lying and pretending, shook her head and told the truth: "No, I don't have any of his children. ”

"Have you figured it out?" asked Bill.

"I don't want to lie to you. Janet said, "Just for Siegel." ”

Sir sighed again, and then said to Janet, "Son, don't wait to be burned at the stake, it's too painful, too cruel. If you nod, I'll cut off your head here, cleanly. ”

"No, I don't want that. Janet looked out the window and saw nothing but moonlight and starlight, but she seemed to be able to see a lot. With tears in her eyes, she turned to Sir Bill and said, "I'm sure Siegel will show up again and get me out." I'll wait. ”

"If that's the case...... "Sir Bill," said Sir Bill, retracting his unsheathed sword, "Siegel wouldn't have saved you even if he appeared, and Reverend Dawn wouldn't let him do that." ”

"I believe in him, there will be a way. Janet laughed and wept.

Sir Bill knew that this was actually the girl's last psychological support, so he didn't persuade him more. Before he left the cell, he lowered his voice and said, "Tell the story to Lord Count, the longer the better." Don't forget to eat. ”

Then he slapped Janet in the face, knocked her to the ground, turned around with a curse, and strode away.

Janet sat up, ate her food, and prepared for bed. She had been alone before, but now she knew that Sir Bill would help her secretly, at least so that the Count would not lose patience, and only then would she have the opportunity to tell a story to stall for time. Not to mention making up stories, if there is an expectation of meeting Siegel, what if it is to be told to her? She sat quietly on the cell bed, weaving out the details of the story in her mind over and over again.

But in the middle of the night, the cell door was opened again. This time it was Evan who came in, wearing a ridiculous black turban and carrying a thick cotton coat in his hand. The two guards outside were knocked unconscious by him and fell to the ground.

"Stretch out your hand, and I'll cut off the shackles for you. Evan said, "Siegel likes you, so run away." (To be continued......)
