The Lady Nun Vows Revenge

Eliza shook her head and said, "No need. Just tell Prince Regent the location, and he'll dispatch troops to capture them."

"Huh? You're letting him do it?" Rafe's eyes widened suddenly, clearly unwilling.

Rafe thought bitterly, "After all, I'm the one who found them. If I hand them over to Nolan, wouldn't that be doing all the work and letting him reap the benefits?"

Across from him, Nolan's knowing smile deepened.

Rafe gritted his teeth when he saw that, still unwilling to yield. "Eliza, since I'm the one who found them, please let me do it. If you're busy, lend me a few men. I swear, none of them will get away!"

Eliza shot him a sidelong glance. "You want to go? Fire. I originally planned to take you to the Marquis's estate, but since you insist—”

Before Eliza could finish, Rafe hastily cut in, changing his tune. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Never mind, never mind. I suddenly think it's better to stay by your side. Otherwise, I can't feel at ease."

Nolan didn't argue with him. 'After all, this is serious business personally entrusted to me by Serenity,' he thought. 'If I don't deal with those people, Serenity's safety will be at risk.'

Eliza had Rafe investigate none other than those very same foreign sorcerers who had once entered Bortenland, found Sophie, and brought her back

from the dead.noveldrama

After learning that Sophie's mother was a foreign sorcerer, Eliza had already been on guard against the mysterious faction behind Sophie.

From controlled Gilbert and the others, to Nonus and his gang later on, every one of them was bizarre and sinister, wielding dark sorcery beyond the reach of ordinary people.

They could have taken Sophie away long ago if their sole purpose was her.

But they didn't.

The Sophie.

They even stationed agents in Hasen City to continue protecting Sophie.

At that time, Eliza had a vague feeling that these people's motives weren't as simple as they appeared.

'The fact that they're protecting Sophie means she must be important to them,' Eliza thought, 'and their insistence on staying in Hasen City to protect Sophie suggests a greater agenda. One that likely requires using her as a pawn to achieve it.'

Eliza hadn't been able to piece it together before, but now, seeing the situation at the Marquis's estate, she suddenly had a hunch.

As Eliza was lost in thought, Vexara fluttered its wings on her head.

Eliza snapped out of her thoughts and told Rafe, “Cut the chatter. First thing tomorrow, put this on and come with me to the Marquis's estate."

Then, she handed Rafe a white fox mask.

She said, "Your face stands out too much. Cover it up so you don't get spotted by people from the Duke's estate."

Rafe immediately grabbed it and took a quick look, grinning cheekily. "Eliza, you know me so well. How did you know I'd love a white fox?"

As he said this, he flashed Nolan a triumphant look, as if to say, "See? I've got something you don't."

Nolan was speechless.

Before he could think further, Eliza said, flatly, "I didn't know. Just grabbed it from

a street vendor. If you like them, there are two more over there. Well,

now they're all gone."

Immediately after Eliza pointed in that direction, Nolan swiftly snatched up the remaining white wolf and cat masks.

Rafe, who was just a second too slow, snapped, "Hey! You're not even going to Marquis's estate tomorrow. Why did you have to snatch two!

Triumphant with both masks, Nolan slipped on the white wolf one and twirled the white cat mask in his hand.

He said, “I just love wearing two. It's none of your

business."

Eliza was speechless, thinking, 'Here they are again.”

za, look at him!"
