The female devils I saved came to my door

At that cardinal meeting, all the bishops were surprised by the arrest of the "red-haired witch" and expressed respect for the compassionate bishop who captured the witch.

She did produce evidence and claimed that in a few days, she would bring the witch to Glory City for a public trial.

Ciel didn't even say anything, but because he was "involved with the witch, it was a teacher-student relationship", she took advantage of the situation and demanded that he be removed from his position.

Now, he was no longer a member of the papal bodyguard, but a relative of the suspect.

Sirna was also removed as a bishop.

The incident happened suddenly. The Pope looked at the arrogant Bishop of Mercy and did not speak to protect them.I just want to take away the picture book "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna" and read it.

The compassionate bishop agreed graciously. After all, Lovna was in her hands and this evidence was dispensable.

After returning to the Pope's office, the "Gift for Teacher Charles" in the corner of the picture book seemed particularly eye-catching to Charles.

Opening the book "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna", there are those such as "Lovna signed a contract with the 'devil friend' to save the residents of Ipoli", "Lovna acted righteously to save Weilan City", "Lovna Chapters such as "Lovna fights against the evil lord" and "Lovna encourages serfs to fight against tax collectors" were presented one by one in front of everyone in the form of a three-dimensional picture album.

The more Charles looked at it, the more his heart grew colder.

The workmanship of this picture book is very similar to the one he made for Lovna in the past.

But the story recorded in the picture book in front of me is no longer a fairy tale to comfort the girl. Instead, it is all evidence of guilt.

Moreover, everything is consistent with what the red-haired witch has done in the past two years.

According to the testimony, these things were made by the demon who made the contract with Lovna, and were blasphemous texts that boasted about the crimes committed by that demon.Coupled with the identification of witnesses and the demonic aura on Lovna's body, it is enough to prove her identity as a red-haired witch.

But Charles is more concerned about another question: "Where is Lovna? ​​I want to see her!"

The Pope reminded: "Char, Lovna is currently being held in the private residence of Bishop Mercy. To avoid suspicion, you'd better not see her."

"I have to go see her!" Charles was really anxious: "Damn it, how could she get together with the devil? She is just an ordinary little girl who doesn't know magic, how could she become a witch? What kind of devil can she be? Contract...whatever this is...she must have been framed...she..."

"Teacher, don't say bad words in front of Your Majesty..." Sirna reminded in a low voice: "I am also surprised, but... I am afraid that Lovna was really bewitched by the devil, and then she was possessed by the devil and became a person who spreads chaos. A witch. Maybe this is true..."

Monroe remained silent, standing behind Charles like a sculpture.

He didn't know about Ciel and Lovna's past, so he didn't comment on it all.

"Charles, calm down, you used to be very calm, why are you like this now?" St. Ann IV has always been very calm: "Now that the incident has happened suddenly, I can't help you. In a few days, the Mercy Bishop will Lovna is brought to Glory City to be publicly tried by the bishops. Only then can you see her."

"Direct public trial? What if Lovna is found guilty?"

Monroe interjected: "If she was manipulated by the devil, she would be hanged; if she took the initiative to sign a contract with the devil, she would be burned in the square."

"Burning?!"

He rarely gets emotional, and even the usually calm Pope was a little surprised: "Charles, you are too excited. I will summon the Mercy Bishop tomorrow and ask if I can make an exception for you and let you meet with your students. ——But don’t have any expectations, she and I are very difficult to deal with——If Lovna is innocent, we will definitely rescue her. Now, you have to adjust your breathing and calm down."

"...Yes, Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Sirna looked at Ciel who was in a bad state, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

In the end, Charles chose to stay in the bishop's office, take a nap on the floor, and wait until dawn for the results.

86. Reunion always makes love even hotter.

After staying up all night, Charles was not allowed to see Lovna in the end.

Because the situation was beyond the Pope's control.

The news that the red-haired witch was arrested caused an uproar in Glory City.Countless pairs of eyes are staring at the Holy See, inquiring about the authenticity of the news.

The details about the witch Lovna also spread quickly under the deliberate instigation of some people.

Everyone on the streets knew that this witch was a girl from Iboli, a small country in the Great Blacksend region.

She signed a contract with a demon whose identity was doubtful, became the demon's accomplice, and went to Glory City with an evil purpose. However, she was captured by the well-aware Bishop of Mercy and her heroic knights, and was finally arrested.

Although this witch comes from a humble background, her backstage seems to be very powerful: her sister is a favored student around the Pope and is the youngest district bishop in history, Hilna;

Her teacher, Charles, was also the bodyguard whom the Pope relied on the most for his promotions on many occasions. He had made many achievements in recent years;

During the plague, her hometown also received special support from the Paladins of the Holy See...

