But in places like Shulburn, where the status of demi-humans is given special protection, the residents have long been accustomed to the demi-humans' outings.
With the umbrella covering it and no one able to see what the head looks like, it won't attract any extra attention.
Let's just assume that some noble family is traveling with demi-humans.
Today, Priscilla left the mansion for the church because Bishop Michaela had specifically invited her.
Generally speaking, Bishop Michaela is not so formal.
Thinking about the recent discussions among the residents, Priscilla took a deep breath and had a general idea of the reason.
However, Xiuer was the territory left to her by her father, a territory created by her father's life's work.
Priscilla will absolutely not give it away.
With this determination, she pushed open the golden doors of the church.
Buzz—
A heavy, twisting sound came from between the doors, and sunlight streamed in through the open doorway.
Sure enough, when they opened the door, they were not greeted by the nuns who were standing there quietly.
Standing around the church were a group of familiar nobles and counts.
At this moment, each of them had a cold look in their eyes, and they all looked in the direction where Priscilla was.
Some nobles even had their hands on the hilts of their swords, seemingly ready to draw their longswords and attack her at any moment.
Priscilla's gaze swept across the faces of each nobleman, discerning the meaning in their eyes.
Their eyes were saying nothing less than:
'Get this damned alien out of here.'
The tiger-man beside him did a great job fulfilling his duties as a bodyguard.
She followed behind Priscilla, her fierce tiger eyes flashing with a warning that pierced the hearts of these nobles.
Under the intimidating gaze of the tiger-man, some counts even lowered their heads in fear.
Upon seeing the tiger-men, some nobles couldn't help but recall being beaten by them at the royal city auction ten years ago.
However, most people still stared at Priscilla with resentment, completely ignoring the tiger-man beside her.
The incident ten years ago was simply because they were caught off guard by the sudden attack by the demi-humans.
Moreover, most of the troops had been transferred out and were not in the commercial district in the city center.
The situation is completely different now, with so many nobles present, each of them carrying a defensive force.
Over the course of ten years, they also continuously honed their physical abilities.
The other side is just a tigress, what's there to be afraid of?
However, Priscilla didn't feel there was anything to be afraid of.
She completely ignored the cold stares of the nobles and walked straight to the front.
There were three people standing there.
The person on the left, Priscilla was somewhat familiar with him.
He was one of the few marquesses in the kingdom, Sancher Bryant.
He had visited Shulburn before, paying particular attention to Shulburn's legal treatment of demi-humans.
It seems that today's conflict between nobles was initiated by him.
The woman on the right also felt incredibly familiar to Priscilla.
She was dressed in an elegant and luxurious long gown, with a pure white fur shawl draped over her shoulders.
Holding a small white fox with pink tinges in her arms, she looked incredibly elegant.
When she saw Priscilla, the woman smiled at her.
Priscilla was deeply impressed by this woman.
Although they hadn't met many times, they regularly corresponded.
That was a 'relative' who shared the same surname as her, her adoptive father's sister, her 'aunt'.
Leah Clementina.
Priscilla returned the smile.
She already knew about Lia's arrival and had stayed at one of her houses in Shulburn for a month.
But the two never met during this period.
Standing in the very center of the three was a nun whose eyes were covered by a black veil.
She was standing on the church's high platform, demonstrating her status within the church.
Michaela Aurora, the true master of the Church of Abundance.
"Lord Priscilla, you have finally arrived."
The bishop in front of her placed one hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Priscilla as a sign of respect, and then slowly straightened up.
Priscilla responded gracefully, placing her hands lightly on her lower abdomen and giving a polite, slight bow.
Then, she raised her head, looked firmly at Bishop Michaela, and asked:
"What specific matter does the bishop want to discuss with me?"
Michaela remained calm and answered with the words she had prepared beforehand:
"My lord, I am here today only as a witness."
"Ms. Liya would like to discuss the specifics with you in detail."
Upon hearing this, Priscilla slowly turned around and turned her gaze to Lia beside her.
Lia chuckled softly, then addressed her in front of all the nobles:
“My elder brother said that you are, after all, his adopted daughter, so he specifically instructed me to do so.”
“When you are of suitable age and can stand on your own, I will return the Shur’s legacy to you.”
Priscilla remained expressionless, seemingly prepared for this.
Lia gently stroked the fox's soft fur and continued:
"From this day forward, Priscilla Clavner."
“Apart from your surname, the Clevina family will have no further connection with the Shulburn family.”
