The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 374

“Alright, I’ll pass the message along for you,” Diana said.

After Gabriel and his group left, Diana returned and repeated his words to Eliza

Eliza sneered coldly. “That sly old fox! He knows I won’t meet him willingly, so he’s using Benedict’s dying to drag me down the mountain”

By tonight, the news that the eldest son of the Stonor family is on his deathbed and wishes to see his sister one last time would be all over Hasen City

When that happened, no matter how many wrongs the Stonor family had committed, if Eliza, as his sister, refused to see him, the blame would fall squarely on her.

Once the rumors spread, she would lose the upper hand and be forced into a corner.

Like it or not, she had to go.

“Unbelievable! Gabriel is still scheming even now? Isn’t he afraid you’ll really refuse to go? What if Benedict actually dies because of it?”

Diana couldn’t understand it.

After all everything she knew was limited to what Eliza had experienced in this lifetime.

From Diana’s perspective, she couldn’t imagine Eliza being cold–hearted enough to stand by and watch Benedict die But Eliza had endured far more than Diana could ever comprehend

Honestly, if it weren’t for the estate Benedict held, she’d have no problem letting him die, especially at Sophie’s hands. What sweet irony–the venomous viper turning on its master

The thought brought her a twisted sense of satisfaction, though she kept these feelings to Diana.

The Baker family already burdened Diana enough; Eliza didn’t want to add to her worries.

To be honest, with Diana’s personality, neither Matthew nor the king would make a suitable match for her.

While there was still time, once she dealt with Benedict’s matter, she’d help Diana break off her engagement with Matthew.

The Stonor family, with Sophie in there, was nothing less than a death trap. Eliza had already lost her life there once, and she’d never let Diana walk into the same nightmare.

Eliza’s eyes lit up as a sudden thought struck her.

Having grown up in Hasen City, Diana was no stranger to the hidden agendas behind such arrangements. Especially now, with the passage of time and the changes in power, things were no longer as they once were.

She didn’t know how much the young king had changed over the years

Eliza understood what Diana was implying After a moment of thought, Eliza decided to be honest. “She’s not here to spy on me. Tina, or Shadow Seven as she was once known, was a top–ranked shadow quard for the royal family. She was sent to protect the after members of the Stonor family broke into Saint Grace Nunnery and injured me. You know as well as I do that, given my current status, I wouldn’t normally qualify for a shadow guard ranked in the top ten.”

After all, the top ten shadow guards were exclusively assigned to the king

Yet here stie was, with Shadow Seven by her si

What’s there for him to monitor? “Actually” she added, “Tina wasn’t exactly sent by the king. She was picked for me by the Prince Regent.” “Prince Regent?” Diana’s eyes widened in surprise. After a brief pause, she asked, “Do you insik

Eliza nodded without hesitation. “Definitely”
