"Of course, we're discussing this sacred judgnt."
"Lord Rajiv, as the heir of the Castell family and the true allegiance of Rose Society, I have reason to suspect that this sacred judgnt against Rose Society is manipulated by soone behind the scenes."
Charlotte said calmly.
With these words, the expressions of Judgnt Knights changed. They looked at the girl with anger and sarcasm.
Rajiv squinted slightly and said lightly.
"Miss Charlotte, do you know what you're talking about?"
"The Rose Society shelters wanted heretics, smuggles contraband, colludes with the Blood Demon Cult, is involved in several bloodborne cases in Borde, and the president, Sebastian, has connections with the Adam Cult..."
"These matters have already been secretly investigated by the Inquisition, and the evidence is conclusive!"
With that, Rajiv's expression turned cold.
"Given that situation, do you still want to excuse Rose Society? Or perhaps, Castell wants to protect Rose Society?"
Charlotte sighed and took out a scroll from her pocket.
"Lord Rajiv, this is what I'm going to talk about next."
"In fact, it was only recently that I officially contacted Rose Society and learned that they have always been a secret line of Castell family..."
"In recent days, in order to understand what Rose Society has been doing over the years, Castell family has also conducted so investigations."
"The information Castell family obtained about these matters differs slightly from what you said."
"Firstly, sheltering heretical heretics is slander. More accurately, Rose Society takes in heretics, and the true purpose is to help the lost heretics return to the right path!"
"These heretics were indeed once heretics, but they have long since changed their beliefs under the glory of our Lord and beco devout holy believers!"
Upon hearing the girl's words, Kara, whose eyes were flickering with light, paused slightly and couldn't help but glance at her.
And Rajiv, whose pupils were also shimring with silver, frowned slightly.
However, they did not interrupt the girl's words, and Charlotte did not pause either.
"Secondly, Rose Society's involvent in bloodborne cases... is not true. In fact, Rose Society's purpose is to investigate the actions of the Blood Demon Cult."
"Furthermore, Mr. Sebastian from Rose Society does have connections with the Adam Cult... but it is not collusion as the informant claid. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Mr. Sebastian actually offended the Adam Cult and forced him to flee to the Crescent Kingdom."
"Finally, as for... smuggling contraband, this is indeed true, but which underground force does not engage in such activities? The Castell family is willing to pay fines for Rose Society's smuggling, but this... is not enough to classify Rose Society as an evil organization."
"These matters... the Castell family also has conclusive evidence, which Lord Rajiv can review one by one."
Charlotte spoke calmly and convincingly.
After speaking, she handed the scroll in her hand to Nice and instructed him to hand it to the Judgnt Knights.
Rajiv took it and did not open it, but said indifferently.
"Miss Charlotte, do you know that the Inquisition possesses a solidified divine magic called the Eye of Truth, which can discern lies?"
"This divine magic is rarely mastered by anyone, but coincidentally, I am one of them..."
With that, he looked coldly at the girl.
"Miss Charlotte, you lied."
With these words, the expressions of Judgnt Knights beca even angrier as they looked at the girl, and the Demon Hunter Knights also looked surprised and couldn't help but glance at Kara.
Kara remained silent for a mont before nodding gently.
"She did indeed lie."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Hunter Knights were also in a commotion, feeling a bit guilty.
Praise be to the Holy Light! When did they... beco followers of the Holy Court?
The demi-humans have no goodwill towards the Holy Court, and so of the wolf-eared ones with strong limbs even changed their faces on the spot, ready to erupt. But they quickly quieted down under the signal from their leader, Luff, the werewolf.
The werewolf leader frowned and looked at the girl talking to the Judgnt Knights.
Although he didn't know what the other party was thinking, associating it with the respect Sebastian, the lord of Rose Society, had for the girl and her confident deanor, he inexplicably had a strange thought... She might really have a way.
This thought surprised Luff himself.
As the second-in-command of Rose Society, this was the first ti he had seen Charlotte de Castell.
Before this, he even had so dissatisfaction with her.
However, at this mont, looking at the girl under the night sky, he didn't know why he inexplicably felt a strange trust in her words... It was like so kind of instinct.
Luff was puzzled and confused.
On the other hand, the Second-tier Judgnt Knight Rajiv's brow furrowed more and more. This was a situation he hadn't anticipated.
He thought the girl was just causing trouble, but he didn't expect her to have evidence in hand as well. However...
"Miss Charlotte, this is just your word against ours. While the docunts in your hand are detailed, they still need to be verified for authenticity. Furthermore, delaying ti to fabricate evidence is not impossible. On the contrary... the Inquisition has already investigated the charges against Rose Society."
Rajiv said in a deep voice.
Listening to the Judgnt Knight's words, Charlotte smiled slightly.
After circling around for so long... she finally circled back to this topic.
In fact, first pretending and then being truthful was the rhetoric she had prepared, and her goal was to continuously shift everyone's attention, ultimately making everyone ignore the various loopholes in her rhetoric and focus on verifying the authenticity of the Inquisition's evidence...
"You're right."
"We do indeed have suspicions of delaying ti to fabricate evidence."
"But similarly... wouldn't it possible the reported materials in your hands have been carefully planned and fabricated as well?"
The girl said calmly.
With these words, Rajiv was stunned. His gaze swept over the Demon Hunter Knights, finally settling on the leading girl with a cold expression.