Although these unclear rumors were not explicitly targeted at Saint Ann IV, their intentions were self-evident.

Moreover, the compassionate bishop may have been trying to build momentum and publicity. She encouraged the cardinals of the Holy See to send invitations to nearly a hundred nobles of more than a dozen kingdoms, republics, and principalities, asking them to attend the witch's public trial as jurors.

Many of these people suffered heavy losses in the series of riots and uprisings caused by the witch.There were also relatives of some nobles who were killed by the mob incited by the red-haired witch.

Their attitude can be imagined.

According to St. Ann IV's prediction: "That Bishop of Mercy was my competitor decades ago. Now, she has caught this 'witch Lovna'. And Lovna's teacher Charles is my master The promoted personal guard, Lovna’s sister Sirna, is also a student I value, if you can be implicated, you can shake my position along the way."

"Then can I see Luovna again?" Charles asked.

Monroe explained: "What your Majesty means is that your student Luovna has become a tool of political struggle. How did she sign a contract with the devil? Whether she was forced to do so or whether she is guilty... I don't know at this time. That's so important. You have to protect yourself now, Ciel. If you visit Lovna while she is in custody, someone will identify you the next day and say that you are also a heretic related to the devil."

Hilna, who had been pursed her lips and had red and swollen eyes, also advised: "Teacher Charles... At this time, you should avoid suspicion and don't give others instructions. I know you are worried about Lovna, but don't be an impulsive fool. thing."

"I'm not impulsive, I have to do what I should do! Lovna and I haven't seen each other for two or three years. How could she, such a good child, become a devil contractor? How could she become a red-haired witch? She must have a reason, I have to ask these things face to face! I have to see her..."

Sirna, Monroe, and the Pope all tried to persuade him to calm down.They are all rationally analyzing and thinking about countermeasures——

After all, at this moment, Lovna is no longer just Lovna, but a sinner who signed a contract with the devil; a key criminal who has attracted the attention of hundreds of powerful nobles; and a tool used by the pope's opponents to attack the pope himself. ; It is a time bomb that may affect their own safety...

Therefore, he was the only one among everyone present who was truly worried about Lovna's own safety, and he naturally became the most impulsive person.

In the end, even Hilna had no choice but to tell Charles: "Teacher, regarding Lovna's matter, we can only ask Mian to persuade other bishops to see if they can find a way to delay the matter and wait for changes. For our sake For the sake of your safety and your reputation, we cannot meet with Lovna in private at this time."

"..." He looked at Sirna, who was more calm and calm than him in the face of major changes, and didn't know what to think.

In the following days, according to St. Ann IV: the situation was not optimistic.

Not only the cardinals and priests in Glory City, but also in all the places where the "red-haired witch" once incited rebellions, nobles wrote to the Holy See, demanding severe punishment for this witch who colluded with the devil.

There are even some lords who claim to form a coalition army, invade the Great Black Sende, and send troops to the small country of Ipoli to burn down Lovna's hometown and slaughter her entire family.

"The day of the public trial has not come yet, but it seems that they will not be satisfied without burning her at the stake. Charles, some people even think that you and Silna have to be interrogated as Lovna's accomplices."

There seems to be no way out.

He was not even allowed to see Lovna.

He could only continue and even spend the night in the Pope's office, occasionally flipping through the book "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna" to pass the time.

This picture book is really exquisite, even better than Charles's own workmanship.In the picture book, the glorious red-haired saint has saved countless oppressed people in every city, every manor, and every country, and she can calmly accept people's cheers and love. "

This picture book, as a "gift to Teacher Charles", appeared in front of him at such a time, which was really a bit ironic.

…………

"Char, teacher..." Sirna had actually been by her teacher's side, and she felt sad to see her teacher so worried about Lovna.

"What's wrong, Sirna?"

"Actually, although technically we can't go see Lovna, I still have other ways."

"any solution?"

"Concealment spell." After some hesitation, Hilna decided to take a risk: "Teacher, although I am not as knowledgeable as those older bishops and priests, my talent in certain spells is unmatched by anyone. No matter how strict the prison guards who guard Lovna are, I can still sneak you in. However, if the failure is discovered, we will definitely be in big trouble."

"...How sure are you?"

Hilna opened her mouth, intending to answer [-]% to [-]%, but after seeing Teacher Charles's expectant gaze, she gritted her teeth and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely succeed."

------------------Lovna---------------

For Lovna, her experience was truly terrible.

After parting ways with Miss Devil, she tried her best to trudge through the rugged mountain roads, concealed her face, and asked around, and finally saw Glory City, this magnificent religious center.

