The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

When Nolan first returned. Ross and the others assumed his condition hadn’t acted up,

But now, taking a closer look, they noticed his eyes were sull bloodshot, and his face was unusually pale.

Nolan nodded calmly. Itis mind had sented, but his body always showed lingering symptoms after an attack. It made sense that Ross had noticed.

Ross and the others exchanged stunned glances

That fast? How long was it this time?” Ross’s voice carried a note of disbelief–mixed with cautious excitement.

Their reaction wasn’t without reason. In the past, Nolan’s episodes lasted at least three hours at their shortest. The worst ones dragged on for an entire day and night.

But today, it was less than an hour.

Ross suddenly had a thought. His eyes lit up. “Could it be that Lawrence’s medicine is finally working?”

Nolan considered it for a moment, then shook his head. “Probably not.”

He knew his own condition well enough. He had been taking Lawrence’s prescription for nearly half a year. If it were truly working, he would have noticed a gradual improvement–not this sudden, drastic change

Then, Nolan’s gaze flickered as he recalled something–Eliza’s voice, reciting scripture in that clear, steady tone.

If anything had an effect, he thought perhaps it was the content of what Eliza had been reciting.

After returning to Hasen City. Nolan visited Holy Cross Monastery several times, always seeking prayers when he felt an episode coming on. He listened to the priests‘ chants and made generous offerings, hoping for some relief

This time had been no different. But before the priest could even finish, the pain became unbearable.

He had left in a rush, barely aware of where he was going until he found himself by the stream behind the mountain. That was where he had run into Eliza

Thinking of Eliza, Nolan asked absently. “Have the medical books I asked Lawrence to find arrived yet?”

Ross scratched his head, confused by the sudden change of topic. “Yeah, they got to Hasen City yesterday afternoon.”

“‘”Good. Let’s head back” Nolan nodded.

Ross blinked. “Already? But, Prince Nolan, don’t you usually stay longer after an episode?”

Nolan didn’t slow his stride. “No need.”

The priests had prayed for him countless times, and yet today, Eliza’s quiet recitation had done more for him than all their chanting combined.

He thought maybe he should have her pray for him instead. Let her rack up favors, then repay them one by one.

The only issue was that Saint Grace Nunnery didn’t allow men to visit freely. He’d have to find another way.

As he walled, a thought crossed his mind. His lips curved slightly, an amused glint dashing in his eyes.

The next morning. Nolan arrived at Sains Grace Nunnery with the medical books.

The gates were still shut. He knocked. No answer.

He knocked again and again. Finally, after his fifth

after his 6th attempt, a voice called out from inside.

Sara Grace Nunnery is preparing for the Holy Lady’s prayer ceremony for the nation. We’re closed for a month. If you wish to visit, please come back another time.”

Nolan responded evenly. Please wait. I’m not here for a visit leen assigned in oversee the preparations for the Holy Lady’s prayer ceremony”

There was a brief pause before the voice inside asked. “Aar you Priner Nolan?

Cady then did the gates of Saba Grace Nunnery open. Siner Nolan had previously escorted Eliza here under royal orders, the nuns all recognized him. The Reverend who greeted but didn’t question his words

So, in an official capacity, Nolan was indeed here for the ceremony.

The “moment” stretched into a full half–hour. Nolan had never waited this long for anyone before.

When Eliza finally emerged behind Mary, her eyes immediately landed on him–leaning lazily against a pillar, looking half–asleep.

quickly explained. “Prince Nolan is here to deliver some medical books. I had asked him to bring a few for me;

dura offered a casual excuse. “After morning prayers and blessings on the mountain, I have plenty of free time, I figured I might as something useful instead of sitting around.”

“Have you studied in before?” Mary asked,
