The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 517

17.Chapter 517

Eliza, slightly embarrassed by the praise, cleared her throat and asked, “But wasn’t the tracking parasite supposed to be hard to find? How did you capture it so quickly?”

Nolan replied, “It’s all thanks to the information you provided earlier. That leader of the other race, the one you put a spider on, indeed brought another group with him. They’re not many, but their sorcery is extremely powerful. One of them is even an elder. If these were the ones at the banquet, the royal family would have been caught in their trap long ago.”

The information Eliza provided had come from Gilbert.

She had made a deal with Gilbert, asking him to help investigate the cause of her mother’s death and gather evidence.

Unfortunately, Gilbert’s investigation had not gone smoothly.

Firstly, the case was too old. Secondly, the traces had been thoroughly erased.

So Eliza had given Gilbert a new mission.

That mission was to return to the other races as her eyes and provide her with information.

Eliza had initially worried that Gilbert wouldn’t be willing, but to her surprise, he had eagerly agreed.

“Because I was never a pure–blooded member of the other races, Gilbert had said. “My birth mother was captured by them, and my father, a scoundrel from their side, abandoned her after forcing himself on her. She became pregnant with me but died shortly after giving birth due to weakness.”

That’s when Gilbert was taken in by Zoie and raised as a puppet.

Given these experiences, Gilbert had no sense of belonging to the other races and even despised them, particularly resenting his own appearance that leaned toward their traits.

So when Eliza offered him the task of being her informant, he accepted without hesitation.

He even chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. Once I get back, watch how I uncover all their secrets.”

With his cursed appearance, he was more than eager to stab them in the back.
