A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"I repeat, my name is Shay, Shay Lothar. I work for the secret organization of the Church of Holy Light, the Templar Assassins. I have nothing to do with the Shadow Heir. I only admit all the crimes I have committed. Don't try to frame me with false charges."

Shay's voice instantly caused an uproar in the audience.

"After all this time, it turns out that this is just a play directed and performed by the church!"

"After listening to that guy talking for hours, I almost believed it!"

"The church is still the same church... Damn it, I should be more careful."

The audience's chatter became increasingly harsh.

Two drops of sweat fell imperceptibly on Albert's forehead.

"Silence, silence!"

The situation seemed somewhat out of control, and the testimony of two or three people alone did not seem to be enough to determine the defendant's guilt and true identity.

Zamotu looked to Eidol, hoping to get some instructions.

Ugh......

Aido watched the whole thing without saying a word, but he had already made some judgments in his mind.

But how can we end this trial to the satisfaction of as many people as possible?

This is something a king has to consider.

"It's just child's play..."

Aido cursed inwardly.

......

"What a farce..."

In the jury box, Nagash muttered to himself.

Maglock also frowned.

This was nothing like the Shay he knew...

That guy should be more afraid of death...

"Your Majesty! Don't listen to a criminal's one-sided words! He is just stalling for time! Besides, he has confessed to other crimes, and the sentence should be issued!"

In order to avoid any further complications, Albert immediately bypassed Zamotu and asked Eido directly for help.

"Can you see, brother, this guy is anxious..."

Stone said with a smile.

"I saw it a long time ago. His acting is really poor."

Albert was anxious, and many people could see it.

But what interests the audience more now is Shay.

Is he really a member of the church?

If so, then things would be very complicated.

That is to say, there is a possibility that the church planned all the evil deeds, and then came here to direct and act in them, but the actors changed their minds at the last minute and bit back.

Originally, most people in the city came to Freedham because they hated the church. They would think twice before doing anything related to the church and would often assume the worst.

Now, the criminal has exploded.

The testimony that was once well-founded has now become a line full of loopholes.

Yet the trial will continue.

Zamotu cleared his throat and asked Shay:

"You seem to have a lot to say... Can you tell me everything? Perhaps there are circumstances that can mitigate your sentence?"

"All of them?"

Shay smiled and looked at Albert who was sweating profusely.

"So, where do I begin?"

"How about starting from when Lord Albert ordered me to eradicate the unsavory people?"

"Or a little longer... starting from when the Cardinal Archbishop of the Church of Holy Light issues the mission?"

"you dare!"

Albert cursed angrily.

This is an extremely confidential matter, even more important than one's own life and death.

Even if the current plan fails, Albert must stop Shay from revealing the church's strategic plan.

"Lord Medici, please keep quiet. During the trial, you have no right to stop anyone from speaking except me."

Albert had no choice but to shut up and looked at Shay with vicious eyes, hoping that Shay would be more sensible and not say anything that would be detrimental to the church.

He should be very clear about the consequences of saying something like that.

It's not just about "death"...

"Go on."

"Okay, then I'll start with recent events."

"A dozen days ago, when Lord Albert first came to Freedum, he encountered some unpleasant things... A little demon girl accidentally bumped into Lord Albert and soiled his robes that symbolized his bishop's status..."

"It's not a big deal. It's just that Lord Albert was a little angry at the time and wanted to kick the 'untouchable' to death..."

"I can testify that I was there at the time."

Maglock immediately stood up and testified.

The audience in the audience also raised their hands to indicate that they were also there.

People are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes than the false and empty records in ancient books.

Only then did Albert realize that Maglock was somewhat similar to the guy who took the initiative to be the first to speak out.

"You bitch..."

"Very good, go on."

"After meeting His Majesty, Lord Albert found me and ordered me to lead people to eliminate the demon mother and daughter, as well as the person who stood up for them..."

"I led the Templar Assassins and first killed the mother with a blunt weapon. Then I faked the scene of a robbery and murder, and then kidnapped the demon child because Lord Albert said that he would personally "deal with" him..."

"What nonsense! I, I, I... How could I possibly do such a thing!!"

"Be quiet and let him finish. If Master Medici didn't do these things, then you will be cleared of all charges."

"But... things didn't go as smoothly as I imagined... The people I led encountered... an attack when they were evacuating from the city wall... No one survived except me."

"I can testify to this! I was the first person to discover the crime scene. I followed their trail all the way to the city wall. I wanted to stop him, but I was outskilled and seriously injured... Fortunately, a mysterious person came to my aid..."

Shay didn't seem to expect that Maglock would dare to stand up and testify for himself despite the pressure from the church on the Kingdom of Fajia...

Although I am still very impulsive...but things have come to this point...maybe it would be better to expose it?

Among the audience, several people dressed as desert people shouted loudly:

"Yes, I have seen this gentleman, and I have also seen the group of people who kidnapped the demon girl!"

"Yes, Boss is right, we can all testify to that!"

"I see......"

"But now I have a question, Sir Maglock. Since you were the first person to discover the crime scene...why didn't you report it immediately? Instead, you disappeared for a few days after the incident?"

The dwarves have been doing a lot of investigations these days, so they are very clear about small things like Maglock's disappearance from the city.

“…That’s what I wanted to say as well.”

"After being rescued, the mysterious lady immediately left the scene, leaving me and the demon child alone."

"Considering the complicated situation in the city and the possibility of further persecution by the church, I chose to take the child out of the city and head to a safe place... in the direction of Danger Pass."

"You mean you went through a sandstorm with a child? And you didn't encounter any danger?"

The sandstorm situation is now known to everyone in the city, and the past few days were the most violent period of the sandstorm.

"Yes."

"Can anyone testify to this?"

"I can."

Nagash, who was standing beside Maglock, slowly raised his hand, stood up, and spoke to everyone.

"At that time, my fiancée, a delegation from the Kingdom of Talal and I were preparing to cross the desert. We happened to meet Lord Maglok, who was being chased by a strange vision in the desert, with the child... Lord Maglok briefly told me what happened in the city, and then hurried to the east..."

"As for the fact that after we settled the people, Lord Maglock and I also went into the city together, I believe that the caravans and adventurers who traveled with us at that time can all testify to this."

There was another commotion in the audience, which showed that there were quite a few people who could testify.

"Thank you."

Maglok thanks Nagash.

"It doesn't matter."

Naga finished speaking and sat back in his seat.

After the scene calmed down a bit, Shay continued what Maglock had said:

"After that, Lord Albert thought that I was not doing my job well, and proposed a plan to atone for my crime..."

"In the name of Kageji, he committed many crimes... to divert the blame for the original incident."

At this point, the entire chain of events was laid out before everyone.
