Samuel demands to know why Elias calls Leah his woman and addresses Elias as his father. Leah listens from the floor in shock. Elias steps forward and announces that Samuel is a vampire. He explains that Samuel feeds on virgin blood to purify his bloodline and needs one more victim to walk in the daylight. Leah remembers young women begging outside the church, realizing Samuel hid his evil under holy robes.
Samuel angrily asks Elias why he claimed Leah as his own bride. He calls the vampire his father in front of the congregation. Leah lies stunned on the floor, struggling to understand how her righteous bishop is tied to a bloodsucker.
Elias steps closer and states that Samuel is a vampire too. He tells Leah that Samuel drinks virgin blood to purify his bloodline. Samuel targeted ninety-nine girls before Leah, needing her as the final piece to walk under sunlight.
Leah remembers young women crying on the church steps for lost purity and justice. Samuel called them sinners and commanded guards to drag them away. Leah understands that the man in holy vestments committed those evils himself.
“Father? What are you saying? How could my fiancée be your woman?”
“The holy, gentle bishop in your eyes is also a vampire.”
“He purifies his bloodline by drinking virgin blood. Before you, he had already defiled ninety-nine young women.”
“Those girls are sinners bewitched by desire.”
The memory of the ruined girls confirms Elias's words for Leah. She looks at Samuel and recognizes the monster disguised in church robes. With Samuel exposed as a predatory creature seeking daylight power, will Elias pull Leah away from the altar, or will Samuel fight to claim the final virgin blood he needs?
