However, what Nisi did not know was that although Charlotte appeared calm on the surface, her heart was not as tranquil as it seemed.

She did alter the Divine Technique judgment, but... she had not modified the Holy Light's judgment on Campbell Great Priest.

To be honest, Charlotte had originally only intended to stop the Divine Technique, but when she unleashed the Divine Technique Counter and gained control over Campbell Grand Priest's Legendary Divine Technique, she was suddenly seized by an impulse that seemed to emanate from the "Holy Light".

Campbell Grand Priest was the Great Priest of the Holy Royal Court, and Charlotte had never thought that the Holy Light would judge him.

It was just on a whim that she had, going with the flow, changed the target of the Holy Light Judgment to him, and everything that happened afterward... was entirely the Holy Light's own verdict.

In other words, what Charlotte said was true, it indeed was the "Holy Light" that had judged Campbell Grand Priest guilty and had directly "purified" him.

This was precisely what shocked Charlotte.

Although the Holy Light of the Holy Royal Court was always harsh in its judgment of "pagans", it had always been quite lenient towards its own believers of the Royal Court.

Let alone priests.

Otherwise, many Fallen priests would not have been able to act high and mighty within the Holy Royal Court with impunity.

For the "Holy Light" to judge someone indicated that, in its eyes, Campbell Great Priest indeed committed heinous crimes.

However, based on the "evidence" Charlotte had gathered, besides cooperating with the Elf Bloodline from Moon God Island, Campbell Great Priest was far from deserving the "death penalty".

Not to mention, he represented the will of the Church Authority Country.

But when Charlotte's gaze fell on that pile of ashes in the hall, her eyes quickly narrowed.

Charlotte was no stranger to Holy Light Judgment.

In fact, during her time in Bold, the Church would occasionally hold judgment against pagans, and Charlotte had witnessed those unfortunate souls burned to ashes by the Holy Light.

However, the ashes before her were completely different from the ashes she remembered from the Holy Light's judgments; they appeared paler and finer, like bone ash that had been thoroughly pulverized.

These ashes... didn't quite resemble those left by the Holy Light's judgments from the past but looked more like the ashes left behind after the "deaths" of Alek and Campel, the two Bloodline Elves.

The thought that jumped into Charlotte's mind at this realization startled her:

Could it be... that like those Bloodline Elves, Campbell Great Priest was not a real living being but a Puppet?

With this thought, Charlotte's expression gradually became solemn.

"Quick... look!"

"Light... This is the Holy Light! It's the blessing of the Holy Light!"

The exclamations of the nobles interrupted Charlotte's thoughts.

Charlotte looked up to see flurries of platinum-colored photons descending from the sky.

Those photons were dreamy and dazzling, filled with the Holy Power, unmistakably the Holy Power of the Creator God.

Seeing the snowflake-like descent of the Holy Power, both Albrecht and Yulster turned pale, hastily retreating a few steps and keeping their distance while everyone's attention was focused on the Holy Light.

But Charlotte could not avoid it.

The place where the Holy Light descended was none other than above her head or, more accurately, the Holy Light was aimed directly at her.

The snowflake-like Holy Light that landed on her brought about a prickling pain, accompanied by the sight of the ancient text of the Blood Holy Scripture:

[The "Blood Holy Scripture" detects an ongoing Divine Skill Ritual——]

[Skill Name: Holy Favored]

[Infected One: Blood Ancestor Charlotte de Castel]

[Caster: Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal]

[Magic Effect: An inherent Divine Technique of the Supreme Divine Artifact, the Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal of the Creator God, bestowing blessings upon those chosen beings with the Creation Divine Grace...]

[Interception Probability Judgment: 100%]

[Intercept?]

Charlotte: ...?

Watching the ancient text within her sight, even she couldn't help but be stunned momentarily, and she had to read it several times carefully before she grasped its true meaning... Her expression turned somewhat strange.

The magic technique that could be called Divine Favored naturally was the Divine Arts that brought down Divine Favored.

Combining the description of the magic effect, it was clear... Charlotte had received affirmation from the "Creator God" and was bestowed with the Divine Grace Blessing that only a Saintess, a Divine Son, and a Saint could possess.

"Divine Favored! It's the legendary Divine Favored! Divine Lord above, I can't believe I'm witnessing Divine Favored with my own eyes!"

"This... this is the affirmation of the Divine Lord! This is the bestowal of Divine Grace!"

"Praise the sacred! Surely, Her Highness the Saintess' righteous judgment has won the approval and praise of the Divine Lord!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen! Long live Her Highness the Saintess!"

Some of the nobles, who also served as priests, recognized the origin of that Holy Light, they were extremely excited, and their gazes towards Charlotte turned more fanatical.

As for the two vampires disguised as knights... they were completely dumbfounded.

Even as a member of the Legendary Bloodline who had seen much of the world, at this moment, Albrecht too had a vacant stare, looking utterly bewildered as if thinking who am I, where am I, and what am I doing.

It couldn't be helped; the fact that a Blood True Ancestor was receiving the Divine Grace Blessing from the Creator God was just too fucking outrageous!

Even Nisi, who was sneakily drinking milk at a table, sprayed the milk from his mouth, drenching the servant standing opposite with milk all over the face and head.

It lifted its head, stared blankly at the Holy Light enveloping Charlotte, with an expression as if having seen a ghost.

Charlotte: ...

Oh no.

This time...

She seemed to really be treated as the Creator God's Saintess...

The drifting Holy Light descended, the richness of the sacred power burned Charlotte's body and soul like flames.

Although she was a demigod and such "burning" did not injure her, the piercing pain was as intense as ever.

Clearly, for ordinary people, the Creation's Divine Grace was a blessing, but for Charlotte, who was of the Bloodline, it was poison.

Charlotte did not know why this result occurred, but surely, she couldn't just accept the sacred Blessing like those mortals who received Divine Grace.

She sighed softly, silently thinking within her heart, "Intercept."

The next moment, the Blood Holy Scripture shone brilliantly, and the descending Holy Light was completely intercepted.

Then... it was absorbed by the Blood Holy Scripture.

But what unfolded before everyone else was a different scene.

They saw the dazzling Holy Light desperately rushing into Charlotte's body before disappearing, and a gleaming radiance erupted from Charlotte's form.

That scattering brilliance lasted for a full thirty seconds, and as the last particle of light was "absorbed" by Charlotte, the hall returned to normality.

The nobles in the hall stared blankly at Charlotte, their expressions numb from the shock of the sequence of events.

Charlotte "calmly" stood in place.

The intercepted Holy Light was so intense that despite the protection of the Blood Holy Scripture, the pain did not diminish one bit, but fortunately, everything was over, and the burning sensation dissipated as well.

However, although she hadn't "accepted" the Blessing of the Holy Light, the intercepted Holy Light was completely absorbed by the Blood Holy Scripture, and within Charlotte's perception, she could feel a massive amount of Divine Power being frantically transformed by the Blood Holy Scripture.

At the same time, the Blood Holy Scripture seemed to benefit somehow, as some of the damaged areas seemed to have been repaired a little more.

Of course, now was not the time to check the status of the Blood Holy Scripture.

Charlotte took a deep breath, turning towards Duke Wester and Viscount Kasim who had been completely petrified, she commanded:

"Take them... down."

Albrecht and Yulster were startled for a moment before quickly coming to their senses, respectfully obeying the order.

Duke Wester and Viscount Kasim offered no resistance.

And the nobles in the hall, whether they were from the Parliamentary Party, the Neutral Party, or the Lilac Party, at this moment, their gazes towards Charlotte no longer held a shred of disrespect or doubt.
