The reason why this guy could wield the Light of Praise without any hesitation wasn't complicated—it's simply because of his youth and resilience...
The cold sweat dripping from his forehead fell onto the floor as the murmurs gradually spread within the church, and Xines' expression grew increasingly grave.
The Judgnt Cross possesses an unparalleled ability to restrain all things evil. Even a sliver of an evil thought would render one unable to gaze upon the cross on his chest.
Such as a certain Court Manager who was moving his arm away from his eyes.
And that's why his judgnt not only failed to reveal Erin's "true form," but instead witnessed her devotion before the statue in Twilight City Cathedral!
The situation has escalated...
"I need an explanation."
The cold voice shattered the deathly silence, as Erin stared unblinkingly at Xines, the disappointnt in her eyes turning into anger.
Xines knew he was in the wrong.
Using the Judicial Court's divine artifact to "judge" a heroic figure with no concrete evidence deeply hurt the feelings of both the Ryan and Campbell people from any perspective.
He remained silent for a mont, ultimately choosing the most straightforward way to quell the incident. Lowering his proud head slowly, he reluctantly uttered a hoarse word.
"Sorry..."
Even so, the confusion in his heart grew stronger, as if walking into the Demon King's maze.
It didn't work?
Truly strange...
Seeing the Referee Chief lower his head, the Executors standing around were profoundly moved, as if witnessing the sun rising from the west.
Their Referee Chief actually apologized!
This... this is just unbelievable!!
Erin glanced aningfully at Xines' bowed head, as if to say "This isn't over."
"The Campbell family will not forget today's humiliation. We will faithfully recount today's events to our people."
Without further entanglent, she coldly tossed out a sentence and then turned to walk out of the church.
Skylar glanced at the Referee Chief with a complex expression, then at Erin walking out the door, opening his mouth to say sothing to ease the atmosphere, but his throat seed stuck, not knowing where to start.
Although the Referee Chief had so elents of acting on a pretext, this fla was indeed fanned by him, at least as he believed in his heart.
As the saying goes...
The situation developed this way, genuinely unintended on his part.
The people in the church wore different expressions, their faces full of profound thoughts. So pondered the kingdom's future, others the future of the Holy Light on this land, or perhaps simply their own future.
The Church Court and the Campbell family had their first confrontation, albeit unprepared, initiated by a misunderstanding.
At this mont, no one noticed a female knight who had just stepped outside the church, with her wildly beating heart in her throat.
Just as Mr. Colin said.
The Church Court and the King no longer trust the Campbell family...
...
Two blocks away from Twilight City Cathedral, in an unassuming inn attic.
The real Erin Campbell was staring through the partially drawn curtains, her eyes fixed on the Holy Light that suddenly appeared and then dissipated on the distant church do.
Her erald green eyes were filled with shock, a hint of barely perceptible sorrow, and a trace of uncertainty about where to go...
Sarah stood behind her, arms crossed, her amber vertical pupils gazing indifferently out the window, her expression unperturbed.
Everything was as expected by Lord Demon King.
The Judicial Court didn't even give "Erin" a chance to explain; the holy light descended almost as soon as she set foot in the church.
If the real Erin had been standing there, she might not have died, but certainly would have suffered greatly...
The silence lasted for half a quarter of an hour until the wooden door of the attic was pushed open gently, and a nimble figure slipped inside.
The person who ca in was "Erin" who had previously left the church.
She closed the door with her backhand, imdiately knelt on one knee, then stretched her right hand to a specific spot on her jaw, and pulled it outward forcefully.
"Rip——"
A mask as thin as a cicada's wing was removed from her face, revealing Theresa's loyal yet slightly fatigued face.
The mask was a magic item created by Prince Colin, reportedly made with the extrely precious bark of the Tree of Life as the material, capable of perfectly replicating a person's appearance.
As for the silver hair, it was dyed with Alchemy Paint, another creation by Prince Colin.
Neither Court Manager Skylar nor Referee Chief Xines was familiar with Erin, especially the latter, who was seeing her for the first ti.
For Theresa, who had long followed by Erin's side, it might be challenging to deceive Prince Edward, but certainly enough to fool outsiders.
"...Your Highness, that's the sequence of events."
With a heavy and respectful voice, Theresa recounted everything that had just happened in the cathedral word for word.
Erin listened in silence, her fingers on the windowsill turning white from the force, matching her bloodless face.
Facing the Judicial Court in Twilight City was her idea, but having Theresa replace her was Prince Colin's insistence.
Initially, Erin felt Prince Colin was overly cautious.
But reality dealt her a heavy blow.
The other side didn't even give her a chance to "reason," let alone an opportunity to explain, directly deploying the Judgnt divine artifact.
