Salute To The General

Nathan and the others left the Curia on the same day.

The next day, Eugene IV made a public declaration that Queenie was not an ideal candidate for the future Holy Maiden because she was not a disciple of the Curia.

Subsequently, he handpicked a devoted young lady named Alicia from Salinsburgh and officially announced she was the next Holy Maiden.

The moment the news was out, it shocked many believers of the Curia, but they were happy about it.

They were displeased with Queenie because she was an Aplothian and did not believe in the Curia.

When the multitudes learned that Eugene IV would select a new successor for the Holy Maiden, they were over the moon. The people were ready to celebrate when they heard that the position had gone to Alicia, a famous and beautiful disciple from Salinsburgh. While everyone from the Curia was celebrating gleefully, a funeral was taking place in Zehntausende Mountain Range, Pandera, where the largest werewolf clan resided.

Raytor, the alpha wolf, had just buried his son, Kaiden.

He sat on this throne in despair as he clenched two sharp wolf fangs in his hand.

Those were left behind by Kaiden, his beloved son.

According to the customs practiced by the werewolves, members of the tribe would pluck out the fangs of the werewolf who had lost his life in a battle right before the funeral.

The fangs were kept as a memento to remind the family members that the brave warrior would live on to protect his loved ones and fight alongside them, albeit already dead. Raytor stared at his son's fangs.

He could not calm himself down nor let him go because Kaiden was his only son.
