Before anyone could react, a slender figure descended into the midst of the masked attackers. With two swift strikes, two of them were taken down. Before anyone could react, a slender figure landed among the masked men. Two swift strikes Inter, two of them were down.
The fight quickly turned into a one–sided slaughter. Diana wotched in shock as the dozen masked attackers surrounding her were swiftly taken out by the graceful figure.
“Miss Baker, my master sent me to bring you back.” It was only then that Diana recognized her savior.
Diana’s eyes lit up as she finally recognized her savior. “Tina? It’s you!”
After finishing off the attackers, Tina stepped forward and helped her up. “Miss Baker, can you still walk?”
“Just barely Diana replied with a forced smile, though her mind was racing
Diana quickly turned her head, only to find that the spot where Isabelle had been standing was now empty.
“The moment I made a move, she bolted, Tina said, her tone tinged with confusion. Since Isabelle had been wearing a wide -brimmed hat earlier, Tina hadn’t recognized her. She found it odd that the woman had fled so decisively, without a moment‘
s hesitation.
“Of course, she had to run, Diana sneered.
Diana knew exactly why Isabelle had fled.
It wasn’t just because of Tina’s overwhelming strength, which was obvious from the moment she struck.
The main reason was that Isabelle didn’t want Eliza to find out she was trying to kill Diana.
If it came to that, Diana wouldn’t hesitate to expose her misdeeds.
But unfortunately, because of Eliza, they had spent two years pretending to be friends. Isabelle knew Diana’s habits just as well as Diana knew hers.
That was why neither of them would ever let
t Eliza in on their feud.
Even now, Eliza still didn’t know that Diana once went after Isabelle herself.
Eliza asked, “What happened to you? How did you end up like this?”
“Oh, come on, I already told you! I ran into an assassin. Eliza, you know how some people just can’t stand the Baker family. When they found out I came to Hasen City alone, they sent someone after me.”
Inside Saint Grace Nunnery, Eliza anxiously pressed Diana for answers, but Diana stubbornly refused to tell the truth. Eliza’s face turned cold as she snapped, “I don’t buy it! Do you take me for a fool? Even if those people hate your family, most they’d do is try something in Westshire or somewhere else. How could they possibly dare to act in Hasen City?” They’d have to be insane to do this under the Emperor’s very nose. Anyone who tried would either be reckless beyond belief or have a death wish for their entire family.

Eliza glared at Diana. “If you still won’t tell me the truth, then don’t even think about sleeping next to me tonight. Go sleep
outside!”
Diana looked pitifully at Renee. “Renee, help me out here!“”
Renee immediately turned her head away and refused, “My bed’s too small. No room for you.”
Diana then looked up at the ceiling. “Tina?”
From the rooftop, Tina’s muffled voice came down, rejecting her as well, “I don’t sleep.”
Unaware that Tina actually did have a bed but wasn’t telling her, Diana’s face twisted in despair, tears threatening to spill over. “Am I really going to have to sleep in the courtyard tonight?”
Eliza shot her another glare. “So you’d rather sleep outside than just tell me the truth?
“Diana, I’m seriously getting angry now.”
Eliza smiled faintly, but her eyes were already tied an

intly, but her eyes were already tinged with fury.
ik, okay? I’ll talk!”
Eliza waited silently for her to continue.
After a long pause, Diana finally said. “Actually, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager… they’ve already drafted the decree. In half a month, they’ll summon Grandpa and Father to Hasen City… to announce the new Empress.”
