The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"If that's the case...I'm sorry."

"..."

Ian looked at Joan of Arc who was apologizing to him, and his expression looked quite uncomfortable.

What did my sister do wrong?

Should I endure this kind of pain just because I'm too kind?

"No." Ian touched his sister's head with a trembling hand.

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault."

"Well...if you really feel it is necessary to say it at that time-"

"Then say it."

"Brother will support you at all times."

【You don’t know whether what you are doing is right or wrong. 】

[But you know that respecting her opinion is what you should do as a brother.]

【You spent a difficult night with anxiety. 】

[The next day, the trial came as scheduled. ]

[You and Jeanne were taken to two completely different places. ]

"sit down."

The two English soldiers holding Ian said so.

But Ian himself looked at the position in front of him, feeling a little confused.

"Are you... not mistaken?"

"I sit here?"

Just as the boy was surprised.

It is obvious that he and his sister are both "prisoners" imprisoned.

At this moment, he can sit in the place with the widest view - that is a seat that can have a clear view of the trial scene.

This is too abnormal.

"Yes, according to the Archbishop, you should sit here."

After the English soldier said this, he did not answer any more questions.

俅【You realize that this is a position specially arranged for you. 】

【Someone wants you to witness the entire trial process. 】

[You soon realize who has this idea—it’s François Plehrati.]

【Where is she? ! 】

Before Ian could find Pulelati, a commotion broke out at the trial scene.

Joan of Arc appeared in everyone's sight - and behind her were two English soldiers.

No.

To be more precise, he should be a magician.

In order to ensure that there would be no problems in this trial, the judges made every effort and even invited a magician for this purpose.

In this stressful environment, Joan of Arc was brought to the trial.

Her expression looked very nervous, and her hands, which were resting on the seat, were shaking constantly.

In this situation, Ian couldn't help but feel a little more distressed for her.

Fortunately-

The position where he sat was too special.

This allowed Joan of Arc to recognize her sworn brother at a glance.

And at the moment when the two looked at each other, no matter how noisy the environment was, it could not affect them.

Don't be afraid...my brother is with me.

The girl realized this and became brave.

Her hands no longer trembled, and there was a bit more determination in her eyes as she looked towards the court.

That's a sign of no longer being afraid.

[The change in demeanor is the easiest thing to notice.]

[The people who watched the trial soon began to talk about it.]

[They looked at the girl standing alone in the sight of everyone, and their attitudes were surprisingly more approving.]

[But this was not the result theologians wanted - they wanted the people of England to see Joan of Arc trembling with fear, but now it had the opposite effect.]

[Angry and humiliated, they immediately started the trial process.]

A gray-haired Grand Inquisitor picked up the folded parchment in front of him.

He took a look at the content above, and then spoke in a very serious tone:

"Jeanne d'Arc."

"Is that your name?"

"Yes." Joan of Arc responded neither arrogantly nor humbly.

"Hmm..." The Chief Inquisitor snorted coldly, then looked at the parchment in his hand.

His eyes finally stopped on a line of words.

"Jeanne d'Arc."

"Do you admit that you, as a pastor, married your adopted brother?"

"Wow--!"

[The words from the Grand Inquisitor instantly ignited the emotions of those present.]

[If a person is a pastor, he/she should not marry his/her brother-it is against the teachings of the church.]

[Public opinion against Joan of Arc suddenly became radical.]

[But you are more concerned about another thing - how did the Inquisition know all this? ]

Your brain starts to work quickly.

You soon realize the truth.

[The priest's identity comes from the betrayal of Domremy Village. ]

[As for the fact that he and Joan of Arc were married, it was probably speculated by Plerati - she really had this ability.]

【You clearly know this is going to be a very difficult question to answer.】

however--

But things did not develop in the direction that Ian worried about.

When Joan of Arc heard this question, she did not hide her feelings at all, but nodded very seriously.

"You're right."

"I...did marry my adopted brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy crowd quieted down.

Everyone looked at her with an extremely surprised expression, as if they had stopped breathing - because no one thought that the girl would directly admit such a thing.

And Ian even more so.

Although he really wanted to openly acknowledge Joan of Arc as his wife.

But at the same time, he also knew how serious the consequences would be if he said such words.

But now——

She laid it all out in the open.

What does she want to do?

Ian's worried doubts didn't last long.

Because Joan of Arc soon revealed the answer to the mystery.

Her eyes slowly swept over everyone present.

The sound, not too loud but loud enough for everyone present to hear, echoed through the faded trial scene.

"You may think that I am a traitor, or that I have no sense of shame."

"but--"

“I remember hearing the Lord say something.”

"There should be no fear in true love, because love is perfect, but fear involves punishment. Those who fear punishment cannot be made perfect in love."

"And for me, such complete feelings are sincere and unique."

"so--"

"Following the Lord's will, I no longer fear the punishment caused by love, nor do I want to hide anything anymore."

"I love my foster brother as much as he loves me."

"..."

[You didn't expect that Joan of Arc would use the content of the doctrine to refute the attack from the Inquisition.]

But you are happy.

[Because you know this is the most effective way - she is using her own understanding to fight back against the enemy in front of her.]

【Along the way, she is no longer the cowardly and timid stepsister. 】

【and--】

[This can be considered a confession from her heart. ]

[Although the situation is a bit embarrassing, it still makes you feel warm. ]

Jeanne's words caused everyone present to whisper.

It must be said that the statement she quoted was indeed a perfect counter-attack to the words of the Tribunal.

Once again the mood of the crowd changed.

What they said at this moment might not be exactly the same, but they all vaguely revealed the same meaning.

——"It's not that hard to accept that Joan of Arc married her adopted brother."

— "This is permitted in the Lord's teachings."

This is definitely not the effect the Inquisition intended to achieve.

They soon abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to attack Joan of Arc over the issue of marriage.

The despicable gaze scurried across the remaining parchment, and soon summoned many new accomplices.

"Why are you organizing a war and destroying the friendship between England and France?!"

"You are blaspheming the Lord's name!"

"But the Lord never told me that friendship means setting foot on a friend's territory and then making the people living in that land live a life of inadequacy."

"I'm just trying my best to prevent this from happening."

"..."

"Why would you wear something so conspicuous in the middle of a war?!"

"The Lord should have said that being humble and low-key is a quality that every one of us should have."

“But the Lord also said, take up your weapons and drive out the enemy.”
