Chapter 193 (1): The Church of Heavenly Father was Hit with an Unprecedented Nerf
Londan wasn’t far from Liuerpul, and the luxury train Wayne’s group rode on wasn’t meant for tourists. Departing in the morning, the train would arrive at its destination in the afternoon.
As the train rumbled along the railway, the scenery outside the window slowly moved. In one of the high-end cars, Mona looked at Vera with withering eyes. She should’ve shared a car with Wayne, but because Vera joined them, the two women were arranged to share one room, while Wayne stayed with his dog and owl.
Vera lay on her bed, feeling bored. She glanced at the scenery outside before glancing at the business books on Mona’s bed. Then she stood up and opened the door with a serious expression, deciding to play poker with Wayne.
When she reached his car, though, only the dog and owl were there.
“Where did he go?”
The man in question had left the six cars the Ministry of Magic had booked to look for Veronica. He was certain that the tsundere Dragonblood had to be on the train, only she was so prone to shyness that she wouldn’t show her face until the right moment.
He made it through the aisle, sniffing along the way but not catching the familiar scent. She hid well. Wayne turned around and went back to his car.
It was possible to hide on the train, but not on the ship. Sooner or later, he would capture her and have his way with her.
That afternoon, the group got off the train and had dinner at the restaurant beside the train station. Then a fleet of cars took them to the port, where they boarded a cruise ship to the Republic of Erland. They would spend one night on the ship and reach shore tomorrow morning, heading straight to Northern Erland, where the Snow family was.
Interestingly, Erland sought freedom and fought for sovereignty about twenty years ago, thus establishing the Erland Free State. And one year ago, it became a republic separate from the Windsor Federation[1].
Although it was still part of the Windsor Federation in name, yet to become completely independent, Erland’s independence was already set in motion and wouldn’t be stopped by Windsor. The reason behind it was a sensitive issue—the clue lay in the fact that the Republic of Erland followed the Church of Heavenly Father.
The royal family of Windsor had been suppressing the Church of Heavenly Father within the country and even tried to create an independent church. In retaliation, the Church of Heavenly Father set fire to Windsor’s backyard.
