296.Chapter 296 After Mary finished her morning training, she instructed Eliza to go to Kash Howell on the city's east side for a special set of needles. "He'll know what to make if you tell him you're from Saint Grace Nunnery," she said. "You'll need them to learn the Meridian Revival Technique." "Alright, Eliza replied.
After a quick lunch, Eliza and Renee descended the mountain, catching a ride on a villager's ox cart. Their journey to Hasen City took over four hours.
Upon arriving in the city, Eliza and Renee headed east to Kash's shop. Instead of a typical blacksmith's forge, the shop showcased intricate rubies and emerald pieces, with surprisingly few iron tools on display.
Upon entering, Eliza's gaze fell immediately upon Kash. He was, after all, the shop's sole occupant. "Excuse me," Renee inquired, "are you Mr. Howell?" At the sound of his name, Kash, who had been dozing, stood up. "Yes, that's me. Can I help you?" he asked. Noticing Eliza's black habit, he paused, surprised. "Wait, could this young Reverend be from Saint Grace Nunnery?" A veil covered Eliza's face, so Kash didn't recognize her, though he recognized the attire.

"Oh, well, you've cto have something done?" Kash wasn't a stranger to the nuns from Saint Grace Nunnery, but the ones he usually worked with were older. The young nun before him today was young, clearly new to this.
"My Reverend sentto commission a set of needles. Would it be convenient for you, Mr. Howell?" Eliza asked. "Absolutely! It's a simple task," Kash replied, confidently thumping his chest. "Cback in three days, and it'll be ready for you," "Thank you," Eliza thanked him and departed with Renee.
Eliza glanced at the sky. "We have tfor a walk, Renee. Would you like to join me?" she asked. They were close to her Oriphoenix Building. Eliza hadn't been inside yet and wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity.
Renee's eyes lit up with excitement. "Of course, Your Grace! Let's go," she replied.
Eliza sighed and shook her head. "Please don't callthat in public. It only leads to these awkward situations." "What? The Holy Lady?" "Did someone say something about the Holy lady?" "Where is she? Is the Holy Lady in the city today?" "I must see the Holy Lady! Perhaps she will bless me!* Eliza had anticipated the growing excitement of the gathering crowd and quickly pulled Renee into a nearby alley to avoid being caught. Once the crowd dispersed, Eliza smiled and gently tapped Renee's nose. "See? We're safe. Just be more careful next time, okay?" "Okay." Eliza's comforting words quickly lifted Renee's spirits.
They soon reached the Oriphoenix Building, a shop specializing in women's clothing and jewelry. It had three floors: the first for ready-made clothes and accessories, the second for custom dresses, and the third for bespoke jewelry. A group suddenly approached from behind as Eliza led Renee toward the entrance. The girl at the front rudely shoved past Eliza, forcing her aside.
"Even nuns think they can play dress-up," the girl in the yellow dress sneered, glancing back at Eliza with disdain. "Too bad they don't bother to check a mirror before shopping. Do you honestly think you're good enough to buy anything here?" "How dare you speak about her like that!" Renee snapped, stepping before Eliza to glare at the other girl.
"How dare you interrupt me?" the girl snapped at Renee. "Nanny, slap her!" she yelled.
"I'll take care of her right now!" the nanny snapped, shoving up her sleeves and raising her hand to hit Renee. Eliza's voice was ice cold. "Renee, fight back," she ordered.

The sharp sound of the slap reverberated at th Successfully unlocked!uilding, leaving both stunned as the blow landed squarely on the nanny's face.
"You useless scoundrels! How dare you? Do you have a death wish?" The girl glared, her voice thick with disdain. "Do you even recognize who I am? I am the Chancellor's eldest daughter, young mistress of the esteemed Henderson family! If you value your lives, apologize to my nanny this instant!" 206 Chapter 296 Eliza instantly recognized her. When Isabelle was bullied in the Henderson family, Eliza defended her numerous times, leading to encounters with Jacqueline. Though years had passed, Jacqueline's spoiled and unpleasant demeanor remained unchanged.
Jacqueline hadn't recognized Eliza yet. Over time, the magical water's daily blessings had subtly transformed Eliza's voice, appearance, and demeanor
Jacqueline harbored a deep dislike for nuns since learning Eliza had joined Saint Grace Nunnery om Therefore, when she spotted a nun in a flowing black habit, she didn't hesitate to shove her aside. Unbeknownst to Jacqueline, the nun she'd shoved was none other than Eliza, the woman she loathed most. Eliza's voice was calm and steady. "Apologize? She doesn't deserve it."
Jacqueline laughed sharply, her mockery evident. "You're just a nun, yet you speak with such baldness! It's no surprise Eliza chose this life over being a noblewoman. Because of her, you all think you're above everyone else. "Fine! Refuse to apologize, and you can forget about buying anything here. I'll make sure no one sells to you!" Eliza arched an eyebrow, her tone steady. "The last I heard, the Oriphoenix Building didn't belong to the Henderson family. Are you managing their affairs now?"
Jacqueline sneered, her disdain clear.
"A nun who knows so much.
Impressive. But it makes no om difference. The Oriphoenix. Building may not belong to the Henderson family, but does anyone here dare defy me? "Even if you're unimportant, the staff here know better than offending someone in the Oriphoenix Building.* Subscribed 1 Likes 297 Chapter 297 297.Chapter 297
