The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 488

“Your Grace, if you could stand up for justice on behalf of the Marquis’s estate this time, we will forever stand behind you and serve you with unwavering loyalty,” Dale said.

No one had expected that after Caleb’s incident at the Duke’s estate, Dale would not head to the Duke’s estate upon receiving the news. Instead, he immediately made his way to Mount Westin. In front of Saint Grace Nunnery, he called out loudly, asking Eliza to intercede on behalf of the Marquis’s estate.

A moment later, Eliza stood at the entrance of Saint Grace Nunnery. On the steps above, she looked down with an indifferent expression.

“Your Grace, greetings.” Dale bowed respectfully.

Eliza spoke calmly, “Dale, Saint Grace Nunnery is a place of tranquility. Please be mindful of your words and actions, and avoid making a commotion here.”

“Your Grace, I apologize. I acted out of desperation just now, and I will come up the mountain again another day to offer my sincere apologies to everyone,” Dale said, aware that his earlier behavior had been inappropriate.

Eliza could tell he was sincere in his apology, so she let it go.

“Lord Dale, what is the matter that caused you to raise such a disturbance? Speak now,” Eliza said. To her surprise, Dale knelt down directly below her.

“Your Grace, the Duke’s estate has gone too far. My son is of noble birth, yet he has been repeatedly schemed against and assaulted by people from the Duke’s estate, resulting in repeated disabilities. The previous entanglements were partly his fault, and I won’t dwell on them. But today, Caleb merely accompanied Sophie on a visit, yet he was once again bullied by the Duke’s estate, leading to severe injuries and further disability,” explained Dale.

But Eliza hadn’t expected that while Sophie would return unscathed from the Duke’s estate, Caleb, who had accompanied her, would end up in trouble there. It had even escalated to the point where Dale had come to Saint Grace Nunnery to ask her to intervene.

Eliza looked down at Dale, who was kneeling below, and after narrowing her eyes slightly, she said indifferently, “This is a family matter between you and the Duke’s estate. I have no right to interfere.”

Regardless of whether Dale’s words were true or false, Eliza had no intention of getting involved.

In fact, she was quite pleased to see either the Duke’s estate or the Marquis’s estate suffer, especially since the two families had already fallen out. She hoped the conflict would grow larger.

When the Marquis’s estate and the Duke’s estate were no longer in cahoots, those in the court who had originally supported Gabriel would inevitably split into two factions.
