Soon after the imperial edict was issued, everyone in Hasen City knew that the Holy Lady of Walden would go to Plutonville to pray for rain in a day.
The city was abuzz with discussion. No matter what the powerful said, at least the common people sincerely prayed for Eliza.
They wished Eliza a safe journey.
After all, in their opinion, few officials were willing to go to the disaster area at this time, let alone a delicate woman.
But even so, the Holy Lady still stepped forward.
She was very brave, and it was is her kindness that drove her.
Only the Holy Lady, who truly cared about the people, would do such a thing.
At this moment, Eliza, who was truly kind–hearted, was sitting in the carriage with an unsightly expression on her pretty face.
Outside the carriage, Nolan rode his horse close to the window, his deep voice coming in from outside.
“Are you angry?” Nolan asked her.
Eliza subconsciously shook her head, but then she suddenly remembered Nolan couldn’t see her.
She said, “I wasn’t angry. It’s just that Isabelle is a former friend I haven’t spoken to in a long time.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Through their time together, Nolan had come to understand Eliza’s temperament.
If there hadn’t been something unforgivable between the two women, their relationship wouldn’t be this strained.
He thought back to the information he had gathered, and quickly landed on a particular event.
He said, “I heard you were pushed into the water half a year ago and almost drowned. Afterward, the Duke of Mowbay pressured the Minister of Secretariat in court and nearly got him removed from office. Could it be that Isabelle was the one who pushed you?”
Eliza hummed in confirmation.
At that time, Sophie had just arrived at the Duke’s estate. Her older brothers and father hadn’t changed much yet. Those who doted on her still doted on her, and those who loved her still loved her,
That was why her falling into the water had angered Gabriel so much.
Although Eliza didn’t ask Gabriel to punish Isabelle, suppressing Chancellor was definitely going to happen.Isabelle

Therefore, Isabelle’s life became much rougher than before.
Nolan’s face darkened upon hearing Eliza’s response.
He said, “To push someone into the water and attempt murder is quite daring.”

Eliza saw that he seemed angry but smiled and said, “It’s fine. If those things hadn’t been mentioned today, I’m afraid I would have forgotten about them long ago. Besides, that incident was a life for a life.

Eliza lowered her eyes and said, “She once saved me from drowning. Although her purpose was impure, she saved me. So, when she pushed me into the water again, I felt we were even”
“Didn’t you ever think about what would happen if you died?” Nolan asked, his voice tight and brows furrowed.
Nolan asked, his voice tight and brows furrowed.
Eliza smiled and said, “Why worry about what happens after death while still alive? If I die, I die. After all, if it weren’t for her saving me, I would have died long ago.”
“Since you understand this so well, why have you been unhappy since you left the Imperial Palace?” Nolan mercilessly exposed her pretense.
Eliza was a little embarrassed and said shyly, “I just don’t understand it.”
She couldn’t understand why, after all this time, Isabelle would still be involved in this matter.
She thought, ‘Did she really want to attack me again?
‘Or was it someone else who really wanted to attack me?’
When the second thought came to her mind, the first face that flashed through Eliza’s mind was Sophie’s.
