Chapter 66

“Holy Lady, it my fault for indulging my son too much, allowing him to become so reckless and immature. Please forgive me. From now on. I will be strict in my discipline and ensure that he never troubles you again.” Dale’s tone was earnest, tinged with remote

He was clearly well aware of just how much his wife and son had wronged Eliza.

Seeing Dale adopt such an attitude, even though Eliza despised Caleb, she chose not to press the matter further

After all, if she were to reflect ot, it, the one person in the entire Marquis’s Estate who had treated her the best was not Caleb, but rather Dale, someone who might seem distant and indifferent on the surface but was actually calm and reasonable in private

Eliza spoke. “Lord for you to feele

Mary thought about it for a moment. It was true; leaving aside the fact that the Stonor family had always been relentless toward Serenity, now they had Caleb to deal with as well.

“Reverend Mary Mendoza, there is no need for such courtesy. Protecting the Holy Lady is the duty of the Black Flag Besides, you are her mentor” Nolan’s lips curved slightly as he spoke as if it were a given.
