The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 592

From the lower end of the hall, Vance’s face darkened, his displeasure barely concealed. “Your Grace, what exactly do you mean by that? I fail to see how my grandmother’s arrangements have offended either of you in any way.”

“Vance!” Sariyah’s heart sank. She knew trouble was brewing the moment those words left his mouth.

Sure enough, Nolan sneered mockingly after Vance finished speaking. “Lady Sariyah, didn’t you say your family has been worshipping the Holy Lady’s portrait for years? Yet not one of you knows her other entity? Fine, the meal mistake can be excused. You’re old, and it’s natural to be forgetful. But your grandson, the proud heir of the Malone family, is there something wrong with him, too?”

Sariyah sighed and gave a helpless smile, her tone carrying a hint of deflection. “This is entirely my fault. I told Vance and the others about Your Grace’s status as the Holy Lady, but I didn’t mention that Your Grace had taken religious vows. As a result, this child spoke out of turn and offended Your Grace.

“Vance, apologize to the Holy Lady immediately.”

‘The Holy Lady is a nun?‘ Vance’s face immediately showed surprise upon hearing Sariyah’s explanation.

She was such a stunning beauty, and a Holy Lady of noble status. He had set his sights on her the moment he entered the room. He had even thought she would make a fine match for him. But now, to learn that this beauty had chosen a life of abstinence and devotion? It was beyond his expectations.

Was she a Christian priestess, or perhaps a Catholic nun?

If she were a Christian priestess, well, not all of them were entirely free of worldly desires.

And if she were a Catholic nun, heh, no woman had ever escaped my grasp.

A flicker of arrogance flashed in Vance’s eyes, though he kept his thoughts hidden. After his initial surprise, he quickly put on an expression of regret. “I didn’t know Your Grace had taken vows. I hope Your Grace can forgive me.”
