Charlotte's voice wasn't loud, but under the blessing of Holy Power, it traveled very far.

Before the Holy Palace, the Chief Priest, priests, and knights all changed their expressions.

Many priests focused their gaze on one of the Judgment Knights, who was one of the hidden legends within the "escort" team.

At the same time, he was also one of the Church Knights who had invoked the "Eye of Truth" just as Charlotte made her "bold claim."

Following their gaze, Charlotte's eyes naturally fell on this person, and when she saw his appearance clearly, the Ring Cross Rune above the Blood Holy Scripture subtly flickered, and a new line of information appeared in Charlotte's mind —

[Name: Aaron Nosak]

[Position: Second Judge of the Church Authority Country]

[Transcendent Rank: Legendary]

Goodness! Personal information?

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

But she quickly realized it was a capability she gained after deeply connecting to the Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal.

The Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal is the faith core of the Holy Royal Court, connecting all Holy believers and naturally storing all their identities.

And once Charlotte learned the identity of this hidden Church Knight, she understood why many knights and priests looked at him simultaneously.

The "Judge" is the highest position among Judgment Knights, and the "First Judge" is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the entire Judgment Knight system besides the Chief Judge, essentially the second-in-command among the Judgment Knight leadership.

Even within the entire Holy Royal Court, he is definitely high-ranking, the type who sits on the central platform during major festivals and meetings.

Everyone's gaze rested on the Second Judge, clearly waiting for his judgment.

And after knowing his identity, Charlotte also focused her attention on him.

She was curious about his conclusion, as it concerned the judgment of friend or foe.

The internal court had already been infiltrated; the Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal's information was quite limited, and now she couldn't discern by aura who was the true Holy Royal Court follower and who was a "Helios" follower.

And under the attention of the crowd, the hidden Second Judge's expression was complex, ultimately evolving into a resigned sigh:

"What she said... is true."

As soon as these words were uttered, priests and knights were reignited, quickly falling into turmoil again.

"Even Lord Aaron confirmed it..."

"It's true... It's actually true!"

"I knew it! I knew it! The court has declined over so many years; there must be problems within our church!"

"It's a warning! It's a divine warning!"

"May the Divine Lord have mercy on us, may the Divine Lord protect us..."

"Purge! All darkness and corruption in the court must be purged!"

Priests and knights were shocked, worried, excited, and angry.

And at the front of the Main Priest Group, Cardinal Priest Filiberto's expression was somewhat panicked, even fear crept in among the panic.

Charlotte also looked at Cardinal Priest Filiberto.

The Ring Cross Rune above the Blood Holy Scripture flickered again, but this time no information appeared.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

She had already established a connection with the Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal, but this time it didn't provide Filiberto's information.

This could only mean one thing: Filiberto might not be connected with the faith network of the Holy Royal Court.

In other words, this Cardinal Priest actually isn't a believer of the Holy Royal Court!

Charlotte's eyes subtly flashed.

What a coincidence, she was just thinking about how to discern enemies and friends within the Church Authority Country, and unexpectedly, she caught one directly through such a simple method.

And it's quite a big fish.

If it weren't for the impossibility of "seeing" all the priests now present, Charlotte really wanted to root out all the "frauds" directly.

Of course, now that one is caught, she definitely won't let go of this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Charlotte's gaze naturally fell on Filiberto again and smiled slightly:

"Lord Filiberto, do you now... still doubt my identity?"

Filiberto's expression subtly changed.

His expression change fell into the eyes of priests and Church Knights, and for a moment, many priests and knights looked at him subtly, with scrutiny and doubt.

Charlotte took it all in and quickly realized that the surveillance targeting her wasn't endorsed by all priests and knights.

And from the eyes of these priests and knights, this Cardinal Priest might be the executor leading this operation.

Charlotte continued:

"Lord Filiberto, thank you very much for arranging the highest courtesy from the Church Authority Country upon my arrival, the twelve Holy Bells that made me feel overwhelmed with favor."

"However... could you explain sending six Legendary individuals to deliberately hide their identities for escort as part of the Church Authority Country's reception for the Saintess?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many Church Knights' expressions became awkward, and Cardinal Priest Filiberto's expression was also very unnatural.

But he quickly regained his composure.

He lightly coughed, slightly bowed to Charlotte with a hint of apology:

"Apologies, Saintess."

