James smiled and gently reminded her. “Holy Lady, do you understand!”

Still dazed, Eliza mumbled a confused thanks.

James helped her to her feet. “From now on, you kneel only before the heavens, the king, and God.”

The meaning was clear–she now answered to no one but the king. Not even her father, the Duke of Monbay, had authority over her anymore.

Manbew turned his glare to Eliza, his voice tight with frustration. “So that’s it! You’re cutting ties with this family, huh?”
