by adminEpisode 209 – Princess, Ariana Crowfield 22 –
“… So what did you say?”
Leave Crowfield Manor.
Ariana Crowfield, who was heading to Elijah, asked her deacon.
Her butler’s answer was the same as before.
“The trial has been postponed. Officially, it is known that the Saint of Execution did so because he had something to investigate.”
Bang~
Ariana hit the desk in the middle of the carriage hard.
It wasn’t that big of a shock since I didn’t learn Auror.
If he learned it, he hit it with such sincerity that the carriage broke in half.
“… Why on earth? Wasn’t it already over? If a special saint* were to apostatize, the repercussions would be enormous… The trial is postponed… ?”
*: Refers to a saint who has stigmata but does not belong to the Seonghwangcheong Order.
“Nothing exactly has been revealed yet. A clearer justification could have been found for the guilty party… ”
“He has already been confirmed guilty, but delaying it only means he is not guilty!!!!!! Moreover, is delaying it even after knowing about the fact that there was an apostasy that needs to be dealt with urgently worse than being innocent?!!!!!”
The guilt had already been confirmed.
Of course, the variables that arose in such a situation could not be pleasant.
Because that variable ultimately has a higher probability of being found not guilty.
Moreover, the reason this case was accepted as guilty was because there was a possibility that Abraxas was a special saint.
Because it was such a situation, I tried to deal with it urgently.
That the trial takes place at a later date.
It became a possibility that there would be a problem if the guilty were struck.
in other words. In short, this meant that the possibility of Abraxas eventually being released increased.
Oh my gosh~
As soon as that possibility came into Ariana’s mind.
She thought about it and asked.
“So what is the way?”
“How exactly do you want to stop it?”
“Even if we mobilize everything.”
In response to her firm reply, her butler began to explain the exact thing.
This is because only when we know what the current situation is, we can prepare countermeasures.
“First of all, a saint. Because that was a direct request from the Saint of Execution… Procrastination is inevitable. There was some justification for including problematic bishops within the Holy Hwangcheong.
The target we bet on. If Abraxas was a devout Celestial believer or a high-ranking priest. Or, if public opinion had been as good as that of non-affiliated adults, the bishops would not have accepted the proposal.”
“That was explained. So why is it difficult?”
“Just because you are a bishop, you cannot defeat a saint. Ultimately, the only thing that has reduced the power gap between bishops and cardinals is authority and actual power. Cardinal is still the highest rank you have.
And from the perspective of an adult with the highest status… The minimal power of bishops and cardinals means nothing. The authority is almost the same as not being able to disobey a saint. There is such a gap that it is difficult for a bishop to do anything with an adult.”
“But how did something like this work?”
“So, originally, this matter would have been decided through the bishop. Or persuade the cardinal. They tried to somehow bypass the saint and create false witnesses. But fortunately… The hypothesis that he was an apostate saint arose, and things progressed gradually. however… ”
“The matter was carried out solely on the possibility that he was an apostate saint, without any actual evidence… In one word from the saint… Trial canceled… ”
“It’s a consequential story, but it’s true. no. Even though the power of bishops and saints has been reduced in the first place, what is the symbolic sacrament? This would have happened even if the saint had just changed his mind.”
Because the power gap has narrowed.
Perception does not change.
A vagabond on the street gains great power.
Even if he has reached the same level as the guard captain of a noble family.
It is not possible to become equal to him in an instant.
Power is power based on the perception of others.
Even if the authority was closer to that of a cardinal.
As cardinals are higher than bishops.
There was a big difference between a saint and a bishop, who were almost on the same level as the Pope.
This minor difference deteriorated the situation to the point where it was difficult to stop.
That’s why Ariana just gritted her teeth and burst out in rage.
Unless those words can encompass a saint.
Because in the end, it was the same as saying that there was no way.
“First of all, the saint of execution… From why he postponed the trial… It would be a priority to find out.”
