"So that's how it is …"
Mrs. Sizer seemed to have understood something after knowing that the person who put the blame on her was the Duke of Blackwood. Then, she laughed softly in front of everyone.
"Silence! A traitor who colluded with the devil! "One of the elders shouted.
"Traitor?" Mrs. Sizer glared at him coldly, then looked at the king who was sitting at the top and asked loudly. "Your Majesty, are you sure that the person who accused me is really my husband?"
"I received a secret magic letter from the Duke of Blackwood yesterday. Whether it's the magic imprint or the handwriting, it's hard to forge. Everything is written clearly on it." The king said. "And Karana, my spies have also reported to me that you've been in frequent contact with a dangerous demon in Norland."
Although the Falosi did not have a history of waging war with the Devil Realm, the devil was still a dangerous and aggressive creature to humans.
Most human countries had the same view of the devil, and this was also thanks to the propaganda of the Kingdom of Saint.
As for the Blackwood Forest fire this time, as long as one or two missionaries claimed that it was the devil's doing in the Falosi territory, they would gain the trust of a large portion of the people.
However … the one who trampled on Mrs. Sizer's territory this time was not the devil, but the church. They even used her husband's identity to slander her.
Mrs. Sizer suppressed the anger in her heart and stared at the king of the Falosi without fear.
"Indeed, Your Majesty … I did come into contact with the devil in Noland, but the reason I came into contact with the devil was to learn another art other than drama. Also, the fire in the Blackwood Forest was not the devil's doing."
Mrs. Sizer did not hide her experience in Noland, and she did not need to.
"Drama? How could a group of barbaric devils understand these things! "
After listening to what Mrs. Caesar had to say, several of the elderly ministers expressed their disdain for it.
Every Falosi had the same pride, and that was the pride of their artistic attainments. If it were in the past, Mrs. Sizer would have laughed at a certain Falosi when she heard that they were discussing art with a demon.
However …
"The one that you call a 'barbaric demon'. His scripts are better than any of you here, and the number of people who like his works far exceeds the number of lousy screenwriters like you by more than a hundred times … or a thousand times?"
Mrs. Sizer mercilessly ridiculed the ministers. It reminded her of the 'satire' she had performed when she was a stage actress.
"That devil's work can't even be called art," said a minister who was angered by Mrs. Sizer, raising his voice.
"Minister Famar, I remember you … you've been to Noland during the World Expo."
Mrs. Caesar recognized him. She looked at the several ministers and elders who were sitting in the room.
Although these ministers and senators did not directly own or manage a theater company, they were basically investors or collaborators of famous Falosi theater companies. Some of them were even playwrights.
It was not that Minister Famar was ignorant of Noland's new form of acting. It was because he knew of the existence of movies that he chose to appear here …
At this moment, Mrs. Sizer instantly understood the real purpose of these people.
"What … are you afraid of?" Mrs. Sizer's gaze swept over the stubborn and conservative ministers and senators. "What you are so proud of is surpassed by the devil you call barbarians?"
"You …"
"Enough."
The king waved his hand to stop this meaningless quarrel and then let a knight walk to the center of the court.
The knight held a translucent Origin Crystal in his hand, and this Origin Crystal was the one that recorded the video of "This Demon Isn't Too Cold".
"Karana, this is the Primordial Crystal we found in your luggage. Since my teacher isn't in the country, we could only let Master Mera appraise it. The result is that this Primordial Crystal is indeed a creation of the devil."
"But this crystal is also the crystallization of art. It's the best work since my Black Swan was established," said Mrs. Sizer.
"… The crystallization of art? Although I'm very interested, I can't rule out the possibility that this is a tool used by the devil to invade. " The king looked at Mrs. Sizer again. "Kalana, you said that the devil did not invade the Blackwood Forest. Then who … burned the forest and angered the Blackwood Duke?"
"The heresy court of the Kingdom of Saint, Your Majesty." Mrs. Caesar's tone became even colder. "Those deceitful Nephilic Judges have the ability to change their appearances. They disguised themselves as my husband and burned down the entire Blackwood Forest, causing thousands of Blackwood Elves to become homeless.
"The Kingdom of Saint …"
The king fell into deep thought after listening to Mrs. Sizer's narration. Falosi was weaker than the Kingdom of Saint. Although they were not allies, they were not enemies either.
Mrs. Sizer's words were equivalent to pushing Falosi to the opposite side of the Kingdom of Saint. If the king believed what Mrs. Sizer said, then Falosi would face the crisis of war.
The king was not afraid of war, but a meaningless war was not something anyone wanted to see.
"Where's the evidence?" he asked.
Mrs. Sizer looked around and could not find the Blackwood Elf girl. It seemed that as a witness, she did not successfully sneak into the court.
Moreover, the Blackwood Elf's testimony might let the king exonerate her, but Mrs. Sizer was not satisfied with that.
She wanted the Kingdom of Saint to pay with blood, lock those damn missionaries in the dungeon, and let the people of Falosi know that the Kingdom of Saint was their enemy and not a potential ally.
She needed stronger evidence … Only then would she have the confidence to ask the king to tear down the church of the Kingdom of Saint and lead the army to attack that country!
"I think … I have enough evidence to prove who our enemy is, Your Majesty."
An old voice suddenly sounded behind Mrs. Sizer. Mrs. Sizer turned her head and saw that it was not the Blackwood Elf, but an old man with white hair.
When the king saw the old man, he immediately stood up from his seat.
"Teacher Morgan, are you … back?" The king said.
"I saw many unforgettable things in Noland, Your Majesty, so I stayed a little longer. Now, please release Miss Kalana's handcuffs. She is innocent."
Morgan slowly walked into the courtroom. No one dared to question his words. Then, Morgan took out an Origin Crystal and activated it with his mana.
"The evidence is right here …"
The protocrystal in Morgan's hand projected a blinding light onto a blank wall in the court. Everyone's eyes were focused on the wall.
"Woof!"
In the next second, a yellow hound appeared on the screen and excitedly pounced on 'Professor Parker'.
"Teacher Morgan, this … is …" The king looked at the scene of his teacher playing with a hound and could not relate it to the 'Blackwood Forest Fire'.
"I'm old, so my memory is not as good as it used to be. I'm sorry everyone, I took the wrong one. It should be this one."
Morgan put away the protocrystal that contained 'The Loyal Hound Hachi' and took out a new one. This time, the scene on the wall became a lot darker.
