NOVEL NEXT Chapter 52: How Dare You?
Many members of the Knight Order looked rather proud in tone and expression. However, Sivis was very calm in his mindset - although he didn't know these members of the Knight Order well, he was all - too - familiar with Vikalina. After all, in some save files of his past life, he had courted this well - known female character.
The members of the Knight Order looked proud, while Sivis was at peace in his heart.
He knew Vikalina too well - this female knight from a commoner background was not the rigid and pedantic type. Most of the time, she carried out the doctrines of the Holy See with a flexible yet firm attitude and protected the good.
Just in the distance, a middle - aged woman was clutching her apron, her eyes full of worry.
She couldn't understand the game between Vikalina and the Knight Order. She only knew that attacking the Knight Order would surely be severely punished.
This was a decree of the Holy See that any commoner knew.
"Oh no... I shouldn't have listened to that female knight and sent out the signal to call her over..." The woman's face turned pale. She had secretly stayed nearby to observe because she was worried about Sivis, and now she felt even more at a loss.
The woman no longer had the attitude of pretending not to know Sivis well as she did before.
When all eyes were focused on Vikalina, the female knight calmly said, "Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about. When I arrived, I only saw you all standing in a chaotic manner and didn't notice any act of Sivis actively attacking the Knight Order."
The pride on the faces of the members of the Knight Order froze instantly.
Sivis remained composed.
The middle - aged woman in the distance finally let out a sigh of relief - it turned out that this seemingly gentle female knight was really different from the other knights. She was truly here to help Young Master Sivis! The woman's eyes became slightly moist.
Sivis looked at Vikalina standing valiantly in front of him, and a warm current suddenly welled up in his heart. "No wonder it's Vikalina..."
Her graceful back gave people a full sense of security.
He couldn't help but think, "Why do I increasingly want to draw you to my side?"
Previously, Sivis thought that courting the female knight would require a great deal of resources. But now he found that perhaps it wasn't that troublesome, thanks to the favorability brought by the pure holy light?
Vikalina also has a dedicated guardian!
However, at this moment, he didn't realize that the female knight's trust in him never stemmed from the so - called "pure holy light", but from all the traces he left in Minnet City - the wages distributed in the factory, the actual food reserves in the residential houses.
And the hope in the eyes of the common people.
These real scenes could touch a girl from a commoner background far more than any "holy light".
The next moment, everyone in the Knight Order flew into a rage.
They judged Vikalina based on past experience and were certain that she would unhesitatingly enforce the decrees of the Holy See. However, they never expected that she would blatantly lie in public to defend Sivis, an "outsider"!
What made them even more uneasy was that Sivis and Vikalina were indeed on the same side. Once the two joined hands, who knew how they would stir up the situation in the Holy See in the future.
They still had to carry out tasks with Vikalina for nearly half a year. If these two "freaks" who mastered the power of holy light joined forces and interfered with the command, how could they go on with their work?
This worry quickly turned into towering anger.
Previously, they only suspected that Sivis and Vikalina "might be colluding", but now this suspicion had been confirmed!
Sivis must be eliminated! Even if they couldn't kill him on the spot, they should first escort Sivis to the Inquisition of the Holy See and then secretly pull strings to have him killed!
"Vikalina! Are you blind?" The leading knight took off his helmet, pointed at his swollen cheek and roared, "Look at this injury! And the cracks on the armor - it's all the work of this bastard! Don't forget, you are the future 'Sacred Flame Spear' of the Holy See!"
"Sivis attacked so brutally that all the powerful members of the Daister family died. Why did a Class - 9 Bronze professional like him survive?"
"We suspect that there's something wrong with him! He might be a spy planted by the Blood Clan!"
"If you shield a criminal who may be colluding with the Blood Clan, you are desecrating the order of the True God!"
The other knights chimed in one after another. They showed the light - spots on their armor, which were exactly the marks left by Sivis' attacks: "Are you going to violate the 'Code of Holy Knights of the Holy See'? Are you going to let the grace of the True God be stained because of you?"
They wielded religious doctrines and the gods as weapons.
The knights received a moment of silence in response.
Vikalina also seemed to be cornered by their words.
The middle - aged woman in the distance, who had originally relaxed, became worried again.
She didn't quite understand the convoluted meanings behind the words of these Holy See knights, but she instinctively felt that all of this was very unfavorable to Sivis, the great benefactor.
Even Sivis himself no longer had the calm mindset he had before.
