She didn’t react until Magnus said the next words, “The prayer ceremony is unnecessary, but the governor of Plutonville heard that the Bortenland had the first Holy Lady, so he submitted a request, hoping that the Holy Lady of Walden could go to Plutonville to preside over the rain prayer ceremony, pray for the people, and pray to heaven for rain.”
“The rain prayer ceremony doesn’t have to be held in Plutonville, does it?” Nolan frowned before Eliza could speak.
Nolan frowned before Eliza could speak.
It was not that Bortenland had not experienced years of drought before, and rain prayer ceremonies had been held several times, but they were all held in Hasen City.
reassure
Magnus sighed, “It is to reassure the people.”
The drought in Plutonville this year has lasted for three months. Even though the imperial court had been providing continuous support and food, the prolonged drought would eventually drive people crazy.
And at this time, a rain prayer ceremony was needed to reassure the people and at least give them some hope.
So the Holy Lady of Walden, who suddenly appeared at this time, immediately became the first choice of the governor of Plutonville.
An unprecedented rain prayer ceremony presided over by the first Holy Lady of Bortenland in Plutonville to pray for all people would surely appease the anxiety of the people of Plutonville.
After understanding the reason, Eliza nodded without hesitation.
She said, “Your Majesty, you need not say more. It is my duty as the Holy Lady to pray for the country and the people. After all, I am the Holy Lady of Walden, personally appointed by Your Majesty.”
In any case, since she had accepted this title and identity, she should do what she should do.
Perhaps there was some kind of scheme involved, but even if there was, she had to go.
Nolan, who was standing by, did not speak again.
This rain–seeking ceremony was about the people of Plutonville. Whether or not it could bring rain to Plutonville, its significance was very important.
Therefore Nolan had no reason to stop it, eEspecially since Eliza had readily agreed.
Magnus did not expect Eliza to agree so readily, but it was precisely because of her attitude that he favored her even more.
He said, “Good. As expected of Aunt Caroline’s daughter, and worthy of the title of Holy Lady bestowed upon you by myself.”
Magnus walked to the desk and began to write the imperial edict. As he wrote, he said, “Don’t worry, I will have Uncle Nolan escort you to the rain praying ceremony this time.”
Eliza was surprised. “But Your Highness, the Prince Regent has a lot of political affairs to attend to. Wouldn’t it be too much of a delay for him to escort me to Plutonville, which is so far away?”
“No, I must escort you on this trip.” Nolan’s tone was firm.
Nolan’s tone was firm.
Magnus also nodded. “Plutonville is suffering from a disaster, and the people are struggling. There will be refugees and

villains, and the danger is self–evident. I would not be at ease if Uncle Nolan did not personally escort you, so you don’t have to worry
Hearing Magnus’s words, Eliza stopped refusing.
But his next words made Eliza raise her eyebrows in surprise. “By the way, do you know the Fletcher family’s illegitimate daughter?”
Eliza paused, then nodded. “I did know Isabelle Fletcher,”
She didn’t know why Magnus would suddenly mention that person.
But it probably wasn’t a good thing to bring her up now.
As she had expected, after Magnus finished writing the imperial edict, he looked up and smiled at her. “Speaking of which, the governor of Plutonville is actually a distant relative of the Fletcher family.”
With just this one reminder, Eliza understood what he meant.
Her face suddenly darkened.
It seemed that the journey to Plutonville would not be peaceful.
No wonder Magnus insisted that Nolan escort her.
