48 – Judge (2)

Silent Dawn.

Depending on the light of the candle, Sylvia was reading a book.

“Haam… ….”

No, she was half asleep with a book in her hand.

Being awake at dawn, she was bored, so she read a book, but she fell asleep when she saw the letters on the paper.

She looked at Alessia with dreamy, sleepy eyes.

She was in the middle of interrogating Sylvia’s ‘former’ servants who were lying on the ground with her limbs bound.

“Alesia, are you still there?”

“Yes…… It’s clear that the food the saintess is going to eat has something added to it, but she won’t tell me what it is.”

Alessia stood up nervously.

To think that the people who had been supporting the weak Sylvia for several years were spies trying to trick something.

I still can’t believe it, but the 180 degree change in attitude after being caught revealed that they are not friendly towards Sylvia and herself.

“These worms… ….”

Alessia was bothered by their wide open eyes for no reason.

It was largely because of the feeling of betrayal I felt towards them as much as I had accumulated so much affection.

And.

“But what is it? If the poison was shot to kill me, it would have worked long ago.”

As Sylvia said, it was not without reason that I was frustrated because I couldn’t understand their intentions.

Even the waitress who showed signs did not feel any problem, so the food was passed on to Sylvia, but since only Sylvia showed a refusal, she couldn’t just let it go.

“I did ask for support from the Holy Land. However, until the day the saintess’s safety is secured, it will be difficult to move freely.”

“This is going to be a boring day.”

Cut the windows with curtains so you can’t see into the room.

Eating is not free because of those who play tricks on food.

A more limited life than a caged bird.

But when Sylvia tries to finish reading the book casually because she is used to such things.

Smart——

A knocking sound came from beyond the door.

The escort knights who stood guard knocked.

“What happened?”

Alessia asked without opening the door.

The escort knight replied.

─There is a person who urgently came to see the saintess.

A saint at dawn?

For the requested assistance to the Holy Kingdom to arrive, it will be tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Then, who is the person who has come?

Alessia was going to order the suspicious visitor to return it.

─You are the son of the Heitz family.

Alessia turned her head and looked at Sylvia at the name she had once received grace from.

She was a sign that she would obey her will.

Silvaa nodded her head as she sat in her chair.

“Let it in.”

─Yes.

Her doorknob turned, and the door opened.

Adele, who entered the room following the escort driver’s guidance, flinched at the sight of those trapped in the corner of the room, but bowed her head and bowed first.

“I’m sorry for suddenly coming to you during a break.”

“No, so what happened? It doesn’t seem like it’s an urgent matter to come here at a time like this.”

Adele explained Heights’ plan.

About the Witch’s Fairy Tale, how he came to know about it, and what Heidel was aiming for even though he didn’t say it himself.

As the story progressed, Alessia’s complexion turned white.

“…… That means yes.”

Alessia turned her head and looked at Sylvia.

Unlike Alessia, who seemed like she would pass out at any moment, the person she was involved in was the same as usual, as if nothing was wrong.

“So I’m here to tell you that you better be careful just in case.”

Adele’s words are over.

Silvia, who quietly listened to his words, opened her mouth.

“Thank you for taking the risk to inform me.”

I can understand it from what he said.

The employee who showed signs of rejection did not react, but the reason why only he was rejected.

The fact that the body that was chosen by the god and covered with divine power instinctively became a witch was terrified.

It was only natural that the two energies with opposite poles met regardless of what was right or wrong.

“But I think I already ate?”

“What—”

“That medicine. What you call the Witches’ Fairy Tale.”

“—You mean… ….”

There was silence for a moment.

Even Adele couldn’t help but be mesmerized by Sylvia’s statement that she casually revealed that she had become a witch.

Of course.

For her to become a witch means she may soon be executed.

It is said that my death is approaching, how can I be so calm.

“If it’s as you told me, maybe I won’t die?”

Sylvia looked at it like that and was positive.

She was chosen by God to brighten the world.

“But if you get it wrong, you could die.”

“At that time.”

However, her thoughts, where her steadfastness originated, were distorted somewhere.

