625.Chapter 625
At this moment, Eliza had no ides that tomorrow, she wouldn’t just be meeting the king and Dians.
Someone eler was waiting for her too
Peturning to Saint Grace Nunnery, Eliza was immediately surrounded by her senior sisters and aunts, all eager to check on her and show their care.
*It’s good to have you back Mary has been thinking about you nonstop these past few days. She even led us in several prayer ceremonies–some for the people of Woteria, and some just for you.”
Sarah leaned in close and whispered, “I bet Mary is still copying scriptures for you right now. You should go see her.” Eliza couldn’t help but smile. Without hesitation, she turned and hurried off to find Mary.
“Mary Mary!”
As soon as she reached the courtyard outside Mary’s quarters, Eliza couldn’t wait and called out twice.
Just as she reached the door and was about to push it open, it swung inward on its own.
“Serenity?” Standing behind the door was Mary, her face lighting up with joy as she looked at Eliza.
“Mary, I’m back.” Eliza smiled brightly,
But Mary’s eyes turned red, brimming with tears.
“You reckless girl! You always run straight into danger! You didn’t even think to tell me before heading off to Woteria. Do you know how worried I was? You… you’re going to be the death of me!”
Seeing Eliza still smiling, Mary gave her a light tap on the arm, more playful than angry. Eliza, of course, didn’t feel a thing.
She knew Mary was just pretending to be mad, her eyes betraying her worry and affection.
“Mary.” Eliza immediately stepped forward, clinging to Mary’s arm like a spoiled child.
Her voice turned sweet and playful as she coaxed, “Don’t be mad anymore. I’m back safe and sound–see? I’m perfectly fir
“And you still have the nerve to say it’s fine! Tina was always by your side to protect you, and I could at least feel reassure But this time, you went to Woteria and actually sent her away!”
Mary had initially only been mildly concerned when Diana mentioned that Eliza had gone to Woteria. It seemed manageat at first.
But who could have expected that the very next day, Tina would show up escorting Grandpa Lin back, as arranged by Eliz Mary was both shocked and terrified.
Tina, equally worried about Eliza, had immediately left Hasen City after delivering Grandpa Lin, heading straight to Woteri
to find her.
“You know full well how many people are watching you from the shadows, yet you still dare to take such risks. Honestly, you’ve got some nerve, girl!”
Mary had spent several nerve–wracking days worrying. Now that Eliza had returned safe and sound, she finally let out a sigh of relief. *****
But at the same time, she couldn’t help feeling furious.
She dragged Eliza back into the courtyard, inspecting her from head to toe while scolding her angrily.
Instead of being upset, Eliza grinned from ear to ear, soaking in the rare feeling of being fussed over. It was almost like s enjoyed the scolding.
But as she smiled, she began to feel a bit guilty. Rubbing her nose, she tried to explain, “Mary, don’t forget–I’ve got som skills too! You taught me poison techniques and insect control, didn’t you? It wasn’t *that* dangerous…”
