The Silent 444 444.Chapter 444 Eliza was completely stunned the thought, in soon! Diana shrugged lightly "The Empress Dowager thinks its t"What about you?" Eliza looked at her with worry in her eyes.

Eliza looked at her with worry in her eyes.

Diana smiled faintly Tm ready whenever" She had already braced herself for this moment long ago. It was just happening a little earlier than expected Eliza studied her carefully, noticing the forced calm in her demeanor. She stayed silent for a while before finally speaking So, the assassins they must've caught wind of the queen selection and tried to eliminate you before it could happen?" Ever since the young king ascended the throne, the court had been buzzing with speculation about who would bechis queen The Empress Dowager had managed to delay the matter, citing the king's youth as the reason. But now that he had cof age, the selection could no longer be postponed.

Once the process began, it would undoubtedly spark fierce rivalries both within the court and beyond.

That was why the royal family had to take control of the situation.

Diana was the Empress Dowager's secretly chosen candidate for queen.

But somehow, the news had leaked far earlier than expected.

Eliza frowned, still trying to make sense of it all.

Diana silently apologized to Eliza in her heart several times.

After all, the news hadn't actually gotten out yet.

Aside from the two in the palace and herself, Eliza was the first to know.

Of course, now Renee and Tina were also in the loop.

But it didn't matter. Soon, the whole world would know anyway.

Honestly, she had only mentioned it to brush Eliza off Feeling guilty, Diana shifted her gaze, not daring to meet Eliza's eyes.

Eliza, still reeling from the shock and worry over how quickly the news had come, didn't notice Diana's evasive look. She said, "For now, you shouldn't go out. Many of your guards have already sacrificed themselves, and it's too dangerous outside. Why not stay here at Saint Grace Nunnery? Witharound, those people wouldn't dare act recklessly." After all, she wasn't just a Holy Lady in nanymore.

Not to mention, Saint Grace Nunnery was a place of peace and her sacred ground for practice. If anyone dared to cause trouble here, they'd be offending both the King and Prince Regent.

Of course, that was just on the surface.

Behind the scenes, aside from Tina, there were also her veno also her venomous creatures scattered throughout the nunnery.

Anyone who dared intrude would face consequences worse than death. "Alright! I'll do whatever you say, Eliza!" Diana agreed without hesitation. To be extra cautious, Eliza brought out her personal stash, equipping Diana with various antidotes and poisons.

She even, with Diana's consent, placed an almost invisible little spider on her. "It's so tiny. Won't I accidentally crush it? Diana widened her eyes, staring at the spider perched on her fingertip.

The spider was barely half the size of her pinky nail, with a translucent body that seemed to shimmer faintly. If she didn't look closely, she wouldn't even notice it Eliza said, "Relax, it's smarter than you think. It won't get crushed." "Does it need to be fed?" Diana asked curiously.

"It eats poison. The pills I gave you are loaded its own. For instance, if there's poison on som Successfully unlocked! a month. Even if you forget, it'll find food on for you.

"So you don't need to worry about it at all. It'll hide itself when there's nothing to do. Just pretend it's not there." "Got it!" Diana nodded in understanding Eliza meticulously equipped Diana with everything she could.

444 Chapter 444 But even after all the precautions, Eliza couldn't shake her unease Before Diana went to bed, Eliza handed her a glass of the magical water She said, "This is a special brew I made to help you recover. The ingredients are super rare, so make sure you drink every last drop" "An elixir?" Diana asked, taking the glass and staring at the crystal-clear liquid inside. She looked a bit confused. "Are you sure this isn't just plain water?" "Absolutely sure. Now hurry up and drink it. Once you've had it, get ssleep. You'll understand everything by morning" Hearing her insist, Diana tilted her head back and drank it all in one go, the cool liquid sliding smoothly down her throat "It tastes kind of refreshing," she remarked As the liquid settled in her stomach, Diana felt an immediate sense of comfort.

Her body seemed to relax, and even the pain from her wounds felt significantly reduced.

"Alright, tto sleep, Eliza said, patting her shoulder "When you wake up tomorrow, don't freak out, okay? And don't tell anyone about this. It's my biggest secret Promiseyou'll keep it safe" "What kind of brew is this?" Diana muttered, her curiosity clearly piqued.

But no matter how much she pressed, Eliza refused to reveal anything. Left with no choice, Diana climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Eliza was already up and attending her morning prayers.

Diana, the second to wake, sat on her bed in stunned silence. She stared at her arm, now completely healed, her mind racing. "How is this even possible?" Her eyes wide with disbelief. "Eliza, your secret is downright terrifying..." she murmured to herself.

Matthew escorted Sophie back to the Duke's estate.

Sophie's whip injuries were severe, and if her facial wounds weren't treated properly, they might leave permanent scars.

It was a nightmare for women, especially for Sophie, who had always been proud of her beauty.

Back at the estate, Sophie cried endlessly. If not for the physician's stern warning that her tears would worsen her facial injuries, she might have cried for three days straight.

Her tears, however, managed to soften Gabriel's heart just enough to let her stay and recover at the estate.

But Matthew wasn't so lucky. He was promptly thrown out by him.

"Your sister needs tto recover, so the task falls entirely on you now nd om Fail, and my decision won'fchange. Soon enough, she'll be out there struggling to survive, just like you," Gabriel declared coldly. With a loud bang, the estate's heavy doors shut in Matthew's face, cutting off any chance of appeal.

Matthew clenched his teeth, frustration boiling inside him, and turned to leave. He was also injured, but Gabriel didn't even offer him anything.

Left with no other choice, Matthew decided to seek out Dylan.

Little did he know, at the foot of Mount Westin, a storm was brewing within a humble straw hut, waiting for his return.
