Soon after the imperial edict was issued, everyone in Hasen City knew that the Holy Lady of Walden would go to Plutonville to pray for rain in a day.

The city was abuzz with discussion. No matter what the powerful said, at least the common people sincerely prayed for Eliza.

They wished Eliza a safe journey.

After all, in their opinion, few officials were willing to go to the disaster area at this time, let alone a delicate woman.

But even so, the Holy Lady still stepped forward.

She was very brave, and it was is her kindness that drove her.

Only the Holy Lady, who truly cared about the people, would do such a thing.

At this moment, Eliza, who was truly kind–hearted, was sitting in the carriage with an unsightly expression on her pretty face.

Outside the carriage, Nolan rode his horse close to the window, his deep voice coming in from outside.

“Are you angry?” Nolan asked her.

Eliza subconsciously shook her head, but then she suddenly remembered Nolan couldn’t see her.

She said, “I wasn’t angry. It’s just that Isabelle is a former friend I haven’t spoken to in a long time.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Through their time together, Nolan had come to understand Eliza’s temperament.

If there hadn’t been something unforgivable between the two women, their relationship wouldn’t be this strained.

He thought back to the information he had gathered, and quickly landed on a particular event.

He said, “I heard you were pushed into the water half a year ago and almost drowned. Afterward, the Duke of Mowbay pressured the Minister of Secretariat in court and nearly got him removed from office. Could it be that Isabelle was the one who pushed you?”

Eliza hummed in confirmation.
