When the nun, whose eyes were veiled by a light veil, appeared in everyone's sight, the nobles were all taken aback.

who is she?

The same question popped into everyone's mind.

Where are the guards outside?

"Why didn't any guards stop her?"

Amidst numerous skeptical and confused gazes, the black-clad nun smiled and walked steadily forward step by step.

The eyes of the nobles in the room remained fixed on her.

Bathed in golden light, the nun seemed to freeze the air, as if even the faintest sound dared not linger around her.

Her light and graceful gait was like that of an ethereal fairy, silently covering the magnificent ground.

It was as if her feet had not actually touched the ground.

Seeing this, no one dared to make a move.

As she passed Victor, the mysterious nun seemed to sense something and slowly turned around.

Even though her eyes were covered by a black veil, she still looked at Victor and gave him a gentle smile.

At this moment, Vega, who had been sleeping on Viktor's shoulder, also opened his one tightly closed eye.

Its gaze fell on the nun, scanning her from head to toe.

Then, it shook its feathers and peacefully closed its deep eyes again.

The nun walked up to Archduke Barlow and smiled slightly.

She completely ignored the puppet-like silence of August and, facing Grand Duke Barlow, spoke:

“I am Michaela Aurori, the bishop of the Church of Abundance in Shulbon.”

"I have always been grateful for the care and support of the Grand Duke and Earl Laureen."

The nun bowed, her hands clasped tightly to her chest.

The nobles, who had been standing there frozen like statues, suddenly came to their senses upon hearing Michaela's explanation.

Bishop of the Church of Abundance?

What is she doing here?

After realizing what was happening, many nobles began to think about it.

The Church of Abundance exists solely based on the territory of Shulbon.

Because within the vast kingdom, only the region of Shulbon was willing to accept the Church of Abundance.

After all, if the residents of a territory are religious, then the lord's control over the territory will naturally decrease.

To ensure their absolute dominance, lords would try to restrain the spread of the faith and the residents' contact with the church.

Of course, if the residents of the territory secretly worship a certain god, the lords will not interfere with their spiritual beliefs.

Of course, they have no right to interfere.

But Laureen is different.

He not only accepted the Church of Abundance, but also built a church for it.

Laureen's actions also benefited Shulbourne.

Not only does it guarantee bountiful harvests every year within its territory, but the annual agricultural output is also an enormous wealth.

It even ensured that the residents living in Shulburn had no worries about food and clothing.

The residents who have lived here year after year would find it hard to starve.

However, this also reflects Earl Laureen's own abilities.

His unique personal charisma and leadership style puzzled countless nobles.

They couldn't possibly maintain their primary rule while simultaneously getting the people of their territory to embrace the church.

However, now, Shulbon needs a new lord.

Undeniably, the new lord will attempt to diminish the Shulbon residents' faith in the Church of Abundance.

Therefore, Bishop Michaela sensed the impending crisis in advance, which is why he took the initiative to seek an audience with Archduke Barlow.

At that moment, the nobles saw the Grand Duke nod to the bishop.

The bishop was allowed to continue speaking.

The nun smiled gently, and her soft voice rang out again:

"Regarding the lordship of Shulburn, I believe it is necessary for the Earl of Laureen's sons to continue the inheritance."

Upon hearing this, the nobles present became restless.

They naturally disagreed with the bishop's proposal:

"What? This is impossible!"

"Shulbone has a large population, how can a descendant of a vampire inherit it?"

"Laurence's actions are unforgivable!"

The lords realized that the bishop's visit to the Duke of Barlow was clearly to secure the church's position.

If Priscilla were to inherit his title and lands, the Church of Abundance could maintain its current status in Shulbon.

What is the Abundant Church?

They're clearly accomplices of vampires!

"We absolutely cannot allow a monster offspring who wants to drain everyone in the territory to inherit Shulburn!"

This is what many lords think.

The bishop turned to face the nobles who had launched the wave of opposition.

At this moment, facing the bishop before them, these nobles inexplicably calmed down.

The sacredness and tranquility emanating from her made people dare not easily offend her.

It was as if, as long as one faced her, all the inner malice and anger would be dissolved by the spring-like aura emanating from her.

Michaela maintained her smile as she faced the now-calm nobles, her voice slowly rising:

"During the reign of Earl Laureen, the people of the Shure territory lived a peaceful and prosperous life."

"The shadow of famine has never loomed over this land."

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

Although they were unwilling, they could not deny the fact.

Although these noble lords ruled territories of varying sizes.

However, it is indeed unavoidable that disasters would cause residents to be displaced, go hungry, and even result in people starving to death on the roadside.

During years of famine, the crime rate within the territory will rise significantly, and many robberies will occur in various places.
