Eugene and Kristina were sitting in a drawing room within the Alcarte Cathedral, waiting for the vicar to arrive. Had they been waiting for ten minutes already?

Knock-knock.

They heard a quiet knocking sound.

Kristina got up and opened the door. Eugene decided to also get up from his seat for the moment.

The vicar, Eileen Flora, entered the drawing room. As Eugene had been told, she was wearing a pure white robe, which was a robe usually worn by the priests of the Light, and she also had the pure-white mask covering up her face that was mentioned in her description.

With a slight smile, Kristina bowed her head to Eileeen.

“It has been quite a while, Bishop Eileen,” Kristina said in greeting.

“Have you been well, Saint Kristina?” Eileen said in return.

Having exchanged casual greetings, they sat down, with Eileen facing Eugene.

Eugene titled his head curiously as he stared at the pure white mask beneath her hood. Black lenses had been inserted into the eye sockets of the mask that Eileen was wearing, so not only her visage, but even her eyes were covered.

‘Ahah,’ Eugene thought as he realized something.

He had been wondering why she was so obsessed with covering herself up. As he figured out Eileen’s true identity, Eugene smirked.

Eileen watched silently as he went through this thought process. She then bowed and said, “It is an honor to meet the master of the Holy Sword, Sir Eugene Lionheart. I am Eileen Flora, the vicar of Alcarte.”

“Nice to meet you,” said Eugene politely as he also returned the bow in acceptance of her greetings. Then, immediately after they were done exchanging greetings, Eugene asked, “Are you a vampire?”

Eugene was well aware that this was a rude question, but he felt that there was a need to confirm his suspicions.

“Yes,” Eileen admitted without any attempt to conceal her identity.

Even after revealing her true nature, however, she still didn’t take off her mask. Eugene also didn’t feel the need to go so far as to force her to do so.

She wore long robes with the hood...
