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 it 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.
They hid near the Cross residence to protect Queenie in secret.
Nathan was sitting in his study room with a gloomy look on his face when Penny came in with a bowl of dessert.
“What's wrong? Are you still angry?” she asked while glancing at him.
Nathan let out a wry chuckle as he replied, “No, I'm just unhappy with the Curia. Those guys will do anything to get what they want. This time, they're using my daughter. That is something I will not stand for.”
Penny nodded in agreement. “Ava told me just now that there are mysterious individuals lurking outside our house. She says they look like Laura's men. I'm guessing they're protecting Queenie in secret,” she said while setting the bowl down on his desk.
Nathan frowned. “Queenie does not require their protection. Besides, those clowns won't be able to do anything if fighters from the dark clan get wind of the Holy Maiden and come to attack Queenie.”
