Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Messiah walked into the hall of the Holy Light Assembly. There were more people than Messiah had expected.
She glanced at the figures seated in the hall. They were all people she was familiar with, including a few bishops.
Bishop Moenig and Bishop Kobler were the two bishops Messiah was most familiar with. They were both from the Holy Army, and Bishop Moenig was even Messiah's teacher in swordsmanship.
When her teacher saw her acting like a prisoner, shame filled Messiah's heart. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at the bishops in the eyes.
Myrcella was quickly brought to the place where the sinner stood by the four captains, and the trial officially began with the bishop of the Court of Heresy presiding over it.
"Messiah. During the crusade against the demons in Noland, you unsheathed your sword and attacked a chief judge of the Court of Heresy in order to protect a demon …"
Messiah opened her mouth and wanted to retort when one of the bishops read out her charges.
She was not protecting a demon, but an innocent Frost Elf. She did not even unsheathe her sword during that time.
But in the end, Misai chose to listen to all her crimes quietly.
"The Court of Heresy believes that she has been influenced by the demons during her time in Noland. She has betrayed the teachings of the gods and allied with the demons, and needs to be punished by the Holy Light."
After the bishop of the Court of Heresy finished his speech, he looked at Bishop Moenig and Bishop Kobler, who were sitting on the other side. These two bishops from the Sacred Army were the ones who could decide Missae's crimes.
"Messiah, say what you want to say. My disciple is not so weak!"
Bishop Moenig said slowly as he stared at Messiah. His voice was soft, but it echoed throughout the entire Holy Light Assembly.
By then, Messiah had already raised her head. She could tolerate the Tribunal of Heresy's previous slander, but the latter part about 'betraying the teachings of the gods' was something Messiah could not tolerate no matter what.
Her faith in God was almost as important as her life.
"I think I am guilty, Your Eminence! But what I'm protecting isn't a demon, but a helpless elf! The presiding judge had lost his mind and was ready to slaughter innocent civilians in the middle of his mission. I couldn't stand by and watch this atrocity happen! Also … I have never abandoned my beliefs, even if it means death. "
Messiah was rarely angered, even when her property was taken away by the Kingdom of Saint. In the past, when her subordinates treated her rudely, Messiah never felt angry. But this time, Messiah really realized that she could no longer remain silent.
"Violence? The place where the Court of Heresy carries out its mission is built by the demons. There is no such thing as innocent or not innocent there. "
The bishop of the Court of Heresy did not accept Messiah's explanation.
"Do you really have evidence to prove that my disciple was protecting a demon at that time?"
Bishop Moenig was a little impatient. Messiah was the most outstanding disciple he had ever taught. She was a model knight in both character and ability, and she had made many achievements on the battlefield.
The Court of Heresy relied on a mere accusation of 'protecting a demon in Noland' to label Messiah as a traitor who allied with the demons. This made Bishop Moenig very dissatisfied.
"Forgive me for being blunt, Bishop Moenig, but the Heretic Court has suffered a great loss this time. They were attacked by an accomplice of the Devil in Norland … That traitor's reckless attack on the Presiding Judge greatly affected the mission."
"But I will not hand my disciple over to you! These two witnesses are both judges. I don't believe their words! "
Bishop Moenig and the other bishop from the Holy Army looked at each other and seemed to have made a decision.
"Messiah, the mistake you made in Noland this time proves that you still need to undergo training. Remove your identity as a Holy Army knight and send you to Frost Fortress as a new recruit!"
Bishop Moenig's decision was to send Messiah away from the Holy City of the Church. After returning to the Holy City, the name of a traitor had already spread far and wide. If Messiah wanted to rebuild his reputation in the Holy Army and even become a commander in the future, he could only win new glory through battle.
Bishop Moenig hoped that his disciple could become a commander in the future.
Frost Fortress … Messiah had been to this fortress before. It was located at the border between the Land of Frost and the Holy Kingdom. It was covered in snow all year round and was often attacked by orcs and demons.
To put it simply, it was to be sent to the border. If it was in the past, Messiah would have gladly accepted this condition, but now … What made Messiah laugh was that she actually wanted to return to Noland.
But Messiah knew that this was impossible. Just as Messiah was about to agree with Bishop Moenig's decision … a figure stood up from the audience and interrupted Messiah's thoughts.
"Bishop Moenig, I don't think that sending this outstanding knight to Frost Fortress will help her grow. If possible, please let her become my guardian and follow me."
This was … Saintess Heroria's voice! Messiah turned around and saw Saintess Heroria standing in front of the audience.
She was rumored to be the person closest to God in the Holy City. Just by looking at her blue pupils, he could feel the uneasiness in his heart being soothed.
"You must not … let a dangerous traitor become a guardian … Isn't this …"
Before Bishop Moenig could speak, the surrounding bishops had already voiced their doubts.
Messiah had already carried the name of a traitor in the Holy City. If she became the Saintess's guardian, it would have a negative impact.
"How can such a noble soul be dangerous?"
Saintess Heroria looked at Messiah, and Messiah felt like his heart was being peeped at.
Was it an illusion? Messiah did not know, but Saintess Heroria's sudden decision puzzled Messiah.
She had never spoken to this Saintess in the Holy City.
"I will accept all the sins she has committed, Bishop Moenig … She can learn more by staying by my side."
Saintess Heroria looked at Bishop Moenig, who was sitting in the judge's seat. She fearlessly looked at the Commander of the Sacred Army.
The two bishops thought for a moment, and finally made a decision, perhaps because they saw the abnormal expression on the bishop's face.
"Perhaps the Saintess's light can wash away the sins of Messiah. I hope you can guide this child onto the right path," Bishop Moenig said.
"Thank you, Bishop."
