Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 432: Chapter 250: Public Trial Across the City (15,000 Words) (Part 9)

That is to say, Lynn had anticipated how the situation would ultimately evolve even before being captured!

Thinking of this, Lynn’s image as a genius and her mysterious aura in her heart escalated even further.

Hillena even had a faint feeling that this guy might really emerge unscathed from this incident.

...

Hillena rushed back to the Substitute Punisher’s prison without a moment’s delay, quickly dismissing the people around to choose to be alone with Lynn.

With many confusions in her heart, she needed an answer.

"You’re here?"

As for Hillena’s arrival, Lynn seemed not at all surprised.

Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, even though Hillena was emotional, she suppressed a bellyful of questions, took a deep breath, and then softly recounted what happened today in the Council Hall.

Throughout the entire process, Lynn maintained an extremely calm posture, occasionally responding with a simple "Mm".

But the more he exhibited this demeanor, the itchier Hillena felt in her heart.

Until she finished speaking about how the Three Great Churches voted two to one in favor of her proposition for a ’Holy Tree Judgement’, she couldn’t hold back any longer and bluntly asked: "Was all of this part of your plan?"

Facing Hillena’s question, Lynn didn’t hide anything. He just shook his head and softly replied:

"I merely spoke out what they would do in advance."

Lynn didn’t withhold anything; he explained the cause and effect to Hillena and analyzed everything for her, one by one.

Sure enough.

The whole affair was precisely as Hillena thought, with everything that would happen constantly within Lynn’s grasp.

Lynn had calculated to perfection how everyone’s personality would affect their choices when faced with situations.

This consideration was something Lynn had already accounted for before the battle at the Divine Moon Gap.

From the very beginning, he clearly knew what kind of commotion he would cause, so he planned in advance.

Lynn was very certain that when Hillena proposed the ’Holy Tree Judgement’, the Heavenly Principle Church would definitely oppose it with all their might.

And because of the Silent Church and Fertility Church’s laid-back nature, the Heavenly Principle Church’s voice had become particularly loud in recent years, making it inevitable for Saint Laurent VI, who always prefers balance, to intervene, unwilling to see the Heavenly Principle Church dominate alone.

As expected, things unfolded exactly as Lynn anticipated, ultimately leading to a voting decision.

This was the result Lynn wanted.

And next, it was time for those two pieces of paper to come into play.

If it weren’t for these two items, in the end, the Silent Church and Fertility Church would certainly follow the Heavenly Principle Church’s suggestion and cast their opposition votes.

Therefore, the content on that piece of paper could be said to hold the key to making these two churches change their stance.

This puzzled Hillena even more.

As figures akin to Cardinals, there are almost none within the Empire who possess such esteemed status and position.

In that case, how could such figures so easily change their stance over a few lines recorded on a piece of paper?

"What on earth did you write on the paper you asked me to hand over to the two churches?"

Even after listening to Lynn’s explanation, Hillena was not satisfied, furrowing her brows as she inquired.

Upon hearing this, Lynn gently smiled: "Secret."

As a Magician, maintaining a certain level of mystery is beneficial to keeping the audience’s sense of novelty.

And this might prompt Hillena to become curious about him.

This was Lynn’s purpose.

As for the content on the paper, it was actually quite simple.

It was nothing more than divided into two directions.

For the Silent Church and the Fertility Church, they couldn’t be lumped together.

First was the Silent Church.

To persuade their Cardinal to cast a favorable vote during the decision, one must seize the Achilles’ heel of the entire Church, which is the former Silent Saintess, now the Bright Moon Goddess Tiya, after being usurped by Beatrice.

After the battle at the Divine Moon Gap, Lynn had never doubted Tiya’s ability to fully grasp control of the Silent Church.

Therefore, simply notifying her of the cause and effect via the paper, she would certainly direct the Cardinal to vote in favor.

The real challenge was how to get the Fertility Church to also vote in favor.

Since Lynn had no previous contact with this Church, the means available to him were extremely limited.

As for those whom he did not understand, Lynn would not take any reckless action; he merely employed the most classic method — to entice with benefits.

No matter who it is, as long as they possess desires, they can certainly be persuaded.

Thus, Lynn presented them with a proposition they absolutely couldn’t refuse.

Being familiar with the original novel, Lynn knew that the Fertility Church had been following a divine oracle for years, searching for the traces of the Earth Mother Tree, but even after many years, they hadn’t found any, which had been their long-standing conundrum.

Therefore, he leveraged his role as a transmigrator and prophet, deciding to offer the exact location of the Earth Mother Tree as described in the books, as a bargaining chip, requesting the Fertility Church to vote in favor.

This led to the shocking scene that happened not long ago.

Judging by the results, Lynn’s plan was perfectly executed.

Looking at Lynn’s composed and calm demeanor, although she was unaware of the specific inner workings, a complex expression still surfaced on Hillena’s face.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, at that very moment, she was still immersed in the recent shock.

Simultaneously, she once again pondered, "Why isn’t this guy my subordinate," and for the first time ever, felt a tinge of jealousy towards Ivyst.

Hillena had never harbored such thoughts against anyone before.

Meanwhile, Lynn was unaware of Hillena’s dark thought of "wanting to poach him", still reflecting on Hillena’s words just now.

According to her description, in three days, he would be escorted to Saint Square to face judgment from the Holy Spirit Tree, under the watchful eyes of millions throughout the city.
