Traveling through time as a villain, I became her heart thief

It was true for Richard, and it was true for Mr. Hohenheim.

Therefore, even if there is no real person present, Catalina cannot be even remotely rude.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Knight Princess."

The black figure directly opposite spoke slowly, and his hoarse voice seemed to ring a bell for the entire Judgment Palace.

Immediately afterwards, the high-ranking black figure glanced at the other participants and slowly said:

"Then, let the trial begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadows were finally able to move.

They glanced at Catalina in the room, and then quickly moved their eyes to Richard behind them.

At this time, Richard was foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

"Richard Plantagenet, Happy Empire was born in Night Village, the culprit of this invasion of Beloved City..."

"According to the dogma of pure love, punishment should be meted out."

The tone of a black shadow on the far right suddenly became low, cold and lifeless.

As if it was a trumpet, the dark figures began to discuss in lowered voices:

"It has caused serious damage to public residential buildings and should be reformed through labor. It may be good to pay off the debt with merit."

"No, he actively disrupts public order and forces citizens to live in a homeless situation. It's hard to say whether he can change his ways."

"Using the Happy Blood Mist, he almost bewitched the members of the Supervision Detachment. It is better not to give such a dangerous person the opportunity to contact the public. It would be more appropriate to sentence him directly."

Everyone present discussed Richard's life and death calmly and objectively, as if they were deciding what to eat for breakfast.

At this time, all the shadows fell silent in unison.

They looked towards the high platform of their seats, waiting for the final judgment of the high-ranking black shadow.

The corners of the high-ranking shadow's lips were slightly raised as he scanned all the other judges present and made a preliminary judgment on Richard's verdict:

"In view of Richard Plantagenet's numerous crimes, he is sentenced to be thrown into an underground prison and sentenced to the highest punishment."

"But considering that the prisoner is a member of the Pleasure Empire, using the Juicer Queen Succubus will not destroy his faith, but will reward him."

Having said this, the high-ranking black figure paused, and then slowly said:

"Therefore, we decided to cancel the original succubus, change it to a middle-aged male greasy succubus, and sentence him to 20 years of solitary confinement."

"Do you have any objections?"

"No objection!"

Everyone reached in unison, and Catalina bowed her head slightly, agreeing with the judgment of the high-ranking black shadow.

This is really an extremely harsh punishment.

As for why I chose the male succubus...

Catalina said she didn’t understand, but was shocked.

At this time, Richard had fainted and completely lost consciousness.Poor him, he still doesn't know what fate he will face next.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the high-ranking shadow suddenly dropped, his eyes looked coldly at Catalina, and then he slowly said:

"Miss Knight Ji, Mr. Richard's sentence is over, but I have a question."

The black shadow's voice was emotionless, but it made people feel numb.

"Is there another person from the Happy Empire?"

Catalina's movements stopped slightly, and then her eyes gradually lowered.

What she was most worried about was still here.

…………

PS: Deduct 1 to get a male succubus, and another chapter will be added tonight

Chapter 89 (Additional update!) The verdict against Hohenheim

"Sir, I don't understand who you are talking about."

Catalina maintained her salute and her tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

In the quiet and dark courtroom, the shadows were speechless for a moment. They did not expect Catalina to give such an answer.

"Knight Princess, it is not wise to choose to hide it at this time."

The dark figure second on the left spoke in a low tone, seeming to be dissatisfied with Katarina's answer.

"As the captain of the Inspectorate Squadron, you should understand the consequences of this kind of thing for covering up the same crime, right?" The third black figure on the right agreed.

The other judges' eyes were sharp, and the originally quiet Judgment Palace became noisy.

Everyone gradually pointed their finger at Catalina and the sinner she was trying to protect.

At this time, the high-ranking black figure finally spoke and calmed down the brief commotion:

"Miss Knight Ji, I think maybe I didn't express myself clearly."

She said in a neutral voice, changed her posture slightly, and then spoke slowly:

"Hohenheim, you should have heard of this name."

As he spoke, the tone of the high-ranking black figure was slightly cold, his eyes were fixed on Catalina like a sharp blade, and then he said:

"He was accused by Richard Plantagenet of being a member of the Happy Empire, and the suspicion is serious."

"Even for the safety of the residents of Beloved City, you should arrest him first and then interrogate him."

"You failed to complete this mission. This is your dereliction of duty. Do you understand?"

Catalina maintained her original posture, motionless from beginning to end, until the high-ranking black shadow finished speaking.

