The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 519

519.Chapter 519

Sarah’s words, saying the messenger collapsed outside, were a polite understatement.

In truth, the man had been gravely injured, and after handing Sarah the letter, he had taken his last breath.

When Sarah saw this, she realized something serious had happened.

She quickly took the letter and rushed from the Saint Grace Nunnery to Eliza.

Diana immediately grabbed the letter, and when she saw the seal of the Baker family, she didn’t care who was around her. She quickly tore open the envelope and read the letter.

“This… this is my father’s handwriting. Something happened to my father and grandfather,” Diana staggered, her hand shaking as she held the letter. She almost couldn’t keep her balance.

Eliza rushed to support her, asking, “What’s wrong? Weren’t they on their way to Hasen City?”

Diana’s eyes were fixed on the contents of the letter as she gritted her teeth. “I’ve just exposed the news that I was going to be made empress.”

Eliza instantly understood, her voice filled with dread. “So someone in Hasen City couldn’t wait any longer and sent people to kill Emmitt and the others?”

Diana’s eyes were red with rage as she nodded fiercely. “Yes. My grandfather and the others were already close to leaving Hasen City when they were ambushed. Now my father’s badly injured and unable to move, and someone needs to save him. But my grandfather… he’s missing, lost in the water. We don’t know where he is or what’s happened to him.”

Emmitt was already elderly, and the water was deep and cold. If he had managed to get to shore quickly, he might have been fine.

But if he hadn’t made it out of the water, how long could he possibly survive?

Diana’s voice trembled as she spoke, her grip tightening on the letter. “I’m going to gather people and rescue my father. I have to find my grandfather.”

“Wait,” Eliza said, quickly grabbing her arm. “Diana, you can’t leave Hasen City right now.”

“No! I have to go!” Diana’s panic was evident as she pleaded, “If I don’t, my father and grandfather will be in real danger!”

Eliza took both of Diana’s hands, pressing them firmly against her face. She looked into her eyes, her voice steady. “Diana, listen to me. If you leave now, Hubert and Emmitt will truly be in danger.”

With lightning speed, Eliza continued, analyzing the situation. “Think about it. The reason Hubert and Emmitt were attacked is because your plan to enter the palace as empress was leaked. They tried to stop it, but even if they killed Hubert and Emmitt, it wouldn’t change the imperial decree. The only way they can stop this now is by killing you.”

“But you’re here, under the protection of the Emperor’s feet, in the Saint Grace Nunnery. If you stay here and don’t leave the mountain, they can’t touch you. That’s why they attacked Hubert and Emmitt – to lure you out of the Saint Grace Nunnery and Hasen City.

“If you go out to save them, the assassins will show no mercy. You can’t go.”

After hearing Eliza’s words, Diana finally calmed down, albeit reluctantly.
