541.Chapter 541
Eliza’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the royal decree in Nolan’s hand.
decrée She furrowed her brow, her eyes narrowing as she guessed, “This decrée… is about me?”
Nolan nodded. “Yes.”
Upon hearing Nolan’s confirmation, Eliza let out a sigh of relief.
A royal decree was issued, which meant the matter was set in stone.
A bad news that couldn’t be changed. Since it was about her, she no longer needed to rush.
Eliza calmly said, “Then tell me about Diana first. What’s happened to her?”
Could it be that the people in Hasen City couldn’t hold back and dared to harm Diana there?
Nolan said, “The news of Diana being chosen as the queen has already spread throughout Hasen City. At the same time, Raisa has been selected as well. Seven days from now, during Diana’s coronation, Raisa will enter the palace as a concubine.”
“Raisa?” Eliza paused, realizing that this was Isabelle’s current identity.
She hadn’t understood why the Henderson family had changed Isabelle’s identity and brought her back.
But now, hearing this news, everything clicked into place.
It seemed the Henderson family had long planned for Isabelle to enter the palace, and their aim was likely the Queen’s position. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone so far as to elevate Isabelle’s illegitimate status to legitimate.
But they probably hadn’t expected that the King and the Empress Dowager had already chosen Diana.
So the mastermind behind all of this was undoubtedly the Henderson family.
“What exactly has the Henderson family done? With the Empress Dowager and the King’s thoughts, they wouldn’t have allowed Isabelle, or rather, Raisa, to enter the palace at this time alongside Diana.”
Unlike Emmitt and Hubert, Fletcher was a powerful Secretary in the court.
His influence was second only to Gabriel and Dale.
So even if the Empress Dowager and the King wanted to select a new consort, they wouldn’t allow a woman with such a powerful family backing to enter the palace before the Queen’s position was solidified.
Eliza didn’t understand, and Nolan shook his head as well.
“I only learned about this just before we set off, so the details are still unclear.”
Nolan tried to comfort her, saying, “But there’s no need for you to worry too much.”
He smiled at her, seemingly thinking of something, and added, “I think the King actually cares about Diana quite a bit.”
“Hmm?”
Eliza raised an eyebrow, surprised. “What makes you say that?”
Nolan raised an eyebrow and said, “You might not know, but the King was behind Diana breaking off her engagement with Matthew, and he was the one who first proposed her as Queen.”
In other words, the young Emperor had chosen Diana to be his future Queen while she was still engaged to Matthew, without hesitation.
Eliza couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
The King’s actions were no different from a bandit trying to steal a bride.
Now that Eliza understood the King’s true motives regarding Diana, she felt some relief.
Even if Isabelle entered the palace, and the Henderson family tried to play their tricks, Diana wouldn’t be without support. Unfortunately, Eliza had already killed the county magistrate from Fort County.
Otherwise, she could have kept him alive, brought him back, and interrogated him. If she could find evidence that the Henderson family had instructed him to chase down Hubert and Emmitt, it could turn the tables for the Baker family in Hasen City.
But it was fine.
Successfully unlocked!
They would soon be back in Hasen City, and or.de there, with her, Emmett, and Hubert by her side, the Henderson tamily would have to think twice before trying to target Diana.
But as it turned out, Eliza had celebrated too soon.
The next bad news hit her like a ton of bricks, dragging her mood straight into the depths.

Though Time didn’t want to leave Eliza, she could see how much Eliza cared for Emmitt. So, she nodded in agreement With a serious expression, Tine said, “I’ll come back as soon as I can. Wat for me.”
Eliza smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait for you
Tina quickly left with Emmitt
When Eliza returmed, Nolan glanced around, seemingly sensing something but said nothing
During the journey to Woteria, he stayed close to Eliza at all times, never leaving her side.
Meanwhile, in Hasen City, Diana was dealing with the first trouble that arose after the news of her upcoming coronation spread
“So, you broke off our engagement just because you wanted to become the Queen?” Matthew asked, his face twisted in anger as he glared at Diana.
