Eliza created a little space for Rudie to move around in the pendant realm, complete with some food, water, and even a few wooden toys.
Rudie was obedient, spending his time eating, sleeping, and occasionally playing with the toys. He never once asked Eliza what this place was.
Since the space was divided by a partition and there was some resistance, Eliza wan’t worried that Rudie would discover any of her other secrets.
After settling Rudie and Emmitt, Eliza stepped out of the pendant space.
As she reappeared in the room, she had a bottle of diluted the magical water in her hand, with added herbs to speed up healing.
This was, of course, for Hubert.
Now, she only needed to wait for Hubert to recover a little more so that he could get out of bed and travel. Once that happened, they could head back to Hasen City.
But at the moment, she still wasn’t sure what was going on in Hasen City.

Inside the palace, Diana stood anxiously by a corner, waiting for a long time before she finally saw someone approaching.
As soon as she recognized the person, she hurriedly called out, “Prince Regent, I’m here!”
Nolan turned and saw Diana, walking over to her.
“Did you send someone to summon me here?” he asked.
Diana nodded, her voice urgent. “You must have already heard that this morning in the court, the Henderson family and Duke’s estate people are conspiring to impeach Liza for leaving Hasen City without permission, trying to remove her from the position of Holy Lady. All this is because of me, and I’ve caused her trouble. So, I beg you to take this to Vollult Town for Liza. After she reads it, she will know what to do.”
Diana took a royal decree from her sleeve.
When Nolan saw the royal decree, he seemed to understand something. He narrowed his eyes and spoke with a dangerous tone, “You want her to go to Woteria? Do you know what the situation is like there?”
Diana replied, “I know, but because I know, I asked His Highness for this decree. If she returns to Hasen City, she will only be hunted down by those people, and the impeachment will never end. But if her departure from Hasen City is for ‘disaster relief by royal decree, we can help Liza turn the tables in Hasen City. If we succeed, she will no longer be bound by Hasen City and will regain her freedom.”
Upon hearing this, Nolan’s expression shifted. “It seems you’re quite invested in her.”
Even while dealing with the Henderson family and Duke’s estate, Diana had already thought of these things for Serenity.
A trip to Woteria would certainly be dangerous.
But what Diana said wasn’t without merit.
Plus, with Serenity’s character, once she learned of this, even if no one impeached her, she would still choose to go without hesitation.
Perhaps it would be better to arrange everything for her in Hasen City first.
Diana smiled, and with a raised eyebrow, she said, “Of course, Liza and I grew up together. The bond we share is unmatched by anyone.”
Nolan said nothing.
Suddenly, Diana felt the tension in the air as Nolan’s expression turned icy.
He took the decree from Diana’s hands without a word, and with a smile, said, “I’ll leave tonight to fetch her. If you can’t hold up in the next few days, you can always come to the Prince Regent’s estate for help. Don’t worry, my deputy will assist you.”
Diana scoffed at his words, and as she turned away, she muttered to herself, “Better to go to the Empress Dowager and the King and ask for more disaster relief supplies than waste time with you.”
As Diana left to seek the Empress Dowager an and Malaki.

At this point, Eliza still had no idea that Nolan was on his way to find her.
This was true, but Hubert misinterpreted it as Eliza already having sent Emmitt back to Hasen City.
This was exactly what Eliza had intended.
As she brought Hubert some medicine, she added, “Emmitt’s injuries are severe, and I’m not capable of treating him right now. But if we hurry, with the Holy Doctor and my master in Hasen City, Emmitt will be fine.”
Eliza had been using the magical water to cleanse Emmitt’s body and internal organs, even using century–old herbs to keep him alive. After a few days, even the worst injuries could be stabilized long enough to get him to Hasen City.
So, Eliza wasn’t worried about Emmitt; once they reached Hasen City, Tina would take Emmitt directly to Saint Grace Nunnery,
After making sure everything was arranged and explained, Eliza was confident that the secret of her pendant space would be kept hidden.
What truly worried her was tomorrow.
Over the past few days, she had learned that two groups of people were after Emmitt and Hubert.
One group was led by the foreigner Korneel, and the other seemed to be from the local government.
Eliza knew that corruption in the government was widespread, but she hadn’t expected people from Hasen City to be involved in the search.
If it weren’t for Eliza and Luke holding down the fort at Healing Hall, the place would have been searched countless times by now.
But because of their interference, it was clear the authorities had focused their attention on them.
Their primary goal was to capture Hubert and Emmitt, but the secondary goal was simple: revenge for their county lord’s
son.
