Trinity Bloods (FanFic)

48† Good Always Overpowered

Staring up at the Pope, Eden's eyes were bright red as were the tears flowing down her cheeks. She slowly shook her head back and forth a bit, almost pleading with the group sitting up high. Abel looked to his own members and then to Caterina who was quick to stand up.

Eden couldn't move, she was so shocked. Her body felt weak and almost went limp that Esther just kept a hold of the woman. "Abel... Can he do that?" Esther's eyes were red from crying as well. She was just as concerned as the rest of them. With how Esther looked, Abel dared not to look at Noelle.

"Who's the one responsible for this claim?" Caterina was up on her feet and walking towards the Celebrant in order to take his papers. Seeing it was typed she shook her head. "Who is responsible for this information?"

The crowd in the pews were all taken aback at the outburst from Cardinal Sforza, so much that Cardinal di Medici was confident the people would not care for her as much as him after such an incident.

The Celebrant turned to face the Cardinal then bowed slightly, "I am sorry Cardinal, but I was gifted this by God himself. Over the night, this was placed on my table in my room. And upon reading it, I have determined it to be true."

"Then who is planning on removing the statue? This is an unauthorized removal of something so old and historic. We will have a meeting over this. It will be months of talking and voting on the outcome of a relic in general. Especially one so old! Not just exclaim something will happen during a service!"

"My dear sister! We had no idea. I thought this was a plan stated by you. After all, your team found some very interesting artifacts. Oh, right, that was my wonderful Inquisition that found such old books and history stored away." Francesco smiled his usual cheeky grin and lowered his eyes upon his sister.

"If I recall correctly, it was my men that had found those rooms first." Caterina stood firm with her words.

"And why was it that they found it and did nothing with it?" He knew why they found it but wondered if she would out Eden at all.

The men clad in armor stood firm, the closest one standing near Eden felt his gut wrench. Looking to another soldier he pointed Eden out to the group. Once the men started to notice Eden's red tears and eyes, one of them blurted out, "A vampire!"

This in return caused the room to go in an up roar, people gathering away from where the man pointed. Eden sat clinging to Esther, her face contorting in all sorts of emotion. Seeing how people were acting towards her made her heart ache. Caterina looked at her group seeing how they tried to hide Eden in the midst of them. She seemed harmless, but her brother's men were trying to throw fuel to the fire.

Standing in the midst of the chaos, Alessandro stepped forward, his sister noticing and moving closer to him, "A-are they really g-going to tear down the statue?"

Caterina gave a sad look and knelt down to her brother's level, "Only you have the say to make sure that doesn't happen, Your Holiness. If you reject something happening to such history then you may say so now."

"But the story... It w-wasn't l-like father Abel had read. What happened t-to it?" His eyes showcased the care and such needed to know he was not involved with this charade. The Pope looked to the crowd as men started to surround him, keeping Eden out of sight from him.

"I believe we have someone that listened to our chat and decided to change the story up. Look at the papers yourself. It is typed out and what Father Abel read to you was hand written in Latin. There is no mistake that this story today is a lie." Caterina shot a glare towards her brother who sat chatting with Cardinal Borgia. "But what you believe is much different from the story everyone heard today."
