Eugene IV went along with her statement and said, “Yes, exactly. The Holy Maiden is right. Mr. Cross, please understand that the Holy Maiden plays a huge role in the Curia. If you don't like your daughter being the next Holy Maiden, then I will choose someone else instead. I'm sure we can all work things out in a peaceful manner.”
Those around Eugene IV knew that he had admitted defeat in the face of Nathan's power.
By fighting his way into the Curia palace hall and confronting Eugene IV in person, Nathan had struck fear into the hearts of the Curia members.
Eugene IV knew that Nathan was only here because he didn't want his daughter to bear the burden and risks of being the next Holy Maiden.
That was especially the case since she got attacked by members of the dark clan the other day. Eugene IV decided it would be best to just give in to his demand.
Seeing that he had achieved his goals, Nathan softened his tone as he said, “I'm glad to hear that you are willing to change the candidate. I apologize for recklessly barging into your palace like this.”
It wasn't his style to be unforgiving and cruel.
Eugene IV was well aware of Nathan's reputation as the God of War of Eurasia, especially his killing of the vampire duke, which had shocked everyone in the Curia.
They believed that the Curia would benefit greatly by allying with someone as powerful as Nathan.
By defeating Arlo and Baccio, Nathan successfully cleared all three levels and shocked every single person in the Curia.
There was no way Eugene IV would dare reprimand Nathan for his reckless behavior.
“You're being far too kind, Mr. Cross. This whole incident was simply the result of a misunderstanding between us. Now that we've worked things out, let us put this in the past and move on,” he said with an apologetic smile.
