Chapter 151 “Sir, looks like even you can’t resist a pretty face. But hey, since there are two ladies, why not keep them both alive? How about we split them? You take one, and leave one for us.” Deemer smirked as he spoke. His tone was sleazy, dripping with innuendo, every word oozing with shameless … Read More “Than Your Daughter 151” »
Chapter 150 Eliza turned and looked down at Sophie, who was lying on the ground, her face frozen in shock, eyes wide with disbelief. Slowly, Eliza said, “I believe it was Gilbert Stuart.” The moment Sophie heard the name, she let out a muffled, furious scream. But her mouth had been tightly gagged by Eliza, … Read More “Than Your Daughter 150” »
Chapter 149 Even before the time travel, Eliza had known Sophie had people backing her. Sophie’s mother had left her with quite a few supporters, some skilled in poison, some trained to kill. Back then, Eliza had suffered terribly at the hands of these very people. And now Sophie was sending them out so soon. … Read More “Than Your Daughter 149” »
Chapter 148 Eliza had always known how handsome the Prince Regent was. What she had not expected was just how dangerously charming he could be. She felt that if she stared at him any longer, she might actually fall for him. Quickly averting her gaze, she spoke with a bit of unease.“Your Highness, your hair … Read More “Than Your Daughter 148” »
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 … Read More “Than Your Daughter 147” »
Chapter 146 After the innkeeper opened the door, he went in and checked the room carefully before putting down her things. He said, “Go downstairs to eat after you are ready.” “All right.” Eliza nodded obediently. “All right.” After he went out, turned right, and entered his room, Eliza closed the door and began to unpack. After a while, Nolan knocked on the door. “Serenity, are you all unpacked?” “Serenity, are you all unpacked?” He was obviously urging her to go downstairs for dinner. Eliza, who had just made the bed, felt speechless. Compared to the Prince Regent, who often went out to fight in the army, she was indeed a little slow. Eliza opened the door and walked out. “Coming. Let’s go. I can smell the food from downstairs all the way up here. It seems like it’s ready.” She was actually quite hungry at the moment. Nolan smiled. “I forgot to tell you, there are some snacks in the box on the carriage. You can eat some if you are hungry. Eliza had been in the carriage all day and hadn’t noticed this. The carriage wasn’t hers, after all. It wouldn’t be appropriate to rummage through someone else’s carriage without their permission. When she reached the first floor, Eliza suddenly noticed that Nolan’s aura had become stern. She looked up and realized that several groups of guests had arrived at the post house, filling several tables in the lobby. Eliza seemed to sense something, and her eyes narrowed slightly as she became alert. Nolan’s deep voice rang softly in her ear. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” His breath brushed against her ear, making Eliza freeze. For some reason, she subconsciously held her breath and let out a soft acknowledgment. “My Lord, Miss Stonor, come and sit over here, we’ve been waiting for you two!” Ross beckoned to the two of them. “My Lord, Miss Stonor, come and sit over here, we’ve been waiting for you two!” Nolan walked beside Eliza, leading her through the hall, and quickly reached the three tables near the door where the Black Flag soldiers were seated. Ross immediately moved his b.. over from the end of the table, “My Lord, you wouldn’t believe it, the food cooked by the cook at this post station is quite delicious, so fragrant that we almost drooled.” Ross kept hinting at them fo Nolan glanced at him speechlessly. “Just say you want to start eating. Hurry up and eat.” Ross and the others immediately started as if they had been released, pointing at the food on the two tables and picking it up. Eliza stared at the shocking scene, her eyes wide with astonishment. Fortunately, she and Nolan shared a separate table, so they didn’t have to rush. Otherwise, she really doubted whether she could even grab a single bite before from Ross and the others finished the food. Nolan said, “Eat quickly, or they might come after our table when they’re done.” Eliza shivered. “Isn’t… isn’t the food on those two tables enough for them?” Nolan smiled at her. “You think so? Ross and the others train a lot and have big appetites. One of them can eat the portions of three people.” So those two tables of food might not actually be enough for them. Thinking of this, Eliza immediately sped up her eating. It wasn’t that she didn’t want them to eat, but she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to grab anything if she was slow. In fact, Nolan was just trying to scare her. With him sitting here, no one would dare to be presumptuous. This was also directed at the other tables in the hall. With his iconic silver hair, everyone Bortenland would recognize him. He was the Prince Regent, second only to the Emperor, and a god of war who had never lost a battle.
Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Because Eliza didn’t want to be disturbed, Nolan directly ordered people to stop anyone who wanted to find her from approaching. Eliza sat in the carriage, hearing sounds from time to time. It seemed that Grant and the inexplicable Caleb had come. But what Eliza didn’t know was that there was another person who came to see her off, Isabelle. 91%1 Looking at the carriages and army that were getting further and further away, Isabelle stood behind a tree with her maid, her eyes fixed on the distance. Isabelle laughed at herself. “Eliza, you should have forgotten me long ago, right? But how could you have forgotten me? “You once said that we would be the best of friends in the future, but unfortunately, in your heart, I will never compare to Diana.” Isabelle muttered to herself, not even caring that her hand was bleeding from gripping the bark of the tree. She just looked in the direction of Eliza’s departure. “Go to Plutonville and be your Holy Lady. When you come back, you will remember me again.” After saying these words, Isabelle turned and left. +63) The carriage traveled further and further away from Hasen City, and no one followed. The convoy also gradually picked up speed. Nolan said, “Serenity, if you are tired, you can sleep for a while. We will arrive at the next stop before dark, and I will wake you up then.” “Okay.” Hearing Nolan’s voice, Eliza immediately responded, “Okay.” She wasn’t sleepy at the moment. Because of the sip of the magical water from the small stream in the pocket farm this morning, Eliza was now very energetic. It was not convenient to enter the pocket farm in the carriage, so Eliza took out the medical books and poison scriptures to read. In the bundle that Mary gave her, in addition to the new medical books and poison scriptures, there were also some bottles of medicine. Some were for treating illnesses, healing wounds, and repelling insects, and some were love potions, muscle relaxants, and even anti–aphrodisiacs. She thought, ‘What on earth does Mary think I will encounter that would require the use of this anti–aphrodisiac?!‘ Eliza had a bit of a headache looking at them. She quickly put away the medicines, put two bottles in her bag, and threw the rest into her pocket farm. 1/2 09:48 Wed, 16 Apr Chapter 145 After that, Eliza studied diligently in the carriage. Except for getting off the carriage to have a meal at noon, the rest of the time was basically spent on the road. When it was almost dark, the carriage and the army finally arrived at the first stop. It was a post station by the road. སཾཛཱ,91%ཟླ The post station wasn’t large, so only twenty Black Flag soldiers could stay behind to guard it. The rest of the escort, along with the supplies and carriages, were resting in a small grove about a mile away. Nolan asked, “Mister, are there any rooms available for the night?” The innkeeper hurried out to greet them. “Yes, sirs, we have rooms. I’ll get them ready for you right away? Seeing Nolan’s attire, the waiter immediately knew that these were important military men. “Good. Reserve two of your best rooms for my employers. You can make arrangements for the rest of us. And bring us three tables of your finest food and drink. No need for wine.” Ross Langstaff tossed over some money. The innkeeper’s face lit up as he caught them. “Yes sir, right away!” Eliza and Nolan each took one of the two luxury rooms. Nolan carried Eliza’s bundle for her, not letting go even after they reached the door of her room.
