Chapter 159
“Oh my.”
“It’s raining.”
“It’s really raining.”
“The disaster is over.”
“Father, Mother, did you see? The disaster is over.”
The people inside and outside Plutonville were almost beside themselves with excitement, rushing out into the rain.
They stood there, drenched, savoring the downpour they had long awaited for three whole months.
“It’s the Holy Lady’s doing.”
“Yes, the Holy Lady of Walden brought us this rain.”
“The Holy Lady of Walden is so kind.”
“She is the Holy Lady appointed by His Majesty, the one who prays for the country and the people. She is our Holy Lady.”
That day, Eliza had no idea that every person in Plutonville was thanking the Holy Lady of Walden in that very rain. Everyone truly wanted to follow her, the first Holy Lady of Bortenland, with all their heart.

Seven days later, Eliza and the others finally returned to Hasen City.
“What should we do with her?” Before entering the city, Nolan pointed to the unconscious Sophie.
Eliza thought for a moment. “Leave her to me.“”
“Can you keep an eye on her? Gilbert will definitely come after you again,” Nolan said.
On their way back to Hasen City, Gilbert had not appeared again. It seemed that due to his serious injuries, the assassins still alive behind Sophie were forced to stay hidden, and no one had attempted to assassinate Eliza since.
“It’s fine. With Tina around, he won’t be able to do anything.” Eliza smiled, knowing what Nolan was worried about. “Don’t worry. He may be skilled with poison and controlling insects, but I know someone who is even better with poison.
“Now that they’re back) I’m actually safer.”
If Gilbert dared to show his face again, Eliza wouldn’t give him any chance to escape. She wouldn’t spare the man who had tortured her in the past in this time travel. However, for now, she hadn’t killed anyone yet.
A smile appeared on Eliza’s face, and a dangerous gleam flashed in her eyes. ‘Perfect, let’s start with Sophie’s biggest card,‘ she thought.
Once Gilbert was dead,/Eliza could kill Sophie without hesitation.
Having already arranged her plan for murder, Eliza boarded the carriage again and instructed Tina to take Sophie away first.
Afterward, Eliza and Nolan returned to the kingdom to report to the king. After receiving their rewards, they took the carriage back, swaying all the way.
“Serenity, you are back.” When Eliza returned to Saint Grace Nunnery, Mary quickly ran out, her face filled with concern as she enveloped Eliza in a tight embrace.
“Serenity, were you alright? Did you get hurt? Were you wronged? Did anyone dare bully you?” Mary asked, worry etched in her voice.

Eliza had not expected that, after only a little over half a month apart, Mary would miss her so much.
Eliza awkwardly accepted the flood of care from Mary, then reached out to return the hug. “Mary, don’t worry. I’m fine. Nothing happened to me, no injuries, no wrongs, and no one dared bully me.”
‘Hey, with that mighty Prince Regent around, who would dare bully me? Besides, I have Tina by my side,‘ Eliza’thought. ‘I’m not afraid at all‘
“That’s good to hear. I knew you were coming back today, so I made a big pot of nourishing soup for you. Come on, let’s go inside and have some,” Mary said, holding Eliza’s hand tightly and not willing to let go for a moment.
Sarah, laughing from behind them, added, “Serenity, you have no idea. Since you went to Plutonville, Mary has been talking about you every day, so worried about you.”
In the past, Mary had always had a stern expression, speaking seriously, completely different from the person she was now.