“I can’t help it. I must die because of my inadequacies in not being able to stop the oppression of witches.”

Unable to downplay the twist in her current situation, despite her reluctance, Adele decided to have a conversation with her.

She felt like the situation was not going well, as if she had vowed not to get along with the original heroine.

* * *

The rumor that the saintess had become a witch would spread quickly.

This was because of the Frachchi that Heidel had placed all over the place.

Thanks to her preparing for her own plan for several years, the rumor spread not only to her academy, but to the Holy Kingdom in an instant.

“… ….”

The morning when the sun started to rise.

Heidel was looking out of her window with her hands behind her back.

“You’re the kind of guy who won’t listen until the end.”

In the garden outside the window, servants were scattered all over the place.

They were all the ones Adele defeated early this morning while running away to inform Heidel’s plans.

I thought that number was excessive because it was not enough.

“Did you grow as much as I did while I was gone?”

I neglected Adele because I was preparing for today.

Even on the occasional day to see his face, he abused him to make a witch fairy tale.

But unlike plants that don’t grow unless watered, Adele grew as much as I did without the attention of his parents.

“You would have liked it if you had seen it.”

I imagined Adele’s mother smiling at him, but…… Heidel’s imagination soon shattered like glass on the floor.

I just feel sad when I think of things that can’t happen anymore.

What is needed to do what one can do for those who have already left is anger toward a society with this absurd structure.

A single-minded effort to destroy the kingdom and empire that kills, kills, and kills witches indiscriminately.

It was because Heidel himself put restrictions on himself for that.

Jumping.

The door opened and the butler entered.

He reported getting down on one knee on the floor.

“All preparations are complete.”

Heidel turned around.

He passed the house manager and left the room.

I walked down the hallway and told the butler who was following me.

“I don’t think Adele would do that, but let her know that too so that she doesn’t do anything stupid to the saintess.”

“What do you mean by that fact?”

“About the maid who goes by the child.”

“Oh, you mean Charlotte.”

“Yes.”

From noble mtl dot com

When Heidel came down, the waiters opened the gate.

Through the gap that had begun to open, reddish sunlight stretched through the central porch.

Aside from that, there were former knights and mercenaries who had worked as cooks, butlers, and so on for the Heitz family.

They grew up in a variety of environments…… They had one thing in common.

That is, those who lost their precious ones due to the indiscriminate witch hunt of the kingdom and empire.

“The time has come.”

Heidel spoke in front of them.

“The saintess of the Holy Land who drove her witch to evil became a witch.”

The volume wasn’t loud, but the clear voice resonated enough to be heard by the person standing at the far end.

“Even though the saintess became a witch, God did not take away her power and left her as a saintess.”

Then the question arises.

“We must ask Seongguk. Are witches still evil that you must destroy? If so, will you even execute the saint chosen by God?”

A saint chosen by the gods.

Doctrine for God.

However, when the saintess became a witch, a contradiction arose.

If this fact is known, people will raise the same questions as Heidel.

Even though the saintess became a witch, she was still a saint.

Then doesn’t that mean that God doesn’t recognize witches as evil?

Then, aren’t the large-scale executions carried out by the Holy Kingdom and Empire a simple massacre?

“If the saintess is left alive, they are a group of slayers who committed a massacre.”

The validity of the witch hunt disappears in doubt.

The witch hunt recorded in history will soon change its appearance by later generations.

The Seongguk is a mad nation that committed genocide, and even an empire that used witch-hunts well because it could easily purify its opponents couldn’t avoid it.

“If they try to kill the saintess, they will deny the will of the god they believe in.”

The most important belief in religion.

If you do such a thing in front of those who are united by faith, the church members will not stand still.

In other words, whatever choice you make, the downfall of the kingdom is certain.

However, Heidel does not want the latter.

He.

No, what the people gathered here want.

“Protect the saintess. The existence of the saintess is the downfall of the kingdom.”

Revenge for those who took away your precious ones.

A massive purge by your own hands.

The pope who gave the order, the emperor, and the few heroes who followed their orders.

Everyone was the target of their revenge.
