‘Why is she suddenly holding a holy relic?’ Count Beauport thought as he stared in shock together with the other vassals.

They were agitated as they didn’t expect this situation in the slightest.

“Divine Judgment…” Vincent murmured.

Holy relics were extremely hard to find. They were usually found in unexpected places.

Humans could not look for one. Rather, the holy relics would randomly appear on its own.

Once, it was buried under the sea. And at times, it was mixed in the trash.

For her to find such a relic… it could only be considered as a miracle.

The one chosen by the Gods.

Vincent was greatly astonished.

‘She never fails to surprise me.’

“The Divine Judgment? I’ve never heard of such a thing! What could that relic possibly do?” The count asked.

He was trying to conceal his anxiety and delay as much time as he could.

Vincent had already despised breathing in the same air as the count—hearing the count’s ignorant words only managed to irritate him even more.

The young lad answered, “When confessing in the face of God, one should always tell the truth. If one tries to deceive God, judgment will fall upon him, and he will be condemned for his sins.”

God’s Judgment.

In ancient times, the relic was used as a training tool for priests so that they could further obey the doctrine of God.

But in this situation, the holy relic has a different use.

It was to determine who was lying and who was telling the truth.

The vassals were in panic.

They did not know what to do.

‘How is this possible?!’

It was like scattering ashes on the already cooked rice.

The tension in the basement was palpable.

Count Beauport spoke, “J-judgment, but how…?”

At that moment, Aria moved her lips.

Lloyd, who was capable of lip-reading, delivered her words to the audience.

“Let’s test it, shall we?”

“…..!”

“Ah, that’s right. We happen to have someone in front of us that could confirm its effectiveness,” he said in a mocking tone.

Lloyd continued to lead the situation in a comfortable manner.

“I’ll ask you first, Vincent.”

The blonde boy bit his lips.

Aria approached the boy while holding the relic.

Vincent pulled out his hand and held the relic as well.

He was extremely nervous.

“Are you a spy of the gutter rat?”

“…No,” he replied in a subdued manner.

Of course, nothing happened.

Vincent was vindicated.

In a matter of seconds.
