The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 294

294.Chapter 294

After Dylan packed his belongings and money pouch and quickly left the woods, Nolan walked out leisurely. Ross, who was behind him, stepped forward and pulled out the broadsword he had used earlier to deflect the flying dagger. “Your Highness, why didn’t we just take down those shadow guards? They looked so weak. I doubt any of them could stand a chance against us,” Ross said smugly.

Nolan cast him a faint glance. That look of disdain immediately shut Ross up.

‘Alright, he’s probably thinking I’m all brawn and no brains again, Don’t think I can’t tell.‘ Ross thought to himself, letting out a small grunt of annoyance.

Nolan didn’t bother lecturing him further. Instead, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

It seemed Serenity’s plan was progressing well. Dylan, the second son of the Stonor family, had likely severed ties with his father completely. Perhaps, he even did something else. Otherwise, Gabriel wouldn’t have sent shadow guards to test the waters.

With this in mind, Nolan, feeling a hint of concern, immediately gave orders, “Send more people to keep an eye on the Duke‘ s estate. Also, monitor anyone sneaking in or out of Saint Grace Nunnery.”

“Understood, Your Highness!” Ross replied confidently. He had handled such tasks countless times before. This was no big deal. “Then, Your Highness, are we heading back now?” Ross asked.

Nolan replied coolly, “No, you head back. I’m going to Saint Grace Nunnery. It’s been days since I last saw Serenity. I need to check on her.”

Ross’s lips twitched at Nolan’s words. He knew it!

Two hours later, Nolan arrived at the entrance of Eliza’s courtyard, beating Dylan to it. He had planned to come early to spend more time chatting with Serenity, but… Well, it seemed Serenity was quite the busy bee these days.

Aside from eating, sleeping, her morning lessons, and daily prayers, she spent nearly all her time tending to the herbs in her medicinal garden. For a moment, Nolan couldn’t help but feel a little neglected, a faint sense of grievance bubbling up in his heart. And when he saw Eliza returning with Dylan, that feeling only deepened.

What was the use of him coming so early?

“Serenity, you’re back?” Nolan greeted her warmly, his voice gentle and betraying none of his earlier discontent.

“Your Highness? What brings you here today?” Eliza, who hadn’t seen Nolan in several days, instinctively asked. For a brief moment, Nolan felt as though he might have come at the wrong time. His smile froze slightly.

Fortunately, Eliza quickly realized that she shouldn’t say that. She added with a playful smile, “It’s been a while since we last met. Your timing today is impeccable. Did you hear I brought back some wild herbs and came over for a free meal, Your Highness?” She teased him.

Dylan was taken aback when he witnessed the changce of Nolan’s expression. He never imagined that words like “bright smile” could one day be used to describe Nolan. Nolan’s smile was bright.

Hearing Eliza’s words, all of Nolan’s earlier grievances and frustrations vanished in an instant. “Well, that sounds perfect. Since you’ve got the ingredients, why don’t I show off my cooking skills today? Let me prepare something for you to try, Serenity,” Nolan offered with a grin.
