The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 476

476.Chapter 476

Since she wasn’t sure about the toxicity and effects of the pill yet, Eliza spent the entire day and night studying the pill along with the centipede. After a full day and night of research, she finally confirmed something surprising. The pill’s toxicity and effects were almost identical to those of Sophie’s poisonous flowers.

Although Eliza had given all three of the poisonous flowers to Sophie, she hadn’t left empty–handed.

Eliza had taken a stem, a leaf, and a flower from the three plants. Her actions were so subtle that Sophie wouldn’t notice anything missing from her flowers. Even if Sophie did notice, she wouldn’t suspect Eliza.

After all, if Eliza had really wanted to steal them, she could have just kept one of the plants instead of returning all three to Sophie.

When Eliza prepared to study the poisonous pill herself, she remembered the stem, leaf, and flower she had taken from the flowers. Since both were found in the Duke’s estate, her intuition told her that there might be some connection between

the two.

She studied the flowers and the pill together and made an important discovery. The chronic toxicity could control the mind, affect the spirit, and even influence desires.

The main ingredient of the poisonous pill was precisely the type of toxic flower that Sophie had. And what shocked Eliza even more was the discovery that Sophie’s toxic flowers were very likely Bloodshade Blossoms–the very same Bloodshade Blossoms from her own medicinal field.

‘Lawrence and I both thought that Bloodshade Blossoms had become extinct outside. Yet, here they are, not only in Sophie‘ s possession but also cultivated and turned into poisonous plants, she thought to herself.

This revelation sent a jolt through Eliza. If this were true, then Sophie’s actions could potentially disrupt Eliza’s original planı for cultivating medicinal herbs.

Among the plants Eliza had been growing, Bloodshade Blossom was supposed to be her secret weapon. It was precisely because she had this ace up her sleeve that she hadn’t been overly concerned about the Duke’s estate starting to grow medicinal herbs as well.
