442.Chapter 442
Diana stared at her in disbelief. “What did you
do?
Isabelle smirked, her voice dripping with smugness. I thought the great Miss Baker was always in the know. After all, Eliza s first big moment as the Holy Lady and the rain prayer trip to Plutonville were all arranged by me.”
Diana’s face twisted with fury. “So it really was you behind that mess!
“Isabelle, how dare you admit to that? Do you even care that you nearly got Eliza killed?”
Back then, Eliza had brushed off the assassination attempts in Plutonville when talking to Diana, but Diana’s sharp instincts told her something wasn’t right. After pressing for details, she learned that Eliza had faced multiple assassination attempts on her way to Plutonville. If not for the Prince Regent’s protection, Eliza might not have made it back alive, let alone gained any fame.
“Big risks bring big rewards, Isabelle sneered. “If Eliza had stayed just a nominal Holy Lady, Sophie would’ve crushed her sooner or later. Only by proving herself as a true Holy Lady, recognized by the people of Bortenland, could she secure her position and protect herself.” “Do you even understand?”
Diana glared and spat, her disgust clear. “Don’t even try to act like you care. You nearly drowned Eliza once, and now you pull this stunt? How can you claim to have her best interests at heart?
“Let’s not forget, Eliza survived because she’s smart and lucky. The dangers she faced in Plutonville could’ve easily cost her life. Your so–called arrangements weren’t for her benefit,they were a deliberate attempt to get her killed! Isabelle let out a mocking laugh. “Does it matter how it happened? Look at her now, a true Holy Lady, thanks to me. And Sophie? She’s been put in her place, too scared to make a move against Eliza anymore.”
Diana’s voice turned icy. “Enough with the chatter. I’ve had the misfortune of falling into your hands today, Isabelle. If you’re going to kill me, do it now. But mark my words, if I survive, I’ll come for you. Every grudge, old and new, will be settled!” “For once, we agree on something. So, Diana, you can die in peace.” Isabelle’s gaze was cold and unfeeling as she waved her hand.
The masked men behind her surged forward, weapons drawn, aiming for Diana.
But Diana wasn’t one to stand idly by, even in the face of death.
Despite the pain, Diana clenched her whip and struck the first masked man without a second thought. Ignoring the pain coursing through her body, she clenched her whip and lashed out fiercely, her movements sharp and unyielding as she struck the first masked attacker.
“If I’m going down today; I’m taking every last one of you with me!” Diana’s voice rang out, fierce and unyielding. Diana’s whip, crafted with precision and power, lashed out with deadly accuracy. Fueled by sheer determination, she managed to take down a few attackers in mere moments.
A cold, sharp glint flashed in Isabelle’s eyes. “Pathetic fools! All of you, attack her together!”