At this time, all the other shadows were staring at her, waiting for Katarina to give her reason for not arresting Hohenheim.

In the quiet darkness, one could hear the sound of steel needles falling to the ground.

Catalina took a deep breath and felt her heart beat faster for no reason.

What she says next will determine Mr. Hohenheim's fate.

She didn't know why, but she obviously hated that guy, but still couldn't bear to see him being slandered.

Before leaving, Catalina read an unspeakable secret from his complicated smile.

"My lord, I have indeed heard of the name Hohenheim from Richard Plantarina."

"However, there is actually another reason why I did not bring him back."

"I judge that he is not guilty of any crime."

One by one, Catalina uttered these words.

The sound of gasping air sounded from the positions of many dark figures present.

There is no doubt that the consequences of daring to directly contradict the high-ranking black shadow are very serious.

Catalina naturally understands this.

So what she has to say is just the beginning.

"But." Catalina cleared her throat and said with a smile, "I also understand your adults' concerns."

As she spoke, Catalina slowly stood up straight, looked at the high-ranking black figure with a smile, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and then explained:

"Although in my opinion Mr. Hohenheim does not have conclusive evidence, all suspicion points to him."

"This is also obviously extremely abnormal."

"Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen surveillance on him and even bring him directly back here to extract a confession."

"Even if your lords insist on executing him, I will execute it immediately."

At this point, Catalina felt her breathing quicken, and her heart jumped into her throat.

At the end directly opposite the round table, the eyes of a high-ranking black shadow lit up, seemingly aroused by Catalina's words.

"Oh? You clearly anticipated our thoughts, but you still didn't bring him back..."

"It's because you have other considerations, right?"

The face of the high-ranking black figure is blurry, but you can vaguely see the corners of her lips rising slightly, and her slender legs are raised and placed on the other leg.

"You are allowed to speak your mind."

The high-ranking shadow paused, then added:

"But if you fail to convince the judge present, you will be as guilty as him."

Catalina nodded heavily, bowed slightly and saluted:

"Yes, thank you sir for the opportunity."

Taking a deep breath, Catalina secretly clenched her fists and spoke very quickly:

"I think the abilities that Mr. Hohenheim is currently showing are very dangerous."

"Obviously he is only at the level of a trainee magician, but he can become an alchemist with a very high success rate. It is obvious that he is extremely talented."

"Not only that, his hypnotic powder is also very effective."

"Compared with Richard's happy blood mist, the effect of hypnotic powder is more subtle, and it can change a person's temperament more profoundly, without anyone noticing."

"Masters, just imagine, if this kind of person is determined to escape, how many people will be needed to catch him?"

Having said this, Catalina glanced at everyone present, then put on a helpless expression and sighed:

"I ask myself that I am not [-]% sure that he can be arrested."

"And the supervisory detachment I am in is also stretched thin."

"Therefore, it is neither feasible nor necessary to make an enemy of him and arrest him and transport him here for interrogation."

In the dark and empty palace, all the black figures were silent.

Catalina smiled slightly and then said:

"I share the sentiments of your lordships and cannot tolerate any pleasure staining this land."

"That's why I want to defuse this unknown bomb in Hohenheim no matter what."

"But now we have other enemies."

At this point, Catalina's tone suddenly became low, and then she spoke with a solemn expression:

"According to Richard Plantarina, there are currently at least nine senior members of the Happy Empire infiltrated."

"They are all high-ranking members of the Happy Empire, and they are quite powerful."

"If we use the strength of the surveillance team to arrest and imprison Mr. Hohenheim, we may neglect defense and be stretched thin."

Having said this, Catalina paused deliberately to observe the reactions of the shadows around her.

Unexpectedly, the courtroom gradually became quiet.

What Katerina said was true.

Facing the unprecedented invasion of the Empire of Joy, no amount of inspection power will be enough.

What's more, Richard Plantagenet only said that nine people invaded, but he never said that there were only nine people.

The dilemma caused everyone present to fall into silence.

The corners of Catalina's lips raised slightly.

“So I came up with a brilliant proposal.”

"If we can win Richard over to our side, we may be able to kill two birds with one stone and exert a power far beyond that of a single surveillance detachment."

"It's rare to find such a wonderful bait."

"The top executives of the Happy Empire infiltrated the City of Beloved with the purpose of finding Mr. Hohenheim and bringing him back."

"We can use this to lure the snake out of its hole and defeat the spies of the Happy Empire one by one."

Having said this, Catalina showed a confident smile, and her red eyes looked at the farthest corner of the round table, where the high-ranking black figure was.
