He strode over, scanning the room quickly before his gaze landed on Dylan, sprawled unconscious on the floor.

Judging by the horrified expressions of the nuns, Nolan immediately put the pieces together. “Did this Stonor brat break in and attack Serenity?”

Serenity was Eliza’s religious name. Ever since she told Nolan she was no longer Lady Eliza of the Stonor family, he had never called her that again.

Mary’s expression was ice–cold as she nodded. “Several nuns saw it happen. He barged into Saint Grace Nunnery, tried to kidnap the Holy Lady, and beat her senseless.”

“She’s unconscious, and we have no idea when she’ll wake up. If this delays the upcoming blessing ceremony for the country, who will take responsibility?

Prince Nolan, I expect a thorough investigation and proper punishment Otherwise, I won’t let this go.”

Mary may have been a nun, but that didn’t mean she had to accept injustice in silence. If she couldn’t protect the nuns in her care, she had no right to manage this nunnery.

“Yes” The Black Flag soldiers saluted and hauled Dylan away.

Nolan stood still for a moment, looking back at the shattered gates of Saint Grace Nunnery. His fingers brushed against the medical books tucked under his arm

It seemed he’d have to bring them to Eliza another time.

This time, Eliza remained unconscious for seven days and nights.

She forced her heavy eyelids open, but–darkness.

A terrible feeling crept over her. ‘Did I blind myself with my poison!” she thought.

Frustration bubbled up i inside her. She muttered under her breath, “Tim such.

Eliza exhaled slowly, relief washing over her. She was alive, and she hadn’t lost her sight. That was already the best outcome she could have hoped for.
