"ARREST THE WITCH!" 

The finger pointed at Alexa made her shrug immediately. Looking at the door, he saw the guard entering.

"We have more than enough evidence to accuse this woman of witchcraft, Father Gianpietro. GUARDS!" Kurt spat, wasting no time listing what the evidence was. 

Alexa's feet turned to the window, and she saw Blue Eyes open his arms to pull them away, placing himself in front of her as a human shield.

"NO ONE WILL DO THIS! YOU CANNOT! IT'S WRONG!"

"The Church will judge her so-called innocence, Father! Did you lose your faith in the Church? Will you stand by the witch, priest?! Its corruption has no limits. I will not allow you to become the Bishop of Kielstadt!"
