Ross, who was behind him, stepped forward and pulled out the broadsword he had used earlier to deflect the flying dagger. "Your Highness, why didn't we just take down those shadow guards? They looked so weak. I doubt any of them could stand a chance against us," Ross said smugly.

Nolan cast him a faint glance. That look of disdain immediately shut Ross up.

'Alright, he's probably thinking I'm all brawn and no brains again, Don't think I can't tell.' Ross thought to himself, letting out a small grunt of annoyance.

Nolan didn't bother lecturing him further. Instead, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

It seemed Serenity's plan was progressing well. Dylan, the second son of the Stonor family, had likely severed ties with his father completely. Perhaps, he even did something else. Otherwise, Gabriel wouldn't have sent shadow guards to test the waters.

With this in mind, Nolan, feeling a hint of concern, immediately gave orders, "Send more people to keep an eye on the Duke's estate. Also, monitor anyone sneaking in or out of Saint Grace Nunnery." "Understood, Your Highness!" Ross replied confidently. He had handled such tasks countless times before. This was no big deal. "Then, Your Highness, are we heading back now?" Ross asked.

Nolan replied coolly, "No, you head back. I'm going to Saint Grace Nunnery. It's been days since I last saw Serenity. I need to check on her." Ross's lips twitched at Nolan's words. He knew it! Two hours later, Nolan arrived at the entrance of Eliza's courtyard, beating Dylan to it. He had planned to cearly to spend more tchatting with Serenity, but... Well, it seemed Serenity was quite the busy bee these days.

Aside from eating, sleeping, her morning lessons, and daily prayers, she spent nearly all her ttending to the herbs in her medicinal garden. For a moment, Nolan couldn't help but feel a little neglected, a faint sense of grievance bubbling up in his heart. And when he saw Eliza returning with Dylan, that feeling only deepened.

What was the use of him coming so early? "Serenity, you're back?" Nolan greeted her warmly, his voice gentle and betraying none of his earlier discontent. "Your Highness? What brings you here today?" Eliza, who hadn't seen Nolan in several days, instinctively asked. For a brief moment, Nolan felt as though he might have cat the wrong time. His smile froze slightly.

Fortunately, Eliza quickly realized that she shouldn't say that. She added with a playful smile, "It's been a while since we last met. Your timing today is impeccable. Did you hear I brought back swild herbs and cover for a free meal, Your Highness?" She teased him.

Dylan was taken aback when he witnessed the changce of Nolan's expression. He never imagined that words like "bright smile" could one day be used to describe Nolan. Nolan's smile was bright.

Hearing Eliza's words, all of Nolan's earlier grievances and frustrations vanished in an instant. "Well, that sounds perfect. Since you've got the ingredients, why don't I show off my cooking skills today? Letprepare something for you to try, Serenity," Nolan offered with a grin.

Dylan was completely floored by what he just heard. 'Wait, hold up! What's going on here? The Prince Regent is actually going to cook at his sister's place?' For a moment, Dylan couldn't wrap his head around it. He quickly turned to look at his sister.

To his surprise, Eliza gave a calm nod and said, "Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Your Highness." Nolan chuckled and took the basket of wild produce from her hands. “Take a break. I'll handle the ingredients." He meant those fresh ingredients. He seemed natural as he carried the ingredients into Eliza's small kitchen.

Eliza turned and sat down in the courtyard, as composed as ever. Dylan stood off to the side, looking a bit uneasy, sneaking glances toward the small kitchen every now and then.

"Serenity, are you seriously letting the Prince Regent cook? Isn't that kind of... inappropriate?" he asked hesitantly. But before he could finish, he turned to see Eliza's calm and composed expression.

"What's inappropriate about it?" she replied lig Successfully unlocked! rice and said evenly, "This is Saint Grace Nunnery, a sanctuary, and I'm a nun. I don't bother with worldly ferna In the past, Eliza might have cared about something like this. After all, the idea of a dignified Prince Regent personally cooking was something no one in the royal court would even dare to imagine.

But after traveling together through Plutonville and Noganlul, she and Nolan had been through enough that things like 1/2 294 Chapter 294 status stopped mattering. Their relationship had grown more natural. They got along quite well. They seemed equal.

Dylan's face turned red at her blunt reply, and he instantly regretted saying anything.

Eliza didn't say anything more. She simply gave him a calm look. "Didn't you say you had something to talk to veabout? If you've got something to say, just say it. Or are you planning to wait for dinner first?" Dinner? Not happening.

If it were just his sister here, Dylan wouldn't mind cooking himself. But this meal was made by Nolan. His sister could eat it because she was the Holy Lady. As fox him? No way.

With that thought, Dylan quickly shifted to the main topic. "Serenity, I met Malaki a few days ago. He toldabout how Father turned a blind eye to the Padilla family's troubles back then." Dylan hesitated, then looked at Eliza. "Was that why you were so determined to leave the Duke's estate?" "No," Eliza replied flatly. Her face was expressionless as she said, "I left because I wanted to. It had nothing to do with the Padilla family."

Dylan couldn't help but hold onto a shred of hope. Maybe his sister hadn't completely given up on them back then? if he could fix the issues between their father and the Padilla family, would she change her attitude toward them? But her answer dashed his hopes. Dylan pressed his lips together, swallowing the bitterness in his heart, and continued, “Alright. Anyway, after talking to Malaki, I went back to Father's study and found a ledger." Subscribed
