The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Before this, due to her significant blood loss, Eliza had barely been able to stand in the Imperial Palace for more than a moment.

As she left, dizziness overtook her. Despite this, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to maintain composure in front of the King, planning to rest once she boarded her carriage.

But the moment she stepped outside the palace, everything went black. Unable to see ahead, she collided with someone.

She was caught just in time. Eliza bit down on her tongue hard, the sharp pain snapping her back to her senses. As she looked up, her heart skipped a beat.

The man who had caught her had a striking, coldly handsome face, but it was his silver hair that immediately gave him away.

Everyone in Bortenland knew that hair–it belonged to the notorious and ruthless warrior, the Prince Regent, Nolan.

“My deepest apologies for my lapse in manners, Your Highness Eliza quickly straightened and gave a respectful bow.

What really made her uneasy wasn’t his fearsome reputation–after all, Bortenland owed its peace to his power and military might

She had heard rumors about him detesting women getting too close to him.

Before returning to the city, officials had sent him several women as gifts, but by the next day, they were all found dead, their hands severed. It was said that even the smallest touch from him would lead to their death.

Though these rumors might not be entirely true, Eliza wasn’t about to take any chances. She bowed again, carefully apologizing.

To her relief, the Prince Regent didn’t seems to pay much attention to her. He only gave her a brief glance, then withdrew his hand and walked past her into the study without saying a word

Fliza let out a quiet sigh of relief. It’s trac–he really does hate women. Next time, I’ll make sure to keep my distance.

But what she didn’t know was that after she left with James, Nolan, who had already entered the palace, suddenly turned around and looked at her. His gaze lingered on the marks of injury on her back, and for a moment, be froze, staring after her.

rk inside the palace, Magnus immediately understood who Nolan had run into and asked, “Uncle Nolan, did you bump into Eliza Stonor!

Magnus, knowing his uncle had only just returned from years of warfare and wasn’t familiar with people in the capital, explained, “She’s the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Mowbay, Caroline’s daughter,

Magnus chuckled and waved a hand. “Not anymore. The Dukes new favorite isn’t her.

It was common knowledge in Hasen that six months ago, the Duke of Mowbay had brought a daughter back from somewhere, claiming she was the daughter of a benefactor.
