To the Mosgla family, the hatred between them was no less than a deep-seated blood feud due to the death of the heir.
And for Marquis Fred, as the head of the Mosgla family and the grandfather of Eunice, watching his granddaughter being killed by Lynn in a public duel, his hatred for Lynn was equally deep-rooted.
Now that the chance for revenge had come, how could he possibly let it slip away?
Therefore, the Saint Laurent nobles, led by him, unanimously agreed with his advocacy.
"Ladies and gentlemen! All present are people of status! If we cannot let Limb Connector Lynn, this demon, receive the punishment he deserves, we will lose the public’s trust!"
"Limb Connector Lynn, this Demon Executioner! He has harmed countless citizens and nobles! These are his heinous crimes!"
Marquis Fred was well-prepared, bringing out the files of crimes committed by ’Limb Connector Lynn’.
"It is because of this demon that many innocent people have lost their loved ones! Lost important family members! Lost hope! Originally... their lives could have been happy!"
As a noble, giving speeches is a skill he excelled at, and under the influence of both new and old grudges, Marquis Fred’s speech was full of genuine emotion.
To say the least, his passionate speech resonated with many neutral nobles.
Some members of the nobility, who were unaware of the truth, silently sided with Marquis Fred at this moment.
Of course, they were merely observing quietly now.
Without tangible benefits, even if noble hearts agreed with you, they wouldn’t actively help out.
The Great Imperial Princess Hillena stood coldly observing all this by the side of Saint Laurent VI.
Lynn had foreseen this.
In a conversation last night, Lynn had told her what might happen inside the Council Hall.
The passionate display by Marquis Fred before her was one of the scenarios Lynn had predicted.
Hillena silently watched Marquis Fred’s performance.
At this moment, there was nothing more important in Marquis Fred’s passionate speech than firmly branding Lynn with the title ’Limb Connector’.
Simply put, it was all for his own agenda.
Ultimately, the final decision still lay in the hands of Saint Laurent VI and the Cardinals of the Three Great Churches.
"Your Majesty! I propose we keep it simple! Let us burn this demon!"
After hearing Marquis Fred’s fervent persuasion, Saint Laurent VI did not immediately agree, his expression indifferent as if he had not lost a son.
He knew Marquis Fred was performing for him.
Upon seeing this, Marquis Fred discreetly glanced towards Cardinal Connor of the Heavenly Principle Church.
On the matter concerning Lynn, they both stood in the same camp.
As a Cardinal of the Heavenly Principle Church, Connor’s status was extremely noble, revered wherever he went.
Yet, at that banquet, Lynn’s public humiliation brought upon him an irreparable disgrace.
Because of Saint Laurent VI’s forgiveness, he had no way to pursue Lynn’s rudeness and offenses, which made Connor’s hatred burn fiercely.
Moreover, just because of what Lynn did to the Heavenly Principle Church in the Soron Mountain Range, it was enough to push both sides into a relentless confrontation.
That was a branch of the Church in a city, and it ended up being obliterated by that boy with thunderous methods!
And yet, he couldn’t hold him accountable.
Thus, in Connor’s heart, Lynn was increasingly seen as a spy sent by the Demon Clan, and this suspicion had not been dispelled.
If not, how did he survive that calamity?
But since that banquet, Bishop Connor had never spoken of it to anyone again, as if a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for a fatal strike.
And now, it seemed it was time for him to show his fangs.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Fred makes a valid point, the Heavenly Principle Church also believes the trial process can be simplified. Now that we have irrefutable evidence and the perpetrator has voluntarily confessed, we can indeed proceed directly to the judgement."
Cardinal Connor carried significantly more weight than Marquis Fred.
Under his leadership, many nobles found the right direction to lean towards and echoed, "Your Majesty, the Bishop’s words make a lot of sense. Why shouldn’t we skip the process and go straight to the correct outcome?"
"Your Majesty! Such a demon must be severely punished!"
The ’united’ appearance of these nobles made Saint Laurent VI squint his eyes, yet he did not say anything.
And Cardinal Connor waited for Saint Laurent VI to provide an answer.
In the end, his focus on Lynn was not only because of personal enmity but for another extremely vital reason.
Because Lynn was extraordinarily sinister.
Even when Ivyst possessed terrifying strength before, Connor could use his influence with the nobles to restrain Ivyst.
After all, she was not adept at political maneuvering.
But Lynn was different.
Even as an adversary, one had to admit he had a brilliantly strategic mind.
This person’s appearance could be said to completely compensate for Ivyst’s shortcomings.
Connor believed that if given time, Ivyst and the forces under her would grow to a fearsome extent.
As a participant in the King’s election ceremony, this was something Bishop Connor absolutely could not tolerate.
After all, in the eyes of these Church higher-ups, the best result in life for a woman like Ivyst was to become a tool of the Empire, so even if the tool broke, it could be easily discarded.
