Howard Calciard watched the trial leisurely.

While many were waiting to see what the results of the heresy trial, revived after a hundred years, would be, only he was certain.

‘Hehehe, this is the end for Duke Diat!’

The failure of the trial.

It was not simply that no one had ever been judged not to be a heretic in a trial.

‘No matter how much blood you pour on the fake relic, it will be useless.’

The day before, Howard had used his connections within the temple to bribe the priest in charge of the Cup of the Sun.

When the trial is held, they will hand over a counterfeit product instead of the real one.

Even as Shailene cut her hand with a dagger and blood dripped from it, Howard was just sitting there, relaxed.

but.

“The holy water has turned blue! That means Count Charophet is not a heretic!”

Contrary to his expectations, the blood in the goblet turned the holy water blue.

‘This is ridiculous!’

Shailene glanced at Howard, who was standing up in shock, and tried to control her expression.

If I was not careful, I thought I might burst out in laughter.

The first of two requests she made to Chester through Raviello.

It was none other than a request to create a fake holy water that would turn blue when it came into contact with blood.

Howard’s efforts to replace the fake relic were in vain because Shailene also used a fake.

Raviello, who had played a crucial role in bringing the fake holy water to trial, declared calmly.

“With this, Count Shailene Charophé is proven not to be a heretic. Next person, please come forward.”

“I will do it.”

Bartholomew came out with a proud appearance, his back straight.

His blood also naturally turned the fake holy water blue. The same was true for Benjamin, Dane, and Deborah who came after him.

The color drained from Howard’s face in real time as he watched the scene, and the Emperor frowned.

The situation was going against the boasts of Duke Calciad that he would never fail.

“Even the last Princess Deborah has been found not to be a heretic. Let’s conclude the trial here―”

“for a moment!”

Howard cut Raviello off with his eyes wide open.

Everyone’s eyes were on him.

In a way, he was the only third party who knew that the trial results were false.

“This trial is invalid! They bribed people at Diat to manipulate the results!”

Howard, his bloodshot eyes set on the Diat family.

Shailene responded with a look of confusion and displeasure.

“How rude of you to speak. We have been locked up in the underground prison of the Imperial City for so long and have not been able to meet anyone. How can you bribe and manipulate people?”

“Ha! What can’t a heretic who has shamelessly deceived people for decades do!?”

Who is the real culprit who shamelessly deceived people and did such a thing?

Shailene let out a laugh. Howard, who was extremely excited, was desperate to find fault with her.

“It was strange that I asked for a heresy trial in the first place! I knew this would happen… …!”

“Duke Calciad, stop. Do you have any evidence that we manipulated you?”

Bartholomew, unable to stand watching, frowned and stepped forward.

It was absurd that Howard was the one who made up a story that didn’t even happen and then got angry in return.

“You’ve always acted as if my family must be a heretic rebel.”

“Huh, when did I… … !”

“But we have proven that we are not heretics as you wish!”

Bartholomew shouted with a whip-like sharpness. Howard flinched at the heavy aura flowing out of his aged body.

Having forcibly taken the position from his nephew and become a duke, he was never able to attain a dignity he could never have.

“Then you too will accept the consequences!”

“That can’t be true. This trial is clearly rigged!”

“On what basis?”

“That’s the relic I… …!”

Because it was swapped with a fake.

Howard, who was momentarily excited and almost made a mistake, barely managed to keep his words in check.

It was difficult because revealing that fact now would give them another excuse to cling to me.

“Anyway! This trial is not credible and therefore invalid!”

“What kind of nonsense is that!”

Benjamin was impressed by her childish behavior.

“I’m not being unreasonable! I know the whole truth!”

Howard continued to cry and appeal to the emperor.

“If you think about it, the discernment power of the heresy trial has been questioned for a long time. So, didn’t His Majesty the previous emperor also ban it?”

Since they couldn’t immediately present evidence that the results were fake, their intention was to invalidate the trial and make it seem like it never happened.

“There has never been a trial where a person was found not to be a heretic, so it’s very strange that today is the first time it’s happened!”

“What on earth is so strange?”

Shailene asked in a calm but elegant voice.

“The sun god, Solaris, blessed us to save us from being unjustly branded heretics.”

She put both hands on her chest and smiled with a face full of emotion as if she was looking at people.

Howard shook his head in bewilderment.

“Now that I think about it, you’re not an ordinary brazen person. You look exactly like your father!”

“Are you done talking?!”

It was Bartholomew who got angry at those words.

He was really upset when he was told that his granddaughter, whom he would never hurt even if she was the apple of his eye, resembled his son-in-law.

Shailene shrugged, patting his angry shoulder to calm him down.

“You don’t have a discerning eye. Everyone says that I look just like my mom.”

It wasn’t a big deal because I knew they didn’t look much alike except for their eyes.

Instead, she said bluntly, one corner of her mouth curled up.

“Rather, it seems that Princess Calciad resembles her father the most. In many ways.”

“… … !”

Howard’s face twisted into a rather strange tone.

However, I couldn’t respond because I thought it would seem petty to ask a nobleman the meaning of the words in detail.

There’s a chance that Shailene might talk nonsense and cause harm to Johanna.

Howard turned his head sharply and raised his voice to the Emperor again.

“Your Majesty, cancel the trial! This is absolutely ridiculous!”

“Khuh-huh.”

The emperor narrowed his eyebrows as if he was troubled and gave a long cough.

“Your Majesty, Duke Calciad’s demands are unreasonable. We have come to trial honestly, so please make a wise decision.”

Shailene also did not back down and naturally moved to a seat near the window while pleading.

It had been unusually bright outside since a while ago. She noticed the reason and intentionally stood with her back to the window.

Then, it seemed as if a bright light burst out from behind Shailene.

At this, people who looked at me without realizing it tilted their heads in puzzlement.

“Huh? Doesn’t it seem like the sunlight is stronger than usual?”

“Yeah, twice as much as three.”

“It’s as if the Count Charophet has a halo… … .”

Her silver hair sparkling in the sunlight was as beautiful and mysterious as a star.

It was a time when most people were staring at her in amazement.

“Everyone, look outside!”

Someone sitting by the window suddenly jumped up and shouted.

“There are two suns!”

“What? Is that real?!”

“Oh my gosh, it’s true! There are two suns in the sky!”

People sticking their heads out of the windows screamed in shock.

No one knew it, but this was Shailene’s second request.

Since ancient times, there has been a legend in the Trisene Empire that when the sun god descends, two suns rise in the sky.

She judged that the heresy trial alone would not be enough to completely overcome the current situation, so she decided to use it to create a dramatic situation.

If another sun rises as if the sun god had come, people will feel that this trial was done according to God’s will.

‘Fortunately, the Lord of the Tower came at the right time.’

I was simply grateful to Chester for using his magic to create an illusion outside the capital.

Meanwhile, people who were completely unaware of this fact began to show the reactions Shailene had intended, one by one.

“Solaris has arrived!”

“This can’t be happening, we need to pray quickly!”

“It is clear that the Sun God has come down to save the innocent!”

“Then, the Duke of Diat and Count Charophet are Solians acknowledged by Lord Solaris?”

Howard looked around the bustling courtroom and felt a sense of defeat.

Some people were even kneeling and praying while crying.

‘shit……!’
