Episode 55's
An awkward and pressing atmosphere enveloped the meeting room, the Crown Prince was still speechless after snapping at Lady Arina, who was,
'Basic, if it wasn't for Lily, I would definitely ignore this' the Crown Prince thought, ' thought,
"Well, I'll ask from the witnesses.The first one, Lady Veronica, you were one of the guests Lady Arina invited to the event, right?You came with Viscount Cedrik, your betrothed",
Lady Veronika looked nervous, but she could hide her nervousness well, and answer the Crown Prince's question,
"Right Your Majesty, I saw for myself how Lady Arina insulted the Marchioness, as well as the Lord Viscount, even she could not bear to see the Marchioness who insulted Lady Arina blatantly" explained Lady Veronika,
"Is that so?Lady Arina, do you admit that?" ask the Crown Prince to Arina,
"That-that's.." Arina did not answer the Crown Prince and continued to lower her head,
"Well, Lady Hasley please explain your testimony", the Crown Prince told Lady Hasley, she was one of the witnesses who bribed Duke Wilen before the meeting,
"That's not right, Your Majesty! It was the Marchioness who insulted and demeaned Lady Arina, and what Lady Veronika said was a lie!", Lady Hasley explained in a trembling voice,
"What do you say Lady Hasley?!Didn't you yourself also say that Lady Arina has absolutely no manners towards the Marchioness?Why are you now siding with Lady Arina?!" Lady Veronika resisted, she did not accept Lily continued to be demeaned,
At the same time, Lucas looked closely at the two Lady, before he had also investigated the 9 witnesses who would be present at the meeting,
'Lady Hasley, she's the daughter of a Baron in the south.The news is that Baron owes a lot to the casino, and then Duke Wilen helped her for her own purposes, it's certain that if Lady Hasley betrayed, then her family would be ruined' lucas thought seriously,
His gaze turned to Yusto and Yesra who looked calm and calm.Lucas who was astonished by the two of them glanced at Ian over there,
"What?" asked Ian flatly,
"young people and girls sitting on the left are your sisters, right?" ask Lucas to make sure,
"Hm?" Ian looked at the young man and the lady Lucas was referring to,
"True, they were Yusto and Yesra who 4 years ago became the second test trials of witches in the Holy Temple, why?" ask Ian back, please,
"They're all grown up, how old are they?" ask Lucas again,
"21 years old, they're twins but they don't look alike at all" Ian replied,
"That's it", though",
The debate between Lady Veronika and Lady Hasley still continued, The Crown Prince broke down the table without a word coming out of his mouth.The room went back silent and quiet,
"It is not good to extend the meeting, the whole people see us from the magic screen" said the Crown Prince in a cold tone,
A bodyguard approached the Crown Prince and whispered something,
"Your Majesty, Saint Zergan has permission to enter the room" said the bodyguard,
"Let him enter" replied the Crown Prince,
"HIS MAJESTY SAINT ZERGAN ENTERED THE ROOM!!"
The whole audience immediately stormed because of the arrival of Zergan who arrived, they whispered to each other, each other,
"Why is Master Saint here?!.."
"No notice of this! right?!"
Zergan entered the room carrying some papers and approached the Crown Prince.The Crown Prince stood up and greeted Zergan, as well as the audience,
"Saint, what are you here for?" ask the Crown Prince,
"I brought a 'big secret' to you" Zergan said, handing over some of the papers he was carrying,
"What's this?" The Crown Prince began to read the paper, to his surprise what he read,
"Lady Arina's! How dare you-!" The Crown Prince looked extremely annoyed as soon as he read the paper,
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?." asked Lucas,
"Read this out loud!let everyone know the rot!" The Crown Prince gave the paper to Lucas and asked him to read it,
"Eh?.good!..With this, the Map of Arbora of the Holy Temple, allied with Lady Arina Wilen, Duke Wilen's second daughter.All expenses and needs are borne directly by Lady Arina Wilen.Note: The: Lady Arina and the Reverend Arbora have approved the use of the Dieffenbachia Plant, as a poison for use on Lady Lily Everon..Young Princess Duke Everon!? WHAT THE FUCK IS LADY ARINA!?" the whole room was immediately startled by the information that Lucas delivered, no exception Ian, Lily, and even Yusto, Yesra.