"Please forgive our previous offense; recently there have been too many rumors about you on the continent, and before fully verifying your true identity, we could only remain vigilant..."

"Rest assured, we will definitely provide a satisfactory explanation for you."

Charlotte shook her head:

"Explanation? That's unnecessary; I actually understand the Church's concern, after all... I did indulge the spread of other Church's teachings in the Falling Star Kingdom, but now I am concerned with another matter."

With that, Charlotte put away her smile, and her voice was much less playful than before:

"Lord Filiberto, may I ask when was the last time you exerted Holy Power?"

Upon hearing this, Filiberto's expression completely changed.

His demeanor turned cold, and he said:

"Saintess, what do you mean by this? Do you wish to question my faith?"

Charlotte smiled faintly, and then her expression suddenly became icy:

"What if I say I do?"

"It's very strange, I can feel the vibrant faith of most of the priests and knights present, but from you, I feel nothing at all."

"It's really strange, you are clearly the Cardinal Priest, but why can't I sense a connection between you and Your Majesty Divine Lord?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the priests and knights looking at Filiberto immediately changed.

Even Second Judge Aaron looked at him with a hint of suspicion.

"Slander, this is slander! Charlotte de Castel! Even if you are the Saintess, you cannot slander me like this! I am the Cardinal Priest of the Church, praying at the Divine Statue every day, receiving the Blessing of the Holy Light! Even if I misunderstood you, you shouldn't slander me so!"

The Cardinal Priest Filiberto said angrily.

"Whether or not it's slander, you just need to exert your Holy Power, and I think... that's not too difficult for a Cardinal Priest, is it?"

Charlotte said calmly.

Seeing Filiberto's intense reaction, the expressions of the Judgement Knights gradually became solemn.

They tightened their grips on their weapons and silently surrounded Cardinal Priest Filiberto.

Filiberto shouted in shock and anger:

"What are you doing? Are you rebelling?!"

"They are not rebelling; they are simply making a rational judgment and also believe you are suspicious. If you wish to prove your faith, then please exert your Holy Power now."

Charlotte said.

"Yes, please exert your Holy Power!"

"Lord Filiberto, since Her Royal Highness the Saintess says she cannot feel your Holy Power, please verify it."

"Lord Filiberto, you've been reluctant to exert, could it be... you have truly fallen?"

The priests and knights echoed.

Even Second Judge Aaron stepped forward, and said sternly:

"Lord Filiberto, please exert your Holy Power."

Filiberto's face was unsightly.

He stared fiercely at Charlotte, a trace of venom flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly regained his composure.

"Lord Charlotte, I will remember today's events."

He said coldly.

After speaking, he glanced at the Judgement Knights surrounding him and said:

"Since it is so, watch carefully!"

With that, Filiberto raised his hands and prayed softly.

Gradually, platinum-colored Holy Light emerged around him.

"It's Holy Power!"

"I knew it, Lord Filiberto is so devout, how could he fall?"

"It must be Her Royal Highness the Saintess who made a mistake."

Seeing that sacred radiance, the surrounding priests fell into discussion again, and the Judgement Knights surrounding Filiberto hesitated.

"Lord Charlotte, I have already exerted Holy Power, do you have anything else to say?"

Filiberto said coldly.

"Oh, is that so?"

Charlotte chuckled lightly.

She gently hooked her fingers, and the Holy Power around Filiberto dissipated like a deflated balloon.

Seeing this, the priests were slightly dazed, and Filiberto was even more shocked.

"Lord Filiberto, the Divine Arts just now were exerted by the Holy Artifact on you. Sorry, that doesn't count as your power, I've now turned it off for you."

"Next, please exert your own Divine Arts."

Charlotte said.

Filiberto's expression turned extremely unsightly.

But quickly, he started laughing.

The laughter turned into ferocity.

Suddenly, Filiberto exploded with Legendary Level aura and charged directly towards Charlotte.

"Attack—!"

He shouted angrily.

As his voice fell, three more Legendary auras rose among the crowd, charging at Charlotte together.

Of the six Legendaries "monitoring" Charlotte, four actually struck at her simultaneously!

Charlotte raised her brows, also channeling Holy Power through her connection with the Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal.

However, before the attack arrived, the tall figure of Second Judge Aaron was already blocking her front.

"Protect Her Royal Highness the Saintess!"

This Judgement Knight shouted angrily.