She just wanted to see Ciel and reunite with him.

As a result, not only was he turned away from the city, but he was also captured by the vicious "Bishop of Mercy".

After the bishop used the spirit to force him out of her experience, he not only ridiculed her as a fool who had been deceived by the devil, but also took away her picture book, claiming that it was evidence of her crime and wanted her to undergo a public trial.

"Little girl, you are just an idiot. Do you really think that the devil is accompanying you to save civilians and resist oppression? You are just two bastards who committed rebellion. Remember - those scoundrels who died in the riots were all instigated by you. , harmed by you! Without you, they could have lived a little longer. The stakes will be your final fate."

These words were like a basin of cold water, completely pouring through her heart.

Doubts were confirmed, she was indeed not a hero, but a fool.

Obviously at the beginning, I just wanted to reunite with Teacher Charles, and I just wanted to prevent the residents of Iboli from being killed by the plague - but in the end, I was stupid, naive, and incompetent, so that I was used by the devil and left. It's come to this point.

After all, she is not Sirna, she has no magic talent, and she has no chance to become a saint. She is just a fool.

He has been played by the devil as a fool, thinking that he can do good things and save others, but in the end he only ends up like this.

This was the price she had to pay for signing a contract with the devil.

But, Mr. Charles, what will happen to him?

Will he be implicated in the stupid things he committed?Would she be disappointed if she knew what she had done?

She began to panic. The thought of Teacher Charles being disappointed in her made her feel scarier than death.

She hoped that Charles would forgive her.

But now it seems that is unlikely.

But she still wanted to see Teacher Charles, wanted to tell her everything she had gone through to see him, and hoped to hear a true evaluation of herself from his mouth, whether it was reprimand, criticism or anything else.

She was locked in a prison that was airtight on all sides, with magic carvings all over the walls and only one small window.

She finally entered Glory City, the great city where Teacher Charles and Sister Sirna lived - but in the death row prison of Glory City.

In about a month, she will be charged and put on trial.

According to the merciful bishop: "You will be burned on the stake, servant of the devil."

Maybe, Teacher Charles would see her then - a corpse that had been burned to charcoal.

Her fear grew.

The darkness in the prison amplified her fear and brought about all kinds of confusing illusions. She even felt that she could smell the disgusting and pungent smell of coke.

She huddled up on the ugly bed board in a daze, waiting for her trial.

until this day.

After a slight noise, she saw some fine luminous lines appearing on the dark wall. Then, a pair of shining arches appeared on the wall. There was a hazy white light in the door, which she could not see at all. Find out what that is.

Lovna rubbed her eyes, thinking it was an illusion she had when she was extremely frightened.He shrank back in worry, but after thinking about it, he was no longer so afraid, so he sat up calmly and numbly, and approached the door of light flickering in the darkness.

"Lovna?"

The familiar call made her stunned for a moment.

Then, she saw the person she thought about day and night walking out of the flickering light door.

"Lovna, are you okay?"

She looked up at the face that she thought about day and night, and reached out to hug him, but she was afraid that he would be disgusted by her dirty body that had been kept in a cage for so long.The outstretched arms froze in mid-air awkwardly.

But Charles didn't care about this. He picked up Lovna and held her in his arms.

Lovna accepted the hug. She felt that the teacher's embrace was so strong that she could almost rub herself into his body.

He seemed to have come with Sirna. He was not angry with Lovna. He stayed with Lovna, said a lot of comforting words to her, and patiently listened to her cries.

Lovna no longer remembers what they said.

She only remembered the promise that Charles made before leaving the prison, "Lovna, I will rescue you, don't be afraid."

She only felt that even if she had to be executed on the stake tomorrow, she was still the happiest person in the world at this moment.

Sure enough, Teacher Charles would not blame her. Teacher Charles would always appear when she needed her. Teacher Charles was the best person for her.

The feeling of that hug made Lovna's already almost paranoid feelings even stronger.

………………

Even if time passes, even if the kingdom of East Ipoli has stood firm in the wind and rain for nearly a thousand years, even if she has become the legendary unattainable queen... Lovna will tremble with excitement every time she recalls that hug late at night.

Now, Teacher Charles has returned, and he is waiting for her in the capital of her empire.

"Ciel..." Lovna recited the name in a low voice.

After saying that, she streaked across the sky like a comet, flying towards the magnificent city of Lovnania.

She wanted to experience the reunion with her teacher again.

86.The arrival of the Queen

There are still many plainclothes and spies around the Imperial City of Lovnania.These people worked tirelessly to search around the imperial city in order to uncover traces of Ciel.
