Salute To The General

Laura said smilingly, "We've just chosen our future Holy Maiden among countless girls from all around the world, and she is none other than Mr. Cross' daughter, Ms. Queenie Smith. Congratulations, Ms. Queenie Smith, for you are now our future Holy Maiden. You will be next in line for the title of the Holy Maiden, and you'll be worshipped by innumerable faithful believers of the Curia worldwide. You'll be even more famous than the most popular female celebrity in the world." By the second half of her speech, she had already turned to Queenie. Evidently, those words were directed at the latter.

However, Queenie was confounded. She did not know whether it was good news or bad news to hear that from Laura.

Similarly, the expressions on Nathan's and Penny's faces changed.

That revelation gave Penny a terrible shock, and she soon found it inappropriate.

She did not like the idea of her daughter becoming some kind of Holy Maiden of the Curia, let alone the thought of the latter getting worshipped by countless believers.

As strange as she found the situation, she feared it too.

She was terrified of the Curia stealing her daughter away.

Hence, she quickly wrapped her arms around Queenie and solemnly uttered, "I won't agree to that. My daughter can be a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, or something along those lines. I don't mind my daughter being ordinary, but I will never let anyone steal her away, nor will I allow her to join some kind of denomination to become its Holy Maiden!"

The truth was that Penny instinctively felt that joining the Curia and becoming a Holy Maiden was bad for her daughter as her daughter might end up spending most of her time in Curia, making it difficult for them to meet.

There was no way she was going to let the Curia take her daughter away from her.

However, Nathan thought further than Penny.
