After coming out of the restaurant, the two bishops, Kevan and Tyland, who were behind Hepburn, were filled with rage.

Kevan fumed, “Nathan thinks too highly of himself! How dare he not show a modicum of respect to you, the Holy Maiden! He even has the gut to refuse to work together with the church!"

"Right! He's too arrogant. It's better not to work with someone like that. I hope he gets killed by the vampires. That'll appease me," Tyland chimed in. "Shut your mouths!" Hepburn scolded, furious at their reckless remarks.

The two of them hurriedly went silent when they noticed Hepburn getting furious.

The leader of the security team, Garon, asked, "Holy Maiden, now that Nathan has refused to work with us, what are we going to do? Are we going to head back to the church now?"

"No!" Hepburn snapped. "I won't give up. I'm going to try again. Let's stay at Caliburn Church for the time being. I'm going to report this to the Pope and see if he has any instructions regarding the matter."

With that, she got into the car.

Everyone else followed, and they headed to Caliburn Church.

Caliburn Church was situated on Adrune Street in Channing.

Adrune Street had a long history, and it used to be a marketplace for Adrunian products.

There were many foreigners who stayed there, and it slowly became a hub for them.

Many foreigners who stayed there permanently or those who came to invest in the country owned properties there.

One would get the impression that they were in a foreign country when they were on Adrune Street.

Caliburn Church was right in the center of Adrune Street.

It was a magnificent building.

The caretaker of Caliburn Church, Polliver Jorgenson, led a group of missionaries and staff to welcome Hepburn and the bishops.

"Welcome!"

Hepburn led her entourage and got out of the car.

She ordered Polliver, "I would like to stay here for two days. Please see to the room arrangements. I am going to report the progress of my work here to the Pope. So make sure that nobody disturbs me."

"Sure," Polliver answered immediately.

He wasted no time and quickly did as he was told.

Hepburn ordered everyone to leave her alone so that she could video call the Pope, Eugene IV.

On the other end of the screen, Eugene IV was seated in his chair in his study, regal as ever. He asked impassively, "How did your discussion with Nathan Cross go?"

"I have failed the church," Hepburn said guiltily.

Then she told the Pope about Nathan rejecting her offer.

Eugene IV furrowed his brows a little after listening to her. "Nathan is the chosen one He has to be

associated with the church. Perhaps

he refuses to work with us because we have not offered enough incentive for him to do so. How about this? He has a daughter, correct? Let's proclaim his daughter as the future Holy Maiden."

Hepburn was stunned. She replied in a small voice, "It is a great honor to be proclaimed as the Holy Maiden in Adrune, but Eurasians may not. appreciate the high honor. Besides, I don't think that Nathan will agree to this either."

"That is not important as long as the church is of the opinion that Queenie Smith is made the future Holy Maiden. The public will naturally

associate Nathan Cross with then et

church after we make the

el

е

proclamation," Eugene IV replied. "With that, the public will think about the church when Nathan kills any other vampires in the future."

Hepburn could not agree with the Pope's point of view. "I'm afraid that Mr. Cross will be furious."

"That is why I sent you to Eurasia to talk to Nathan. If you can get him to agree to work with us, it will be the best for all of us," Eugene IV insisted.

"I will try my best," Hepburn said begrudgingly.

“Good. Be careful in Eurasia. Those bloody vampires are on the move again. You are the Holy Maiden, and they're all vying to drink your blood. You have to be extra cautious," Eugene IV said.

"Thank you. I will be more careful," Hepburn replied respectfully.
