“Serenity.”

Before Eliza could get close, Nolan instinctively stepped toward her. His gaze landed on the towering figure beside her, and with a raised brow, he asked, “Is this one of your finds from Fort County?”

Eliza smiled and replied, “You could say that. He used to serve Korneel, a foreign king. His strength is terrifying, but his mind is quite childlike. Korneel controlled him with a parasite, but after I removed decided to keep him around.”

“Rudie, greet His Highness.”

Rudie tilted his head and, with a booming voice and a goofy grin, said, “Okay! Hi, Your Highness! Hi, Sister! Hi, Rudie!”

Completely oblivious to proper etiquette, Rudie could only repeat the word “great.” Seeing this, Eliza thought to herself, ‘I’ll need to teach Rudie some manners later. Can’t have him embarrassing himself in front of the king‘

The moment Nolan heard Rudie speak, he instantly understood what Eliza meant by “childlike.”

“You plan to keep him by your side?” Nolan asked.

“Yes. What do you think, Your Highness?” Eliza felt a bit uneasy about bringing Rudie into the palace, given his ties to Korneel.

To her surprise, Nolan nodded without hesitation. “Of course.”

“Eliza, you’re the Holy Lady of Bortenland. It’s only right for you to have more people protecting you. Honestly, you’re too modest–just keeping Shadow Seven around. If it were anyone else, they would’ve already asked the king for several squads of guards.”

Ever since Eliza became the Holy Lady, she’d been unwavering in her duties. Back in Hasen City, she copied scriptures every single day.

And every time she left the city, she headed straight to disaster–stricken areas–offering aid, praying for blessings, and helping the people.

She’d poured her heart into this. For someone who grew up as a pampered young lady in the Duke’s estate, Eliza had done more than most so–called ‘officials‘ could ever dream of.

Take the Malones, for example–the magistrate and the governor. They were nothing but parasites, preying on the people and draining them dry.

Compared to them, Eliza was truly remarkable.
