Chapter 477: -15- She must be the Saintess!_2

"I must admit, after the incident with Great Priest Bold, my trust in the Church has sharply decreased, I believe that the Church has become corrupted to a certain extent, with many priests having long forgotten their faith..."

"They may wield Holy Power, but they no longer deserve to wield it."

"I even... somewhat regret the vow I made in Bold."

With that, Charlotte repeated what she had said in her dream in refusing the Great Priest.

Listening to Charlotte’s account, Great Judge Bernard furrowed his brows thoughtfully.

His expression gradually turned serious and collected, and subconsciously, he nodded slightly, seemingly acknowledging some of her critical views about the Church.

Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph also silently nodded.

His face took on an ’as expected’ look, his gaze towards Charlotte diminishing in shock and increasing in admiration, with even a hint of passion in his eyes.

Great Priest Charles remained as calm as ever.

However, Charlotte keenly noticed that even though she had been speaking ill of the Church, the gaze of this supreme clergyman of the New Moon was becoming even more serene.

"Great Priest, I have said my piece, can this inquisition... come to an end now?"

Charlotte spoke in a timely manner.

The three Legendary Clergy exchanged glances.

Great Priest Charles looked at his two colleagues, while to his side, Great Judge Bernard and Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph nodded slightly.

Seeing his colleagues’ attitude, the Great Priest also turned his gaze back, nodding lightly, saying,

"Thank you for your cooperation, Count, I have no further doubts."

"Then... may I leave now?"

Charlotte asked.

Her expression returned to calm, but within that calmness flowed a sense of cold detachment.

Great Priest Charles paused, then with a wry smile said,

"Of course, any suspicion towards you has been cleared, and you may leave whenever you wish."

With that, the light in his eyes gradually faded, clearly lifting the "Eye of Truth," and then once again bowed in apology to Charlotte, saying,

"Count, please accept our sincere apologies once more..."

Charlotte’s expression eased, sighing lightly,

"Chief Priest, if only the clergy of the Holy Royal Court were all as earnest and responsible as you, perhaps... my impression of the Church wouldn’t have become so poor."

This time, she no longer referred to the Great Priest as "Your Excellency," but instead used "Lord."

Having said that, Charlotte picked up the hem of her skirt, curtsied to the three Legendary figures, and then turned to leave.

Watching the decisive departure of the young girl, Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph looked hesitant.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the other two Legendary figures remain silent, he eventually closed his mouth.

Charlotte’s figure disappeared from their view.

However, with their powerful Legendary perception, the three Clergy could still sense the girl’s whereabouts.

In their perception, they saw the girl quickly leave, returning to the Grand Cathedral’s Prayer Hall.

In the Grand Cathedral’s Prayer Hall, a small worship service was being prepared.

As Lutecia’s largest Grand Cathedral, many worship services are held daily, and at this very moment, it was time for the Holy Rite at the hour.

The girl instructed her followers to leave behind a large chest of gold tana as a donation for the Believers before walking towards the Cathedral’s exit.

However, just as she reached the doors, she hesitated for a moment and chose to join the worship.

Just like the most pious Believer, the girl mingled with the crowd in the hall, closing her eyes and praying in front of the Divine Lord’s statue.

With the priest’s prayer, brilliance spread throughout the hall, and Holy Light enveloped the entire venue.

The three Legends sharply sensed that at the moment of the Holy Light’s descent, the vast majority of the radiance fell almost entirely on the young girl.

Even the priest presiding over the worship did not glow as brightly as the girl.

Holy, pure, beautiful...

Even without being there in person, the three Legends could almost imagine the scene purely through their perception.

Sensing this scene, the three Legendary Clergy had various expressions.

Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph’s eyes widened, instantly excited, and he subconsciously wanted to go to the Prayer Hall but restrained himself at Great Priest Charles’s meaningful glance.

Great Judge Bernard’s expression shifted subtly, thoughtful, but not surprised.

It seemed, in his view, the girl ought to be like this.

And after the worship had ended, the girl quickly stood up, looking devout yet content.

She declined the eager entreaties of the priests to stay and turned to leave.

This time, she truly left the Cathedral.

"Great Priest, are we... just going to let her go like that?"

Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph couldn’t help but ask.

Great Priest Charles glanced at him and said irritably,

"She is not a Favored of the Evil God, and she is a Landed Noble of the Kingdom; she wants to leave, why shouldn’t we let her?"

Hearing this response, the Cardinal became agitated.

He said somewhat excitedly,

"Great Priest, you must have also perceived that Holy Light Favour on her, brighter than even Third Tier clergy, no?"

"Holy Light Favour doesn’t appear on just anyone; she has passed the ’Holy Eternal Realm’s’ test and even imagined the power of the Creation Divine Power within the ’Holy Eternal Realm’!"

"To think that even we cannot imagine the Divine Lord’s power within the ’Holy Eternal Realm’!"

"That is Creation Divine Power! Even if it’s just a projection of the Creation Divine Power, it is still Creation Divine Power!"
