Chapter 156

“Mr. Pearson, no need for such formalities. Please, rise, Eliza said, surprised by Jenson’s sudden act of kneeling. She quickly reached out a hand, gesturing for him to stand

Once Jenson stood up, Eliza immediately asked the most pressing question. “Has the altar for the rain ritual been set up

Jenson nodded eagerly. “Holy Lady, do not worry. I heard that once you and His Highness started your journey to Plutonville, we worked through the night. The altar was fully constructed before last night. I had my people inspect everything today, so it will be ready for you to preside over the rain ritual tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, Nolan spoke up. “Serenity, you should rest now. The rain ritual tomorrow will be exhausting. You need to conserve your energy. I will take care of everything else!

“Alright.” Eliza did not hesitate to agree,

The long journey had been tiring, and fortunately, Jenson had already arranged a place for Eliza to rest. Once they arrived in the room. Ross and the others conducted a thorough check

Nolan had assigned Ross to be Eliza’s public bodyguard. For any official matters, she would rely on Ross. Meanwhile, Tina remained hidden, ensuring Eliza’s safety in secret.

Once Eliza closed the door behind her, she almost immediately collapsed onto the bed.

Later, Tina woke her up, and after a light dinner, Eliza went straight back to bed to replenish her energy. No one disturbed her that night

By the time she woke up the next morning, Eliza had fully recovered.

“Holy Lady, we had this gown specially made for you. Please wear it today as you pray for rain on behalf of the people of Plutonville,” Jenson said early in the morning, presenting an exquisitely luxurious red gown.

Eliza glanced at the red gown and then looked at Jenson with a faint smile. “Mr. Pearson, I know how important this rain ritual is to you, but considering the suffering of the people of Plutonville, trapped in their misery, if I wear such an extravagant gown to pray for rain, it might only provoke complaints and resentment from the people. Don’t you think?”

‘Are you kidding me? This gown is ridiculously elaborate. I’m here to preside over a rain ritual, not to get married, she thought to herself.

Eliza’s blunt comment left Jenson feeling quite embarrassed.

In truth, he had not meant to be excessive. He simply assumed that Eliza, coming from Hasen City and having been the daughter of the Duke’s estate, would be accustomed to fine things.

He worried that if their preparations were lacking, she might refuse to participate. So, in his desperation, Jenson had ordered that the gown be as luxurious as possible. However, he had not anticipated that Eliza would not be impressed by such things.

He sighed in relief but was also nervous again.

“The gown you brought me is too red, too flashy, and too extravagant. It is not suitable for today’s rain ritual. Please take it away, Eliza said, turning her head as she allowed Jenson’s maids to style her hair.

Jenson gave a bitter smile. “But we don’t have a second gown prepared.”

They had put every effort into creating this one gown for her. There was simply no backup.

Eliza replied, “No worries, I have another one!