"S-I didn't do that!! The Marchioness must have planned that!I-I'm innocent!" elak Arina is nervous,
"Not guilty.. CALL THE PRIEST NOW!" Zergan immediately asked the bodyguard to bring Pastor Arbora into the room.Look pale and frightened face of the priest, the priest,
"S-I'm facing His Highness the Crown Prince." he said,
"YOU!" Arina stood up from her place and approached the priestess Arbora with an annoyed expression,
"L-lady!W-forgive sa-akh!!"Arina slapped him to the floor,
"Guard!Hold Arina!" zergan's orders, the,
"GET OFF!!I HAVE TO TEACH THIS FUCKING PRIEST A LESSON!" arina was full of emotion,
"Lady.are you human?How can you feel completely innocent?" asked Ian coldly,
"Young Master!I-I am the devil!I'm the same as you!That means we are indeed God-determined soul mates!" Arina starts to go crazy because of Ian, while Ian is very annoyed with Arina, who is,
"Devil meets the devil.interesting." Ian muttered faintly, smiling,
"Really!We are the soul mates-mister!"
"But the strong devil always eats the weaker demon..Lady" replied Ian in a cold, suppressing, and extremely horrifying tone coupled with her thin smile,
"!?!s-i'm.." Arina was so frightened that she saw Ian's gaze,
"Lady Arina and Reverend Arbora, you must be severely punished for attempted murder!" said the Crown Prince,
"Why should I be punished?!I just did it all on Lady Arina's orders!He promised to treat my sick mother in the village!B-but.he killed my mother..!" said Reverend Arbora, weeping bitterly,
"W-what?!Killing the mother of a priest?!Lady Arina!You've really gone too far!" said one of Ian's followers,
"So, Lily's excuse lay for 3 months..Because you?.." Lucas stared intently at Arina, Eve killing out of her, and,
"G-grand Duke!I am not guilty!!I am always right!" arina replied boldly, she doesn't even feel guilty at all, either,
*Plak!
A hard slap drifted into Arina's face, Lucas could no longer bear Arina's outrageous and overstepping behavior,
"You're crazy!?Why did you poison my sister?!Do you know how worried I was in the war when I heard the news!?", cried Lucas with emotion,
"K-sister..!"Lily approached Lucas trying to stop him.The first time Lily saw Lucas was so angry like that, even her body trembled in fear seeing Lucas like that,
"Don't stop me Lily!This woman should get her payback!",
"Sister!This is not a good time to be angry!Please stop!"
Lucas tries to hold back his anger because Lily, he is afraid Lily will think too much about it, while Lily's condition is still not fully recovered,
"All right.."
"Sit down brother"
Lucas returns to his place, and Lily faces Arina directly,
"Happy?" ask Lily calmly, though,
"It's all because of you." murmured Arina,
"Why?you envious?" ask Lily again,
"Yes.i was very envious.when I liked the Grand Duke once, but he loved you too much and did not realize my existence in the slightest.then when I had fallen in love with Young Master Levian..you're..TAKE IT FROM ME AGAIN!I REALLY HATE YOU!",
"Then?you trying to kill me?so stupid, how did you use that brain?"
"What did you say?!You little lady ja-!",
"I can kill you whenever I want, now I'll do it, how?want to feel what I've ever felt?very good pain as soon as death is about to pick you up",
"W-what do you mean..?"
A gentle wind passed right in front of Arina, suddenly her forehead was bleeding so much, scratches hit her forehead somehow, when,
"DOLUCH!!" Arina looked very in pain with the scratch, though,
"Geez, Ian was right huh, the weak devil will be eaten by a stronger demon." said Lily with a big smile,
"Marchioness!!you're passing!how can you hurt an innocent person?!" shouted one of Duke Wilen's followers,
"Not guilty? Attempted murder, murder of a priest's guardian, use of forbidden plants, bribery of priests, and contempt of the divine person's messenger, do you know how high of a consequence Lady Arina will have?"
"Sad..!"
"He was not proved to be an insult to a saint!There are no honest witnesses!" duke Wilen said,
"There you know"
Yusto and Yesra stood up from their places and walked to the Crown Prince,
"Yusto's?Yesra?" Lily wondered why the two of them were advancing before the Crown Prince,
"Relax Lily, everything will be clear once you see this" Yusto took out a tool from his pocket and showed it to everyone present,
"That!Recorder!" shouted one of Duke Wilen's followers,
"I'm going to show you the real events, listen to this footage" An image floated in the air, again Lily was shocked by the magic in this world,
'The virtual!'
The screen shows a picture of Lily and Arina starting to talk, their voices even sounding clear.People who pay close attention to the recording do not believe the word Arina told Lily,
"Now everything has been proven.I'm determined Lady Arina is guilty!" The Crown Prince made the decision according to all the evidence available,
"Grand Duke, summarize and read"
"In accordance with all the laws of the Raveldra Empire, Lady Arina has been shown to commit crimes in the form of attempted murder, murder of priestly parents, use of forbidden plants, bribery, and insult to the holy man messenger of God, the Lord said,he will be put to death in the form of a beacon!"
"T-no..NO!!" Arina escaped, and,
"Lady Arina!"