Chapter 144 On the way back, Eliza lay on Tina’s back, gently hugging her. They both tacitly did not talk about the secret just now, One person confided a secret, while the other kept it for her. When they returned to Saint Grace Nunnery, it was indeed already dawn. Eliza simply didn’t go back to sleep. She drank a sip of the magical water from the pocket farm, refreshed herself, and then, before Dylan came, she called Tina again. Because she planned to entrust Tina with something. “Tina, you should have met the shadow guards around the Duke of Mowbay before, right? What do you think? Can you handle them?” “Tina, you should have met the shadow guards around the Duke of Mowbay before, right? What do you think? Can you handle them?” Tina nodded. “Yes.” “Good. One day after His Highness and I leave in the carriage, I need you to go to the Duke’s estate and kidnap someone for me.” “Okay.” Tina didn’t even ask who it was before she nodded in agreement. Eliza smiled. “You’ve seen her many times. It’s Sophie. She should be lying in bed recovering from her injuries, unable to move. Bring her to me without anyone knowing.” “Serenity, rest assured.” Not long after Eliza gave the task to Tina, Nolan arrived with a thousand Black Flag soldiers. There was not only the carriage Eliza was riding in, but also some supplies that needed to be escorted. He said, “Let’s go. It’s time to depart.” As she was about to walk out of the Saint Grace Nunnery, Mary caught up with her. “Serenity, take this and this, and wear them with you at all times.” “Serenity, take this and this, and wear them well.” Mary gave Eliza a bundle and a wooden peace charm she had carved herself. Eliza took the things and gave Mary a gentle hug. “Mary, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” “Okay… Be careful. I’ll be waiting for you to come back.” Mary’s eyes were slightly red as she held Eliza’s hand tightly, refusing to let go. Mary’s eyes were slightly red as she held Eliza’s hand tightly, refusing to let go. It was as if she was sending her child away from home for the first time, full of worry and reluctance. “Alright, Mary, I have to go.” Eliza gave her another helpless hug before turning to leave and boarding the carriage. 1/3 09:48 Wed, 16 Apr Chapter 144 Eliza gave her another helpless hug before turning to leave and boarding the carriage. A person said, “Serenity, come back soon! You must be careful out there!” Another said, “Stay close to His Highness, and don’t wander off alone!” Someone else said, “No matter what happens, remember to come back!” The Reverend and other people of Saint Grace Nunnery came out to see Eliza off, 91% They waved goodbye to the departing carriage and kept calling out to Eliza, who poked her head out of the window, until the carriage gradually disappeared from sight. The long procession went down the mountain. Just as Eliza was sitting in the carriage looking at the peace charm, a distant cry came from behind. “Eliza, Eliza…” “Eliza… Eliza…” Eliza recognized the voice. She didn’t want to pay attention at first, but just then, the moving carriage suddenly stopped. Eliza lifted the curtain by the carriage window and asked, “What’s wrong?” Sitting upright on the horse, Dylan looked ahead and said calmly, “Someone is stopping the carriage. “Who?” As Eliza wondered, a horse’s hoofbeat approached rapidly. “Who?” Benedict pulled the horse to a stop several feet away from Eliza’s carriage and said anxiously, “Eliza, Plutonville is too dangerous now. Don’t go. I’ll ask Father for you. As long as Father speaks, he can ask His Majesty for special mercy!” The worry on Benedict’s face was not feigned. He was really worried about Eliza. But he also really underestimated Eliza’s determination every time. She said, “Please say no more. This trip to Plutonville is my own choice, and no one can sway me.” Benedict had never understood her, neither then nor now. “Eliza! Are you out of your mind? That place is so dangerous. Why do you insist on going? Just like when I tried to persuade you before, you wouldn’t listen, you wouldn’t come home, you wouldn’t turn back! … Read More “Than Your Daughter 144” »
Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Besides her, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would take this opportunity to deal with her. In addition, Isabelle was involved. Eliza lowered her eyes slightly, a gloomy look flashing across them. After returning, Mary hurried over to see her, her usually stern face full of worry. Mary hurried over to see her, her usually stern face full of worry. She said, “Serenity, why do you have to go to Plutonville? Didn’t the previous rain praying ceremonies all take place in Hasen City?” Mary also raised the same question as Nolan. 92% +63 Eliza smiled and took Mary’s hand. “His Majesty has explained that this time, the drought in Plutonville is severe. Going to Plutonville is also for the sake of reassuring the people. But Mary, don’t worry, His Majesty has specially appointed Prince Regent to personally lead the army to escort me, so there will be no danger along the way.” Eliza only chose to speak on the surface. She didn’t tell Mary that this rain praying ceremony might actually be a trap someone had set for her. She had to go to the rain praying ceremony. But those who wanted to use this to harm her would not succeed. After comforting Mary, Eliza returned to her courtyard and immediately entered the pocket farm to start preparing. Eliza didn’t emerge from the pocket farm until she was certain that everything was in order. However, when she saw the herbs in the medicinal garden in the courtyard, Eliza thought of something and put all the herbs into the pocket farm. It was a pity that the herbs planted in the medicine field at the back of the mountain were planted late and could not be harvested yet. But it was not like there weren’t any ready–made ones. Eliza changed into a low–key dress and disguised herself before calling for Tina, asking her to take her down the mountain. under the cover of night to Hasen City. After scouring all the pharmacies in Hasen City and having everything transported outside the city, Eliza stared at Tina for a moment, as if she had made some important decision in her heart. “Tina, turn around,” Eliza said suddenly. Tina obeyed her order and turned around. A moment later, she heard Serenity call her again, “Alright, Tina, you can turn around now.” Tina obediently turned back around, but in the next second, her pupils shrank, and her eyes widened. Even though her face was covered with a mask, it couldn’t hide her astonishment. Tina looked at the empty space beside Eliza and thought, ‘Where were all the medicinal herbs that were here just now? 1/2 09:48 Wed, 16 Apr (7 Chapter 143 Where were all the medicinal herbs that were here just now? 92%1 +63) ‘So many medicinal herbs were piled up almost like a hill, but now they are all gone! She merely turned around, without making a single sound, yet the massive pile of medicinal herbs had vanished into thin air. Tina suddenly realized something and looked up at Serenity, who appeared calm on the surface. However, based on certain subtle cues, it was clear that Serenity was paying close attention to her reaction. It seemed that Serenity was harboring a significant secret. But she hadn’t expected Serenity to reveal this secret to her now. She thought, ‘Did Serenity already believe me worthy of trust, making it unnecessary to keep it hidden?‘ The corners of Tina’s mouth, usually hidden beneath her mask, couldn’t help but curve into a smile. Serenity spoke, but didn’t elaborate. Tina saw, but didn’t need to ask. Tina saw, but didn’t need to ask. Tina only asked Eliza this when she spoke again, “It’s almost dawn, shall we go back?”
