Zeke insisted, “I didn't go to Mr. Andres' house last night with Yazmin. We went to a different place.”

“Then tell us where you did go last night with Yazmin and what you did there.” Jeremiah crossed his arms.

Zeke was speechless.

His gut was telling him it would be a bad idea if he spilled the beans.

If the clan members knew Yazmin wanted him to elope with the Holy Maiden, both women would face a terrible

fate.

Staying silent was the best option for him.

“Nothing to say, eh? I don't think we need to talk to him anymore, Mr. Jeremiah. The truth is right before our eyes,

so let us just capture and punish him,” Peter proposed.

Jeremiah waved his hand. “Take him down, people.”

With that order, the crowd charged toward Zeke.

Zeke simply stood at his spot, unmoving. He viewed them as nothing but harmless ants.

Just as he was about to release his energy, a cold, feminine voice rang out in the open. “Everyone stop!”

It was the voice of Erwen!

The Holy Maiden was only second to the clan leader in terms of power. Hence, her words still carried a lot of

weight.

The crowd promptly stopped, so Zeke didn't release his energy.

Everyone was surprised to see the Holy Maiden walking out of his room.

It perplexed the clan members as she was well known to be a celibate and disciplined woman. It didn't make sense

that she would be inside a man's room this early in the morning.

They all knew that the Holy Maiden would never stand within a meter of a man, much less go into a man's room.

Jeremiah's tone carried a hint of reprimand. “What are you doing in his room this early in the morning, Erwen?”

Instead of answering his question, Erwen approached Peter and took over Mona's body.

Even though she was drowning in sorrow at that moment, she still defended Zeke. “I can prove that Mona's death

has nothing to do with Mr. Williams.”

The crowd erupted into chatter at her words.

“You're the Holy Maiden of Muraco, Erwen. You should be aware that you must take responsibility for what you say.

Don't spout nonsense if you don't have any evidence!” Jeremiah warned.

“I do have evidence!” she said as she examined Mona's body.

“You have evidence? Good. Then show us your evidence. If it's reliable, then I'll declare Zeke to be innocent. Of

course, if you fake the evidence with the sole intention of protecting him, then I'll have to punish you according to

Muraco laws.”

“Zeke didn't go to Mr. Andres' house with Yazmin last night. They were in my room because I ordered Yazmin to

bring him over.”

The clan members stared at her in shock. “You brought this man into your room, Holy Maiden?”

“Oh my goodness! How can you let someone like that into your room?”

“You... Have you forgotten that you're engaged? It's almost time for you to marry Cain!”

Jeremiah waved his hand to silence the crowd before speaking with a serious expression. “Even if he went to your

room last night, it still doesn't prove that he's innocent. He could've killed Mona after leaving your room!”

She stayed silent before admitting, “I was with Zeke the whole night yesterday, so he didn't have the time to

commit the crime.”

That sentence was like a bomb that had been dropped straight into the crowd. The clan members were appalled.

Not only did Zeke enter the Holy Maiden's room, but he also stayed with her for the entire night!

The Holy Maiden was no longer holy!

She, the goddess in their minds, had been tainted, and that was enough to make a few of the clan members break

down.

Zeke didn't expect that she would be willing to sacrifice her reputation in order to protect him and Yazmin.

The Muraco Clan saw her purity as more important than her life, yet she was willing to protect them both by

claiming that she had been sullied.
