I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Handsome Men and Ugly Women(10)
Rose trembled as she looked at Joanna's expression. Joanna seemed much more ferocious than how she was portrayed at first. In the original story, Joanna accuses Diana of being a demon.
Diana trembled in fear as she was taken to the torture chamber in the church, and although Richard knew it, he did not save her.
He waited until Diana could stand it no longer, and then she dealt with Joanna and saved Diana as if she had been in the dark all along and had just found out.
Diana appreciates Richard for saving her life and the two grow closer.
Phillip and Richard are very similar. The two of them aimed their targets at cruelty and then appeared in front of them like rescuers.
Is it because their souls are the same?
But what about Blake?
I glanced at him as he clasped tightly onto my hand.
"I'll call the church now and ask the court!"
“You don't have to do that.”
Blake coldly interrupted Joanna.
"But in order for him to be judged, a priest must be present ..."
“Jayden, bring the high priest here. He should be reading a book at the inn near the bookstore.you can go to the place where the lights are on. ”
“Large Imam...?”
Joanna surprised. If the high priest is called, his plan will fail.
But Jayden hurried out.
Not only Joanna, Ancia was shocked as well.
Grand priest? Did he come to the valley of chaos, and even to the land belonging to Valin?
Ancia recalled the face of an angry old man at the door of darkness from seven years ago.
Soon Jayden returned. Beside him stood a man in his twenties and unlike the old man from his memories, he looked young and strong.
“Your Majesty, I can't believe you dragged the high priest so casually in the evening.I'll protest the imperial family. ”
This man's name was Marron, and he was appointed high priest just seven years ago. Back then, he was only 18 years old, but with Tenstheon's support, he took over the position of high priest.
Marron was very friendly with Blake. He became a high priest not only because of the emperor's support. He is also interested in Blake's powers.
"Well, you're up too" said Blake casually.
"That's right, but it's late."
"If you don't want to be called, you shouldn't have followed me."
In the morning, the high priest said he would stay at Valin's estate. That's right, but…
"You really can't call me in the middle of the night."
"I know, but you keep coming."
Blake retorted as if he was upset. Angia was surprised to see the sight.
It was clear that the man with a gentle disposition who grumbled like this was the high priest.
Perhaps after the fall of the Cassil family, the high priest was replaced. Although it was shocking because of how young he was, he was even more surprised by their casual banter.
It was shocking to see how comfortable the two of them were talking.
“I'm so good to you because I like you.”
"Stop it. I called you here because Joanna Dix applied for an experiment. ”
"Is that right?"
He wiped the gentle smile off his face and looked at Joanna.
Joanna looked at him with pride. Even if the high priest appeared, nothing would change.
If he was accused, he would definitely die. This was a tradition of the Asteric Empire that had been passed down for a thousand years.
“Yes, high priest! That woman named Rose is a monster!”
"Are you filing an experiment?"
"Yes." Yeah."
“According to Asmodian Court law, if Miss Rose is not a monster, Lady Dix will be executed. Do you understand?”
“...yes, I understand.”
"Then, I will continue with your accusation."
"Yes, take him to church now!"
No matter if he was a monster or not, if they tortured him he would definitely confess. Even if he did not confess, he would die of torture.
“It's late at night, don't do it today. Do you have any proof that Miss Rose is a monster?”
“Look at his horrible face! Is there any clearer evidence than that?”
Why did he ask for proof? Just torture him!
Joanna screamed in her heart.
“Large Priest, we must get rid of that monster right now!”
After listening to him, the priest asked Blake this time.
Angia looked at Blake. His words would decide whether he should keep his life or not. Even at this moment, Blake firmly held his hand.
"No, he's human."
Blake smiled gently at Ancia, and the priest nodded.
“Then he is clearly a human.”
Suddenly, Jayden opened the door. The knights waiting outside entered.
They greeted the Crown Prince and stood back up to receive the high priest's orders.
“Joanna accuses a human being of being a monster.Drag this sinner out.”
“T-wait! What about the investigation? How about the torture!?”
Father Marron did not take the time to avenge the panicked Joanna.
“The Crown Prince, who has the power of a goddess, has testified directly. Is there any evidence greater than that?”
Blake was the only human on this continent who could use the power of light at will.
Even Marron, the priestess, acknowledged Blake's power and expressed his respect.
In other words, there was no evidence that had any greater power than his words.
Blake has the power of a goddess so he can't be fooled by monsters.
From the moment Joanna filed the trial, the results were clear.
It was too late and he realized it now.
Acting on the orders of the high priest, the knights dragged Joanna out.
“T-wait! I-I'm the only daughter of Viscount Dix!”
He thought that he had the highest status in the land so they wouldn't treat him like this just because of the monstrous monsters.
"Why are you doing this? Unhand me! Your majesty!I made a mistake, I will retract my accusation! Please let me go!”
Joanna pleads but Blake doesn't care. Finally, Joanna was dragged out.
Before the door closed, Joanna caught a glimpse of Blake touching the monster's face with a gentle smile on her face.
***
Joanna was thrown into a dungeon in the mansion.
But he's not afraid.
'That's ridiculous! I am the one who deserves his affection! So why does he hate me and look at that monster so affectionately!?'
As expected, the Crown Prince was already swayed by the monster. No matter how much he thought about it, he could not understand the situation.
Joanna gritted her teeth. When he was dragged by the knights, he was frightened for a while, but now he was calm.
Who her? The only daughter of Viscount Dix of course.
Just because he accused an ordinary person of being a monster did not mean he would be executed.
After the high priest left, Imam Alt, who was originally in charge of the Vallin region, would take over the case. Then, he will be released soon.
His father would never be able to leave him in a place like this. He would be furious when he knew he was being dragged to a place like this.
This incompetent knight! When he gets out of here, he'll kill them all!
Joanna trembled in anger as she looked around. Could it be that he had to sleep in this room without a pillow?
“Hey, open the door! Open door!"
He relentlessly knocked on the prison door, but the door did not move in the slightest. Joanna kept shouting but no one opened the door. Finally, he fell asleep on the hard stone floor.
The sound of the door rattling woke Joanna. When the door opened, a waiter came with his food. The dungeon did not even have a window, let alone a clock, but seeing food brought in, it meant it was already morning.
"Are you telling me to eat this !?"
Joanna screamed after she saw boiled potatoes in an old wooden bowl.
"Come back and bring me a decent meal!"
Joanna gave the order but the servant just smirked at her.
“Hey, don't you know who I am? you wanna die? Don't you know what will happen if you treat me like this ?! ”
"What's gonna happen?"
"You stupid waitress!"
Joanna screamed in anger, but the waiter just glared at her.
'Really, I handed this servant's younger brother over to the asmodian court.'
I should have killed him then too.
“I'll make sure you end up like your sister! When I get out of here..”.
"Do you think you're still the Viscount's daughter?"
Joanna froze at the servant's words.
"What…?"
“Your father was arrested and Priest Alt was also taken away. The people of this region have been marching since dawn to testify to your evil deeds. They were all very happy because they could finally get their revenge.”
