The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 488

“Your Grace, if you could stand up for justice on behalf of the Marquis’s estate this time, we will forever stand behind you and serve you with unwavering loyalty,” Dale said.

No one had expected that after Caleb’s incident at the Duke’s estate, Dale would not head to the Duke’s estate upon receiving the news. Instead, he immediately made his way to Mount Westin. In front of Saint Grace Nunnery, he called out loudly, asking Eliza to intercede on behalf of the Marquis’s estate.

A moment later, Eliza stood at the entrance of Saint Grace Nunnery. On the steps above, she looked down with an indifferent expression.

“Your Grace, greetings.” Dale bowed respectfully.

Eliza spoke calmly, “Dale, Saint Grace Nunnery is a place of tranquility. Please be mindful of your words and actions, and avoid making a commotion here.”

“Your Grace, I apologize. I acted out of desperation just now, and I will come up the mountain again another day to offer my sincere apologies to everyone,” Dale said, aware that his earlier behavior had been inappropriate.

Eliza could tell he was sincere in his apology, so she let it go.

“Lord Dale, what is the matter that caused you to raise such a disturbance? Speak now,” Eliza said. To her surprise, Dale knelt down directly below her.

“Your Grace, the Duke’s estate has gone too far. My son is of noble birth, yet he has been repeatedly schemed against and assaulted by people from the Duke’s estate, resulting in repeated disabilities. The previous entanglements were partly his fault, and I won’t dwell on them. But today, Caleb merely accompanied Sophie on a visit, yet he was once again bullied by the Duke’s estate, leading to severe injuries and further disability,” explained Dale.

“Your Grace, the actions of the Duke’s estate are truly detestable. I do not wish to involve His Majesty or His Highness. I simply ask that you step in and preside over this matter, to ensure justice is served,” Dale pleaded.

his meant that the issue should not be escalated to involve the king or the Prince Regent. However, Dale was not willing to let the Duke’s estate off easily, which was why he needed Eliza to intervene.

Dale did not expect Eliza to take sides; he only needed her to preside over the matter fairly and justly. With her involvement, Dale would be able to force the Duke’s estate to pay the price and apologize to his son.

Eliza naturally knew that today was Sophie’s day to visit. She had also anticipated that something would go wrong at the Duke’s estate, especially since Sophie was supposed to steal the account book from Gabriel’s study for her.

But Eliza hadn’t expected that while Sophie would return unscathed from the Duke’s estate, Caleb, who had accompanied her, would end up in trouble there. It had even escalated to the point where Dale had come to Saint Grace Nunnery to ask her to intervene.

‘Could this be some kind of diversionary tactic by Sophie? Or are they trying to set a trap for me?‘ she wondered.

Eliza looked down at Dale, who was kneeling below, and after narrowing her eyes slightly, she said indifferently, “This is a family matter between you and the Duke’s estate. I have no right to interfere.”
