Upon hearing this, the entire church fell into a brief silence.
The other nuns were also surprised that she would actually say this, and they all gave her meaningful looks, signaling her to stop talking.
But the elder's urgent urging prevailed over the other nuns' attempts to stop him.
"Go on, what else did he say?"
Seeing the elder's reaction, the vampire girl understood the gravity of the situation.
So she recounted everything Victor had said in detail:
"That gentleman also mentioned the surname of Prince Priscilla."
"You mean, 'Clavner'?"
The girl thought for a moment, then nodded after recalling what she had heard.
"It seems to be this one."
Afterwards, she secretly glanced at the elder's reaction.
She noticed that the elder did not reprimand her; instead, he took a deep breath and fell into deep thought with great seriousness.
Seeing the elder's reaction, the girls around immediately realized that this elder, who knew human society best, must know something.
Then they heard the elder continue:
“Our princess does have a powerful father, but he is not her biological father.”
"It is said that the prince's biological father sacrificed himself to make the prince who he is today."
"Finally, a human archmage adopted her and gave her the surname 'Clevina'."
This is also the origin of their royal surname.
Upon hearing this closely guarded secret, the vampires in the room were all stunned.
Seeing the elder's solemn face, one could feel the air in the church grow even heavier.
Within the territory of Shulbon, there are two versions of the identity of Prince Priscilla's father.
The first one is the most popular explanation among the public.
Rumor has it that a beloved Earl of Laureen sacrificed himself to cure his daughter's illness.
His sacrifice moved the goddess of abundance, who blessed Shulbon with unparalleled bounty.
This touched a legendary mage who was in Shulburn at the time.
Out of compassion, he adopted Priscilla, who was still a minor.
This view is widely accepted among the residents of Shulbourne.
Even the statue of Earl Laureen still stands in the center of the city, and residents often come to pay their respects.
Furthermore, in this version of events, no one knows that Prince Priscilla and Earl Laureen are vampires.
Another version of the story is that the elders heard it from some noble "guests".
These nobles often came to the church under the guise of "atonement," and during their conversations, they would mention the crimes committed by Earl Laureen.
It is said that he single-handedly schemed against the nobles and subjects of the entire empire.
He even manipulated the only king in Samuel's royal family.
He plans to use the blood of millions of people in Shulburn to summon a terrible blood sacrifice in order to control the entire city.
However, his plot ultimately failed, and he was defeated by a legendary mage from outside the kingdom.
Eventually, his daughter was also adopted by the legendary mage.
In this version, Earl Laureen is described as a prince whom every vampire brethren worships.
Because he did something that countless vampires dared not do.
They dared to attempt to control human cities in such a perilous environment as human society.
Even the older vampires could only describe this as Laureen's commendable courage.
But in any case, the ending of the story was already destined: Priscilla was adopted by a legendary mage.
The vampire elder remembered the name of that legendary mage very clearly.
So, recalling the figure that had appeared in the church before, she stood there motionless.
In other words, that person just now was...
"Victor... Clavner?"
The legendary mage who died ten years ago.
That legendary mage who had been dead for ten years, yet was still deeply feared by the kingdom's nobles.
The vampire elders did not consider the issue of Victor's "resurrection".
Death is too distant for vampires, because they rarely die directly from accidents.
Even if the body is torn to pieces, and even the bones in the whole body are crushed into fine sand.
But with just a drop of blood, they can rebuild themselves.
Therefore, in the eyes of this vampire elder...
A ruthless person who can wipe out a prince-level vampire without leaving a trace, you're saying he can't be resurrected after death?
No vampire would believe this.
It's an obvious lie to deceive a three-year-old vampire.
At that moment, the elder felt only shock and relief.
The vampire nuns surrounding her were completely baffled by her shock.
Only she herself, reflecting on the recent events that were about to unfold in Shulburn, murmured her own thoughts.
"Shulbone, it's going to get bloody."
...
The church lights shone brightly, and the dazzling golden light shot straight to the dome.
The lingering sunlight at the edges illuminated the balcony with exceptional clarity, casting a shimmering veil over it.
The church is built very high, with its elevated balconies almost ten meters above the ground.
Looking up, you can gaze at the stars; looking down, you can see the brightly lit streets.
As the wind swept by, a golden light slowly descended upon the church's towering balcony.
Immediately afterwards, a black figure emerged from the gathered light.
Viktor had just regained his balance when he heard a gentle voice calling in his ear:
May abundance grace you.
He heard a sound, turned his head in the direction of the sound, and found a nun standing in front of him.
