In the Myria world, the nobility holds many privileges, and even the church usually cannot arrest or interrogate nobles without the lord's consent.
But there is one exception. That is when the nobles collude with the evil groups determined by the Holy Court, or when the nobles themselves are involved in demonic matters and the evidence is conclusive.
There is no doubt that the Castell family, who has ambiguous relations with Rose Society and hired Demon Hunters to disrupt the sacred judgnt conducted by the Holy Court, has crossed the bottom line of the Judgnt Knights.
They et all the conditions for the church to arrest nobles.
As for how to deal with the issue after the arrest, that's another matter. The church will definitely negotiate with the feudal lords.
If they are not demonic themselves, nobles generally won't be in danger of losing their lives, but they will certainly have to pay a price for offending the Holy Court, at least figuratively they are forced to shed so skin. Whether it's the nobles themselves or the families they represent...
As for the subsequent matters, Rajiv didn't need to worry about them. That was sothing for the Duke and the High Priest to worry about.
As an executor of the Holy Court, he only knew that the Castell, who dared to provoke the authority of the Inquisition and the Holy Court itself, must be punished, along with those Demon Hunters whose minds were clouded and were misled!
A total of five Second-tier Judgnt Knights simultaneously stepped forward to participate in the sacred judgnt.
Behind them, more than ten First-tier Judgnt Knights, more than twenty First-tier Judgnt Priests, and more than one hundred probationary Judgnt Knights were also ready to act.
They quickly surrounded Charlotte's carriage along with more than one hundred Demon Hunter Knights.
This was a rather terrifying force. If placed on the battlefield, so many extraordinary trained in special combat would easily handle the armies conscripted by feudal lords.
The expression of the Demon Hunter Knights instantly beca serious. They gathered around Charlotte's carriage, their eyes vigilant as they watched the approaching Judgnt Knights.
However, the girl on the carriage remained calm. She jumped down from the carriage and ca to face Rajiv, the leading Judgnt Knight, elegantly lifting the hem of her dress in a curtsy.
"Sir Judgnt Knight, greetings. I am Charlotte de Castell, the lady of the Castell family. You must be Rajiv, the one leading this sacred judgnt?"
"For this sacred judgnt, the Castell family has objections. We have reason to believe this is a conspiracy against Castell by so hidden force. Therefore, we request that you suspend the judgnt."
"Master!"
"Miss Charlotte!"
Seeing the girl getting off the carriage, there were exclamations among Rose Society mbers who had been captured on the estate.
Charlotte glanced over and saw many familiar figures among them.
There was no way, the Inquisition actions were much faster, even with the Castell's resonance badges, so newcors and old servants of Castell had long been arrested by the Judgnt Knights.
At the sa ti, the core mbers of Rose Society also lifted their heads one after another, casting curious and complex gazes at the girl, including the werewolf Luff and other demi-humans.
As followers of Sebastian, they naturally knew that Sebastian had pledged loyalty to the lady of Castell.
They couldn't change Sebastian's decision, and after trying to persuade him as followers, they could only obey. But that didn't an they also pledged loyalty to Castell.
But at this mont, watching the girl leading the Demon Hunter Knights hastily arrive to stop the sacred judgnt on Rose Society, there was a touch of emotion in their hearts, along with great confusion...
What was the relationship between their Rose Society and Castell?
Why did Lord Sebastian pledge loyalty to the heir of Castell?
Why was the heir of Castell willing to stand up for Rose Society under such imnse pressure?
That was indeed imnse pressure... The Inquisition had many privileges, and no noble was willing to really deal with these fanatical lunatics.
The mbers of Rose Society were very confused.
Charlotte, on the other hand, was quite clear-headed. Because she knew that saving Rose Society also ant saving herself. And she did have so cards up her sleeve.
"Don't worry, everyone. With here, the injustice against Rose Society will be cleared."
Charlotte addressed the people on the estate.
Upon hearing the girl's words, so people showed gratitude, so looked worried, but many wore expressions of confusion.
"Injustice...? Although we don't think we deserve the Holy Court's sacred judgnt, we know what we've done. The black and white in this world is not so clear-cut. After running the underworld in the outer city for so many years, our hands... are not exactly clean."
They weren't confident they could escape the judgnt. Many of them felt guilty and were avoiding eye contact.
"Charlotte de Castell, huh..."
Rajiv quietly evaluated the girl who had left many legends in Borde in recent days, murmuring to himself.
Just like the rumors, she possessed a beauty as if blessed by the Gods.
