The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 388

A dying camel was still bigger than a horse.

Eliza knew it was impossible to defeat the mighty Duke’s estate with these few worms.

But then, she thought, “Well, maybe not entirely impossible, but the cost would be enormous, like the engagement between the Stonor family and the Baker family

She knew if someone accused people of Duke’s estate of colluding with foreign forces, Gabriel would do everything possible to clear their names, and the easiest way to do that was to drag more people down with them.
