The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 576

576.Chapter 576

The air was filled with the harmonious sounds of prayers and chants

The snowy landscape stretched endlessly, with streaks of golden red light shimmering a hidden sun

The snowstorm continued unabated, and the sun remained hidden. Yet, everyone who attended the prayer ceremony felt an inexplicable sense of renewal afterward

It was as if the months of suffering and hardship had been swept away, leaving their bodies and minds refreshed, an though they had been reborn into a new life.

This miraculous sensation created an almost overnight bond of trust and reliance between the people and the Holy Lady, who had braved the snow to pray for them

“It’s her! The Holy Lady! It really is the Holy Lady someone exclaimed in awe

“I heard Her Grace felt the will of the heavens and chose to renounce worldly life to pray for the nation and its people. His Majesty, moved by her devotion, personally conferred upon her the title of Holy Lady of Walden, symbolizing blessings for Bortenland!”

“So, the Holy Lady really came to save us?”

“But why did she come so late?”

Where there were believers, there were also skeptics.

“Because of Lord Malone,” someone muttered.

“What does this have to do with Lord Malone? Honestly, I can’t believe such a good official like Lord Malone would ever harm people. It must be a lie!”

“But I heard the reason the Holy Lady and the others arrived so late was because Lord Malone covered up the disaster. The court didn’t even know about the snowstorm in Woteria until another province’s governor noticed the refugees and reported it. That’s when the truth came out!”

“That’s impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why would Lord Malone hide the disaster? He has no reason to do som “Exactly! It’s slander!”

“Right! Lord Malone is a good official!”

“Fine, believe what you want. By the way, I heard Her Grace will be praying for us again tomorrow at the city tower. Are you going to attend…”

“Yes, sure!”

Before the speaker could even finish, the doubters had changed their tune, their faces filled with anticipation.

Their doubts were directed at Prince Regent, not the Holy Lady. Since the Holy Lady was there to pray for them, of course, they would go!

By midday, Eliza and Nolan’s combined efforts had swayed half the people in Centrina City to their side.

As for the remaining half, while they still defended Jefferson, the Holy Lady’s prayer ceremony had tipped the scales in their hearts. Most of them were just too stubborn to admit it.

Nolan didn’t bother sparing another glance at those people.

Right then, he was at the governor’s mansion, watching Jefferson’s desperate attempts to claw his way out of the tightening noose.

“Nolan! I told you I’m innocent! There’s nothing here! You’ve seen it yourself, haven’t you? So why am I still being held?” Jefferson shouted.

Disheveled and pale, Jefferson glanced at the empty secret chamber. Relief washed over him like a fleeting breeze.

He thought, ‘Good thing I planned ahead. As long as those people and those things are out of reach, I still have a shot–still have a way to turn this around.’

‘There is no way Nolan can take me down that easily. Not a chance!

This is Woteria, my territory, the Malone family’s stronghold.

I’ve spent years laying the groundwork here. Does Nolan really think he can unravel it all so easily? Laughable!”

Of course, there were always unexpected variables.

How had that young sorcerer bypassed Rayden’s defenses and reached the underground chamber? Jefferson couldn’t figure it out, but one thing was clear: the pest had to be dealt with.