Even he, who had already devoted his body and soul to the Gods, found it hard to look away from her perfect appearance, crafted like the finest artisan work.
He suddenly understood why the Demon Hunters might side with her.
Such a beautiful lady, with considerable wealth to boot, could indeed under the dual temptations of beauty and money, lead those bastards who were always wanted to challenge the authority of the Inquisition.
What a bunch of fools!
But unfortunately... The Inquisition never judged based on appearances!
Looking at the beautiful girl who stepped forward, Rajiv's words remained firm.
"Suspend the judgnt? Miss Charlotte, do you know what you're saying to the Inquisition? Do you think you have the right to say such things?"
"Or do you think that by hiring these ignorant fools to stand behind you, you have the right to interfere with the Inquisition's judgnt work?"
"Please show so restraint. If you disband your team now, I can pretend nothing happened."
Rajiv spoke solemnly.

However, even he himself didn't realize that his deanor had softened sowhat.
Moreover... the decision to initially arrest them upon seeing them had turned into a "please show so restraint."
It seems... a face that's too pretty can still affect one's decisions. Even for a resolute Judgnt Knight.
"I'm sorry, Sir Judgnt Knight, but I'm here to stop this illegal sacred judgnt."
The girl shook her head gently.
Rajiv's expression instantly turned cold.
"Illegal? Miss Charlotte, do you work for the Inquisition now? Do you think you have the qualification to say that?"
"Or do you think that with this group of ragtag individuals behind you, you can stop the Inquisition's judgnt?"
With that, he looked at the Demon Hunter Knights behind her.
Indeed, to Judgnt Knights who had been trained as the core strength of the Church from a young age, these Demon Hunter Knights recruited from wandering knights, rcenaries, and fallen nobles by the Church were indeed ragtag.
Seeing his contemptuous gaze, the Demon Hunter Knights imdiately glared back at him. But no one dared to make a move.
Rajiv snorted coldly and looked even more contemptuous at these Demon Hunter Knights.
"Worthless, even if there are more of you gathered, you're still worthless!"
However, before he could finish his words, a cold female voice rang out.
"Oh? And what if I, another 'worthless' person, join them? Would that give us the qualifications?"
Hearing this familiar cold voice, Rajiv's gaze hardened.
He looked behind the Demon Hunter Knights and saw several figures on horseback slowly appearing in the night.
The leader was none other than Kara, the chief captain of the Borde Demon Hunter Squad.
By her side, there were three other Silver Moon Knights from the Borde Demon Hunter Squad, and...
Huh?
The Duke's son, Leno?
Rajiv was stunned. His face quickly darkened.
"Is the Demon Hunter Squad trying to rebel, Kara? And... does the Duke's Mansion also want to stand up for Castell?"
Rajiv's gaze fell coldly on Leno.
"Don't look at . I'm not representing the Duke's Mansion now, only myself. Right now, I'm just a crude rcenary, doing things for money."
Leno said with a grin.
After saying that, he whistled towards the girl in front of the carriage.
"Miss Charlotte, don't forget my commission afterward! Just about the sa as the Demon Hunters' pay!"
Charlotte:...
Did you call him here?
She glanced at the black cat.
It wasn't ! I didn't call him!
The Duke's Mansion is probably secretly pleased at this mont! How could they possibly co out to help?
Nice gave a pitifully puzzled look.
Charlotte's gaze shifted between Leno and Kara, her expression sowhat strange.
This Duke's illegitimate child...
Could it be that Nice called Captain Kara and got him as a bonus?
However, although Leno's help was sowhat unexpected for Charlotte, having another second-tier knight join her undoubtedly boosted her confidence significantly.
Especially, the Judgnt Knights probably didn't know that this bootlicker's motive is simply to follow Kara here. They probably thought the Duke's Mansion was backing Castell.
This excessive display of support was impossible to ignore!
She smiled sweetly at the Judgnt Knights.
"Respected Sir Rajiv, Captain Kara and Lord Leno are here now. Can we have a proper discussion?"
anwhile, Rajiv's face darkened completely.
He could scold the zero-tier and first-tier Demon Hunter Knights as worthless.
But the second tier couldn't be insulted.
Furthermore, the chief captain of the Borde Demon Hunter Squad, Kara, who had the potential to advance to the third tier and had already shown signs of transformation in her source power, was powerful enough to take on several second-tier by herself!
Fists ultimately ruled negotiations.
With no stronger knights present, Rajiv and the other Judgnt Knights exchanged glances and fell silent.
"What do you want to discuss?"
Looking at the beautiful and charming girl, Rajiv suppressed his anger and asked coldly.
