Chapter 12: Viviane - Saintess
Viviane heard the knight’s words, her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
"What are you saying? I don’t understand," Viviane frowned.
"Yeah, what the hell are you talking about?" At that moment, the believers present also immediately shouted, protecting Saintess Viviane.
"How dare you slander the Saintess?"
"The Saintess would never do something so terrible! This must be a misunderstanding."
"Huh! I think these people just want to oppress the Saintess."
"Bastards! You want to arrest the Saintess? Everyone, risk your lives for her, protect the Saintess!"
"That’s right, we can’t let them take the Saintess!"
Seeing the crowd’s anger and even intent to attack, the knight only sneered, his voice mocking as it echoed through the grand hall.
"Looks like my suspicions are correct, you really did steal from the National Treasury and the aid for the people."
Viviane was so angry she was trembling, but she still tried to stay calm, her clenched fists slowly relaxing.