“It won’t be easy. The saint of execution has already seen his child… He is also a leading figure within Seonghwangcheong. If you think about his skills, even if he wasn’t a saint, he would have been a bishop at his age. If he did well, he would have been a cardinal.”
“I know. Do it anyway. If this incident passes, we are the ones who will ultimately become the problem.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her butler swallowed his words.
Be honest. Her butler had a lot of things he wanted to say to his master.
This crossed the line.
If he survives. In the end, if you are acquitted in some way, it is the end.
Because the 3rd princess, the imperial family, and Marquess Mentutihotep will not leave the Crowfield Dukes alone.
And even if it succeeds, it becomes a problem.
With the abolition of the crime against minors, Marquis Mentutihotep will survive.
The princess and the marquis.
And his reputation was tarnished by putting a heretic in the royal guard for an unnecessary reason.
This is because it is clear that the Emperor will also view the Crowfield Dukes in a negative light.
Even if there is no problem because the cause has become heresy.
In the end, he did not know that the real problem was the hostility that arose as a result.
But as her butler, there was nothing he could do.
Because it was undignified for the owner to complain about something that was solid.
To refute.
Only when the owner gives the opportunity.
It was a bad habit of the Crowfield Dukes.
=========
Obviously, where I should have been was the judge.
He clearly intended to do something wrong there, holding a symbol of an evil spirit.
Roughly speaking, the evil god
With that, I was planning to claim that it was not heresy.
And there are even non-affiliated adults there. I don’t know why Alice said I was certain to lose.
But when the Healing Saint and the Execution Saint said they would investigate something, I collapsed.
When it happened, the trial had been postponed.
I didn’t even hear this orally, but learned about it through a letter the saint left behind.
What on earth happened?
“What on earth… ?”
There are very few cases where a trial is postponed.
Even if there is one, it is usually postponed due to internal circumstances of the Seonghwangcheong Office.
And in cases of such delays, it is usually known days to weeks in advance.
But the trial scheduled for that day is immediately postponed?
‘That’s only when something very special happens…’ ‘
Special things are truly special cases.
Suddenly, a huge incident occurs that threatens the survival of Seonghwangcheong.
A saint needs to be brought in urgently.
or not…
‘no way… !’
Then an unspoken possibility suddenly crossed my mind.
It was a stigmata that had been forgotten all along, but clearly existed within me.
The stigmata of evil spirits.
When I thought it was related to that, I got chills.
‘I’m tired… !’
Until now, the stigmata had been completely hidden.
If the power of God was not used, it was as if that power did not exist.
So the stigmata of saints and saints resonated with me.
Stigmata did not work on the evil spirit saint of WFS.
But I have never seen a direct setting about stigmata.
This means that it may be the type of stigmata that comes from saints and saints examining their bodies directly.
What if a saint and a saint found the stigmata of an evil spirit on my body?
If the heresy trial, which would result in immediate execution if found guilty, was postponed in order to investigate this.
I ended up in the worst situation.
‘Think of it.’
If it turns out that he has the stigmata of an evil spirit.
It won’t end easily.
It is nothing else but the stigmata of an evil spirit.
Even if the crime against young people has been abolished, my family can be executed by accusing them of being followers of evil spirits.
However, evidence that I have stigmata has not yet been made public.
There was a possibility of running away.
I don’t know if Seonghwangcheong is a big deal.
Unless it was a big deal, there was no reason for the trial to be postponed.
‘Everyone beyond this door is an enemy…’ !’
A door on one side of the executive office.
All the people I met outside were close to my enemy.
They probably don’t think I know that they noticed the evil spirit’s stigmata.
There will be no guards in this room.
However, there is a risk of escape if you go outside, so there will be security forces.
‘If I go outside, I’ll talk to you kindly. Let’s take advantage of that time.’
After making a detailed plan. I steeled myself and immediately opened the door…
There was no one outside the door.
Takㅡ
Clap~
I thought it might be an illusion, so I closed it and opened it again.
This is not a fantasy.
