Salute To The General

Laura was still somewhat angry when she left Nathan's house.

To her, Nathan was being insolent and ungrateful.

As many dreamed of being chosen by the Curia to be the next Holy Maiden, she believed i I was something to be proud of.

She assumed Nathan was angry because he saw Hepburn being hunted down a few days ago, which gave him a bad impression of Holy Maidens.

A few of her subordinates quickly rushed forward and escorted her to the car.

Her trusty subordinate, Sergio, even opened the car door for her.

"Mr. Cross is a lot angrier than I had expected. He has already arranged for someone to contact the Pope. He probably thinks it's dangerous for his daughter to become the Holy Maiden. We need to dispel his worries as best we can. From this moment on, we will protect Queenie in secret at all times. Do not make any mistakes, or I will have your head on a silver platter," Laura said as she sat down in the back of the Maybach.

"Don't worry, Cardinal Laura. I'm a Holy Knight of the Curia, so I'm sure I can keep Queenie safe!" Sergio replied with a confident smile.

Laura nodded. "Make sure to update me immediately if anything happens."

"Got it!" Sergio replied.

Laura then left in the car while Sergio and a bunch of elite Curia members stayed behind.
