Chief High Priest Gregory XII's expression was sincere yet apologetic.
After slightly bowing to Charlotte in greeting, he looked at Cardinal Priest Filiberto and others imprisoned by Holy Power, a disappointed gaze suppressing his anger:
"I never expected that on such an important day, such a disgraceful farce would be enacted within the cardinal ground of my Royal Court!"
After speaking, the Chief High Priest then turned to the Judgement Knights who followed him, coldly saying:
"Judgement Knights, heed the order, escort these fallen betrayers to the dungeon of the Heretic Judgement Court! Use all means to interrogate those behind them!"
The Heretic Judgement Court?
Upon hearing the Chief High Priest's words, the priests present all changed complexion.
Holy Royal Court is the most powerful religious organization on the continent, and the Judgement Court of the Holy Royal Court is also the religious judgement department that makes all heretics shudder with fear.
