Chapter 224 The Last Witch (29)
It would be lively once the clergy entered the manor.
Viscount Santa Cruz sent out hundreds of guards to try to stop the deacons.
But they could only yell a few times and didn't dare to resort to violence.
In the current situation where the church has more appeal than the royal family, even the king of a country has to attend mass honestly and obey the Pope's "teachings".
Santa Cruz is just a viscount, and he really doesn't dare to confront them head-on.
While dealing with the guards, the deacon headed towards the bell tower where Tokiho appeared.
The nobles who had stayed up all night were all sleeping soundly when they were woken up by waves of commotion.
They all asked people to find out what had happened.
The chief steward was extremely tired. He went door to door one by one to persuade everyone to calm down and even knelt down to beg them not to cause a conflict.
They were guests, so even if they found out there was a witch in the manor, they wouldn't have to bear any responsibility.
But Viscount Santa Cruz is the master. If anything happens, he will be the only one who gets hurt!
The general manager's persuasion was quite effective.
These high-ranking nobles had always been at odds with the church and did not want to get involved in this mess, so they ordered people to close the doors and windows and went back to sleep.
But there is one person that the chief steward absolutely cannot persuade... the prince.
He was the prince who was drugged by Zimina with a hallucinogenic drug made from the branches and leaves of the datura flower, and then lost his mind and staged a celestial liberation, and finally had to be temporarily imprisoned.
The prince has the highest status among these nobles and is the actual commander of this hunting team.
After most of the night, the effect of the medicine in his body had almost subsided, and he regained about 70% of his consciousness.
Shisui went to his room specifically, knocked down the guards around him, broke in, and helped him recall the ugly behavior of last night.
She described it vividly: "You have been bewitched by a witch's spell and are enthusiastically inviting everyone to admire your body. There is a large maroon birthmark on your right buttock, and everyone can see it. If you don't believe me, ask your loyal subordinates."
The prince was both embarrassed and annoyed, his face turned red instantly, and he stared with wide eyes at his subordinates outside the door with swollen mouths and bruised noses.
After receiving his men's helpless affirmation, he clenched his fists and roared, "Which witch?! Is it that enchanting gypsy woman from yesterday? No wonder I felt something was wrong with her...! Damn it, I'm going to skin her alive!"
After learning that the clergy were searching for witches in the manor, the furious prince rushed out cursing, and didn't even bother to find out where the strange woman Tokiho came from.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Princess Alyssa really isn't overly worried. With a bunch of losers running the country, it's bound to be over sooner or later."
Shi Sui raised her hand and followed the prince, waiting to watch the show.
She couldn't miss the fight between the scumbags who were all from the same nest.
…
The deacons climbed up the bell tower where Tokiho had just appeared, but couldn't find anyone...
Viscount Santa Cruz, who had been following them in a hurry, breathed a sigh of relief and became proud.
"I respect the work of the church... but breaking into my private estate without any evidence and disturbing the peace of the royal family is such a serious crime that I can ask the king to judge me!"
Under the verbal threats, he actually had only one request - to get these church members out of here quickly and not cause him any more trouble!
The deacons were defeated, and their arrogance was instantly half extinguished, but they still refused to leave and wanted to continue exploring other parts of the manor - if they returned empty-handed, they would definitely be scolded to death by Cardinal Gerry!
Just when the two sides were arguing with each other... the prince came!
He arrived with disheveled hair, a frown on his face, and a crab-like gait, as if he didn't recognize anyone.
"There's definitely a witch in the manor, a gypsy woman! Find her and give her the heaviest punishment!! Then tie her up and burn her alive in the street!"
He loudly denounced his outrageous experience last night and ordered a thorough investigation of the manor to find Zimina.
The deacons were puzzled after hearing this.
The one they were looking for was Tokiho.
From what they saw with their own eyes, Tokiho clearly looked like a local girl, so why did the prince say she was a gypsy...?
However, since the prince had given the order personally, the soldiers obeyed without fail, and the clergy followed suit to join in the fun.
After several waves of people searched inside and out, they finally found Qimina.
Viscount Santa Cruz was in tears and he lay on the ground, beating his chest and crying loudly.
"What kind of trouble have I gotten into..."
For two days, he was mentally tortured for two whole days!
At this moment, he finally couldn't hold it anymore.
If I had known this, I should have killed Zimina on the spot when the incident happened last night and destroyed the body, so that this series of bad things would not have happened later.
…The “witch” was found, but the clergy were not satisfied.
The gypsy woman in front of him was not the one who had humiliated Cardinal Gerry repeatedly.
The leading deacon directly fired at Viscount Santa Cruz: "There are other wizards hiding in your manor, right? Otherwise, how are you going to explain this gold coin?!"
The leading aide-de-camp took out the "ironclad evidence" that Shihui had deliberately left behind.
The Viscount of Santa Cruz argued vigorously, but the Prince lost his patience.
He only wanted to send Zimina to the gallows, and he didn't care about anyone else.
"Can you please get rid of this despicable witch first?" The prince interrupted the quarrel, grabbed Zimina's skirt, and demanded, "Who sent you to harm me?! Tell me!"
Everyone present turned their attention to Zimina.
And she said nothing, just used the same trick that Shiho taught her...
As the prince pulled Zimina, an exquisite wooden bead "accidentally" fell out of her belt.
It was a rosary carved with rose patterns, one of the holy objects worn by priests.
The prince ordered someone to pick up the rosary from the ground, and was shocked to find a very unique cursive letter engraved on the beads: "G".
It represents that this rosary comes from the church organization led by Cardinal Gerry.
This was what Shisui had stolen from Cardinal Gerry last night and then given to Zimina for this performance.
The prince frowned and questioned the chief deacon with the beads in his hand: "What's going on?! How come this witch has your church's rosary beads on her?!"
The deacon was unable to explain and looked at Viscount Santa Cruz in shock.
Oh, Shura Field is officially unlocked~
Viscount Santa Cruz's eyes went dark.
"Stop staring at me, please!" He thought he was the most innocent person in the room!