"Miss Charlotte, are you questioning the ability of the Inquisition?"
"No... I'm just worried that the esteed knights of the Inquisition may be misled. If my guess is correct, this report should be anonymous, right?"
"There are many doubts in this divine judgnt. I'm just concerned... that the great Radiance may misjudge HIS devout followers."
The girl shook her head.
"Outrageous! Are you questioning the radiance of our Lord?!"

Upon hearing the girl's words, the other second-tier knights beside Rajiv beca furious.
Rajiv's expression beca even more grim.
He gestured for the other Judgnt Knights to remain calm, then looked deeply at Charlotte for a mont before suddenly sneering.
"How about this?"
"Since Miss Charlotte is so confident and distrustful of our Inquisition, let's leave everything to the Judgnt of the Holy Light."
"Evidence may be wrong, but the Light does not lie. I have never heard of demi-humans changing their faith. Let the Judgnt of the Holy Light witness the truth."
Upon hearing Rajiv's words, the girl raised her right hand and drew a standard cross in front of her chest, devoutly saying.
"Praise the Lord! This is perfect. I believe... the great Lord will witness the purity of Rose Society, and the Light of Justice... will witness the devotion of Rose Society!"
Watching the girl's fanaticism, Rajiv furrowed his brow slightly, unable to understand whether she was truly naive or pretending to be so.
"Holy Light Judgnt?!"
The Demon Hunter Knights were also startled, their gazes toward the girl becoming quite strange.
Yes, the Holy Light does not lie. But at the sa ti, the Holy Light is also more overbearing. Especially Its Judgnt.
The Holy Light Judgnt is a sacred art that judges the faith of the target, first created by the Holy Court's Saint, Benedict III.
Under the Holy Light, the devout are unhard, while heretics, those with wavering faith, unbelievers, and those who commit sins, all receive severe punishnt. From minor ntal disorders to direct death under the burning of the Holy Light.
This is the Holy Court's most severe judgnt thod.
The Inquisition may make mistakes, but the Holy Light Judgnt does not.
Moreover, for the most severe Holy Light Judgnt, even stains unrelated to the current divine judgnt are often greatly magnified...
Hundreds of years ago, the main reason the Holy Court removed the Holy Light Judgnt from divine judgnt was that this art was too rigid, rigid to an extre that was bordering sinister. In order to identify the true devout, it would purify all the sinners that the Inquisition had originally intended to absorb into the Judgnt Troops.
At that mont, Rajiv even had an imagination.
The Inquisition just wanted to eradicate Rose Society because they wanted to replenish the local Judgnt Troops with fresh blood.
But Charlotte de Castell... wanted all mbers of Rose Society to die.
Even the knights of the Church were not so extre, the faces of Rose Society mbers turned even greener.
"Uh... can I refuse the Holy Light Judgnt and just join the Judgnt Troops?"
So people were almost in tears, so even raised their hands directly.
Ignoring the turmoil of Rose Society, Rajiv said indifferently.
"Since Miss Charlotte wants the Holy Light to judge, then prepare for the Holy Light Judgnt."
At this point, whether or not to accept Rose Society mbers into the Judgnt Troops no longer mattered.
The matter had escalated to such an extent that he had to regain his dignity.
Obviously, this young heir of Castell had no idea how severe the Holy Light Judgnt was.
Naive, simple, and even a bit foolish!
As an underground gang like Rose Society, with dirty hands, how could they withstand the judgnt of the Holy Light?
Rajiv's expression grew colder.
This ti, he had to deal with Rose Society and Castell family ruthlessly, to warn the world of the authority of the Inquisition!
With Rajiv's command, the Judgnt Knights imdiately took action.
They approached the mbers of Rose Society, raising their silver swords high, their voices fervent and devout.
"Our Lord Harald!"
"You are the creator of the New World!"
"You are divine in the Holy Court!"
"May your Holy Light descend,"
"To give the most severe judgnt to the demons and evils..."
...
Seeing the knights approaching them, chanting spells, and releasing the Holy Light Judgnt, many mbers of Rose Society turned pale.
"No! Please! I confess! Don't use the Holy Light Judgnt!"
So people exclaid.
However, it was already too late.
The Judgnt Knights were always swift in their actions.
With their chanting, the brilliant Holy Light suddenly blood in Rose Society's manor, engulfing everyone.
So people let out cries of agony.
But as they cried, their voices disappeared.
Still alive...
But their expressions were all filled with confusion.
Looking at their hands emitting a gentle halo under the Holy Light, they all stood still.
Huh? Why... doesn't it hurt?
The demi-humans were even more dumbfounded as they looked at the light of faith on their bodies.
Huh? When did I truly beco a Holy Court believer?
On the other side, seeing the mbers of Rose Society, with their faith lights shining either dimly or brightly under the Holy Light, the knights of the Church were also stunned.
Rajiv furrowed his brow slightly.
Looking around, his gaze fell on a Judgnt Knight, and he casually threw the person into the Holy Light.
Accompanied by a piercing scream, the mber of the Judgnt Troops thrown into the Holy Light quickly turned into ashes...
The Holy Light lasted for about half a minute before disappearing.
Although many mbers of the Rose Society were ntally dazed and clearly received so punishnt, they all survived.
At that mont, the entire estate fell silent.