Chapter 142 92% Soon after the imperial edict was issued, everyone in Hasen City knew that the Holy Lady of Walden would go to Plutonville to pray for rain in a day. The city was abuzz with discussion. No matter what the powerful said, at least the common people sincerely prayed for Eliza. They wished Eliza a safe journey. After all, in their opinion, few officials were willing to go to the disaster area at this time, let alone a delicate woman. But even so, the Holy Lady still stepped forward. She was very brave, and it was is her kindness that drove her. Only the Holy Lady, who truly cared about the people, would do such a thing. At this moment, Eliza, who was truly kind–hearted, was sitting in the carriage with an unsightly expression on her pretty face. Outside the carriage, Nolan rode his horse close to the window, his deep voice coming in from outside. “Are you angry?” Nolan asked her. Eliza subconsciously shook her head, but then she suddenly remembered Nolan couldn’t see her. She said, “I wasn’t angry. It’s just that Isabelle is a former friend I haven’t spoken to in a long time.” “Really?” “Yes.” Through their time together, Nolan had come to understand Eliza’s temperament. If there hadn’t been something unforgivable between the two women, their relationship wouldn’t be this strained. He thought back to the information he had gathered, and quickly landed on a particular event. He said, “I heard you were pushed into the water half a year ago and almost drowned. Afterward, the Duke of Mowbay pressured the Minister of Secretariat in court and nearly got him removed from office. Could it be that Isabelle was the one who pushed you?” Eliza hummed in confirmation. At that time, Sophie had just arrived at the Duke’s estate. Her older brothers and father hadn’t changed much yet. Those who doted on her still doted on her, and those who loved her still loved her, That was why her falling into the water had angered Gabriel so much. Although Eliza didn’t ask Gabriel to punish Isabelle, suppressing Chancellor was definitely going to happen.Isabelle Flectcher Therefore, Isabelle’s life became much rougher than before. Nolan’s face darkened upon hearing Eliza’s response. He said, “To push someone into the water and attempt murder is quite daring.” 1/2 09:48 Wed, 16 Apr Chapter 142 Eliza saw that he seemed angry but smiled and said, “It’s fine. If those things hadn’t been mentioned today, I’m afraid I would have forgotten about them long ago. Besides, that incident was a life for a life. 92% Eliza lowered her eyes and said, “She once saved me from drowning. Although her purpose was impure, she saved me. So, when she pushed me into the water again, I felt we were even” “Didn’t you ever think about what would happen if you died?” Nolan asked, his voice tight and brows furrowed. Nolan asked, his voice tight and brows furrowed. Eliza smiled and said, “Why worry about what happens after death while still alive? If I die, I die. After all, if it weren’t for her saving me, I would have died long ago.” “Since you understand this so well, why have you been unhappy since you left the Imperial Palace?” Nolan mercilessly exposed her pretense. Eliza was a little embarrassed and said shyly, “I just don’t understand it.” She couldn’t understand why, after all this time, Isabelle would still be involved in this matter. She thought, ‘Did she really want to attack me again? ‘Or was it someone else who really wanted to attack me?’ When the second thought came to her mind, the first face that flashed through Eliza’s mind was Sophie’s.
