Uncaring to Basil's sudden existential crisis, Iliana pointed to herself. "Due to that reason, people—the Church—believe that the real Pacifer must be a woman." Then, she pointed her finger to Basil.
"Unlike you, whose identity as a Pacifer is doubted by the Church, if I were to attach Pacifer behind my name, they would take my head before I knew it. Of course, they would do it discreetly since they don't want the world to know of the feud they have with Pacifer Clan."
Having recovered from his sudden existential crisis, Basil hummed to himself. "Is that the reason why the Church doesn't take an immediate action upon seeing Pacifer behind my name? They are still hesitating?"
"Yes and no." Iliana shook hear head faintly. "They actually don't doubt your heritage as a Pacifer; they doubt your existence as a Pacifer."
