Su Yun saw Jasmine at the church gate. What else didn't he understand?
Come on, this is the trouble that Jasmine caused, and it seems that this little bastard is still very upright, with a look on his face that says "I made a mistake, I don't regret it, come and punish me."
Punishment... You mean punishment, right?
This was very difficult. Su Yun really felt that no matter how he treated Jasmine, problems would arise.
What's even worse is that this is not the worst. After all, there are two more troublesome little plagues than Jasmine. If Anita makes a fuss, it will definitely be earth-shattering. Julia will certainly not be willful, but from Theresa to Anita, everyone's little actions must have been mixed by him.
Su Yun's head was throbbing with pain, and he could feel Alice's shoulders trembling slightly under his palms, but the girl soon regained her composure. Su Yun looked over with some worry, but Alice lowered her head and said nothing. He could only see her slightly trembling golden eyelashes.
"...I have evidence! That man! The man kneeling on the steps in a high-sounding manner is not my dear brother at all!" The little princess was still making a loud noise in the church. It was unknown what Jasmine or Julia had instilled in her. This extra was really working hard. Even the heavy clothes and tight belts could not let her rest and take a few more breaths.
The little princess said something shocking: "He is a devil! My real brother has been killed by him!!"
Su Yun: “…”
There are too many flaws in this evidence. It's really unfortunate. The devil... If you mean the one with ram horns, then Alice really is one.
Moreover, from the perspective of human religious views, the Pope, bishops, and paladins present are not angels.
Tell you and scare you to death
All the noble ladies and young ladies under the prince's command screamed like geese, and the king also looked incredulous. From his expression, one could tell that he had accepted the tragedy of the devil replacing the child, but in his heart the one who was replaced was probably the little princess.
The expressions of the princes varied, ranging from panic to worry to fear and secret joy. Among them, there were many illegitimate children of the king - no one knew how a devout believer could have so many illegitimate children, and they were all recognized by the king.
Theresa has stood up from her seat. She is looking at her Father God from afar, waiting for His instructions. It is conceivable that once Su Yun makes any move, Theresa will follow immediately.
And Yi
Sissy also straightened his back, looking worried, which was in keeping with his status as a Paladin.
In this era, evidence of the devil's crimes is extremely deadly, especially when it is a denunciation by a relative... or slander, which is even more intolerable.
Su Yun still had one hand on Alice's shoulder. He took a step forward, stretched out his hand towards the noisy hall, and made a downward gesture. The farce in the hall gradually subsided because of his gesture. The noisy people quieted down one after another. Everyone looked at their bishop, and even the little princess stopped shouting.
"This is a sacred place. I don't think God's children should make noise here." Su Yun said this first, and the temple became even quieter.
Then Su Yun asked: "Where are the court doctors? How can they let the sick princess leave the bed?"
The purpose is to suppress the matter, give the little princess a reason that she is seriously ill, and then cover up today's farce.
The king immediately understood what the bishop meant. His expression eased a little. He handed the fainted queen to the maid, and strode down the stairs, growling impatiently: "That's right! My dear daughter has a disease that makes her mind unclear. She must have been hurt by a nightmare. Someone take her down to treat her--"
"No! I'm not sick! I'm sober!" The princess reacted suddenly after a brief hesitation. She straightened her chest and raised her head, fearless: "I really have evidence. The devil ate my brother. He is using my brother's skin now. He also wants to eat the bishop!"
This time, there was no uproar in the church. People had never heard of such a horrible trick. It was generally acknowledged that the devil could eat people, but using human skin to harm people? And in a church?
Whatever the answer to this question was, today's ceremony was ruined and no one dared to speak.
At this time, Theresa finally stood up from her seat and looked at the little princess: "What evidence?"
"Holy water, just holy water will do." The little princess showed a delighted look, "Your Holiness, the devil dare not act recklessly in front of you. I swear to God, I dare to guarantee it with my life, just holy water can make it reveal its true form!"
There is no shortage of holy water in the church. Most of it is just pure water. There is no supernatural power in this world except for the little plagues... No, it should be said that humans do not possess any extraordinary power.
Theresa did not answer the human princess. She looked at the Father God. Just as she was about to say something, Isis suddenly stood up and smiled.
