Chapter 147
Nolan ate quickly. After he finished, he kept staring at Eliza eating. “Why don’t you eat any meat?”
After staring for a while, he noticed something was wrong. She only picked up vegetables.
She didn’t even eat a single piece of meat.
Nolan frowned and asked, “You don’t like the meat from this restaurant?”
Eliza shook her head and said with a smile, “Your Highness, how could you forget? I am a nun now, and nuns are all vegetarians.”
Because Eliza was not wearing her robes at the moment, Nolan did not immediately react.
After hearing her words, he was stunned for a moment, but then his brows furrowed even more tightly.
He thought, ‘She is already so thin and small. If she doesn’t eat meat, how can her body grow well?”
She asked, “Can’t you eat even a little?”
Eliza shook her head. “I can’t.”
Nolan coaxed her, “We’re not at Saint Grace Nunnery. You can eat some secretly.”
Eliza still shook her head. “No, I know we’re not at Saint Grace Nunnery, but I am devoted to ascetic practices. If I break the precept, I break my cultivation.”
Hearing this, Nolan could not persuade her any further.
Although he didn’t believe in this whole cultivation thing, seeing her determination, he was afraid that if he continued to persuade her, he would only make her unhappy.
However, Nolan, who was preoccupied with this matter, didn’t look very happy.
After a while, Eliza finally finished her meal.
Nolan handed her a clean handkerchief. “Wipe your mouth and go upstairs to play. I’ll come up and find you later.”
Eliza didn’t ask any more questions. “Okay.”
After all, she had already guessed what Nolan was going to do.
So without another word, she got up and walked upstairs.
Nolan instructed, “Ross, go protect the Holy Lady.”
Ross slammed the table, grabbed his broadsword, swaggered through the crowd, and escorted Eliza upstairs. “Yes, sir!”
Nolan didn’t withdraw his gaze until Eliza disappeared at the top of the stairs. He then swept his cold eyes over the rabble in the hall.
Some of them had already chickened out after recognizing Nolan.
One of the msaid, “Your Highness, we are just here for a meal. We didn’t do anything. Would you please let us go? We promise never to come again!”
Nolan took out his sword and sneered, “Now that you’re here, you want to leave? Why don’t you try and see if you can get out of this gate today?”
Those people’s faces turned pale immediately, and then said angrily, “Since you are determined to kill us all, don’t blame us for being rude! Let’s go together and kill them!”
More than thirty people jumped out of the hall in an instant, and they all showed their weapons.

Nolan only gave one order, “Surround them and don’t let anyone go.”
The Black Flag immediately took action and blocked all the exits. “Yes!”
In this fight, only Nolan made a move.
A quarter of an hour later, all that was left in the hall were corpses and a blood–soaked Nolan.
Of course, the blood on him didn’t belong to him. It all belonged to those on the ground.
None of them could even scratch Nolan’s skin.
If word got out, Nolan’s reputation would spread far and wide.
He said, “Clean this up, and send someone to find out where they came from.”
“Yes.”
After giving the order, Nolan went upstairs and called out to the waiter as he passed the stairs, “Bring two buckets of water up.”
JYe… Yes, coming right up! Coming right up, sir!”
The
guy
who was scared out of his wits ran back to the kitchen. “Ye… Yes, coming right up! Coming right up,
sir!”
Nolan went back upstairs. He was going to go back to his room to take a bath and change his clothes before coming back to see Eliza so as not to scare her.
But to his surprise, as soon as he reached the third floor, he saw Eliza sitting outside the door.
Nolan was immediately surprised, “Why are you sitting outside? Didn’t I tell you to go back to your room?”
She answered, “Of course, I’m waiting for you. Why is there so much blood on you? Are you hurt?”
Eliza looked up and saw him like this, and quickly got up and walked over, asking with concern.
Nolan’s lips curled up slightly. Seeing her worried about him, he wanted to show off a little. “It’s okay, it’s not mine. With their rabble, even if thirty more people came, they wouldn’t be able to hurt me at all.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a noisy voice suddenly sounded from the side, “Yes, my lord is indeed so powerful! I still remember that on the battlefield, he single–handedly killed hundreds of enemy troops. They were no match for him!”
Ross chattered incessantly and praised Nolan.
But when he finished, he found Nolan looking at him coldly.
He thought, ‘What’s wrong?
‘Did I say something wrong?”
Before Ross could react, Nolan kicked him directly. “Get out of here.”
Ross ran away quickly. Only Eliza and Nolan were left on the third floor.
Only Eliza and Nolan were left on the third floor.
Eliza, who felt that the atmosphere was not right, pursed her lips. “Since you are not injured, that’s good. You don’t need medicine.”
“Medicine?”
Only then did Nolan notice that Eliza seemed to be holding a small medicine bottle in her hand.
He thought, ‘So you were waiting outside with the medicine because you were afraid that I was hurt.
Nolan immediately changed his tune. “No, wait, I think I was ambushed downstairs, and I got hurt.”

Chapter 147
Eliza, who was about to go back to her room, was surprised. “Didn’t you just say you weren’t hurt?”
He even said that even thirty more men wouldn’t be able to hurt him.
Nolan coughed, covering his mouth with his fist. “I just forgot about it for a moment. I just remembered that it seems to be on my back, which is a bit inconvenient to apply medicine to…”
He suppressed his emotions and pretended to be calm. “How about… you help me take a look later?”
Eliza didn’t think much of it at all. She thought it was just a matter of applying some medicine, so she readily agreed. “Okay, then go back to your room and take a shower first. Be careful with the wound and come find me later.”
“Okay, then go back to your room and take a shower first. Be careful with the wound and come find me later.”
“Okay.”
Nolan, who could hardly restrain himself, hurried back to his room. “Okay.”
Eliza didn’t go back but continued to sit at the door and wait.
It was only a few minutes later when Nolan finished washing and secretly created a wound on his back.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Eliza looked up at the next room and saw a handsome man with slightly wet hair, long silver hair draped over his shoulders, walking out with a messy beauty. He almost made her stop breathing.
