Eliza couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, then I’ll trouble you to pass along my thanks to His Highness.”
After Ross left, Eliza quickly returned to her small courtyard with the letter and token in hand.
“Who sent you the letter? And why do you look so… off?” Diana asked curiously as she poured Eliza another cup of coffee
“It’s from His Highness, the Prince Regent. Eliza recounted the entire incident to Diana.
Diana’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Wait, are you serious? Why does it feel like he is being unusual… attentive to you? Isn’t he supposed to hate women? I swear I’ve heard that somewhere.
Eliza thought for a moment before replying, “Maybe it’s because we’re friends.”
“Friends?” Diana looked skeptical
Eliza gave a vague explanation. “I helped him with a few things before, so our relationship naturally improved, and now we re friends.”
“That’s it?”
“What else could it be? Do you really think someone as powerful as the Prince Regent, second only to the king, would have anything to do with a little nun like me?” Eliza shot her a calm, composed look.
Diana frowned, scratching her head in confusion.
No matter how she thought about it, something still felt off.
But Eliza’s explanation seemed perfectly reasonable.
In the end, Diana couldn’t figure out what exactly was bothering her..
Diana soon found herself too busy to dwell on these thoughts.
Eliza, having already seen through Gabriel’s schemes, acted swiftly. She sent Tina to contact Padilla, instructing him to spread the word before the Stonor family could make their move.
“By the king’s grace, Holy Lady has received a Snow Lotus! To share this blessing with everyone in the new year, the fifty worshippers to light candles at Saint Grace Nunnery tomorrow morning will receive a bowl of Snow Lotus beauty soup,
first
lovingly prepared by Holy Lady herself.”
The moment this news broke, nobody cared about the Stonor family trying to spread rumors about Benedict being on his deathbed and wanting to see Eliza. It was completely drowned out!
The noble ladies and young misses of Hasen City, especially those who regularly visited Saint Grace Nunnery to light candles, were absolutely thrilled
“Snow Lotus! It’s really Snow Lotus!”
“And it’s the one gifted by the king! No way it’s fake?”
“If the Snow Lotus is real, then the beauty soup must be real too, right?”
“Of course it’s real! But the best part? Holy Lady personally made the Snow Lotus beauty soup!”
“Oh my goodness, if I drink a bowl, do you think I could look as stunning as Holy Lady?”
“Hal Keep dreaming! With your looks, even ten bowls wouldn’t make a difference!
Nowadays, quite a few ladies in Hasen City were devoted supporters of Eliza.
Even those who once misunderstood Eliza have completely changed their minds after witnessing her actions in Plutonville and Noganlul
Scheming, narrow–minded, and consumed by jealousy? Seriously?
If Eliza were truly that malicious, would she have gone to disaster stricken areas to pray for rain or to plaque–ridden regions to offer blessings?
The proof of her sincerity was written in the faces of those she’d saved in Plutonville and Noganlul.
They practically worshiped her as a celestial being sent to save them all.
Clearly, Holy Lady was misunderstood in the past! She’s not this kind of person with a malicious heart! Jealous? A proper heiress like her- who would she envy? Jealour Successfully unlocked!ghter? Please, as it?
Back then, they were blinded by rumors and colunk

Calling Eliza narrow–minded and jealous? That was clearly the illegitigate daughter projecting her own flaws–spreading rumors, ostracizing the rightful daughter

Sophie even manipulated the foolish men of the Stonor family into bullying Eliza, driving her away. And even after Eliza became the Holy Lady, Sophie continued to scheme against her at every turn!
Sophie was the truly malicious onel
Once the ladies of Hasen City learned the truth, their previous disdain for Eliza instantly transformed into overwhelming sympathy and admiration
As soon as Eliza’s news spread, the next morning, even before dawn, the area outside Saint Grace Nunnery was already packed with people
Camages clogged the streets, with no place to park.
The crowd was overwhelming–forget fifty people, there were hundreds crammed together, and more kept arriving. Five hundred? That might even be an understatement.
The usually composed and graceful ladies had completely abandoned their dignity. All for a bowl of soup, they were now shoving and shouting like it was a free–for–all
“Move! Everyone, get out of my way!”
“I was here first! No one is allowed to take my spot!”
“Ridiculous!! was the first one here!”
“Oh! Who knocked off my hairpin?”
“Step aside! Make way for my lady!”
The scene outside Saint Grace Nunnery was nothing short of chaos.
By the time Gabriel arrived with his men in a hurry, forget stopping Eliza–he couldn’t even get close to the entrance!
