Chapter 483 I Have Another Witness
Catherine and Lilith arrived at this time.
Both groups followed the crowd to the courtroom and finally met successfully outside.
"Why are you here?" Leila helped Catherine jump off the black horse. She turned around and saw Lilith and her two guardians. Her heart began to beat wildly. It seemed that Highgarden was not a blessed place for Lilith. Nothing good happened every time she came.
Lilith didn't have time to explain, as she had also picked up the flyers on the road and already knew what Angel had done.
"Is this also part of your plan?" She asked Catherine anxiously, clutching the flyer.
"I just found out about this too." Catherine shook her head, holding in her hands the same flyers that had been thrown all over the city by children.
The two looked at each other and saw something bad in each other's eyes. Anqi's action was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard.
"What will happen to her?" Lilith began to follow Catherine into the courtroom. Wherever Catherine passed, the people only felt as if they were gently pushed by some force, and before they could react, they were passed through by several people.
Catherine did not respond. Her mind was in a mess. She had clearly controlled the Knight Viente and had also found a reason to send the goddess Marcia back home. She was just waiting for Lilith's matter to be resolved. She would immediately start an investigation and give justice to these innocent girls.
But does this silly girl Anqi really know the consequences of doing this now? If she is not 100% sure, then the end result of openly defaming the authority and sanctity of the church will be...
"I know, I know!"
Angel in the court had obviously completely lost her mind at this moment. Marcia's testimony was a variable that she had never expected even though she had rehearsed it many times in her mind over the past few days. She looked at Marcia fanatically again.
"You don't understand what he did to you, do you? Do you?!"
Marcia, who had been hanging her head like an ostrich, began to tremble visibly.
"Quiet! Quiet! Keep them away!" The judge had to bang the gavel again to make the women in the court shut up. They were so noisy.
"Oh..." Knight Wientele in the dock made a long, sarcastic sound at this time, "So, Miss Russell, what are you talking about? You understand all this, right?"
Lilith, who had squeezed to the front of the crowd, couldn't help but narrow her eyes when she heard this. Catherine next to her also had a bad look on her face. In the highest court of the empire, this scum who was accused of violating Shen Da was still launching attacks that were not worthy of being presented.
But this trick worked for Angie. Amid the buzzing discussions of the crowd, her face suddenly turned red and she was speechless for a long time.
"Can this trial be suspended?" Lilith turned to ask Catherine. In her opinion, Angel was not prepared at all and rushed to the courtroom in a fit of anger. The result would definitely not be in her favor.
Catherine gritted her teeth and crossed the outer protection of the courtroom. Her silver hair was too conspicuous, so the guards just took a glance and let her go. They didn't dare to stop her at all. In full view of everyone, Her Royal Highness walked up to the long table at the top of the courtroom with her head held high.
"King, Your Highness the Queen?"
The judge had already banged the gavel, apparently not expecting any changes, but he saw the princess remained silent and just glanced at the seat next to him.
On the right hand side of the judge sat a row of white-robed priests who represented the church to attend this public trial. But now the princess had obviously taken a fancy to their seats, so everyone saw that the long table fell into a brief chaos. Everyone stood up and moved to one side one by one, which looked a little funny in the serious courtroom.
But no one in the audience dared to laugh. Daniel, who was hiding in the crowd, had a gloomy face. Today was the day when the gods' favored ones set out. He deliberately chose today to instigate Angel to come and report. But he didn't know that the trial process would be so long. Catherine had even returned, but these bigwigs hadn't yet come to a conclusion. It was obviously just dealing with an escaped god!
"Angel Goddess." After sitting down, Catherine looked at Angel below and said word by word, "I think you need to rest."
An Qi had been frozen since Catherine showed up. Why was she here? Why did she call her Shen Da? Was she disappointed with her performance just now?
Tears welled up in Angie's eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back.
"I'm not a goddess anymore, Your Highness." Angel suddenly found that she was not as flustered as before. Although she didn't dare to take off her hood, she still bravely straightened her chest and said loudly, "I stand here today as Andre Russell's sister, as a descendant of a knight! To uphold the justice that is due!"
"This idiot!" Lilith heard Leila beside her suddenly curse.
"What's wrong?" Lilith was confused and didn't understand all the twists and turns.
"She didn't understand Her Highness Catherine's hint at all." Although Leila's tone was unfriendly, her eyes were full of worry. "How can she sue herself as a noble? According to the current law, suing the church is equivalent to suing the king. She will lose the protection of her noble status! She came here without knowing anything!"
Lucas turned around in shock. "That means if she loses, she won't be pardoned because of her noble status. Will she...really die?"
But Angie in the court knew nothing about the discussion of Lilith and others. The poor girl was successfully inspired by her own words. She remembered something and shouted before Catherine could speak again, "I have another witness——"
"That goddess named Nora, right?" Catherine's heart sank when she heard the question from the priest sitting next to her. The other party had completely grasped all of Angel's plans. Why was this so?
"That's right, Nora, Nora can testify for me!" But Angel obviously didn't notice this. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the side door open again, and a knight appeared dragging a little girl.
Nora Shenda was the only friend that Anqi made in the temple, or maybe she could be considered a friend. She used to despise this silly and stupid girl, but now she could only place all her hopes on her.
Nora was born in a poor family. She never had enough food in her childhood and was always smaller than others. When she came to the temple, she believed the old goddess' lies about restraining all desires, and she still didn't have enough food. She had been a goddess for so long, but she had hardly grown taller. She was still so small. When she was dragged over by the tall knight, only her toes were barely touching the ground. When they arrived in the court, as soon as the knight let go, Nora immediately collapsed to the ground, as if she was so scared that her legs went weak.
"Nora, good Nora." Angie rushed over and tried to pull her up, but the guards in the courtroom separated them with scabbards, preventing her from having any contact with the witness. "Tell me, Nora, you know best, Marcia is your friend, isn't she? It was you who asked me to treat her!"
Nora heard Angie's voice and looked over in panic.
"You are not a person favored by God at all."
Angel was stunned. Yes, she had indeed deceived the little fool in order to secretly use magic in the temple.
"I--"
"You deceived me, you, you are a minion of the devil."
