589.Chapter 589
Eliza smiled. “I’m just a humble servant of God, hardly someone worthy of worship. Lady Sariyah, you must be joking” Sariyah’s smile remained steady. “How could I be joking? I truly have Your Grace’s portrait. If Your Grace doubts my sincerity, I can take you to see it now.”
Eliza narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile fading further. “That portrait must be a recent addition, no? I met Lady Louisa not long ago. If your family had truly been worshipping me, why didn’t Lady Louisa reconize me? And what about Lord Jefferson and Lord Solomon? Shall I continue?”
Eliza didn’t hold back, exposing Sariyah’s lie without hesitation.
‘Trying to drag me into this mess? Keep dreaming! Eliza’s cold gaze swept over Sariyah
Sariyah’s warm smile faltered for a moment before she sighed. “Ah, forget it. Since Your Grace doesn’t believe me, I won’t press the matter. It’s getting late, so please, Your Grace and Your Highness, come into the city and rest. I’ll make the necessary arrangements for you both.”
Who would’ve thought the Holy Lady of Walden would be this sharp?
She assumed Eliza would be easy to manipulate, but clearly, she had underestimated Eliza.
Then again, Eliza was the legitimate daughter of the Duke’s estate. To leave her noble home and still rise as the Emperor’s personally appointed Holy Lady, she was no ordinary woman.
In that case, she would need to rethink how to deal with these two.
With a calm expression, Sariyah invited Eliza and Nolan into the city, but her mind was already scheming.
While she was scheming, Eliza was also on guard–not just against her, but against the entire Malone City.
“Vexara, are there any parasites nearby?”
“Yes.”
Eliza casually sent the question to Vexara through her thoughts, not expecting to hear a response. The fact that it replied surprised her even more than the confirmation of parasites in the area.
“Wait, Vexara, you can talk now?”
“A little.” Vexara responded again.