He said, "Your Majesty, Bishop, since the princess dares to guarantee it with her life, why not use holy water? Holy water is a blessing to God's people, and it will not harm the little princess in any way."
The farce has come to this point, and this plan seems to be the only feasible method. If Alice still wants the game to end smoothly, he will have to accept this condition.
At this time, the decision-making power returned to Su Yun's hands. He subconsciously looked at Alice. The young man raised his head at this time. This time there was no expression on his face. He just looked at his Father God with those eyes, which was full of complete trust.
Su Yun sighed softly and turned to Theresa: "Your Majesty, let me bless you with holy water."
Of course Theresa had no objection. She nodded and returned to her seat. Isis also sat down.
And just after Su Yun expressed his approval, the nun immediately offered the holy water without Su Yun even giving any orders.
Su Yun looked at this bottle of holy water with extraordinary efficiency and didn't know what to say. He took the glass from the nun and shook the exquisite little thing slightly. The transparent liquid rippled in the glass, emitting a faint scent of roses.
Su Yun: “…”
Come on, this is where Anita intervenes. If Alice really drinks this holy water, she will most likely turn back to her original form, and the game in this world will not have to continue. Anita never cares about this anyway.
And it was impossible for Anita to cooperate so well with Jasmine, and they were both stuck at the bottom line of the game. Julia probably helped a little in this.
Su Yun sighed silently and had to accept it.
What else can I do if I don't recognize him? Isn't this the duty of an old father?
"Alice, bear with it for a moment." Su Yun whispered in Alice's ear, "Drink it up in a while, okay?"
The boy kneeling on the ground looked up at him, Su Yun's face reflected in his blue eyes: "Okay, my God."

The young crown prince knelt on the ground devoutly, his head raised, looking at the bishop in front of him with such trusting eyes, and the bishop responded to his expectations. He gently supported the boy's shoulders, which was a gesture of protection and comfort.
The morning sun shines into the church through the colored glass, staining the bishop's red robe, like the appearance of the Holy Spirit.
This was probably a beautiful scene, although Julia could not appreciate it.
Alice's game would not go smoothly, which was guessed by everyone except the Father God, including Alice herself.
How can they
Can he successfully "grow up" in the hands of the Father God? This original creation only needs to remain childish.
However... relying on the promise to occupy the Father's attention, only a childish child like Alice could do such a thing.
Julia stood on the bell tower outside the church, looking at the holy scene in the hall through the high wall, feeling regretful in her heart. What a heavy gift the Father's promise was? He actually used it so easily. If it could belong to him...
Never mind. This is impossible. Father God will never make the promise to him and Flora.
Jasmine's original plan was to find a random prop to disrupt the coming-of-age ceremony, but replacing the holy water was not Anita's idea. Jasmine did not take Alice seriously, but Anita was not happy to see the Father God holding a so-called human ceremony for his brothers - no ceremony was allowed.
Anita's original idea was very simple, which was to use plague to massacre humans on Ceylon in order to destroy Alice's coming-of-age ceremony. It was very simple and crude, and full of Anita's willfulness.
But Father God certainly does not want to see this method, as it is, after all, breaking the rules of the game.
"This is the holy water blessed by God. The devil will not be able to exist under the purification of the holy water..." The glass containing the poisonous water has been held in the cardinal's hand. The pale wrist with distinct joints under the crimson robe seems to be able to reflect the light.
A pair of hands like this... no matter what its owner handed over, he would be willing to drink it all, right? If he were in Alice's position at this moment, he would also take it and drink it all in one gulp without hesitation.
The Father's voice rang in her ears, and Julia looked away.
There was nothing worth seeing next. Father God would not let Alice's game be really destroyed. Yuanchu's creations were always a little different. These little fights were nothing at all. It was not the time to annihilate Alice.
"...I can ensure that my student, the Crown Prince of Ceylon, is the most innocent person. He possesses all the qualities that deserve to be loved by the gods...so I will drink half of it first to prove it."
What?
Julia was stunned, and he turned around suddenly, looking into the church through the thick and tall walls.
The bishop in crimson robes picked up the transparent cup of water. He tilted his head back and drank half of the liquid. His slightly pale lips took on a soft luster due to the water stains.
God then handed the Holy Grail to the devil.
The author has something to say: Muah!