It was almost seven or eight years later that Vikalina truly became extremely perfect and tactful in handling affairs, and was able to lead the Holy Knight Order, which he had personally trained, as a leader to uphold the justice and righteousness in her heart.
The current female knight has a high probability of being deceived by these knights, especially before she can see through the true nature of the Holy See. Her code of conduct still gives priority to the doctrines of the Holy See.
Vikalina won't do anything to Sivis, but in her logic, if there are various disputes, it is also a reasonable act to escort Sivis and other related people to the Inquisition of the Holy See for questioning.
Most of the Knight Order members who follow Vikalina are those with deep family backgrounds in the Holy See.
Accepting a trial with them is just waiting for death!
Sivis was also having a terrible headache at the moment. He felt very wronged!
Why did he have a conflict with the Knight Order??
He couldn't figure out what he had done to offend these people - he hadn't met them many times at all. They had chatted quite well in front of the hotel earlier. How could it have turned out like this?
Naturally, he didn't expect that, under the butterfly effect, the members of the Knight Order who could originally show surface - level respect to Vikalina finally couldn't hold it in anymore!
The members of the Knight Order had been forced to go to their deaths and had a great battle with the Blood Servant! They couldn't stand Vikalina any longer, and they also developed some hatred and fear towards him, who also possessed pure holy light.
For a moment, the air was oppressively dull.
When the members of the Knight Order saw that Vikalina no longer had her previous righteous posture, they were delighted in their hearts - they knew things were going their way.
Even if the female knight wanted to protect this Sivis, she didn't dare to violate the most fundamental laws of the Holy See.
One by one, they cast malicious glances at Sivis - some didn't dare to be too blatant, but the meaning in their eyes was self - evident: Just wait, wait for death!
Once you're in the Inquisition, we'll have plenty of ways to deal with you!
Sivis Daister. We offered you a fair contract earlier, but you didn't sign it. Then sign the slave contract and serve our family for life, or you'll die in the Inquisition.
After a short silence, under the gaze of everyone, Vikalina chuckled.
"Sorry. According to my investigation, Mr. Sivis is a kind - hearted person who is enthusiastic about setting up factories, providing convenience and supplies for many common people, and has taken the initiative to help his workers and the elderly many times."
"I don't think he would take the initiative to have a conflict with you."
"Based on all your actions from the beginning when you followed me on the mission until now, I think it's more likely that you people, out of personal grudges and despicable moral qualities, have taken the initiative to frame Mr. Sivis Daister."
Vikalina spoke slowly, her tone calm but every word was like a knife, mercilessly pointing at her knight colleagues.
Everyone present, including Sivis, was a bit stunned and looked astonished -
They couldn't understand Vikalina's actions at the moment.
To put it bluntly, even if these members of the Knight Order have behaved poorly on a daily - basis, it is still an internal matter of the Holy See. It should be the internal law - enforcement department of the Holy See that judges them, rather than Vikalina taking the initiative to expose them outwardly.
And it's in front of someone like Sivis Daister, who they had previously pronounced "guilty".
The bias in her attitude is far too obvious.
Pronouncing judgment on internal members is a scandal that will affect the image of the Holy See!
How could Vikalina so bluntly speak of the faults of the Knight Order members in public!
The expressions of many Knight Order members are extremely strange.
They are so shocked that they even extend their fingers and point at Vikalina tremblingly: "She's crazy! Is this woman completely crazy?"
Can such a thing be said outside?
They didn't expect that Vikalina actually dared!
A thousand years after the Battle of Exorcism, the Holy See has gradually decayed. Even though some holy maidens, Holy Sons, knights, and titled knights who wanted to change the situation have emerged, none of them would publicly expose the actions of the members of the Knight Order.
Unless, they really want to clean up a certain atmosphere and improve the situation of the Holy See, they will conduct a public trial.
But now...
Vikalina is simply doing it for Sivis??
What on earth is this female knight thinking??
The members of the Knight Order think it's possible that she has fallen in love at first sight with this young noble!
They also feel that they are very "wronged" - when they are with Vikalina, they think they have been extremely "kind and gentle".
They have been very tolerant and are extremely "respectful to the common people" under the influence of the female knight. They just took a little bribe and threatened and insulted people a little bit.
Does Vikalina still think our "moral qualities are bad"?
We have already shown "saint - level performance"!
The members of the Knight Order have only one thought - it's unreasonable!
They even shout angrily: "Vikalina, I think you are the one with truly despicable moral qualities! You actually question us for this noble you just met?"
"We have reason to believe that Sivis Daister is not only related to the Blood Clan, but you have also been bewitched by him!"
